Meng Xia smiled sincerely and handed the wine glass that the waiter had just given her to Charlie. Song Fan glanced at Charlie before taking the glass.
“So, shall we toast to our reunion?” Charlie raised his glass, and others followed suit. Jason and Meng Xia kept their eyes fixed on Song Fan.
Feeling a bit uneasy under their gaze, Song Fan took a sip of the wine. Seeing her drink, Jason finally drank the entire glass confidently, while Meng Xia also smiled and drank more than half of her glass.
Suddenly, Song Fan sensed a strange smell around her, not the poison she had prepared. The faint scent of a knockout powder made her alert.
Pretending nonchalance, she casually took a sip from her glass to confirm that her drink was fine. She then looked up suspiciously.
“Sister, Mom asked me to come over for a moment. You guys continue chatting, okay?” Meng Xia seemed eager, obviously scheming something.
Song Fan nodded, but she still couldn’t figure out who had been drugged. Could it be that Charlie was worried about the ineffectiveness of her poison and added some knockout powder? That would be unnecessary. But with Jason around, she couldn’t ask directly.
Gu Chen finally managed to break away from the crowd and returned to Song
Fan’s side. He held her hand and asked, “Are you okay?”
Song Fan shook her head and pressed down on his palm. Gu Chen understood that the matter had been resolved, and he casually glanced at Jason. For some reason, Jason looked at him with indignation, like a child who had just had his toy snatched away.
Gu Chen generously extended his hand, “Hello, Mr. Brown. I am Gu Chen, the president of Gu Corporation.”
“Hello.” Jason only shook hands lightly, then said mockingly, “I heard you’ve been claiming to be Miss Song’s fiancé, but I’ve never heard Miss Song admit it, have I?”
Gu Chen didn’t expect him to say this but just raised his eyebrows. He then pulled Song Fan closer and said in a teasing manner, “Indeed, sometimes getting a title is quite difficult. It depends on when Miss Song is in a good mood to give me a status?”
He looked down with a teasing smile, while Song Fan pursed her lips, looking helpless.
However, these little actions between the two seemed like intimate evidence to Jason. He felt his blood boil, and his face turned red. Before he could say anything, he fell to the side. Charlie quickly supported him.
The three looked at each other, understanding what had happened. However, Song Fan still felt something was off, “It should take effect after half an hour. Why so fast?”
“Maybe because alcohol accelerates blood circulation?” Gu Chen stepped forward, helping Charlie support Jason’s body to prevent him from slipping.
But Charlie laughed and said, “Perhaps it’s because the two of you were too intimate just now, and it angered the singles, making his blood boil?”
Although Song Fan was speechless, she felt that both of them made sense. The effectiveness of the drug was indeed influenced by many factors. She could only say, “Let’s arrange him first.”
Charlie signaled his subordinates to come over and support Jason. Then, with people in tow, they left the venue. Many eyes followed them, and Charlie smiled and explained, “My brother can’t handle alcohol. Sorry, we need to take a break.”
Everyone nodded with smiles. Jason’s arrival did surprise them, but it seemed that this person was a bit strange, not interacting with others much. Only when he met Song Fan did he exchange a few words.
Many knew that Charlie supported Song Fan and thought it was just an expression of goodwill from an older brother to his younger brother’s crush.
On the other side, Meng Xia hurriedly ran to the restroom, where Zhao Li was waiting for her.
“Is everything done?” Meng Xia’s face was red, and her breath was a bit uneven. She felt her heart beating faster.
“Look at you, so incompetent. How will you take over Song Fan’s work in the future?” Zhao Li looked at her disdainfully. “Alright, my people said Jason has been taken to the rest area. This foreigner’s physical fitness isn’t good; the drug took effect so quickly?”
Meng Xia didn’t know if she was excited or thrilled. She felt a bit dizzy and quickly leaned against the restroom wall. She asked weakly, “Will this have any impact on the Song family?”
“Do you think Song Fan’s misdeeds will destroy the entire family?” Zhao Li patted her shoulder. “You go change your clothes first. Look at you, sweating so much. What are you worried about? I’ll handle everything.. Just wait and enjoy the show later!”
