Chapter 35 Chapter 35 He is finally here
Song Jianan and Chen Rui said goodbye to each other and returned to the hotel.
A leisurely afternoon passed and soon it was evening.
Everything is ready and guests are arriving one after another.
The waiters were assigned different tasks. Song Jianan, like several other waiters, shuttled around the banquet hall in a hurry, and had to remember to keep smiling at all times. He didn't even bother to pay attention to whether there were any familiar faces among the people attending the banquet.
Although I didn't pay attention, some words inadvertently entered my ears.
As soon as he heard "Mr. Song", "Young Master", and "Song", he froze in place.
His fingers gripped the tray tightly, his face turned pale, and the panic in his heart made him unable to react.
It was not until he heard a very soft scolding that he looked up and forced out an extremely ugly smile. He said sorry, then rushed into the backstage, put down the tray, and slid to the ground as if he was almost exhausted.
What should I do? What should I do?
He was actually working as a waiter at Song Yuxuan's banquet.
If the Song couple knew about this, they would definitely think that he was unwilling to give up and deliberately came to disrupt Song Yuxuan's banquet.
Song Yuxuan...will definitely look at him with a look that makes him hate him.
And Song Yuqiao, Song Yuqiao said that he would be back very late tonight and asked him not to wait for him and to go to bed first. Will Song Yuqiao rush back to attend this party?
He didn't know, his mind was a mess and he didn't know what to do.
If he leaves now, he won't get 3,000 yuan. He has been busy since morning till now. Wouldn't it be a huge loss if he doesn't get paid?
But if he doesn't leave, what if he is discovered?
Song Jianan wanted to cry. How could he be so stupid that he didn't even ask in advance who was organizing the banquet?
Yu Ling hurriedly pushed the door open and came in. She was startled to see him sitting on the ground. She quickly said, "Why are you still sitting here? It's so busy outside. I went out to help, and you're still here."
Song Jianan looked up, his eyes red, which scared him again, "What's wrong with you? What happened? Did you encounter some unreasonable customer and get bullied?"
Song Jianan shook his head, wiped his eyes, stood up, and forced a smile, "It's okay, I'll be out right away."
Yu Ling frowned, hesitated for a moment, glanced at the tight uniform on Song Jianan, and said, "How about this, if you don't want to go out, I'll switch with you, and you can help prepare other things here, just like I did just now. You still have to come out to help when it's busy. If the supervisor asks, I'll say you're not feeling well, and he probably won't mind us swapping."
Song Jianan was very touched and couldn't help but want to agree immediately. He opened his lips and asked uncertainly: "Is this really okay?"
Yu Ling took his tray and pushed him inside. "Alright, that's it. I've taught you everything you need to do here. I'll be leaving first. We can talk later if you have anything else."
Song Jianan looked at his back and felt that Yu Ling was a really good person. He grinned and cheered up.
If he stayed at the back, the possibility of being discovered would be greatly reduced, and he finally felt less panicked.
After that, he went to the banquet hall several times and didn't meet anyone he didn't want to meet, so he completely relaxed.
Come to think of it, there were so many guests, and they were busy flattering and catering to each other, so who would have the time to care about who the waiters were or what they looked like.
With a bang, the door was pushed open with great force. Yu Ling was panting, his face expression filled with forbearance. He hurriedly said to him, "Go and stand by me for a while. I'm going to the bathroom."
Then he rushed to the bathroom without looking back.
Song Jianan returned to the banquet hall.
In the banquet hall, people were dressed in elegant clothes and drinking wine. The waiters who shuttled among them were as skilled as fish in water, but they disappeared into the water and had a very low sense of presence.
Song Jianan never expected that he would meet an unexpected person before he was discovered by the Song family.
Tang Yiwen grabbed his hand and asked in a low voice, shocked and angry, "Why are you here?"
Song Jianan's body swayed and he subconsciously grabbed the tray tightly. Fortunately, the things did not fall out.
He looked up and saw the familiar face, his eyes widened in panic, he quickly lowered his head, broke free from Tang Yiwen's hand, and wanted to leave quickly as if to escape.
Tang Yiwen chased after him and grabbed him, "Song Jianan, what is your purpose in appearing here?"
"You'd better leave immediately and don't try to ruin Yuxuan's banquet!"
Song Jianan's fingertips trembled, and he could hardly hold the tray. He stammered, "I don't have it."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Tang Yiwen caught a glimpse of Song Yuxuan walking towards him, and immediately let go of him, whispering to him, "Hurry up and leave!"
"Yiwen, who is he? Is he someone you know?" Song Yuxuan finally had time to find Tang Yiwen. When he walked over, he only saw the waiter's back as he left. He looked at him curiously and felt that he looked familiar.
Tang Yiwen quickly blocked his sight, responded vaguely, and changed the subject.
Song Jianan was so flustered that he just kept his head down while walking. He bumped into someone without noticing, and the wine glass and tray fell to the ground with a clang and shattered.
His mind went blank and cold sweat immediately broke out on his back. He stood there in horror, at a loss as to what to do.
The person who was hit was a male Alpha. His dark blue suit was soaked by red wine and quickly became covered with mottled wine stains.
The male Alpha was originally heading for the protagonist of the banquet, Song Yuxuan, but before he got close, he was splashed with wine by a reckless waiter.
Now that he had changed his clothes and came back, Young Master Song had been picked up by countless Alphas, so how could he remember that he was the one who came up later?
Suddenly, he was furious and scolded him harshly: "Can you walk? Don't you have eyes? You stained my clothes, can you afford to pay for it?"
Song Jianan was startled by his scolding, and immediately reacted and bowed to apologize.
The male Alpha's angry gaze paused, and his expression changed as he slid across his tight and firm body wrapped in the uniform like a sticky snake or rat.
Song Jianan was completely unaware and took out a towel he had prepared in advance from his uniform pocket to wipe his clothes, trying to save the situation, but was caught by the wrist.
"Are you Beta?"
"yes."
Song Jianan was extremely uneasy. He was afraid of being noticed by Song Yuxuan and the others, and he was also worried that the person in front of him would insist on making fun of his mistake.
He pleaded, "I'm so sorry for soiling your clothes. Please change them later and I'll clean them for you and return them to you in perfect condition. How do you think?"
After reciting the lines he had thought of in advance at Yu Ling's reminder, he found that the male Alpha looked at him strangely, which made his scalp tingle.
The male Alpha looked at his face and felt a little disappointed. He looked quite ordinary, but he was just a Beta, so there was no need to be too picky.
There was quite a commotion here, which immediately attracted the attention of people around.
Song Yuxuan and Tang Yiwen looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it seemed to be the waiter from before. Tang Yiwen's face changed immediately.
Song Yuxuan didn't know who it was yet, so he just pulled Tang Yiwen over and whispered to him, "Yiwen, let's go over and take a look. Since he's someone you know, I, as his master, won't let him be bullied."
Tang Yiwen hesitated and tried to stop him vaguely several times, but he couldn't stop Song Yuxuan at all.
Song Yuxuan is the protagonist of tonight. It is said that Song Yuqiao, the head of the Song family, will also attend the banquet. It seems that this young master who just returned to the Song family is highly valued.
Countless people were secretly watching him. When he moved, the eyes of the entire banquet hall followed suit, all falling on the Beta waiter and the male Alpha with a slightly unfamiliar face.
The male Alpha had other thoughts, and in this situation, it was not appropriate to make trouble and affect his image, so he wanted to "keep the peace".
Song Yuxuan stepped forward, his voice clear and gentle, like an Omega: "What happened?"
The male Alpha instantly changed his expression, brushed Song Jianan away, and smiled warmly. Even though he was in a mess, he still looked elegant and graceful. "It's not a big deal. It's just that the waiter knocked over the wine, which made Young Master Song worried."
When Song Jianan heard Song Yuxuan's voice, his body stiffened and he turned sideways, revealing only his chestnut head facing him. His eyes dropped to the ground and he quickly squatted down to pick up the tray and the broken wine glass.
Yu Ling took advantage of the situation and squeezed in, squatted beside him to help him clean up, and asked him about the situation in a low voice.
Song Yuxuan exchanged a few words with the male Alpha, brushing the matter off lightly. His gaze fell on the two waiters, and his brows furrowed slightly. "You two should get up too. Be careful not to hurt your hands. Go get the cleaning tools and clean up."
His gaze lingered on the chestnut head for a moment. The lights in the banquet hall were not bright white, so he couldn't see clearly from a distance. Only when he got closer did he see that he actually had chestnut hair. The sense of familiarity became stronger.
After hearing what he said, Yu Ling stood up, pulled the motionless Song Jianan, and bowed to Song Yuxuan to express his gratitude.
Song Jianan was led by him to bow stiffly, and as expected, he saw Song Yuxuan's expression broke.
"Why are you here?"
After Song Yuxuan blurted out, he subconsciously glanced around and received strong gossiping glances, so he quickly restrained his expression.
His eyes swept over Song Jianan's uniform, and he had some guesses in his mind. A look of concern appeared on his face. "Jianan, why didn't you tell us that you were here? If people knew that you were working as a waiter at the banquet held at our house, wouldn't they laugh at Father and Dad? Didn't Dad transfer a large sum of money to your family? Why are you working as a waiter here?"
These words caused all kinds of speculation among those present. They all understood that this waiter was probably the fake Young Master Song from before, who had deliberately gone to other people's banquet, perhaps with some ulterior motive.
At this time, Song Boqian and Xu Yu heard the noise, walked to Song Yuxuan's side, and saw Song Jianan, their faces changed suddenly.
Song Boqian frowned, his face looking serious and majestic.
Xu Yu stood in front of Song Yuxuan, with a protective attitude, and cast a look of scrutiny and disgust on Song Jianan without disguising it. He said condescendingly: "Tell me, why did you show up at Xuanxuan's party on purpose? Are you short of money?"
Song Jianan's face flushed red from all the looks and discussions around him, his ears buzzed, and his head felt dizzy. He pinched his palms and could hardly stand.
Yu Ling quietly left everyone's sight, looked at Song Jianan with a complicated expression, and then looked at Song Yuxuan with envy.
Under the gaze of everyone, Song Jianan opened his lips with difficulty: "I didn't know this was a banquet hosted by you." If he had known, he would never have come.
Xu Yu frowned, his eyes growing more disgusted. "I've carefully raised you for over twenty years in vain. Last time you failed to steal money, and now you're lying. With a character like yours, how can I dare to keep you at home?"
There was an uproar all around.
I didn't expect that there would be such a thing as stealing money. Although he is an ordinary Beta, he looks like a clean young man. Tsk tsk, it's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
I don’t know how much money I stole, but it made my adoptive father so angry that he revealed it all.
Song Jianan's cheeks suddenly burned. He bit his lower lip tightly and said tremblingly, "I didn't do that. I didn't lie, and I didn't steal the money."
The banquet hall suddenly became quiet. No one paid attention to his argument. Everyone looked in the same direction - the banquet hall entrance.
Even Xu Yu and the others didn't care what he said. They all had happy expressions on their faces. The person they had been looking forward to had finally arrived.
