Chapter 3：Banquet (1/2)

”Do you think Sheng would come to the banquet tonight?” asked Song Jinyi. Song Ren growled at how tight her dress was to place on; she then responded, ”I would not expect it,” as the associate tried to help Song Ren fit into her dress.

They already selected their dresses weeks in advance, but the appointment was to fit into it. Qian Meigui inwardly felt upset at Song Ren's response, but she kept it to herself.

They would expect Song Sheng's absence, even though their parents are returning to the country for this particular event.

They had not seen Song Sheng in two years. Though Qian Meigui used to be close to him, she also felt that the twins had missed their older brother, even Song Ren, but she does not admit to it. Even she missed him. He left with barely a heart-warming departure, and no one, not even the media, had seen him.

He was twenty-eight years old, and he was grown enough for no one to look for him or take care of him. But Qian Meigui felt as if it were unfair since he took care of them for so many years.

Qian Meigui felt unsettled by the thought that he may not come home for a long time, or never at all. But she knew he has to reveal himself eventually, as he must inherit the Pharmaceutical company.

Later in the afternoon, Qian Meigui changed into her dress with Song Jinyi and Song Ren. Song Ren wore a champagne-gold bodice that complimented her hourglass figure, hugging the curves of her body in the right places.

Song Jinyi wore a short baby blue dress that made her look younger. And Qian Meigui wore a dusty-rose lace dress with flared sleeves, making her look smaller than she was.

Song Ren had straightened out her jet-black hair and applied gold eye shadow to compliment her look. After she finished, Song Ren glanced at Qian Meigui and smiled, which did not often happen, ”Mei Mei, will you be going to the banquet with your hair like that?”

Qian Meigui frowned and looked away, feeling ashamed. Song Ren smiled warmly again, ”No worries; I will do it for you,” she continued.

Qian Meigui nodded her head, ”Mhm.”
