Chapter 196: Wang Lu Was Sober
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Wang Lu had an unwavering personality from birth. Even if she caused monumental disasters, her family could always resolve them, so she didn’t care in the slightest about Song Fan’s background.
She lifted her dress and charged forward. Song Yin watched this eagerly, hoping Wang Lu would teach Song Fan a lesson. Even if she couldn’t beat Song Fan, she could still make a scene. At that point, everyone would learn what kind of person Song Fan was.
However, Song Yin’s hopes were immediately shattered. Song Fan effortlessly seized Wang Lu’s wrist and firmly pinned her to the sofa. She even placed an apple in her mouth to prevent her from shouting.
As a result, few people noticed what was transpiring here. Song Fan whispered in her ear, “Think about it carefully. I never knew you before, so why would I mention you? If you confront me, you’ll become a laughingstock. Who do you think wants to see that joke the most?”
Wang Lu was impulsive by nature. After being forced to calm down, she started to ponder. She despised Song Yin the most, yet she found herself believing Song Yin’s words.
Moreover, Song Fan was speaking right into her ear, and her warm breath sent shivers down her spine. Wang Lu couldn’t help but blush.
She discreetly raised her gaze to meet Song Fan’s. The dim lighting didn’t diminish her beauty; instead, it accentuated her allure with her expressionless face.
Song Fan said, “I’ll release you now. I hope you won’t attack me again.”
Wang Lu nodded, and Song Fan let go of her. Both of them sat on the sofa in silence for a while.
The girls who had been watching Wang Lu approach thought a big confrontation would ensue, but the current situation exceeded their expectations.
Song Yin wore a regretful expression. Things shouldn’t be unfolding this way.
Wang Lu’s demeanor transformed into a gentler one, and even her voice was softer than before. “Song Fan, so you didn’t say anything negative about me?”
“I didn’t even know your name before you pounced on me,” Song Fan replied.
Wang Lu pouted. “Well, I’ll tell you now. My name is Wang Lu. You’d better remember it.”
After saying this, she examined Song Fan with a newfound appreciation. She cherished beauty above all else in her life, whether it was in jewelry, clothing, or people.
Song Fan inquired, “So, tell me, what did Song Yin say to you earlier?”
Wang Lu recounted Song Yin’s words in detail, causing Song Fan to burst into laughter. “I never expected her to still indulge in such child’s play.”
“Was she like this when she was young?” Wang Lu asked curiously.
Song Fan didn’t wish to reveal anything about Song Yin. After all, seeing is believing, and no matter how many words were spoken, it couldn’t replace witnessing it firsthand.
However, Wang Lu seemed unperturbed about being left out and leaned in, saying, “Just tell me.”
At that moment, Song Ting returned after greeting others. Upon seeing Wang Lu about to snuggle into Song Fan’s embrace, he hastily inquired, “What are you guys discussing?”
Song Fan responded candidly, “Song Yin told Miss Wang that I was bad mouthing someone behind their back, and Miss Wang is here to exact revenge on me.”
Wang Lu shook her head. “I already know she lied to me. I won’t do anything to you.”
Song Ting furrowed his brow. “Did Yinyin do such a thing?”
Song Fan smiled and said, “You can choose not to believe me. Go ask Song Yin about the situation.”
Song Ting considered going, but when he met Song Fan’s gaze, his legs felt frozen. He had vowed to protect Song Fan, yet he was now doubting her words. This wasn’t what a good brother should do.
He sat beside Song Fan and commented, “Of course, I believe what you’ve said. But I also want to know why Yinyin did this.”
Wang Lu was initially delighted to see Song Ting, acknowledging his handsome appearance. However, upon hearing his words, she rolled her eyes. “Naturally, it’s so I can fight with Song Fan. This way, Song Fan will be embarrassed at the banquet, allowing Song Yin to maintain her elegance and flaunt her status as the Song Family’s young miss.”
Song Ting was taken aback by this revelation. He was a medical student who only knew how to treat patients and save lives. At most, he was aware of the deceit and schemes in the business world. He hadn’t expected that a banquet could lead to such a web of intrigue.
Upon observing his reaction, Wang Lu sneered. “Song Yin has caused trouble at banquets for years. Haven’t you ever suspected that it was her doing?”
Song Fan smiled faintly. “Song Yin has always portrayed herself as a victim, acting pitiful. No one would suspect her of these actions.”
