Charlie stared at her intently. He knew this woman was not simple, perhaps as formidable as Gu Chen. Indeed, she was not to be underestimated.
Upon seeing that everyone’s attention was on her, Song Fan didn’t want to linger. She straightforwardly said, “I didn’t poison anyone. Aunt Meng should know about it; otherwise, her biological daughter…”
She didn’t continue, but meaningfully glanced at the people below, then descended slowly. “Mr. Brown, she’s not my mother. I’m not her daughter. Please don’t misunderstand. I wouldn’t want a mother like her.”
“Song Fan!” Meng Yu quickly interrupted her, afraid that she might say something she shouldn’t. “Is this how you behave in front of guests? What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Yes, sister, you’ve been in the countryside for a long time and don’t understand the family affairs here,” Meng Xia also knew that they had to present a united front now. They had to make Song Fan shut up quickly.
Song Fan just smiled faintly. “I’m at least the legitimate daughter of the Song family, more knowledgeable about it than someone who just arrived. I have something to attend to; you can carry on.”
She had no time to engage with them. Finding the Snow Red Flower was more important now.
Upon seeing her leave, both Meng Yu and Meng Xia breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn’t around, they could probably manage to cover up certain things, the key was how Charlie perceived the situation.
However, unexpectedly, Charlie also stood up. “Miss Song, are you leaving so soon? I came here today specifically to find you.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Xia’s face turned unpleasant. When Charlie first arrived, she thought he meant to find her, not expecting that he intended to find Song Fan.
She had never encountered a man she couldn’t handle. As a result, she became more and more anxious, even forgetting Meng Yu’s instructions. She directly grabbed Charlie. “Charlie, didn’t you say you wanted to explore A City with me? I made a lot of plans for us yesterday! Don’t you want to go out with me? I’ve set a special route for us.”
However, the usually perceptive Charlie suddenly didn’t understand her intentions. He innocently said, “Xiao Xia, didn’t you say Miss Song was just brought back? She must be unfamiliar with this place, right? Why not have Miss Song join us? I prefer a livelier atmosphere.”
His smile was sincere, making it impossible for anyone to think he was lying. But that made Meng Xia even angrier.
She wanted to explain but didn’t want to ruin her image in Charlie’s eyes. So, she looked at him affectionately, “But, Charlie, I just want to be with you…”
“Of course, Xiao Xia also wants to go out with her sister,” Meng Yu interrupted her, then firmly grabbed her arm. “They have a very close relationship and naturally want to go out together. It’s just that Xiao Xia and you had agreed to go out together. Also, you see, Song Fan has something important to attend to. ”
Meng Yu’s words were tactful, giving Meng Xia a way out without dragging Song Fan into it.
Song Fan glanced at her understandingly and nodded at Charlie, then turned and left.
Charlie’s eyes darkened. No one dared to refuse him, and this woman wouldn’t be let off so easily. However, immediately, he turned back to his amiable smile.
“In that case, I’ll respectfully comply.”
Meng Xia felt as if a boulder in her heart had been lifted. She happily returned to her room to change clothes, while Meng Yu continued to keep Charlie company. However, Charlie’s words became fewer; he kept entering something into his phone.
When Song Fan arrived at Gu Chen’s house, he hadn’t gotten up yet. She was a bit puzzled and was led by a servant to Gu Chen’s room. Upon entering, she smelled an unusual fragrance.
The room was very dark, not letting in any light even during the day. Song Fan had to rely on her keen hearing to assess Gu Chen’s condition. His breathing was steady but somewhat heavy, indicating he didn’t sleep well.
It was already ten in the morning, and Gu Chen would typically have been up by now. Today’s situation was somewhat strange.
She gently opened a small slit in the curtains and caught a whiff of the unusual fragrance beside the bedside table. When she sniffed more carefully, her eyes widened. She quickly pulled open the curtains, then opened the window, and shouted to the servant, “Open the ventilation system, prepare disinfectant alcohol and acupuncture needles!”
The servant was startled by Song Fan’s actions and asked dumbfoundedly, “Miss Song, what happened?”
