Gu Zhuo hurriedly called for someone to play music, aiming to restore the ball to its elegant atmosphere. He then instructed a waiter to serve drinks, hoping everyone would forget about the altercation just now as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, the experienced attendees swiftly immersed themselves in the music.

Upon observing the guests relaxing, Song Yin turned to Gu Zhuo with anticipation. “Brother Gu Zhuo, shall we dance together?”

Gu Zhuo quickly replied, “I sprained my ankle two days ago. I’m afraid I can’t dance anymore.”

Song Yin noticed that he didn’t seem to have an injured ankle when he walked earlier. It was evident that he simply didn’t want to dance with her. However, Song Yin wasn’t easily discouraged. She recalled that even Fu Nian had been colder initially. She believed that with persistence, she could win Gu Zhuo over.

She approached Gu Zhuo and said, “Brother Gu Zhuo, please dance with me. Otherwise, Uncle Gu will be disappointed if we don’t dance the night away.”

Gu Zhuo glanced at Song Fan, seeking help. Eventually, Song Fan nodded and smiled. “Since she insists, you should go.”

Gu Zhuo hadn’t expected Song Fan to abandon him at this crucial moment, so he reluctantly accepted and led Song Yin to the dance floor.

Song Fan’s decision wasn’t a refusal to help Gu Zhuo; it was more about the reasonableness of Song Yin’s request. If Gu Zhuo avoided Song Yin all night, it would likely affect his living expenses.

His living expenses were of little concern, but the real issue would arise if he didn’t give her the racing car.

Moreover, with Fu Nian present, Song Fan wanted to witness who Song Yin would ultimately choose between the two affluent suitors. After all, these two were her top choices among the wealthy bachelors. Song Fan consented to Gu Zhuo’s involvement as she anticipated witnessing Song Yin potentially making a fool of herself.

Song Yin achieved her goal and stepped onto the dance floor with a radiant smile. As she danced with Gu Zhuo, they immediately captured the attention of numerous attendees.

Song Yin relished the sensation of being the center of attention. She envisioned a life of opulence and luxury if she were to marry Gu Zhuo, one that others would envy.

At that moment, Fu Nian approached Song Fan and said, “I’d like to discuss something with you.”

Song Fan was in a good mood when he thought about the motorcycle she was about to get. She asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Grandfather has been talking about you recently. He said that you are the best chess player he has ever met. I want to have one game with you,” Fu Nian said awkwardly.

Song Fan declined, saying, “Forget it. I’m not in the mood to play recently.”

Fu Nian didn’t expect Song Fan to turn him down, given that his chess skills were considered among the best. Nevertheless, he responded with, “Alright then.”

Song Yin, who was dancing with Gu Zhuo, witnessed this exchange. She didn’t know why Fu Nian wanted to talk to Song Fan, but jealousy instantly overwhelmed her.

Even if she had decided to give up on Fu Nian, she couldn’t bear the thought of him being with Song Fan.

Gu Zhuo noticed that Song Yin seemed distracted while dancing with him, constantly looking elsewhere. Following her gaze, he saw someone engaged in a conversation with Song Fan.

When the song ended, Song Yin happened to see Fu Nian glancing at her. She pulled Gu Zhuo closer and kissed him. Fortunately, Gu Zhuo reacted quickly and kissed her on the cheek.

Song Yin expected that Fu Nian would feel threatened, but to her surprise, his eyes showed only confusion, devoid of any jealousy. In an instant, Song Yin felt tears welling up.

Fu Nian didn’t believe there was anything wrong with dancing, but Gu Hail s intentions before the banquet were clear: he wanted to match Gu Zhuo and Song Yin.

Dancingg with Gu Zhuo at this time was to demonstrate her willingness. However, Fu Nian remembered that Song Yin had mentioned being conservative and not wanting excessive contact with men who weren’t relatives, which contradicted her actions.

Song Yin still had feelings for Fu Nian, given her years-long pursuit of him. However, today, she realized that all her efforts had been in vain.

She put on a facade of composure and approached Fu Nian. “Brother Fu Nian, it’s been a while since we last met.”

Fu Nian responded coldly, “I’ve been very busy lately and haven’t had much time for socializing with friends.”

He couldn’t help but feel that he didn’t truly know the real Song Yin, and he was upset about being deceived.

It was only then that Song Yin realized the impossibility of a future with Fu Nian. Her infatuation with him had been nothing more than wishful thinking from the start.

Satisfied that she had witnessed all the amusing scenarios she had hoped to see. Also, with the possible conflict between Gu Hai and Director Zhang, Song Fan felt that the latter wouldn’t have time to disrupt her godmother. She had already accomplished what she had set out to do at this banquet.

Song Fan was eagerly looking forward to receiving the motorcycle after the event concluded. At that moment, a car pulled up at the entrance, and Gu Chen stepped out with an air of nobility..
