She was well aware of how much the Song Family’s four brothers valued Song Fan. On that day, she deliberately didn’t want the two of them to be alone, so her words hit the mark. Song Kai also found it reasonable and remarked, “If you have something to say, come in and talk. Why are you sneaking around?
Hurry up and come in. The wind is strong. Don’t bring the cold wind in!” Helplessly, Song Fan pursed her lips and signaled with her eyes for Gu Chen to enter.
Gu Chen nonchalantly said, “Nothing much. The Gu family is hosting a celebration party in A City on Sunday, and we’ve invited the Song Family.” He produced an invitation letter from his bag.
Song Fan opened the letter, discovering that the Gu Corporation’s A City branch had completed the Central Building project, prompting the celebration.
While the branch could handle such matters on its own, Song Fan sensed that Gu Chen was getting involved, possibly investigating the cruise ship incident from within the company.
Casually placing the invitation on the table, she assured me, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely attend.”
They exchanged glances, understanding each other’s unspoken thoughts.
Song Fan had a clear realization. If they didn’t uncover the mastermind, Gu Chen would remain in danger. Moreover, the poison in his body still needed a cure.
She had intended to ask Gu Chen about his recent activities, but Meng Xia spoke first, expressing her gratitude, “I’m sorry to trouble you, Young Master Gu. You even had to personally deliver the invitation.”
Gu Chen, unaware of the person in the bed, especially with his subordinates reporting the person’s surname as Meng, hadn’t wanted to engage in conversation. However, Meng Xia surprised him by speaking up.
Song Fan observed Meng Xia’s interest in Gu Chen and understood why. With his looks and being the heir of the Gu Family, how could any woman not be tempted?
Gu Chen acknowledged Meng Xia politely but didn’t inquire about her identity.
“I’m sorry,” Meng Xia reluctantly apologized, “I didn’t introduce myself after meeting you twice. I am Meng Xia, the sister of Song Kai and Song Fan.”
Her words were quite cleverly phrased. Those who were familiar with the Song family’s situation knew that the new Mrs. Song’s surname was Meng. By introducing herself in this way, she had indeed elevated her status.
Song Fan, intrigued by the situation, teased Gu Chen with a glance and mouthed “Homme Fatale.”
Gu Chen smiled politely and distantly greeted, “Hello.”
Then, addressing Song Fan, he added, “Remember the celebration party this weekend. I’ve prepared a dress for you.”
Song Kai interjected, expressing his displeasure, “Do you think our family can’t afford the dress? I’ll buy my little sister’s dress. I have plenty of money. You don’t have to buy it. We still have patients here, so we won’t be sending you off! ”
Gu Chen, acknowledging the situation, left.
Meng Xia, wanting to say more, opted to keep smiling to avoid complicating things for Song Fan.
As Meng Xia’s condition stabilized, Song Kai and Song Yu left the ward under her persuasion.
Soon after, an angry Meng Yu arrived, complaining about Song Yi’s neglect of their marital relationship and assigning her work to someone else.
Not long after, Meng Yu arrived at the ward, expressing her anger, “Song Yi completely disregards the bonds of marriage. He handed over all the work in my hands to someone else!”
She had hoped that Song Yi’s attitude toward her had changed that day, and she might even be able to return to work at the company. However, Song Yi didn’t say anything in the end, just instructing her to hand over the work she held.
It was worth noting that she had several projects in her hands, and they consistently yielded dividends. This sudden change jeopardized her financial path. Fortunately, she had prepared in advance and managed her finances well, avoiding exposure.
Upon seeing her furious expression, Meng Xia softly comforted her, “Aunt, don’t worry. Uncle has been with you for so many years. He’s just lost his mind for a moment. He’ll still have to rely on you in the future. Besides, you still have me.”
Only then did Meng Yu lift her head to look at her small face, beautiful with a hint of vulnerability— a type that all men liked. “Xiao Xia, are you alright? Didn’t I tell you to just roll down from the first floor? It’s so dangerous for you to do this. I’m worried sick.”
Meng Xia lowered her head, concealing the disdain in her eyes. Since when did aunt worry about others? She only had her interests in her eyes.
However, when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with gratitude. “Aunt, I’m fine.. If not for this, how could I have made them believe me? How can we continue with your plan?”
