Su Ci politely shook Meng Chuan’s hand, smiling as he spoke, “Indeed, it’s been a long time. However, I often saw your movies abroad. Every time I watched, I couldn’t help but marvel at your acting skills.”

Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up, but he humbly responded, “You flatter me too much.”

The charity banquet was set to start only once everyone had arrived, so Gu Dai and the others engaged in casual conversation.

Just then, a commotion arose outside, followed by photographers shouting, “Song Ling from Song Corporation is here, everyone get ready to take pictures!”

Flashes flickered anew.

Meng Chuan chuckled, “When Daidai and Su Ci arrived earlier, the photographers were just as frenzied. It’s really crazy.”

Gu Dai, who had been focused on moving forward earlier, hadn’t noticed the flurry of flashing lights. Now seeing it, she nodded in agreement with Meng Chuan’s remark, “It really is madness.”

Song Ling, clad in a black suit, walked up the red carpet surrounded by people. Many female guests gazed at him, smitten, “He’s so handsome.”

But the next moment, they couldn’t help but express their confusion, “Isn’t President Song always without a female companion? What changed this time? Could he be in a relationship?”

As this question arose, people noticed that Song Ling was not alone; a woman in a pale blue gown followed him.

Meng Chuan, puzzled, inquired, “Who is this woman? Do you know her?”

Having only recently returned to the country, Su Ci shook his head, “I don’t know her.”

Gu Dai took a moment to recognize her and then said, “That’s Sheng Xin.

Second Brother, do you remember her from the restaurant before?”

Meng Chuan thought back, uncertain, “Is she the one who wanted to sign a contract with me?”

Gu Dai nodded, “Yes.”

Meng Chuan understood, nodding, “Oh, it’s her.”

Sheng Xin, trailing behind Song Ling, almost ground her teeth in irritation.

She wanted to call out to him to wait for her, but with so many reporters around, she had to maintain her smile and hurriedly follow.

She reached out to hook her arm through Song Ling’s.

However, Song Ling antic.i.p.ated this and, pretending not to care, turned slightly to answer the reporters’ questions.

Sheng Xin, struggling to keep her smile, had an idea when she saw Gu Dai in the venue. She leaned close to Song Ling, “Hooking your arm with mine is helping you. If you don’t believe me, look inside the venue.”

Following her gaze, Song Ling’s eyes brightened upon seeing Gu Dai, but dimmed instantly when he noticed the man by her side.

According to Zhao Xuan’s investigation, this man was Su Ci, recently returned to the country, and likely the brother of Su Ting, confirming that he was the man in Gu Dai’s heart. To Song Ling, he was nothing but… a replacement.

Seeing Song Ling’s darkened eyes, Sheng Xin’s face lit up with a smile, whispering, “Acting close with me might make her jealous, realizing her feelings for you.”

Song Ling wavered internally, looked down for a moment, then extended his arm for Sheng Xin to hook.

Sheng Xin, arm in arm with Song Ling, beamed even brighter, feeling the envious glances of other women, her chin lifted slightly in disdain.

Song Ling looked towards Gu Dai, a flicker of joy in his heart when their eyes met. He suddenly felt that Gu Dai might care about him after all; otherwise, why would she look at him?

Gu Dai unconsciously furrowed her brows and looked away.

Pondering, she voiced her confusion, “Song Ling previously showed no interest in Sheng Xin. Why are they together now? I don’t understand, it’s really baffling.”

Meng Chuan looked at Gu Dai with concern, “Daidai…”

Gu Dai rea.s.sured, “I’m fine, just a bit curious. Let’s not dwell on it, after all, it’s none of my business.”

Su Ci’s gaze fell on Song Ling after hearing Gu Dai’s words.

Song Ling, noticing Su Ci, instantly felt that Su Ci’s gentle appearance belied a turbulent undercurrent in his calm eyes.

Meng Chuan, observing the silent clash between the two men, didn’t intend to interrupt. He was curious to see what would happen next.

It was at this moment Zhou Ci appeared, surprised to see Song Ling, “I thought you wouldn’t attend the banquet. I didn’t expect you to come.”

Song Ling withdrew his gaze, “Yeah, my health is much better. Thought I’d get some fresh air..”
