After opening the door, a tall and handsome man came into view. Although his hair was a bit disheveled, and he wore a tired expression, his handsome facial features and noble demeanor made Meng Xia shiver involuntarily.
Her heart pounded irregularly, but the moment she saw Song Fan, she quickly averted her gaze and affectionately helped her open the door, saying, “Sister, you’re back, and we were all very worried about you. I’ve also made soup for you. It’s late, and you must be hungry, right?”
Meng Yu noticed that it was Gu Chen who brought Song Fan back, and she began to calculate in her mind. She initially wanted to approach and stage a scene of maternal love, but Song Fan’s brothers didn’t give her a chance at all.
“If I couldn’t contact you, I would have gone out to post missing person ads!” Song Kai strode over, using his body to separate Gu Chen.
Song Chuan also looked at Gu Chen unfriendly, then spoke gently to Song Fan,
“Little sister, as a girl, it’s not safe to be alone with outsiders so late.”
In his eyes, Gu Chen was an outsider. Moreover, he was someone with bad intentions toward his little sister!
Song Huai and Song Ting didn’t say anything, but both nodded in sync. They positioned themselves on either side of Gu Chen, leaving no gap for him to interact with Song Fan.
Upon seeing this situation, Song Fan knew their intentions. She smiled at Gu Chen and said, “Thank you, Mr. Gu, for bringing me back. It’s getting late; you should go back now.”
She playfully winked at him, making Gu Chen’s heart feel a bit itchy. However, seeing the vigilant big brothers beside him, he realized that his days might not be easy in the future.
After earnestly questioning Song Fan for a while, she had already prepared her explanation. She mentioned that Gu Chen’s assistant had helped her, and now, visiting due to Su Yang’s illness was a polite gesture. Not wanting any mishaps in the surgery, it had taken until now to finish. Her words left no loopholes, and the brothers couldn’t find fault with her.
Finally, Song Fan pleaded, “Everyone! I’m exhausted. It’s so late now. I’m sleepy, and I don’t want to be disturbed when I wake up…”
Upon waving her fists, she made a fierce expression, but it had no intimidating effect on her big brothers. Instead, they found her even more adorable.
Being surrounded, Song Fan returned to her room. Meanwhile, Meng Xia looked at her back with envy.
Meng Yu approached her and sarcastically said, “Indeed, blood ties are powerful. How dare a country bumpkin show off?”
From Song Fan entering to going upstairs, she didn’t say a word to Meng Yu, clearly not treating her as a senior in the Song family.
Surprisingly, even Song Yi silently accepted Song Fan’s behavior. After confirming that his daughter was fine, he returned to his room without saying a word.
However, there was no jealousy on Meng Xia’s face. Instead, she asked eagerly, “Aunt, who was the man who brought Sister back just now? Hasn’t she already terminated the engagement with the Fu family?”
Upon seeing her expression, Meng Yu raised her eyebrows, then held her hand and said with a smile, “You just arrived, and you’re not familiar with the family here. But the one who just brought her back isn’t from the prominent Fu family in A City; he’s from the Gu family in the capital.”
“The Gu family?” Meng Xia’s eyes widened in surprise. “Is it the Gu family in the capital that has business in various industries? One of the four major families in the capital?”
The four major families in the capital were widely known, even among ordinary people. Meng Xia’s heart couldn’t help but beat wildly. She already knew that the Song family in A City was the most prestigious, but she didn’t expect Song Fan to also have a connection with the Gu family.
Meng Yu knew what she was thinking. Although Meng Xia came from an ordinary background, she had always dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family. Now, seeing such a handsome and wealthy man like Gu Chen, who wouldn’t be tempted?
Meng Yu slowly led her upstairs, saying, “Xiao Xia, I know you best. If you can gain favor from the Gu family, then the Song family will be ours. With the Gu family as our backing, everything will be much easier.”
Upon listening to her words, although Meng Xia was excited, there was still a hint of difficulty on her face. “Aunt, you know my background. I’m not even comparable to Yin Yin. At least she has the status of a second miss in the Song family. I’m just your niece.”
She was well aware that noble families valued matching social status. With her identity, not to mention the Gu family, even the Fu family wouldn’t consider her.
Meng Yu naturally understood what Meng Xia was thinking.. Upon thinking of the already implicated Song Yin, she sneered, “Rest assured, with me around, your status won’t be low!”
