Chapter 4:Song Sheng (1/2)
The Banquet was radiantly bright with lights and chandeliers covering the ceiling. There were white lilies on every table with golden chairs, red table cloths, and silver cutlery.
Only exclusive people could attend, and government state officials were seated with the Song Elders, along with their parents at the head of the Banquet, where they all chatted away.
As with every event, Qian Meigui felt like she did not belong in these lavish parties, though it was vital for her to attend since she was Song Mei, the third middle child of the family of five.
The siblings were seated next to each other, where an empty seat Song Sheng was supposed to sit daunted on them.
They remained seated until a young man who looked about her age approached them.
Alarmed, Song Ren glanced at him from head to toe and asked, ”Why the fuck are you here? Get lost!” she responded to him.
Qian Meigui looked at her sister with widened eyes, her mouth slightly gaping.
Though Song Ren was elegant and dignified, she had a short temper and was not afraid to speak her mind. When Qian Meigui looked at the man, she realized it was Su Feng, the eldest son of Su Liang, CEO of Sun Group, a competing pharmaceutical company.
He wore a white suit, his golden hair sleeked to one side, and he rested his stark ice-blue eyes on Song Ren.
He was Song Ren's enemy and friend from school because they use to compete with each other. Su Feng smiled as if her words did not affect him. He turned to their younger sister, ”Jinyi, it is nice to see you again.”
Song Jinyi nodded and smiled, ”Hello, brother Feng.” Su Feng then turned to Qian Meigui and said with a smile, ”Good evening Song Mei.”
”Hello,” responded Qian Meigui.
Song Ren did not appear fazed, and she did not care to acknowledge Su Feng, ignoring him the entire time.
Qian Meigui wondered what happened between them, as she noticed the way he looked at Song Ren with half longing and half resentment. But she never asked what their relationship was. Qian Meigui was always afraid to ask.
Su Feng then shook hands with Song Jun before leaving. They all sat in silence, waiting for an introduction to the banquet.
The opener of the event was the President's brother, Song Li, the second son of her grandparents, and her twisted uncle.
