Chapter 182 - 182: Eldest Miss

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Song Ting did these things, his words were gentle, and his actions were even gentler. It was as if Song Fan were delicate porcelain.

This attitude terrified Song Fan, prompting her to quickly wrap herself in the blanket.

The servant promptly brought the food. Song Ting instructed her to ensure that the Eldest Miss finished her meal before he left the room.

Song Yin cast a resentful look at Song Fan before following Song Ting and the others out. Only then did Song Fan dare to breathe a sigh of relief. Song Ting’s demeanor was even scarier than when he scolded her.

“Big Brother, is Sister going to stay home from now on?” Song Yin inquired.

Song Ting nodded and replied, “That’s right. From now on, Little Sister will be living at home.”

After this, he called for the servants to gather. Unnoticed by Song Ting, Song Yin’s face contorted in displeasure.

Despite being the youngest in the family, Song Ting referred to Song Fan as “Little Sister,” indicating that he didn’t consider her a true family member.

Song Yin felt like she was losing her mind. Ever since Song Fan’s return to A City, nothing had gone smoothly for her. She couldn’t help but think, why didn’t Mother eliminate Song Fan back then?

Song Ting addressed all the household servants, saying, “Starting today, Eldest Miss will be residing here. You must show her the utmost respect. If any issues from the past arise again, I won’t hesitate to ensure your family can’t remain in City A. Do you understand?”

Song Ting’s tone remained calm, not much louder than usual, but the servants all lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

They recognized who held absolute authority in the family. Song Ting’s words were never empty threats; he would act if necessary.

In their hearts, the servants resolved to worship Eldest Miss like a deity from now on and obey her every command.

“Very well. I hope you remember this,” Song Ting continued, “I won’t offer a second chance.”

At that moment, Song Yin approached and suggested, “Big Brother, allow me to look after Sister. She tends to have a short temper, and I’m worried she might easily become upset with others.”

She intended to remind Song Ting of Song Fan’s past irritations, but when Song Ting heard her, he only recalled the hardships Song Fan had faced in the countryside, as detailed in the information.

“No need. Let Song Kai take care of things at home. I’ll assist after work.” Song

Ting decided. “You’re at a crucial stage in your studies; focus on your studies.”

Song Yin smiled in agreement on the surface, but when she returned to her room, she threw objects on the floor, careful not to break anything. Her frustration only deepened.

Seated on the ground, she seethed with anger. It seemed that everyone in the Song Family would side with Song Fan, leaving her with nothing.

Furthermore, Song Fan had just mentioned staying at Gu Chen’s house, fueling her jealousy. Song Yin’s manners and actions exemplify those of a refined young lady from a prominent family. In contrast, Song Fan always seemed restless and even knew how to handle firearms. It was anything but elegant. No matter how one looked at it, Song Yin appeared more appealing.

Yet, Gu Chen only had eyes for Song Fan, completely ignoring her. Even Gu

Zhuo pursued Song Fan, addressing her as “sister” every day. Are they all blind?

At that moment, Song Yin noticed the invitation letter on the table and grasped it as if it were a lifeline. It was the invitation Fu Nian had sent.

Even if she no longer wished to marry Fu Nian, this banquet held great importance for her. She needed to prove her charm to everyone, demonstrating that she was superior to Song Fan.

At the same time, a servant delivered an invitation to Song Fan. She accepted it and recognized the Fu Family’s emblem. It was the banquet Old Master Fu had mentioned recently. She replied, “Leave it there.”

The servant noted her expression and asked, “Eldest Miss, should we prepare clothing for the banquet?”

Following Song Yin’s usual practice, preparations needed to begin well in advance, and on the day itself, she would typically remain busy for most of the morning before heading out.

Contrary to Song Yin, Song Fan believed this was merely a casual gathering for conversation and chess. There was no need for formal attire, and she replied, “No need to prepare anything; I’ve already chosen my outfit for the day.”

Although the servant wasn’t privy to the details of Song Fan’s attire, she nodded in understanding and left, as per Song Ting’s instructions.

To her surprise, she encountered Song Yin as soon as she stepped out and was questioned, “Who sent that invitation?”
