Jiang Yue’s eyes dimmed slightly, her gaze holding a hint of melancholy as she looked up in defense of Wang Lan, “Auntie, you are Song Ling’s biological mother, and five hundred million yuan means nothing to him. How could he make you sign a contract?”

Wang Lan’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Jiang Yue. Her hands tightly gripped Jiang Yue’s, and she excitedly said, “Yueyue, you are the only one who cares for your auntie. You’re infinitely better than that cunning woman Gu Dai. By the way, you and Song Ling are getting married next month. Have you chosen your wedding dress yet?”

A look of dejection spread across Jiang Yue’s face.

Seeing Jiang Yue like this, Wang Lan asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Is Song Ling not cooperating with you? Just tell your auntie, and I’ll call him and scold him right now.”

Jiang Yue shook her head slightly and began in a soft voice, “Auntie, Song Ling and I went to choose a wedding dress this afternoon. I invited him to dinner, but he declined, saying he had work. But… but a friend sent me a photo of him standing with Gu Dai.”

Quickly, as her voice trailed off, Jiang Yue showed it to Wang Lan.

In the photograph, Song Ling was captured looking down, his eyes fixed intently on Gu Dai, as if engaged in earnest conversation with her. Under the veil of night, there was an ambiguous air between them.

Upon seeing the photograph, Wang Lan’s eyes narrowed and her anger caused her to slap her thigh as she exclaimed, “Song Ling is secretly meeting this wretched woman! What is he trying to do? It must be that cheap woman Gu Dai seducing him!”

Jiang Yue hurriedly spoke in a soothing tone, “Auntie, don’t be angry. Sister Gu Dai already has a supermodel boyfriend. She couldn’t possibly do this.”

Wang Lan sneered, “That’s not certain. Yueyue, you’re too kind-hearted, thinking Gu Dai is a good person. Don’t forget, she’s surrounded by several men. Maybe she was born to seduce men, and having a boyfriend won’t stop her!”

Jiang Yue’s face turned ashen and her body swayed as if she was about to collapse.

Wang Lan embraced Jiang Yue, reassuring her softly, “But don’t worry, Yueyue, your auntie will always stand by your side. If Song Ling dares to do anything wrong, I won’t spare him. Rest assured.”

Jiang Yue managed a small smile, clinging to Wang Lan like a lost child, “Mhmm, with Auntie here, I’m not worried.”

Jiang Yue continued, “Actually, when I saw this photo, 1 thought it was a misunderstanding and didn’t plan to show it to Auntie. 1 brought it out because after hearing about Auntie’s situation, I felt that the reason Song Ling did this might be because Gu Dai is trying to sow discord between you two.”

Wang Lan, moved by Jiang Yue’s words about “sowing discord between mother and son,” recalled the times Song Ling helped Gu Dai and his cold, impatient, and forceful tone towards her today.

Wang Lan’s face hardened and her voice turned icy, “It’s a possibility; Gu Dai is definitely trying to drive a wedge between Song Ling and me. I’ll have someone watch her. When I get hold of her secrets, she’ll pay!”

The smile on Jiang Yue’s face brightened.contemporary romance

In her mind, Jiang Yue had a epiphany. Wang Lan was indeed foolish, but she now found her foolishness endearing. Sometimes, a slight hint was all it took to bend her to her will.

After giving orders over the phone, Wang Lan’s mood lifted considerably. She turned to Jiang Yue with a beaming smile and asked: “Yueyue, are you free tonight? My back and waist are aching. Your massage technique last time was particularly good, now…”

Jiang Yue’s expression stiffened for a moment before she recovered and apologetically said, “Auntie, I have an appointment with a private doctor for my hand tonight. He should be here already. Next time I have a chance, I’ll massage for you.”

Jiang Yue left without giving Wang Lan a chance to respond.

In the three years that Gu Dai was oppressed by Wang Lan and dared not resist, Jiang Yue was no fool. This old hag actually wanted to exploit her?

Never!

Gu Dai’s mood grew heavier in the following days.

Eventually, the day of Gu Father and Gu Mother’s memorial arrived.

The sky was overcast, and as the light rain fell, Gu Dai walked toward the cemetery, holding her mother’s favorite flowers and her father’s cherished painting.

Her face turned slightly to the side as she said to Lin Sheng beside her, “Uncle Lin, it’s raining today; you didn’t have to come.”

Lin Sheng shook his head, and spoke softly, “Mr. and Mrs. were especially good to me and took care of me. On this day, I cannot be absent..”
