As the day pa.s.sed, Gu Dai realized it was getting late. She gently pried her clothes from the grasping hand of Song Yu. “I have matters to attend to and must leave now.”

In Song Yu’s eyes, a hint of reluctance flickered, but she obediently nodded. “Farewell, kind sister. I will miss you.”

Gu Dai, eager to extricate herself from further entanglement, responded indifferently before swiftly departing.

w.a.n.g Lan sighed in relief as she watched Gu Dai leave.

Sheng Xin, puzzled, inquired, “Auntie, why does Song Yu call Gu Dai a kind sister?”

w.a.n.g Lan paused, perplexed. “Kind sister?”

She had been so incensed at hearing Song Yu address Gu Dai as “sister” that she missed the term.

Quickly pulling Song Yu to her side, she spoke angrily, “Gu Dai is nothing but a wretch; she’s not your kind sister…”

Song Ling clenched his fists, veins throbbing with anger, and commanded sternly, “Silence!”

w.a.n.g Lan, startled, fell silent but couldn’t help muttering, “What I said is the truth.”

Song Ling’s cold gaze fell upon w.a.n.g Lan. “Your allowance is halved from now on.”

w.a.n.g Lan shrieked in disbelief, “My monthly allowance is already meager, and now you halve it? Do you even remember you’re my son?”

Ignoring w.a.n.g Lan, Song Ling turned to Sheng Xin, “We’re going home. Don’t follow.”

With those words, he led Song Yu into the elevator, casting an icy stare at w.a.n.g Lan. “Get in.”

Sheng Xin watched them leave, her expression growing darker.

The driver asked in a low voice, “Miss Sheng, where to next?”

Sheng Xin replied curtly, “Home.”

She had rushed to the hospital to see Song Ling, hoping to make her presence felt, but ended up being dismissed without a word.

Looking out at the pa.s.sing scenery, Sheng Xin suddenly changed her mind. “To the Gu Group.”

Upon reaching the office, Gu Dai briefly reviewed her work and instructed Zheng Ming, “My grandmother injured her leg. For the time being, bring my work to the hospital; I’ll handle it there.”

Zheng Ming nodded in agreement.

After a moment’s thought and seeing Gu Dai about to leave, he ventured, “Chairwoman Gu, our company has ventured into various fields, but we haven’t touched pharmaceuticals. What do you think…”

Gu Dai, knowledgeable in medicine, immediately responded, “If we find a suitable pharmaceutical company, we can definitely collaborate.”

Developing pharmaceuticals would not only elevate Gu Group’s value but also conquer more diseases – a win-win strategy.

Thinking this, Gu Dai added, “Research a few pharmaceutical companies; I’ll review them first.”

Zheng Ming readily presented a doc.u.ment. “Miss Gu, I’ve compiled a list of top-ranking and promising pharmaceutical companies worldwide for your review at your leisure.”

Gu Dai took the doc.u.ment, “I’ll look at it now.”

Pleased, she nodded, “Well done. The doc.u.ment is organized well and I have a general understanding of the pharmaceutical companies. By the way, when did you prepare this?”

Zheng Ming, flattered, blushed, “I did it a few days ago. Antic.i.p.ating our company’s growth, I thought it might be useful.”

Gu Dai smiled approvingly, “Excellent work. Your salary will be doubled this month.”

At Gu Dai’s smile, Zheng Ming’s ears reddened.

After reviewing the doc.u.ment, Gu Dai said, “Zheng Ming, contact the head of Yuan Ming Pharmaceuticals and see if we can arrange a meeting to discuss collaboration.”

Yuan Ming Pharmaceuticals, though recently established, was rapidly growing and ranked highly worldwide. A partnership would promise significant development.

Zheng Ming replied, “I’ll contact them right away.”

As Gu Dai stepped out of the office, Sheng Xin confronted her.

“Gu Dai, I need to talk to you.”

Gu Dai handed her doc.u.ments to an a.s.sistant, “Take these to the hospital. I’ll be there shortly.”

Turning to Sheng Xin, she asked, “What do you want to talk about?”

Gu Dai admired Sheng Xin’s resilience; even after being exposed for selling fakes at the charity banquet, she still managed to converse with a smile.

Sheng Xin stared at Gu Dai, “You’re divorced from Song Ling, and you’ve always said you don’t care about him. So, I hope you’ll stay away from him.”

Gu Dai responded indifferently, “Nothing would please me more..”
