“Great, that’s wonderful!” Meng Yu eagerly agreed, “Ever since Xia saved Song Kai, her health hasn’t been great. I was really worried she might get sick from all the stress at the hospital.”
Charlie also played along, looking surprised as he asked, “Oh my, Xiao Xia, such a delicate girl, risking everything to save someone?”
Of course, Meng Yu seized this excellent opportunity, embellishing the incident from that day and adding many details, with Meng Xia chiming in with additional information.
Upon listening to their exaggerated storytelling, Charlie almost burst into laughter, treating it as a joke. Fortunately, Gu Hai approached, putting an end to this entertainment.
Gu Hai glanced at Meng Yu, then smiled at Charlie, “Charlie, there’s an excellent white wine at the banquet today. It’s from my collection. Would you like to taste it?”
Without giving Meng Yu a second glance, he continued, “Charlie, today’s my treat. Let’s go to the VIP lounge for some quality wine. It might not be suitable for others to join.”
Charlie originally wanted to observe the on-site security measures. He became more interested in the Gu family after hearing about Gu Chen’s preparations for the last attack. Now, with Meng Xia as a pawn, he was more than happy to join.
Before Meng Yu could explode, he said, “Miss Meng has invited me to explore A
City together. She’ll be my companion today. Mr. Gu shouldn’t mind, right?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Hai quickly responded, “Of course not. Since you’re a friend, you’re a distinguished guest of the Gu family.”
Reluctantly, he led the two to the VIP room, accompanied by Gu Chen and Song Fan, as well as Gu Zhuo, who had been clinging to Song Fan.
“Sister, why haven’t you been to school for so long? I miss you,” Gu Zhuo took advantage of Gu Chen talking to another executive and quickly ran to Song Fan’s side, sounding a bit pitiful. “You don’t know how my dad bothers me every day. I’m almost annoyed to death.”
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind him, “Then die.”
Gu Chen stood between the two, holding Song Fan’s hand, and walked away briskly.
Gu Zhuo looked at him with a frightened expression. Indeed, his cousin’s possessiveness was too strong, making it difficult for him to get close to Song
Fan.
Meanwhile, Charlie had Meng Xia on his arm, smiling and chatting with people nearby, observing the situation.
Upon seeing Gu Chen’s actions, his smile deepened. He casually asked, “Xiao Xia, your sister, and Mr. Gu seem to have a good relationship. Are they engaged?”
“No! Not!” Meng Xia replied without hesitation. Although Charlie seemed nice, she still had thoughts about Gu Zhen. “They are just good friends. There’s business cooperation between the Song family and the Gu family. Their relationship is just slightly better than average.”
Charlie glanced at her meaningfully. He hadn’t expected that a woman who had just become an adopted daughter would also covet Gu Chen. However, this was even better for his plans.
He nodded slightly, as if he had casually asked, and generously introduced Meng Xia to the people around him, “This is Miss Song, Meng Xia, my companion for today.”
Charlie’s identity had already attracted a lot of attention at the banquet. Now that most people knew that the youngest son of the Brown family was attending, speculation abounded. Many believed that the Brown family was entering the domestic market, and many wanted to curry favor. When Charlie states that Meng Xia is his companion, the compliments begin.
“Miss Meng is beautiful and kind-hearted. It’s Song’s fortune to have such a daughter.”
“Exactly. If it weren’t for Miss Meng, how could Song Kai, that little tyrant, still be attending the banquet? Maybe…”
“Song’s family is also fortunate. Miss Meng is so gentle and tender, completely different from Miss Song’s fiery temperament.”
“I also think Miss Meng has more temperament.. She looks more like the Song family’s biological daughter!”
