She quickly dried her hair, changed into fresh clothes, and intended to find Gu Chen. Perhaps only the Gu family could search for rare and exotic treasures.
As she reached the staircase, she spotted a blond man sitting on the living room sofa. Meng Yu and Meng Xia were both smiling.
“No wonder they say you two have fate. Xiao Xia just arrived in A city not long ago,” Meng Yu praised Meng Xia continuously. “She has excelled in her studies since childhood and has been groomed as the daughter of a prominent family.
She’s proficient in various arts and sciences.”
Meng Xia, blushing, looked at Charlie. “Why are you praising me so much, godmother? I’m not that good.”
Although she spoke with a modest tone, she seemed quite pleased. In S city, she had been a well-known talented woman, and the Meng family had invested a considerable amount in her upbringing. The hope was for her to become another Meng Yu.
As long as the daughters of the Meng family have good marriages, the Meng family will also become an upper-class family in the future. Therefore, not only did her parents spend a considerable amount of money to nurture her, but other elders did the same.
However, Charlie didn’t share the same opinion. Judging by her performance at the banquet yesterday, he could tell she lacked sophistication, and her adaptability was almost nonexistent. Not to mention, her appearance was not exceptional. It was foolish of her to dream of marrying into a wealthy and prestigious family.
Upon thinking about the information his subordinates had gathered about the Song family, he smiled and said, “Indeed, it’s clear that you care a lot for your goddaughter. That’s why Xiao Xia seems to treat you like her own mother.”
“Of course! She’s my niece. I’ve always adored the younger generation. I treat Xiao Xia as if she were my daughter,” Meng Yu proudly proclaimed.
“Yes, you’ve educated her well. Miss Song was genuinely stunning yesterday. And she even knows Kevin, the designer. In our country, he’s a very famous designer,” Charlie sincerely remarked. “Your approach to educating your daughter is commendable. Song Fan is outstanding, and so are her friends.”
His words were like a slap in the face for Meng Yu, but she couldn’t retort. In A city, people knew she was Song Fan’s stepmother, and Song Fan had grown up in the countryside. Nobody would speak this way.
However, Charlie, being a foreigner, was unaware of the city’s dynamics. Meng Yu couldn’t argue.
Meng Xia frowned. She didn’t want Charlie to have a good impression of Meng Yu. She quickly said, “My sister grew up in a rural area overseas. She only returned to the Song family recently. I used to visit my godmother frequently when I was young, but I never saw her. She doesn’t understand much about these banquet matters, so please forgive her for embarrassing herself yesterday.”
Her implication was clear: Song Fan was a country girl, pretending to be something she wasn’t. But Meng Xia, being a frequent visitor to the Song family, was the real deal.
However, her words infuriated Meng Yu. Wasn’t she indirectly saying that Song Fan had been mistreated by being sent away? The Song family’s biological daughter wasn’t even kept at home but instead, other relatives’ children were frequently welcomed.
Meng Xia seemed oblivious to the potential consequences. Believing she understood men, especially someone of Charlie’s status, she couldn’t fathom why he would choose a country bumpkin like Song Fan.
Charlie, puzzled, asked, “Mrs. Song sent her daughter to the countryside overseas? Is this a unique education method in your country? But it seems Mrs. Song has been strict in her upbringing, and Miss Song indeed possesses an air of elegance. Was sending her away to motivate her?”
Meng Yu’s face wore an embarrassed smile. Just as she was about to nod, Meng
Xia hastily interiected, “She was sent away because she poisoned her brother when she was little. So ruthless at such a young age…”
“Xiao Xia!” Meng Yu’s eyes almost bled. She thought the matter was over when Song Yin was taken away. She never expected Meng Xia, this idiot, to bring it up again.
Now Meng Xia realized her mistake, especially seeing Song Fan on the staircase, seemingly enjoying the spectacle. She felt a cold sweat down her back.
She knew Song Fan was a formidable character. Almost tricking Meng Yu into her scheme and driving Song Yin away so soon after returning…
“Speak of the devil! Miss Song is here.” Charlie said with joy. He had spotted Song Fan a long time ago and wanted to see how long she could endure the humiliation.
Unexpectedly, she silently listened to others defaming her, even smiling
