“Okay.” Wan Ge immediately took the other person’s hand and walked downstairs with them.
Chi Lingyu followed behind and exchanged a glance with Mr. Song. Mr. Song looked somewhat helpless and patted the shoulder of the person next to him.
He could tell that Wan Ge and the person in front of him seemed to have an unusual relationship.
He was quite happy to see this, which meant that Wan Ge might have really repented.
Although Chi Lingyu doesn't like socializing or talking, he's quite good in every way. Moreover, he noticed the way Chi Lingyu looked at Wan Ge; it wasn't the kind of predatory look one has for prey, but genuine affection.
He thought that barring any unforeseen circumstances, their wedding should be imminent.
…
When the commotion came from upstairs, the conversation downstairs also quieted down considerably.
Ling Ni was not surprised to see Wan Ge standing next to Madam Song and being so intimate with her.
After meeting her, she learned about her mother's identity, and when she wasn't with Jiang Mize, she was listening to her mother tell her these things.
She saw the dazzling woman on the stairs; at this moment, Wan Ge was the real Miss Su.
Wan Ge was composed and elegant, and her temperament was not much different from those around her, because they were all the same.
Mr. Song said a few words, and Mrs. Song directly stood next to Mrs. Su with Wan Ge.
"I was wondering where the child had gone; turns out he went to your place."
Mrs. Song held Mrs. Su's hand. The two often met and chatted with each other, sometimes even when they had nothing to do.
Therefore, after Madam Su arrived, she did not go to see the other party so quickly. She planned to visit Old Master Song after she and her husband arrived.
Knowing that Madam Song would be receiving many people this time, she didn't disturb her too much, which is why she wasn't by Madam Song's side.
Moreover, given their relationship, there's no need for such formalities. Besides, they see each other frequently, so whether they spend time together or not doesn't matter.
After Mr. Song finished speaking, Grandpa Song came downstairs with a smile on his face. His granddaughter had just called him, so he was still in a good mood.
…
However, others were more curious about who was standing next to Mr. Song. Someone who could stand on equal footing with Mr. Song must not be an ordinary person.
Ling Ni recognized him at a glance; it was her maternal grandfather. When she was little, her mother would always look at her grandfather's photos and cry.
She met her maternal grandfather when she went to kindergarten, and they kept in touch. However, her maternal grandfather told her not to tell her mother, and she kept quiet about it since she had promised him.
Jiang Mize wasn't standing next to Ling Ni, and it was unclear where he had gone.
Wan Ge didn't focus her gaze on them, but would occasionally glance at those around her.
Ling Ni also noticed Wan Ge's action and was curious about who the man next to Wan Ge was.
So she approached her mother and asked again. Ms. Ling, who was talking to someone else, turned her gaze to Chi Lingyu after hearing her daughter's question.
In that instant, Ling Ni saw her mother's eyes redden.
After a long while, she finally heard her mother say, "He is your cousin."
Ms. Ling's voice was completely unwavering and certain. Even though she hadn't seen Chi Lingyu for many years, she recognized her sister's only child at a glance.
"Cousin? Is that the cousin you secretly went to see before, Mom?"
Mrs. Ling nodded. Her sister and father had been the kindest people to her because her mother had left a long time ago.
Her older sister was a few years older than her, so she always protected her.
Even after she severed ties with her father, her sister continued to support them financially, both openly and secretly.
However, just as their situation was improving, the older sister had an accident.
She learned that her father was very unhappy after finding out about this and no longer publicly acknowledged her little nephew. She was very worried about Chi Lingyu, so she went to the kindergarten he attended and secretly visited him a few times.
They also discovered that the once sunny, lively, and cheerful little boy had become gloomy after this incident, often sitting alone and no longer taking the initiative to interact with other children.
After that, whenever she had free time, Ms. Ling would secretly take a look. However, after Chi Lingyu finished elementary school, she stopped attending school and hired a private tutor. After that, Ms. Ling never saw Chi Lingyu again.
I never expected to see him again today, and to see my father again.
…
Seeing her mother talking to Aunt Luo Luo, Wan Ge immediately took Chi Lingyu elsewhere.
Because she was very familiar with the Song family, and the Song family members also knew her, no one stopped her from going anywhere.
Wan Ge finally found a comfortable and quiet place, where the two stayed for quite a while. Feeling that the banquet was about to end, they decided to take everyone back.
But before I knew it, I had only taken a few steps when I heard a commotion.
"Jiang Mize, what are you doing? You're my boyfriend, she's my best friend, and you two are actually... actually doing this kind of thing!"
As soon as Wan Ge arrived at the door, she saw Ling Ni looking like she was about to cry, but she stubbornly refused to shed a tear and then turned away.
"That's not how it is, Ni Ni, let me explain."
Just then, another girl's voice rang out: "Yes, Sister Ni Ni, Brother Aze is definitely not the kind of person who would do anything reckless. You must trust him."
