Meng Xia was at a loss when he asked, blushing, she could only shake her head, “No, my surname is Meng.”
Charlie had already put on a gentleman’s smile, “But it was just announced that you are the adopted daughter of the Song family, isn’t it?”
Upon seeing Meng Xia somewhat embarrassed, he quickly explained, “I’m sorry, I don’t understand some of the traditions in your country. But in my country, an adopted daughter is treated the same as a biological child, changes the surname, and is also a member of the family with inheritance rights.”
Upon hearing the words “inheritance rights,” Meng Xia’s pupils dilated. She had never thought it could be like this; she thought she was just a nominal adopted daughter.
Charlie continued, “I apologize if I said something wrong again. I’m not very good at Mandarin since I just arrived here.”
“No, you did fine,” Meng Xia’s mood instantly improved, and a bright smile appeared on her face. “I am Meng Xia, just revealed as the adopted daughter of the Song family. And you?”
She was well aware that everyone at this banquet was a top figure. She had just seen Gu Hai bring him over, indicating that he was a significant foreigner with status. Her expression became even more respectful.
“My name is Charlie. I’m from Brown Group,” Charlie also didn’t conceal his identity. With this status, it would be much more convenient for him to do things in A City.
Meng Xia smiled and said, “Nice to meet you.” Meng Xia had no idea who he was.
On the other hand, Meng Yu was startled. After having been with Song Yi for many years, she had naturally heard of the Brown Group. Upon seeing that Charlie looked quite young and seemed to have a good impression of Meng Xia, she quickly stepped forward and said, “Hello, are you the person in charge of Brown Group?”
Upon seeing Charlie look at her, Meng Yu quickly tidied her hair. “Hello, I am
Meng Xia’s godmother, and also…”
“Mrs. Song, I know,” Charlie politely extended his hand and shook hands with her. “The influence of the Song family in A City is significant. I naturally know Mrs. Song, the only lady of the house.”
The term “lady of the house” made Meng Yu feel relieved. Although many people also called her Mrs. Song, Song Yi was indifferent to her outside. In the circle of wives, she had always been a stepmother whispering behind her back. Now that someone recognized her in this way, she felt a glimmer of pride.
Charlie knew how to win a woman’s favor, especially with the background of his identity. He naturally said, “Allow me to introduce myself formally. I am Charlie Brown, the president of the Brown Group subsidiary.”
“The Brown?” Even Meng Xia, who wasn’t very familiar with upper-class society, knew that he had a significant background upon hearing his surname. The Brown Group belonged to the Brown family, and with the same last name, wasn’t he a member of that family?
Charlie nodded. “I should be the foolish son of the family that people in your country talk about? I am the youngest son of the Brown family.”
Even Meng Yu was taken aback. She knew about the power of the Brown family.
The Brown Group was involved in several international collaborations with the Song family, and now, seeing Charlie, the youngest son of the Brown family, her shock was almost suffocating.
She quickly pulled Meng Xia and then said in a flattering tone, “So you’re the young master of the Brown family. My apologies, my goddaughter, Meng Xia, you should have met, right?”
Meng Yu was well aware of this person’s influence. If the Brown Group developed in A City, it would be a huge opportunity. If anyone could get close to the Brown family…
She glanced at the cold and aloof Gu Chen standing nearby. If Meng Xia had any connection with Charlie, it would be much better than competing with Song Fan for Gu Chen.
Charlie pretended not to understand why she introduced Meng Xia again, still smiling. “I know, Miss Meng and I have already met. I just arrived here, and I’m not familiar with the various families in A City. I almost bumped into Miss Meng; I’m sorry.”
“You’re too polite, Xiao Xia didn’t mind. Don’t keep calling her Miss Meng, just call her Xiao Xia.” She held Meng Xia’s hand and applied a bit of force, conveying her intentions. Meng Xia immediately understood.
Meng Xia greeted with a smiling face and nodded, “Can I call you Charlie? I’m not very familiar with A City either. I was planning to explore it for a few days.”
Meng Xia’s voice was soft, and her eyes were filled with affectionate glances. Charlie understood her intentions, especially since she was the younger sister of Miss Song.. So, without hesitation, he said, “I wonder if I could join you for the exploration?”
