"Grandfather is overthinking it, I just simply liked her appearance and chose her, it has nothing to do with you."
Wen Nian replied to Wen Liangyu’s words and then said to Manager Tong,
"Everyone is here, prepare to serve the dishes."
"Very well, your excellency."
Song Xiangqiao staggered back to her seat, but her gaze still involuntarily drifted towards Tang Xiaohua...
Bai Qiantan observed from the side, finding it quite novel.
Just how unwilling was Song Xiangqiao for her sister to still be alive... Indeed, Song Lili had been Wen Nian’s childhood sweetheart, and from just looking into Song Xiangqiao’s eyes, one could see how deeply she adored Wen Nian.
However... it was unexpected that the shrewd and exquisite Second Miss Song would reveal her fierce and vicious side here.
Bai Qiantan let out a soft snicker.
Song Xiangqiao gave her a glance...
Bai Qiantan tilted her head, unabashedly meeting her gaze, and said with a smile,
"If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, you probably wouldn’t believe that there could be two people so alike in this world, right?"
At that moment, Song Xiangqiao’s body was still trembling. Alike?
Could people in this world be so alike that even the angle of the corners of their eyes and their voices were exactly the same?
She didn’t believe it!
But Song Lili was clearly dead! Her father had personally collected the body; she had been in that car, burned to a crisp along with the driver of the Old President surnamed Qian!
"Calm down, the world is full of wonders."
Bai Qiantan said leisurely.
Song Xiangqiao frowned tightly, looking at this ignorant woman beside her like she was an idiot!
If the woman standing behind Wen Nian was truly Song Lili, did she think she still had a chance of marrying Wen Nian? This foolish woman! Still standing there as if it were none of her concern, laughing at her!
Taking deep breaths to calm down, think it through, Song Xiangqiao!
She couldn’t lose her composure again, she would definitely get to the bottom of things, whether it be Tang Xiaohua or Song Lili, she would find out!
Even if it was just a stand-in... No, even a stand-in should not be allowed to live if she looked exactly like Song Lili!
It was all thanks to Song Lili that she ended up in this situation, having to please an old man of nearly fifty to gain protection and power!
From the appetizers to the main course and then to the dessert, dinner was finished, and night had fallen.
"When is Qu Yu returning?"
Wen Liangyu wiped his mouth, seemingly asking casually, but Wen Nian knew he and Zhuo Ting were here for just that reason!
"Does grandfather have something to discuss with Qu Yu?"
"I heard you sent Qu Yu to Ryan Castle to invite the witch, is that right?"
Tang Xiaohua’s mouth twitched silently. She hadn’t misheard, had she? Wen Nian had sent Qu Yu to invite a what... a witch?!
"Ryan Castle is the Holy Land of G country, and it’s an unwritten rule and long-standing understanding that reigning monarchs and presidents do not easily disturb its residents."
"Thirty years ago, didn’t grandfather also invite the witch to Anlin City to bless the nation?"
Wen Liangyu’s eyes narrowed slightly,
"So you invited the witch for..."
"Of course, to bless the citizens of Dongheng."
Wen Liangyu glanced at Zhuo Ting, who hastily laughed and said, "I really didn’t expect President Wen Nian to be so superstitious... to actually believe..."
"How did the Vice President know that I instructed Secretary Qu to invite the witch from Ryan Castle?"
Wen Nian interrupted Zhuo Ting’s taunting.
"Secretary Qu is a person close to the President, his every action is always quite noticeable."
Zhuo Ting said ambiguously.
Wen Nian smiled and fell silent, "So... grandfather also wanted to come and meet the witch?"
