Song Yu took the initiative to introduce himself to the other party: "I am Song Yao's older brother, Song Yu."
Wan Ge said "Oh" and then said, "Oh, so it's your brother. But you two don't look alike at all. I didn't even recognize you."
When Wan Ge said those words, Song Yu's expression changed visibly, and the people around him were also stunned.
At this moment, Madam Song walked to Wan Ge's side with a faint smile on her face, seemingly very happy because of their arrival. She then said to Wan Ge, "Xiao Yu is someone we adopted."
This explains why Song Yao looked so much like his father, but Song Yu looked nothing like them.
Song Yao and his father looked quite alike when they were young. Even now that Mr. Song is older, you can still see the resemblance between the father and son.
Because Song Yu has absolutely no relation to the couple, even though he is very good-looking, he doesn't resemble them at all.
Madam Song didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what Wan Ge said. After all, in her memory, this girl had always been very gentle and had no ill intentions towards people.
Moreover, she had been trying to ease the tension between her own son and them, which made Madam Song feel even more favorably toward the girl.
To others, it may seem like I'm just saying some mundane, insignificant things, but only those who care know how much I truly care.
Song Yu knew her to some extent and didn't seem to realize that she was doing it on purpose. He quickly adjusted his emotions, smiled faintly, and said, "Xiao Yao probably never told you, so it's normal that you don't know me."
Wan Ge merely glanced at him indifferently, and then said nothing more.
…
It is said that those involved are often blinded by their own interests, but Mr. Zheng, who was observing from the sidelines, seemed to have already understood the situation.
First of all, he knew his daughter better than anyone else. He knew better than anyone what kind of person Wan Ge was, so he knew that Wan Ge said those things on purpose to provoke Song Yu.
Song Yu was no good either. It was obvious that his initial words and his appearance in front of Song Yao were deliberate provocations.
Although he doesn't yet know why Song Yao is so hostile towards his adopted son, he seems to realize that something is going on, and the situation is quite serious.
Mr. Zheng had actually seen his daughter and son-in-law when they arrived, but he was talking to someone else and hadn't gone up to them before.
Mr. Zheng slowly walked forward, looked at his daughter and said, "Why are you so late?"
It seems like it was your father-in-law's birthday, how come you're only arriving now?
Wan Ge still had a faint smile on her lips, and then said, "Because I spent a long time picking out a gift for Uncle, and I didn't know what Uncle liked, I came late."
Although Wan Ge's words seemed a bit resentful, she actually looked at Song Yao with more helplessness and affection: "Besides, Song Yao didn't even tell me. If Auntie hadn't sent me a message, I wouldn't have known it was Uncle's birthday today. It won't happen again next time."
The couple already knew why their son hadn't told them, and they didn't think anything of it at all. They were already overjoyed that Wan Ge could bring Song Yao here.
Wan Ge then said to Song Yao, "As punishment, you must help your uncle entertain the guests properly today."
It seemed to be just like what Song Yu had just done, where he was entertaining guests as a member of the Song family.
“I…” Song Yao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but looking down at the girl in front of him, he didn’t know what Wan Ge wanted to do, but he seemed to understand what she wanted to do, so he finally answered “okay”.
Unlike Song Yu, who seemed to be known by everyone, Song Yao always stayed by his father's side, helping him to entertain the guests.
The fact that others were unfamiliar with Song Yao made Mr. Song happy time and time again to tell them that this was his son.
Everyone here knows that Song Yu is an adopted son, but they just don't dare to say anything.
…
When Wan Ge went to the restroom and passed by the garden, she heard several people chatting.
"I didn't expect Song Yao to actually come back. What is Song Yu, an adopted son? He was even smug in front of us before."
Another person spoke with a mocking tone: "Isn't that right? Back then, they thought that since Song Yao and President Song didn't get along, they had a chance to inherit the family fortune. They didn't even realize what kind of person they were."
They didn't actually look down on Song Yu at first, but he was sometimes too arrogant in front of them, always acting as if he was more noble than anyone else, so they gradually became dissatisfied with him.
The funniest thing for Wan Ge was that he saw Song Yu standing not far away.
The moment Wan Ge saw the other person, she sensed that he was no ordinary person, which is why Wan Ge was so hostile towards him.
Moreover, she always had a hunch that Song Yao's current strained relationship with his parents was largely due to the other party.
Wan Ge quietly went to the restroom and then returned to Song Yao's side.
This banquet also seemed to confirm that Wan Ge would marry Song Yao, and that the two families would become in-laws in the future.
The Song and Zheng families hold almost the highest positions here. People had always thought that if the two families continued to compete and the relationship worsened, they might be able to reap the benefits.
Now that the two families are actually going to get married, other people's feelings are starting to become complicated.
Wan Ge naturally joined Song Yao in entertaining the guests, and at this time she also saw Ji Xuan's parents.
Madam Ji still had a smile on her face, but she wasn't in a good mood, and she only said a few polite words.
…
After the banquet ended, because it was late, Mr. and Mrs. Song invited the two of them to stay, while Mr. Zheng had already gone home.
Song Yao didn't really want to stay, but after glancing at Wan Ge, who looked a little tired sitting on the sofa, and knowing that their place was indeed quite far from here, Song Yao finally agreed.
As Wan Ge walked with him, she seemed to remember that her charger was still in the car.
Song Yao said softly to her, "I'll go get it for you."
Wan Ge replied with an "okay," and then said she would go back to her room first.
Wan Ge returned to his room. Madam Song originally wanted to prepare another room for her, but Wan Ge took the initiative to say that it was fine to share a room with Song Yao and there was no need to prepare another room.
Madam Song was taken aback for a moment, but seemed to understand what was going on. With a faint smile on her lips, she replied, "Okay."
Wan Ge returned to Song Yao's room, while Song Yao arrived at the parking lot. Just as he picked up the charger, he seemed to hear people arguing nearby. He didn't want to pay attention, but what he heard made him stop in his tracks.
