Song Ting adjusted his glasses and remarked, “We’ll discuss this when we get home.”

Song Fan didn’t want to continue the argument in public, so she turned to

Duan Feng and said, “I’m sorry, I’ll visit you another day.”

Duan Feng understood that Song Fan needed to handle her family affairs privately. He smiled and responded, “When that time comes, make sure to give me a call. I have a few new dishes I’d like you to taste.”

Before leaving, Duan Feng cast a glance at Song Ting, surprised that the latter had been deceived by Song Yin for so long.

Once Duan Feng had left, Song Yin initiated her act. She approached Song Ting, pretending to cry. “Big Brother, I don’t know what I did to upset Duan Feng. Could it be that he heard some rumors?”

As she spoke, Song Yin glanced at Song Fan, insinuating that Song Fan might have spoken ill of her.

In the past, Song Ting might have believed her words. But after today’s incident, he was reluctant to jump to conclusions regarding Song Fan. Instead, he inquired, “Do you know why Duan Feng would say such things about Yinyin?

Song Fan responded with an impassive expression, “You should ask him yourself. I have no way of knowing what he’s thinking.”

Tears welled up in Song Yin’s eyes as she looked at Song Fan. “But I’ve never met him before. There’s no way I could have offended him.”

Song Fan decided not to dwell on the matter. She quickly finished her meal and stood up. “I have some business to attend to this afternoon, so I’ll be on my way.”

Song Kai, eager to accompany her, suggested, “Why don’t I go with you?”

“Unless I’m mistaken, you still have classes this afternoon. Skipping classes wouldn’t be a good idea.” Song Fan reminded him.

Song Kai didn’t dare to skip classes in front of his elder brother. He watched

Song Fan leave and said, “We can plan to go out together another time.”

Upon observing Song Kai’s changed behavior, Song Ting grew even more perplexed. He remembered that Song Kai used to despise Song Fan and couldn’t even stand hearing her name. Now, he was voluntarily spending time with her. There had to be a significant reason behind this transformation.

On their way back to school, Song Ting couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Kai, it looks like your relationship with Song Fan is pretty good lately. I recall that you didn’t treat her this way before.”

Song Kai didn’t hold back and shared everything with his elder brother. He sighed and confessed, “Song Fan has become incredibly capable and much more likable than when we were younger.”

As Song Ting listened to Song Kai’s narration, he found little to be likable about Song Fan. It seemed that Song Kai was constantly chasing after Song Fan, and her response remained quite distant.

Nonetheless, these developments hinted at a remarkable change in Song Fan. She was no longer the unreasonable and impulsive person she once was, and she seemed to be thriving even without relying on the Song Family’s support.

Song Ting’s foremost desire was to witness his younger siblings gain the capability to stand on their own feet. They didn’t need to reach extraordinary heights, but he didn’t want them to become dependent people who relied solely on their family’s wealth.

Song Ting felt a newfound respect and admiration for Song Fan. He recognized her growing capabilities and abandoned any thoughts of sending her back to the countryside.

However, Song Yin remained unaware of her older brother’s change of heart. She continued to cry and tried to seek comfort from him. “Big Brother, did I do something wrong?”

He handed her a handkerchief and said, “If Duan Feng doesn’t like you, then you should limit your interactions with him in the future. Otherwise, you might end up in tears whenever you see him. Wipe your tears and try not to cry so easily. It’s not a good habit.”

Song Yin thought that her brother was concerned about her. She took his hand and said fearfully, “I just can’t control myself sometimes.”

Unbeknownst to Song Yin, her brother was quietly resolving not to allow her to enter the family company in the future, as her temperament was ill-suited for corporate life.

The news of the Gu Family holding a banquet had spread, and every family was preparing to attend. In their view, not being on the invitation list would be quite embarrassing.

Naturally, the Song Family had received an invitation. Song Ting intended to bring Song Kai as his guest, but Song Yin was anxious about it. “Big Brother, I also want to attend the banquet.”

Song Ting explained, “I can only bring one additional person with me per invitation. You and Xiao Kai should discuss who will accompany me.”

Song Yin knew that Fu Nian would definitely be attending such an event. So, she felt compelled to join.

“Fourth Brother, could you please give me that spot?” She looked at Song Kai with hopeful eyes.

Song Kai had been looking forward to attending the banquet with his big brother, as it marked their first appearance together at such an event. So, he was reluctant to let go of this opportunity.

He tried to convey this importance to Song Yin with a smile. “This banquet is very important to me. I’ll make sure you get the chance next time.”

He believed Song Yin would understand, but her response was far from what he had expected. She stood at the door, her tears flowing more profusely, as if she would keep crying until her request was granted..
