Yuan Shu didnt need to turn around to know that this person was s.h.i.+ Xiao, but hadnt he already left? Why did he come back? If he stood up for her, wouldnt others know that their fight was fake?

As expected, Song Chuan said, 1 didnt expect the young master and madam of the s.h.i.+ family to put on such a convincing act. Outsiders thought that you two were on bad terms and were settling the divorce. It turns out that it was just a show.

s.h.i.+ Xiao walked over and wrapped his arm around Yuan Shus waist gently. Then, he looked at Yuan Shu affectionately and said, Its just a little fun between husband and wife. Does the Song family plan to probe about these things? Isnt the Song family being too nosy? Or does the Song family want to interfere in my familys matters?

After saying the last sentence, s.h.i.+ Xiaos expression suddenly changed and he looked towards Song Chuan coldly.

Song Chuan was stunned and didnt say anything else.

Seeing that Song Chuan was at a disadvantage, Song s.h.i.+ was about to go crazy and she shouted at Song Chuan, If you have the ability, detain him. What s.h.i.+ family? Were not afraid of them. If Grandpa was here, they definitely wouldnt have the guts to make a fuss!

Song Chuan finally couldnt take it anymore and slapped Song s.h.i.+s face.

Everyone present was shocked, and Li Lin took a step back in fear.

Song s.h.i.+ looked at Song Chuan in shock. Ever since 1 was young, even Grandpa couldnt bear to hit me. How dare you hit me?! Just you wait!

As she spoke, Song s.h.i.+ ran to the second floor. Needless to say, she must be planning to complain to the old master.

Yuan Shu looked coldly in the direction she left in. It seemed that Song Chuan had no say in the Song family at all. Everything in the Song family was under Old Master Songs control.

However, gender bias was deeply ingrained in prominent families, so why would the old man ignore his son and value his granddaughter instead? Moreover, Song s.h.i.+ didnt respect her father at all.

While the crowd was in a deadlock, Jiang Chen stopped Song s.h.i.+ and walked down from the second floor. He looked at the crowd and said, This is Song s.h.i.+s problem. Im sorry to disturb you. Ill send a gift on behalf of the Song family to apologize. I hope Young Master s.h.i.+ and Miss Yuan can forget what happened tonight.

Miss Yuan? s.h.i.+ Xiao couldnt help but frown at him.

Yuan Shu also looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression while trying to understand the purpose behind Jiang Chens action.

She looked at Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen avoided her gaze and left with Song Chuan.

Yuan Shu and s.h.i.+ Xiao looked at each other. They could tell that there was something fishy about Jiang Chen and Song Chuans relations.h.i.+p, but they didnt say anything else and left the banquet together.

They originally wanted to send Liu Lan home before going back, but Liu Lan said that her husband was coming to pick her up, so Yuan Shu and the others accompanied Liu Lan to wait for Xiao Sheng before going home.

On the way back, Liu Lan told Xiao Sheng what had happened today and asked curiously, Why did Song s.h.i.+ dare to speak to Song Chuan like this? She doesnt have any respect for Song Chuan at all. This isnt how a daughter should interact with her father.

Xiao Sheng focused on the road ahead as he said, Perhaps Old Master Song allows it. Song Chuan is Old Master Songs illegitimate son and was only brought back to the Song family after Old Master Songs biological son pa.s.sed away, so Old Master Song has always had objections about him. Old Master Song even suspects that Song Chuan was the one who caused the accident.

Upon hearing this, Liu Lan was even more curious. Then why does he value Song Chuans daughter, Song s.h.i.+, so much?

Xiao Sheng shook his head and asked her with a smile, Havent you never been interested in the secrets of wealthy families? Why are you suddenly so curious today?

Liu Lan was as docile as a little white rabbit in front of Xiao Sheng. She pursed her lips and said, Its all because she bullied Yuan Shu.

Xiao Sheng asked with jealousy, If Yuan Shu and I fell into the water at the same time, who will you save first?

Liu Lan turned around seriously and looked at Xiao Shengs side profile as she replied, Of course Ill save you! Because Yuan Shu wouldnt be so stupid as to fall into the water.

Xiao Sheng was speechless.

She might as well not have answered.

As Yuan Shu and s.h.i.+ Xiao sat in the backseat of the car together, the shadows cast by the street lamps changed rapidly on them.

Yuan Shu reminded him, Why did you suddenly stand up for me today? You know that were still putting on an act.

s.h.i.+ Xiao said confidently, I already know who the mastermind is, so I dont think theres a need to continue acting.

Who is it? Yuan Shu looked at s.h.i.+ Xiao as she asked.

Li Ci..
