Chapter 110: Unexpected Guest

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon seeing that it was Gu Chen, Song Fan glanced at Gu Zhuo with confusion. Gu Zhuo quickly explained, “I don’t know why he’s here either, but my dad would never invite him.”

These words held true. The relationship between Gu Hai and Gu Chen was akin to fire and water; they couldn’t even maintain a semblance of civility. Inviting Gu Chen to a private banquet would be self-sabotage.

Song Fan had no desire to find out Gu Chen’s purpose for being there either. She remained seated on the sofa. Nonchalantly, she asked Gu Zhuo, “Don’t you have any desserts at home?”

Gu Zhuo promptly summoned a servant to fetch a slice of cake for her before heading over to greet Gu Chen.

After all, they were cousins, and it would be unnatural not to acknowledge their presence.

“Cousin, it’s quite a surprise to see you here,” Gu Zhuo greeted with a warm smile. “It’s a shame my father has some urgent matters to attend to and had to leave early. Otherwise, our families could have enjoyed a chat together.”

Gu Zhuo, having lived away from home for many years, could deliver such words with ease. Those unfamiliar with their family dynamics might genuinely believe the Gu family was a harmonious and friendly bunch.

Meanwhile, Song Yin was lost in a trance. Her gaze remained fixed on Gu Chen since his arrival.

Gu Chen’s appearance outshone the other young men present, exuding an air of authority that was incredibly alluring.

Song Yin, who had always aspired to have the very best, suddenly felt that both Fu Nian and Gu Zhuo were mediocre. Her previous shortsightedness had caused her to underestimate them.

After all, those rich second-generation heirs had to adhere to their parents’ will no matter how affluent they were. In contrast, someone like Gu Chen, whose parents weren’t around, could potentially enjoy unprecedented freedom upon marrying into the family. She wouldn’t be weighed down by domineering in-laws and could spend as extravagantly as she pleased.

Song Fan, locking eyes with Song Yin, discerned her thoughts. She knew that Song Yin harbored self-interest above all else. If a better suitor came along, she’d swiftly discard Fu Nian and Gu Zhuo. What she hadn’t anticipated was Song Yin’s interest in Gu Chen.

Song Fan doubted Song Yin’s ability to deceive Gu Chen. After all, he was a crafty old fox.

Song Yin approached Gu Zhuo and remarked, “Brother Gu Zhuo, since you’re all relatives, I’ll address him as ‘brother’ too.”

She then lowered her head with a shy, lovestruck demeanor.

However, Gu Chen had no interest in entertaining her advances. He stated bluntly, “There’s no need to address me as ‘brother.’ I’m my mother’s only child. ”

Song Yin’s expression froze. She hadn’t expected Gu Chen to address her so mercilessly; he was far from a gentleman.

Gu Chen walked directly to Song Fan, who was still enjoying her cake. He took a seat beside her and inquired, “Miss Song, what have you said at this banquet?”

Song Fan nearly choked on his words, astonished at how quickly Gu Chen had found out.

Gu Chen reached for a glass of water on the table and handed it to her. “My Second Uncle went straight to the hospital to find Director Zhang after leaving here. Their argument could be heard throughout the entire floor. You must have played a role in this.”

Song Fan was somewhat impressed by Gu Chen’s words. If he were her adversary, he would be a formidable opponent.

She accepted the glass of water and replied, “If they insist on causing trouble for me, don’t blame me for making things more complicated. I suspect your Second Uncle won’t have the time to bother me for a while.’

“Miss Song, if you’re not interested in teaching, you should let me know,” Gu Chen stated.

Song Fan looked at him with bewilderment. “Why should I inform you?”

“I’m willing to offer a high salary to secure a talent like Miss Song. With your support, my Second Uncle would have nothing to worry about,” Gu Chen added with a half-joking tone.

Song Fan didn’t feel particularly flattered. She had multiple companies operating under her name, and it wasn’t necessarily easier than managing the Gu Corporation.

To outsiders, the two of them appeared to be flirting, while Song Yin cursed Song Fan countless times in her heart as she observed Gu Chen passing a glass of water to Song Fan.

Why did Song Fan always snatch whatever she fancied? How could Gu Chen fall in love with someone like her?

Song Yin pondered all of Song Fan’s flaws; she remembered her irritability and the incident involving her brother. However, she conveniently forgot that she had drugged Song Fan.

Fu Nian sighed and requested, “Gu Zhuo, may I borrow your piano for a moment?”

Gu Zhuo readily agreed. Fu Nian glanced deeply at Song Fan before taking a seat at the piano with his fingers poised.

A series of beautiful notes flowed effortlessly from his fingertips, prompting Song Fan to exclaim, “He truly is a piano prodigy. At such a young age, he can convey such complex emotions through his music..”
