Song Yin didn’t dare to take the risk. The post she had shared online was embarrassing enough, revealing her ambiguous relationship with a small boss.
However, those chat records were merely flirtatious and not overly explicit. At that time, she sighed with relief and deleted all the messages.
If all the records were exposed, it would be disastrous for her.
Upon seeing that she remained silent, Song Fan promptly left. She hadn’t been full to begin with and didn’t have time to waste with her.
Wang Lu could tell that Song Fan was hungry, so she disregarded her elegant attire and held a plate. “Song Fan, this is delicious. You should have more. That small cake doesn’t taste good; it’s just for show.”
She busied herself picking out food for Song Fan while offering her culinary critiques. She seemed much less irritable than before.
Song Fan had a ‘Future City’ competition on her mind, so she began eating while sending messages in the chat group to check on everyone’s progress. Xu Yuan was practically glued to the internet, promptly responding with news of his advancement. The others reported that they had advanced as well, except Gu Chen, who hadn’t shared any updates.
However, Song Fan understood that given Gu Chen’s role as the chairman of the Gu Corporation, he wouldn’t have time to check his phone when he was occupied.
The group chatted about tomorrow’s match.
At this moment, Song Yin fixated on her phone nearby. She wished she could snatch it and destroy it immediately, convinced that if the phone were gone, the chat records would vanish too.
She understood, though, that it was unlikely. If Song Fan had the chat records, they certainly wouldn’t be stored on her phone. Nonetheless, her mind was preoccupied with the looming consequences of the records being leaked, making it hard for her to think rationally.
Determined to eliminate anything that threatened her, she believed that her phone would be just as potent as Song Fan’s.
Song Yin halted a servant carrying a tray and handed over a gemstone bracelet. “I need you to do something.”
The servant’s eyes widened when he saw the bracelet. After having been in the Fu Family for a while, he recognized Song Yin and knew that whatever she had in store was valuable. He understood that this could be his ticket to escaping life as a servant.
He looked at Song Yin and asked, “Miss Song, what do you want me to do?”
Song Yin produced a small bottle and emptied its contents into each wine cup. “Now, serve the wine to Song Fan.”
The servant hesitated and expressed his concern. “I can’t risk my life. I don’t want to go to jail.”
“No one will die,” Song Yin said with a hint of disdain in her gaze. “This will merely make her irritable.”
The servant was still reluctant to act. Despite his desire for money, he wasn’t willing to harm anyone.
Upon seeing him hesitating, Song Yin became anxious. She removed the bracelet from her other wrist and offered it to him. “Will this be enough?”
The servant quickly accepted the bracelets and set down the wine in front of Song Fan.
Song Fan was feeling parched after indulging in the delectable cuisine. She reached for the wine glass, seemingly ready to take a sip. Song Yin watched her movements with growing excitement.
Just as she was about to drink, Song Fan hesitated for a moment, as if sensing something was amiss. Song Yin felt as though she might stop breathing, afraid of being exposed.
Yet, Song Fan raised her wrist and consumed the wine, as if the prior pause had been an error on Song Yin’s part.
In reality, Song Fan had already detected the medicine in the wine. It was a familiar drug she had been given during her youth, causing her to become irritable.
She didn’t need to inspect the wine to know that Song Yin had orchestrated its delivery. She was content to let Song Yin believe her plan had succeeded. After all, everyone had their limits. Song Yin had provoked her time and time again, so she had to bear the consequences.
Song Yin then stood silently amid the crowd, waiting for the medicine to take effect, while Song Fan, for once, had some quiet time.
Just when Song Yin believed the medication had begun to work, a car came to a
halt outside the door.
Old Master Fu suddenly recalled that a distinguished guest had yet to arrive. He hurriedly went to welcome him. “Mr. Gu, it’s a pleasure to have you here.”
Only a select few could prompt Old Master Fu to address them as “Mr. Gu.” Everyone present immediately recognized who it was, and even Song Yin momentarily forgot about her plans for Song Fan as she gazed intently at the door.
Su Yang opened the car door, and Gu Chen stepped out of the vehicle. He was dressed in a simple suit that accentuated his air of nobility. When he looked up, he locked eyes with Song Fan..
