Chapter 282: Goddaughter

Meng Yu nodded in satisfaction and then took out a card, saying, “Here’s fifty thousand dollars from your uncle. Stay in the hospital a bit longer. I’ve already talked to the doctors, and when the time comes, they will emphasize the severity of your condition. Find a suitable moment, and I’ll talk to your uncle about wanting to formally adopt you as our goddaughter.”
Song Yi, of course, wasn’t stingy. After all, it was to thank Meng Xia for saving Song Kai from injury. He had prepared a gratitude fee of five hundred thousand dollars. However, Meng Yu believed that all of this was due to her efforts, and naturally, she couldn’t give all the money to Meng Xia.
Upon holding the card, Meng Xia chuckled inwardly. Just a while ago, Song Kai claimed he had plenty of money and wanted to buy high-end dresses for Song Fan. Now, with my serious injury, the Song family only gave me fifty thousand dollars. Are they treating me like a beggar?
Nevertheless, she maintained a smile on her face, accepted the card, and sincerely said, “Thank you, Aunt. If you weren’t important in Uncle’s heart, he wouldn’t have given me the money.”
Her words were well-crafted, and Meng Yu was pleased. Casually, she glanced at the invitation letter on the table, and upon reading its contents, she was even more surprised.
“This was brought to my ward by Gu Chen today.” she intended to say it was for Song Fan, but the words stopped at her lips.
Gu Chen knows which ward she is in. What if he has genuinely come to see her? After all, she is quite well-known for her beauty in S City, and many young masters liked her.
Meng Yu couldn’t believe that Gu Chen wasn’t interested in her. It was just a matter of her less privileged background; otherwise, she might be even more popular than Song Fan.
Upon hearing her words, Meng Yu didn’t doubt. She knew her niece’s capabilities, especially in winning people’s hearts, surpassing many girls her age.
Meng Yu, holding the invitation, said with joy, “To be so concerned after just one meeting, I underestimated you. You should leave the hospital in a few days. The Gu family’s banquet is a gathering of elites. This is an opportunity.”
Even though it was just a celebration for the Gu family’s branch company, it was still a rare opportunity. Moreover, with Gu Chen now in A City, many people would want to get on his good side. Some might even shamelessly seek an invitation.
However, Meng Yu completely overlooked that the invitation specified the Song family members, excluding Meng Xia. She thought that since Gu Chen had brought it to the ward, it must be for Meng Xia.
At that moment, all her thoughts were focused on her plan. If Meng Xia could marry Gu Chen, she might eventually gain control of the Gu family.
Upon looking at the invitation in her hand, Meng Yu became more and more excited. Her rising lips couldn’t be controlled, “Xiao Xia, this is a rare opportunity. I will make sure to prepare you well. Rest for a few days; Aunt will get you the most beautiful dress. You must shine brightly that day! ”
Meng Xia didn’t clarify for whom the invitation was intended. Even if people said she was taking advantage of the Song family’s influence to attend the banquet, it didn’t matter. This was her first step into high society.
In the past, every time she came to the Song family, she only stayed for about ten minutes. Meng Yu didn’t pay any attention to these poor relatives and even considered her and her parents a burden.
Unexpectedly, she now had the chance to enter the Song family and even had the opportunity to enter high society. Meng Xia lowered her eyes, knowing her opportunity had come.
After hearing that Song Fan would attend the banquet again, Kevin was ecstatic. “This time, I’ve prepared the latest version of the dress for you. Oh my God, I can’t even imagine how beautiful you’ll look in it!”
When Song Fan received the call, she was almost deafened. She wearily said, “Isn’t your brand’s fashion show about to start? Do you have time to design a dress for me? I don’t necessarily have to wear a dress.”
“You must wear it! Why wouldn’t you wear clothes?” Kevin urgently shouted on the other end. As an internationally renowned designer, he had spent so much time designing the dress. If Song Fan dared not to wear it, he would fly back to the country right now.
Upon rolling her eyes inwardly, Song Fan said, “I won’t wear anything. Am I supposed to run around naked? I’m just concerned about your busy schedule. If you have something suitable, send it over. Focus on preparing for your big show. Isn’t your new collection going to be released this year?”
“Humph, consider yourself having a conscience,” Kevin smugly said, “The fashion show is crucial. This time, the theme is ‘Women’s Autonomy.’ I’ve designed the dress based on your temperament and style. I’ve already designed your dress; I’ll have someone bring it back from M Country in the next few days..”
