Chapter 480: Same Idea

Translator: _Min_

Xu Huan watched Gu Ming leave cheerfully, lowering her gaze with a hint of loss in her voice, “Today is my 70th birthday, and instead of offering blessings, Gu Ming, my son, came to ask me for money…”

Gu Dai looked at Xu Huan with sympathy and softly called out, “Grandma…”

Xu Huan shook her head, “I’m fine, just a bit sentimental.”

She quickly remembered the previous incident and urgently said, “Daidai, you and Su Ting go and take the money back from Gu Ming. Even if he disrupts the banquet, it doesn’t matter. Don’t suffer any loss because of this.”

Gu Dai shook her head gently, “Grandma, don’t worry, I’ve already thought of a plan.”

“Really?” Xu Huan asked.

Gu Dai nodded affirmatively, “Really.”

Hearing this, Xu Huan finally relaxed.

“Grandma, the banquet is about to start. You should change into your dress and get ready to make your entrance. I’ll go out and welcome the guests,” Gu Dai said.

“Alright,” Xu Huan responded.

As Su Ting followed Gu Dai out of the room, he stopped her to ask, “Daidai, are you planning to have someone snatch the money from Gu Ming’s hands?”

Gu Dai stiffened, incredulous, “How did you know my plan?”

Su Ting smiled, “Because I thought the same and have already arranged for someone to do it.”

Gu Dai nodded in understanding, “So, we had the same idea. Since you’ve already arranged for someone, I’ll just wait for the outcome.”

“Okay,” Su Ting nodded.

In the Gu family’s backyard.

Shi Nuan admired the surroundings excitedly, asking, “Who designed all this? It’s so beautiful. I want to hire this designer to make my home look this good!”

A servant laughed and answered, “Mr. Su Ting designed it.”

Shi Nuan nodded in admiration, “I didn’t expect Su Ting to have such high aesthetic standards. That’s amazing!”

Meng Zhi listened to Shi Nuan’s praises for Su Ting, feeling a twinge of jealousy. He scoffed lightly and then said indifferently, “I understand design as well. I’ll help with your home after the banquet.”

Shi Nuan’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Meng Zhi, nodding eagerly while expressing her surprise, “You understand design too? That’s impressive!”

Meng Zhi had never dabbled in design before, but he didn’t want to seem inferior in Shi Nuan’s eyes, “Design isn’t difficult for me. The result will definitely look better than Su Ting’s.”

Shi Nuan was full of anticipation, “I can’t wait to see the finished product.”

Meng Zhi nodded, “Don’t worry, you’ll be satisfied.”

However, after hearing Meng Zhi’s words, Shi Nuan felt a bit panicked inside, with a bad premonition that Meng Zhi might mess things up.

“Why are you staring at me? Do you feel unwell?” Meng Zhi asked with concern.

Looking at Meng Zhi’s smiling face, Shi Nuan’s mind gradually drifted. She felt her earlier suspicion was just a misunderstanding.

With Meng Zhi’s handsome appearance and bright smile, how could he possibly mess things up?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Suddenly, a woman’s crying voice reached Shi Nuan’s ears, “Huang Shan, I bore your children and always had my father support your business with his resources. I’ve been so good to you, and this is how you treat me?”

Shi Nuan was startled and looked around in confusion.

She realized that she had been so focused on chatting with Meng Zhi that she hadn’t paid attention to her surroundings, not knowing where she had ended up.

Meng Zhi took Shi Nuan by the wrist and led her behind a tree.

There, they saw a woman holding a child, dressed in wrinkled clothes, disheveled, questioning a man dressed in a suit who looked respectable.

The man, referred to as “Huang Shan” by the woman, looked at her disdainfully, “I brought my secretary to the banquet for the sake of the Huang family’s reputation. Look at how rough you look. You don’t even dress normally. How can I be proud to have you by my side?”

The woman was stunned, unable to believe his words, “You once said I was the most beautiful person in the world. Why have you changed, you…”

Huang Shan didn’t respond, but his secretary did.

The secretary said, “President Huang praised you because your father used to be able to help the Huang family. But now, the Huang family far surpasses yours, and you have no value to them.”

The woman shook her head in denial, “No, I don’t believe it. What you’re saying must be false.”

She looked at Huang Shan with hopeful eyes, seeking his affirmation.

However, Huang Shan embraced the secretary, helplessly saying, “Darling, why did you tell her the whole truth?”
