Chapter 191: Su Ting is My People

Gu Dai chuckled softly, “I’ve already paid for the necklace, so you don’t need to reimburse me.”
Su Ting snapped back to reality and was on the verge of proposing a bank transfer of the ten billion to Gu Dai.
However, it seemed Gu Dai could almost read his mind. To change the topic, she suggested, “Let’s continue with the auction!”
Her gaze returned to the stage, fully engrossed.
Seeing Gu Dai’s concentrated expression, Su Ting didn’t want to disturb her, so he swallowed his words.
His attention too returned to the stage, where a Suzhou embroidery painting was being displayed.
Gu Dai’s eyes lit up when she saw it, and without hesitation, she raised her bidding card, “One million.”
Suzhou embroidery wasn’t a universally popular art, so after Gu Dai made her bid, no one else chimed in.
To her surprise, Song Ling raised his card again.
Song Ling stated, “Three million.”
Gu Dai took a deep breath, trying to keep her calm. She turned to Song Ling, her voice laced with skepticism, “Are you trying to antagonize me?”
Song Ling retorted coldly, “No, I just like it.”
A sarcastic smile curled Gu Dai’s lips.
It was almost comical how Song Ling’s preferences seemed to conveniently align with hers. When she bid on the necklace, he did too. Now, with the Suzhou embroidery, he followed suit.
She found it hard to believe, especially since during their marriage, she never saw him show any interest in Suzhou embroidery.
Su Ting raised his card, announcing, “Ten million.”
Without missing a beat, Song Ling shot back, “Twenty million!”
As Su Ting was about to counter, Gu Dai gently held down his arm, signaling him to stop.
Su Ting tilted his head, looking quizzically at her.
Gu Dai subtly shook her head, then addressed Song Ling, “We’ll pass.”
Thanks to Gu Dai’s decision, the Suzhou embroidery went to Song Ling.
Zhou Ci was also puzzled by Gu Dai’s decision. However, noticing she seemed resolved not to bid further, he deliberated for a moment and chose not to bid either.
Song Ling, with a smirk curling up his lips, taunted, “Such a spineless man, relying on a woman and not even willing to spend her money.”
In Song Ling’s eyes, given how fiercely Gu Dai had bid for the necklace earlier, it couldn’t have been her reluctance to spend. It had to be Su Ting’s doing.
Gu Dai’s brow furrowed at Song Ling’s condescending tone. She patted Su Ting reassuringly and retorted, “I was the one who decided against it.”
Song Ling sneered, not believing her, “Gu Dai, ever since you left me, not only has your taste declined, but you seem to have become more foolish. You’re defending a man who can’t even spend on you.”
Gu Dai stared hard at him, her patience waning. “Do you suffer from delusions? I’ve told you it was my choice, so why are you fixated on blaming Su Ting?”
Song Ling’s face soured, his voice tinged with frustration, “You always go all out when you see something you want, like the necklace just now!”
Gu Dai nodded, acknowledging his observation, “Yes, that’s how I behave with things I desire.”
Gaining some confidence from her admission, Song Ling continued, “See, even you admitted…”
She cut him off sharply, “But that’s when it’s something I want. When it’s something I don’t care for, 1 easily let go.”
Song Ling was taken aback.
Without missing a beat, Gu Dai added, “This doesn’t just apply to objects, but people as well.”
Song Ling’s eyes darted under her piercing gaze, his voice betraying a hint of vulnerability, “You think I care if you like me or not?”
Gu Dai exhaled, “If you truly don’t care, that would save me a lot of trouble.”
Song Ling’s fist clenched, the veins on his hand standing out prominently.
Gu Dai, seemingly unaffected, continued, “You really should watch your words, Song Ling. After all, you’re the president of a company. Labeling someone as a ‘spineless man’ isn’t very becoming. Can you imagine the embarrassment if someone overheard?”
She straightened her sleeves, her voice cold and firm, “I’m letting it slide this time. But if you dare speak of my people that way again, you’ll receive a legal notice immediately.”
Hearing Gu Dai refer to Su Ting as “her people” made Song Ling’s emotions flare even more. Taking several deep breaths to calm himself, the fire inside him blazed hotter.
His eyes fixed on Gu Dai, he spat out bitterly, “Impressive, Gu Dai. Very impressive..”
