Qi Shuo had previously worked as a public interest lawyer, and during that time, he had been involved in a lawsuit for a patient, which had brought him into contact with Song Ting. As the group gathered, the two of them introduced their companions to one another.
However, Song Huai keenly sensed that something was amiss. These people had rushed to the scene at the last minute. Moreover, upon arrival, their focus was squarely on the brothers, as though they had foreknowledge of their presence.
Even though they were there to greet his little sister, their full attention was on them. One person in particular had never once shifted his gaze away.
As a detective, Song Huai trusted his instincts. It was evident that these four people had been summoned by Gu Chen.
Song Huai couldn’t allow Gu Chen to succeed. Upon stepping forward, he said with a smile, “Don’t just stand there. Let’s head inside quickly.”
After issuing the invitation, he took Song Fan’s hand and led her inside, with the others following suit.
The villa was equipped with an elevator, and, as it ascended, Gu Chen stood by the door, smiling as he greeted them. “I’ve been waiting for you for quite some time.”
This statement was unmistakably directed at Song Fan. Song Huai positioned himself in front of Gu Chen and asked, “Mr. Gu, I understand that the composition of the medication has been tested. Why don’t you share the results “Tith
Gu Chen had studied the Song Family members previously and recognized
Song Huai as Song Fan’s third brother, who had been working overseas as a detective to aid in the investigation. He hadn’t anticipated his return at this time.
“The results are currently in the laboratory. Follow me,” Gu Chen replied.
Song Ting and Song Chuan comprehended Song Huai’s intentions and silently positioned themselves beside Song Fan. Song Kai didn’t fully understand but was aware that he should follow his brothers. The four Song brothers surrounded Song Fan, leaving no gaps.
Upon witnessing this behavior that seemed like guarding against a thief, Xu Yuan’s face contorted. He whispered to Qi Shuo, “Are they determined to keep
Song Fan and Gu Chen from interacting? Is Gu Chen so unpopular?”
Xu Yuan was genuinely perplexed about why the head of the Gu Family, Gu Chen, seemed like a monster in the eyes of the Song brothers. Gu Chen was the head of the Gu Family and held significant power. In terms of wealth, he was one of the wealthiest individuals. Many people were vying for his affections.
“In brother’s eyes, anyone who wants to date his sister is a monster,” Qi Shuo explained.
This was the first time Xu Yuan had heard of such a sentiment, but he remained committed to his plan. Gu Chen had been single for many years, and he had finally found someone he liked. Regardless, he was determined to assist him in winning her over.
The laboratory was situated on the villa’s top floor, featuring some of the most advanced equipment in Hua Country. Gu Chen had expended significant resources to acquire this equipment. Originally located at the Gu Family’s former residence, he had it transported here to assist Song Fan.
Su Yang was initially taken aback by the order. He believed that the location of the testing was inconsequential. Nevertheless, he was powerless to counter his young master’s determination.
Xia Rui eventually unraveled Gu Chen’s motives. He wanted to meet Song Fan again, so he transported all his equipment here. Additionally, it offered a pretext to invite her. Otherwise, there would be no need for a meeting solely to deliver the test results.
Once Song Fan entered the laboratory, she became wholly absorbed in the surroundings. She wished she could fix her gaze on all the instruments. In her previous life, she had spent considerable time in a laboratory but had left her research incomplete when she passed away.
Furthermore, her research subject wasn’t particularly promising, which meant much of her equipment was subpar in comparison to Gu Chen’s. If she had had access to these resources earlier, her research might have been completed long ago.
Song Fan’s eyes sparkled with newfound enthusiasm. Gu Chen had certainly observed her transformation and had arranged for a superior laboratory, fully expecting her to be pleased.
Song Fan inquired, “Why did you buy all these instruments?”
“I pursued a chemistry master’s degree overseas, which is why I brought these things back,” Gu Chen explained with a smile. “I see that you’re equally fascinated.’
“If I could, I’d want to stay in the laboratory and never leave,” Song Fan replied excitedly.
The two of them continued their conversation, and no one dared to interrupt. Song Huai, recognizing that his little sister was content, chose to remain silent, though he mentally cursed Gu Chen innumerable times.
Song Ting also appeared uncomfortable, as he believed it was too early for Song Fan, who was just nineteen, to be involved in a romantic relationship, even if she was a teacher.
Song Chuan, on the other hand, was watching Song Fan’s expression. He wanted to know Song Fan’s attitude toward Gu Chen. If Song Fan genuinely liked him, he would no longer obstruct their relationship. His little sister had endured so much hardship for years; all her wishes should be fulfilled.
In contrast to his three elder brothers, Song Kai was exceedingly open-hearted and engaged Xu Yuan in a conversation about in-game matters..
