Two days later.

The Gu family’s estate witnessed a continuous influx of luxury cars, as the elite of high society gathered, exchanging words of blessing.

Meng Chuan stepped out of his car, his demeanor elegant and dignified, instantly captivating everyone’s attention.

This was a globally renowned movie star, and the thought of securing him for endorsements excited many, as they believed it would lead to substantial growth for their companies. With this in mind, they eagerly approached him.

“Mr. Meng, I am the president of Sun Corporation. We’ve developed a new product recently, and you…”

“Our Li Corporation’s products are better. Please, hear me out first, Mr. Meng.”

“Zhao Corporation has developed a new automatic vacuum cleaner.”

“Hasn’t the automatic vacuum cleaner been out for a while? You should check out our Zhou Corporation’s flying broom instead.”

“Wang Corporation has created a magical device that transfers Einstein’s intelligence, emotional quotient, happiness quotient, humor quotient… all quotients can be enhanced. Our internal tests have been positive, and getting into top universities is no longer a dream!”

Gu Dai couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of Meng Chuan being surrounded by the crowd.

Meng Chuan sighed helplessly, “I’m mainly here to celebrate Grandma Gu’s 70th birthday, not to discuss business. If you’re interested in collaboration, you can talk to my agent.”

The crowd dispersed upon hearing Meng Chuan’s words.

Gu Dai stepped forward with a smile, “The banquet will start in an hour. In the meantime, you can visit the backyard to enjoy the scenery, where food and entertainment have been prepared.”

“Great!”

Following the lead of the servants, the guests departed.

Meng Chuan approached Gu Dai, presenting a gift box, “This is a gift for Grandma Gu. By the way, is there anything I can help with?”

Gu Dai shook her head, “Su Ting has been a great help these past few days, arranging everything perfectly. Moreover, second brother, you’ve been busy shooting recently, and now that you have some free time, you should rest.”

Looking around and seeing everything as Gu Dai described, Meng Chuan nodded in agreement, “Su Ting is quite capable. I suddenly feel that you two would make a good pair; he can take care of you attentively.”

Gu Dai’s cheeks flushed with emotion as she exclaimed, “Second brother!”

Meng Chuan quickly said, “Alright, alright, I’ll stop. I’m going to rest in my room now.”

Watching Meng Chuan leave, Gu Dai breathed a sigh of relief, yet she couldn’t stop imagining a future with Su Ting.

She felt a gentle tap on her shoulder and turned to see Shi Nuan smiling at her, “Daidai, I called you twice, but you didn’t respond. What were you so engrossed in thinking about?”

Gu Dai’s mind flashed with images of Su Ting, and she opened her mouth to speak, but the words stuck in her throat as her face turned even redder.

Shi Nuan’s smile broadened, “I understand. You were thinking about Su Ting.”

Gu Dai, feeling exposed by Shi Nuan’s guess, felt her heart skip a beat. Then, seeing Meng Zhi beside Shi Nuan, she quickly changed the subject, “Nuannuan, did you come with my third brother?”

Instantly, it was Shi Nuan’s turn to blush.

Shi Nuan replied with a whisper, “Yes.”

Gu Dai leaned in to ask softly, “How did you and my third brother become so close in just a few days?”

Shi Nuan replied, “I… I was practicing racing with Meng Zhi recently, and we got to know each other better, which led to this.”

Gu Dai nodded, understandingly, with a smile, “It seems you’re one step closer to becoming my sister-in-law.”

Shi Nuan protested shyly, “Daidai!”

Meng Zhi pulled Shi Nuan into his arms, “Daidai, she’s shy, stop teasing her.”

Gu Dai nodded, her gaze upon them growing warmer.

Shi Nuan handed her prepared gift to Gu Dai, then quickly dragged Meng Zhi away from Gu Dai’s gaze.

At the entrance, a black car stopped, and Song Ling stepped out.

His eyes lit up upon seeing Gu Dai, “Daidai, this is my gift for Grandma.”

Gu Dai was surprised to see Song Ling still so excited to see her, especially after she had made everything so obvious, as if their previous conversation had never happened.

She responded coolly, without any emotion, “Thank you.”

Song Ling didn’t go inside, instead, he stood at the entrance, “I’ll stay here with you to welcome the guests..”
