Chapter 287: Miss Song
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What are you talking about?” Song Kai looked at Meng Yu in confusion. He thought this woman might be crazy. With Gu Chen here, who would dare to bully Song Fan? Wouldn’t that be seeking trouble?
Meng Yu choked up a bit, “Xiao Xia is being bullied. Come and help your sister.”
Somewhat dazed, Song Kai was pulled over by her, and Meng Xia obediently called, “Fourth Brother.”
Upon hearing this address, Song Kai frowned, but in front of so many people, he didn’t say much, just asked, “What happened?”
Everyone around thought Meng Xia would take this opportunity to shed tears and have Song Kai stand up for her, just like Song Fan used to do. However, Meng Xia shook her head, “It’s nothing. It was just a misunderstanding, and now it’s cleared up.”
Meng Yu couldn’t believe it. “Xiao Xia, you are so easy-going. These people were criticizing you just now, and you don’t even hold it against them?”
She turned to Song Kai and said, “Xiao Xia said that day it was Young Master
Gu who delivered the invitation to her ward. Right?”
Gu Chen had been silent the whole time, and Meng Yu sensed that something might be wrong. After all, she had been Mrs. Song for many years and could figure some things out. However, thinking that Meng Xia might indeed have misunderstood, she decided to let everyone continue with the misconception.
Song Kai didn’t catch anything unusual in her question and nodded, “Yeah, what’s wrong?”
Meng Yu felt triumphant, and her expression softened, “Nothing. Some people thought Xiao Xia didn’t have an invitation. Hmph, the truth is out now. Let’s see who will dare to talk nonsense.”
Upon listening to their conversation, Song Fan almost burst into laughter. This stepmother of hers was indeed shameless. Meng Xia had only met Gu Chen two or three times, and she already had a plan to link them together.
However, Gu Chen’s face had turned cold. He briefly held Song Fan’s hand and then said, “Yes, it was the day when you visited her at the hospital. I delivered the invitation to you that day.”
He didn’t deliberately lower his voice, and everyone nearby could hear clearly. Just as they were starting to change their perception of Meng Xia, it shifted back to disdain.
Xu Xin, with a meaningful look at Meng Yu and Meng Xia, thought that her first banquet after returning to China was indeed an eye-opener. Who would have thought things could be handled like this?
Song Kai was still clueless about the whole situation and echoed, “Isn’t it because you keep pestering my little sister? We went to visit Xiao Xia and you insisted on giving my little sister an invitation. Oh, by the way, where is the invitation? We didn’t use one to come in just now, did we?”
Song Fan was now the future Mrs. Gu, and with Gu Chen’s instructions, the staff at the door were waiting for her. She didn’t need an invitation card.
With this statement, along with Gu Chen’s previous words, people in the vicinity pieced together the relationships.
“So, it was an invitation for Miss Song. She even claimed that Young Master Gu personally delivered it to her ward. Shameless.”
“Is this how the Meng family operates? I heard that Mrs. Song used to pursue
Mr. Song persistently for a long time. Tut, she’s not repeating her old tricks, is
“I sympathized with her just now, but she’s truly disgusting. She came in with someone else’s invitation and is still acting so self-righteous?”
Even though Meng Xia had good psychological resilience, at this moment, tears were starting to well up. She thought that even if Gu Chen didn’t like her, he would at least uphold her dignity in such a situation.
However, Gu Chen seemed indifferent to her face, not to mention that Song Kai completely failed to understand the hidden conflicts.
Meng Yu was anxious. She wanted Meng Xia to become the focus, paving the way for her ascension. How did things turn out like this?
She pulled Song Kai and said, “Xiao Xia almost died saving you. Is this how you treat your sister? Watching others slander her?”
Song Kai, still not understanding what he had said wrong, said in confusion, “I just spoke the truth. What’s wrong?”
“Xiao Xia saved you!” Meng Yu felt a little desperate. Seeing that her plan might fail, she shouted at Song Fan, “Xiao Xia risked her life to save your brother, and this is how you let others criticize her?”
On the sidelines, Song Fan was just enjoying the spectacle, showing no intention to intervene, while Song Kai remained completely puzzled about the situation.
When Song Yi walked over, Meng Yu almost saw a savior. Upon thinking it might be better to make the most of it, she loudly proclaimed, “Meng Xia is not like what you all said. She risked her life to save Song Kai, almost suffering a concussion and losing consciousness. So, our Song family has decided to adopt her as a daughter.. She is a genuine Miss Song!”
