Chapter 213: Who is he

When Wu Zhen heard this, he speculated, “Miss, did you perhaps know this man before, but have forgotten him?”

Deep in thought, Gu Dai shook her head. “The memories 1 lost have returned, but there are none concerning this man.”

Wu Zhen couldn’t fathom the reason either. However, recalling Gu Dai’s recent bouts of insomnia, he suggested, “Miss Gu Dai, 1 remember you’re skilled in the art of scent-blending, and some fragrances have soothing properties. Would you like to give it a try?”

Gu Dai nodded, replying simply, “Alright.”

Elated, Wu Zhen quickly said, “1’11 fetch the ingredients for scent-blending right away!”

He was swift. Within moments, all the necessary tools were prepared and laid out.

Gazing at the fragrant materials before her, Gu Dai felt a long-absent sense of familiarity.

She had learned the craft from her grandmother, and since her amnesia, she had not practiced it. But then, a memory sprang forth—there was a time when Song Ling couldn’t sleep, and she had crafted a blend for him, relying on her intuitive sense of the craft.

Despite having a feel for the task, she was not yet proficient, and after months of fumbling and stumbling, she finally succeeded.

Yet when she presented her work to Song Ling, filled with anticipation, he showed no regard for it, carelessly casting it aside.

The incident had occurred quite some time ago, but the memory still ached in Gu Dai’s heart as she recalled it.

Meng Zhi descended from the stairs just in time to notice Gu Dai’s pensive expression. Though her mind seemed elsewhere, her hands moved deftly through the motions.

After she completed her blending, he inquired, “Why did you suddenly take up scent-blending, Daidai?”

Gu Dai recounted the conversation she had earlier with Wu Zhen.

Her bewilderment deepened, questioning why she would dream of a man she didn’t remember. She didn’t even notice the flash of light that crossed the depths of Meng Zhi’s eyes after hearing her words.

Meng Zhi had originally thought that Gu Dai had forgotten him, but it turned out she had merely buried her memories deep within her heart.

Seeing Meng Zhi remaining silent, she asked, “Third Brother, do you know who the man in my dreams is?”

Meng Zhi shook his head, responding, “I don’t know.”

“Alright then,” Gu Dai said softly.

Suddenly remembering that Meng Zhi had just arrived by plane three hours ago, she hurriedly said, “Third Brother, you should go rest in your room.”

Meng Zhi declined and eagerly pulled up a message that had kept him too excited to sleep. “Daidai, look, Director Zhou finally got what he deserves.”

The internet was ablaze with discussions, instigated by Feng Xue’s reveal of Zhou Gang’s infidelity.

Upon seeing the message sent by Feng Xue, Zhou Gang was immediately alarmed and hastened to clarify online that in his line of work, it was inevitable to encounter many temptations, hoping for understanding from others.

“Good heavens, am I reading this right?” one netizen exclaimed in disbelief.

“You’re not mistaken,” chimed in another. “I had to read it over a dozen times before 1 could accept that 1 hadn’t misread the message! 1 can’t fathom how a man can be so shameless as to ask us to understand his infidelity!”

“I always knew that a mismatched couple would have major problems! Feng Xue, please don’t be soft-hearted. There are 3.5 billion men in the world. After him, you will surely find someone better!”

The comments online were overwhelmingly favorable.

Under the weight of public scorn, Zhou Gang withdrew his initial remarks and issued an apology.

Ultimately, even though Zhou Gang was unwilling to let go of the Feng family’s support, he had no choice but to succumb to the pressure and agreed to sign the divorce papers.

Once Feng Xue had the divorce certificate in hand, the whole internet celebrated for her.

Gu Dai raised an eyebrow in surprise, sensing that something was amiss.

Finally, after perusing a comments section brimming with warmth, she realized what was wrong — everyone was siding with Feng Xue, and it looked as though someone was manipulating the situation.

Before Gu Dai could speculate on who it might be, her phone rang. It was a call from Su Ting.

Su Ting asked, “Sis, have you seen the post about Feng Xue and Zhou Gang’s divorce?”

Gu Dai replied, “Yes, I’ve seen it! By the way, did you hire an internet army under Feng Xue’s post?”

After a moment of silence, Su Ting responded softly, “Well, actually, those internet trolls were initially hired by Zhou Gang.. 1 merely turned them to our side!”
