Chapter 497 - 497:1 Don’t Like Him

Gu Dai spoke with a smile, “Grandpa, Su Ting treats me very well. I’ll bring him over to meet you when there’s a chance.”

Song An replied affirmatively, “Good.”

After a brief pause, he continued, “Daidai, even without seeing the boy in person, I can sense that he must be better than Song Ling. I wish for your happiness and am glad that you’ve moved on from Song Ling and stepped out of the shadows of the past.”

Song Ling, standing at the doorway, heard Song An’s words and clenched his teeth, barely containing his anger as he called out, “Grandpa!”

Song An coughed lightly, “How did you get here?”

Song Ling, with his gaze fixed on Gu Dai and after hesitating for a moment, turned his head away and said, “The company wasn’t busy today, so I came to see you.”

Unable to hold back, Song An chuckled. Song Ling hadn’t visited in days, yet he showed up the same day as Gu Dai, clearly indicating his motive.

Song Ling took his seat, prepared for the meal, and peeled a shrimp for Gu Dai, placing it in her bowl, “Eat.”

Gu Dai glanced at it briefly and then indifferently said, “I don’t like shrimp.”

Song Ling’s face darkened, “You clearly like them. Besides, you ate all the shrimp Su Ting peeled for you before.”

Gu Dai simply responded with a nonchalant “Oh.”

After a pause, she added, “Perhaps it’s because I don’t like the shrimp you peel.”

Song Ling’s expression turned ashen as he gripped his chopsticks tightly.

Seeing this, Song An shook his head, not understanding why Song Ling was humiliating himself.

Gu Dai continued to eat, occasionally chatting with Song An and completely ignoring Song Ling beside her.

Song Ling’s face grew increasingly somber at this scene.

Wang Lan entered and, upon seeing the three dining together, couldn’t resist taunting Gu Dai, “Song Ling had to return to work, yet you made the old master call him here just so you could have a meal together.”

Both Gu Dai and Song An found Wang Lan’s comment absurd.

Song Ling’s expression turned icy as he pushed Wang Lan towards the door, “Mom, you’re supposed to be taking care of Song Yu. Go back, don’t waste your time here.”

Wang Lan struggled free, “I’m here to seek justice for you.”

Her gaze fixed on Gu Dai, she said, “I’ve always said you’re not worthy of Song Ling. The only daughter-in-law I recognize is Sheng Xin. She…”

Enraged, Song Ling pushed Wang Lan to the ground, scolding, “What nonsense are you spouting?”

Wang Lan looked up at him incredulously, “You’re my son, and now you dare push me?”

Song Ling glanced disdainfully at Wang Lan and turned to Song An, “Grandpa, my mom’s been confused lately from taking care of Song Yu. I’ll take her home now.”

Gu Dai stopped Song Ling, “Wait, I have something to ask.”

Song Ling, sensing trouble, replied coldly, “There’s nothing to discuss.”

Song An stood up, “Let Gu Dai finish speaking before you leave, or you’re not allowed back here ever again.”

Song Ling paused, then attempted to leave again.

Gu Dai approached Wang Lan, grabbing her wrist, “Did you just say I called Song Ling here?”

Wang Lan, shaking off Song Ling’s grip and crossing her arms, scoffed, “Isn’t that the case?”

Gu Dai calmly replied, “I haven’t called Song Ling. How could I have invited him? Moreover, I don’t like him at all now. Why would I bother him?”

Wang Lan was momentarily taken aback but quickly regained her composure, “I don’t believe you. Even if you didn’t call him, you must have used some trick to get the old master to help you…”

Before Wang Lan could finish, Song An interjected, “I didn’t ask Song Ling to come for lunch.”

Wang Lan, puzzled, looked at Song Ling, only to meet his icy gaze.

Feeling a chill, she whispered, “Son, they must be lying, right? Tell me it was Gu Dai who asked you to come for lunch, say it!”

Song Ling, pulling Wang Lan’s arm, walked out without waiting for her to keep up.

Wang Lan, gasping for breath, heard Song Ling’s cold voice, “It seems you have too much free time at home, spouting nonsense. From today onwards, I won’t let Zhao Xuan transfer any more money into your bank account..”
