Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Meng Yu’s strategy was quite clever. She had long aimed to bring this matter to the public eye. What man wouldn’t appreciate a woman willing to risk her life to save others? It seemed only natural for Meng Xia to become the adopted daughter of the Song Family. However, she hadn’t anticipated Xu Xin complicating things.
She could only leverage the presence of the Song family and the audience to swiftly resolve the matter. She was confident that Song Yi wouldn’t contradict her in front of everyone. contemporary romance
“What’s going on?” Song Yi approached with a cold expression.
Meng Yu immediately clung to his arm pitifully. “Xiao Xia was questioned by these girls about attending the Gu Family’s banquet. She’s my niece and Song Kai’s savior. Why can’t she come?”
She genuinely shed tears and spoke pitifully, “If it weren’t for Xiao Xia, would Song Kai still be standing here? But look at Xiao Xia. Not only was she covered in injuries, but she almost couldn’t wake up. I didn’t expect her to be ridiculed at her first banquet in her life…”
Her words were sincere, and Meng Xia had indeed saved Song Kai. Song Kai also stepped in to help Meng Xia out of embarrassment. “She saved me when I almost got into a car accident last time. She’s not what you think. She’s just here for a banquet. Don’t be so malicious to her.”
Upon hearing this from the person involved, the others naturally refrained from saying anything more. Only Xu Xin pursed her lips and whispered to Xu Yuan, “Returning to the country and there’s already a good show to watch. Is every banquet so interesting these days? A niece becoming an adopted daughter.”
Xu Xin couldn’t comprehend this adopted daughter scenario at all. She couldn’t fathom the twists and turns and felt there was a conspiracy.
However, Xu Yuan understood Meng Yu’s intentions. It seemed she had long planned to make Meng Xia a part of the Song Family. Not just him, everyone around was perceptive. How many of them didn’t understand? It was just a matter of how Song Yi chose.
Song Yi frowned. He had never held a favorable opinion of Meng Yu’s family. They were like locusts, always seeking money, and not much else.
However, Meng Xia had been obedient since childhood. He didn’t mind a little girl, so he tolerated her visits to the Song Family. Plus, Meng Xia had saved Song Kai, leading to a change in his opinion. This time, he hesitated.
In the past, he had nurtured Song Yin in the hope that she would bring honor to the Song Family. If she married well in the future, it would also benefit him. However, Meng Xia, appearing calm despite looking wronged, was indeed a promising candidate.
Meng Yu had been with him for many years, so she knew his thoughts well. Despite Song Yi’s affectionate demeanor, he was ultimately a businessman. As long as there was profit without compromising his bottom line, he would accept it.
She continued to sob, “Yin Yin, she… You’re often working and not at home. If you let Xiao Xia accompany me, it’ll be a little comforting. Didn’t you like her very much in the past? Moreover, she is Song Kai’s savior.”
She leaned close to Song Yi’s ear, saying in a voice only they could hear, “Look at how beautiful Xiao Xia is. How many people are looking at her? She will marry into a wealthy family in the future.”
Song Yi was starting to relax. Upon hearing this, he made up his mind. “Yes, Meng Xia saved Song Kai and is his savior. She has been visiting our house since she was young. My wife and I like her very much. From now on, Meng Xia is my adopted daughter and the daughter of the Song Family. Please don’t look down on her and the Song Family! ”
His words were protective of Meng Xia. After all, the Song Family held a prestigious position in A City. Many people began to congratulate him on gaining another obedient daughter.
Xu Xin was dumbfounded. Xu Yuan patted her shoulder helplessly. “Sister, you’re so hot-tempered and straightforward. You’re not suitable for the social circle of A City, let alone the capital.”
Xu Xin nodded silently, then shook her head and said angrily, “Don’t even think about stopping me!” She then gave Xu Yuan a graceful back view and went to gossip with her friends.
Song Fan stood to the side and didn’t say anything. She already understood that this was Meng Yu’s first step. With Song Yi’s approval, even if Meng Xia was an adopted daughter, having the Song Family’s support would elevate her status in the social circle.
At this moment, a staff member entered from outside. He looked at Song Fan awkwardly and then at Meng Xia. Finally, he braced himself and said, “A gentleman just sent this pearl necklace. He said that Kevin sent it to Miss Song to match her clothes..”
