Song Yin wasn’t ready to enter so easily. She suggested to Mrs. Fu, “Auntie Fu, let’s wait for Sister. She rarely attends banquets. We should go in together.”
Mrs. Fu, still harboring some resentment toward Song Fan due to the broken engagement, responded somewhat coldly, “Your sister is no longer a child. She can enter by herself.”
However, when Mrs. Fu turned her head and spotted Song Fan nearby, her expression instantly brightened, and she seemed rooted to the spot.
Fu Nian had to discreetly tug on his mother’s clothing to bring her back to reality. He knew his mother had a tendency to be entranced by beauty, and she had initially agreed to the engagement due to Song Fan’s mother’s beauty, believing Song Fan would grow up to be equally beautiful.
Although Mrs. Fu was tempted to approach Song Fan and extend her hand, her sense of reason reminded her of the broken engagement between Song Fan and her son, prompting her to maintain a certain distance.
Unaware of Mrs. Fu’s tendency, Song Yin continued, “Let’s wait for Sister.
Brother only brought me along. I wonder whose invitation Sister came in with.”
Fu Nian couldn’t resist a derisive comment, “Who knows if she knows some unsavory friends who can even sneak into the Gu Family’s banquet?”
Upon hearing Fu Nian’s words, Song Yin felt a surge of joy. Finally, someone was expressing their disgust for Song Fan. To maintain a facade of benevolence, she tried to help Song Fan, saying, “Sister might have made some good friends. We should be happy for her.”
Fu Nian remained disdainful, convinced that Song Fan’s friend couldn’t be trusted. After all, Song Fan had once tried to poison her brother.
To maintain her image as the understanding sister, Song Yin gently added, “Brother Fu Nian, consider it a favor for me. If I don’t wait for Sister to join us, she’ll surely report back to Big Brother.”
Fu Nian’s eyes widened as he continued, “She even dares to complain first? She was the one who did something wrong.”
Song Yin was startled and quickly covered her mouth and said, “I was mistaken, Brother Fu Nian. Please don’t tell anyone.”
Fu Nian’s growing resentment toward Song Fan began when the engagement was broken off. Yet, he still didn’t fully grasp the extent of his attachment to it.
He approached Song Fan and said, “Song Fan, do you understand the concept of ‘clean and self-respect’? You went to great lengths just to attend this banquet!”
Song Fan couldn’t fathom what he was getting at as she looked down at Fu Nian’s righteous look. What was going on inside his mind?
She crossed her arms as she looked down at him, and asked, “What are you talking about? Why don’t you say it out loud?”
Fu Nian found himself unable to articulate his suspicions in public and had to maintain his respect for the Song Family, despite being convinced that Song Fan had done something wrong.
After witnessing Fu Nian’s inability to voice his concerns, Song Fan sighed and quipped, “When will you start using your brain?”
At that moment, Song Kai, who had just parked the car, approached them and asked, “What are you two discussing?”
After glancing at Fu Nian, who remained silent, Song Fan responded, “It was nothing. Just pondering how many idiots there are these days.”
Fu Nian was left dumbfounded, wanting to argue but unable to respond before
Song Fan turned and said, “Let’s go in quickly.”
Song Kai, still willing to be attentive to Song Fan, offered to hold her bag but was declined. His behavior sharply contrasted with his attitude toward Song Fan.
Fu Nian was perplexed and wondered if something had occurred within the
Song Family that he wasn’t aware of.
Song Fan brought Song Kai to the entrance, but before they could reach the butler, Song Yin intercepted them. “Sister, you’ve come with Fourth Brother, but he doesn’t have an invitation card. How do you plan to enter? This is the Gu Family’s banquet, and your status as the eldest daughter might not suffice.”
Initially, Song Yin had harbored concerns that Song Fan might have connections to secure an invitation, but upon seeing that only Song Kai accompanied her, she felt relieved. It seemed that Song Fan’s approach lacked cunning; she simply intended to enter without a proper invitation.
Song Fan gazed at Song Yin and offered a straightforward suggestion, “I advise you to step aside.”
Song Yin, appearing to express concern, responded, “How could Sister not understand my intentions? I’m only doing this for your own good.” Her eyes moistened.
Fu Nian rose to Song Yin’s defense, reproaching Song Fan, “I didn’t expect you to still bully your sister after all these years. Yinyin was helping you. Show some compassion.”
With her patience waning, Song Fan retorted, “Only a fool like you would interpret her actions as kindness. You must have shielded yourself from it when God bestows wisdom upon the world..”
