Chapter 64: Second Floor

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The majority of the guests had already gathered at the banquet, and it was about time for Gu Chen to make his entrance to greet everyone.

Just as anticipation filled the room, Gu Chen suddenly appeared on the second floor. Dressed in a sleek black suit, he exuded an air of aristocracy as he remarked, “I was beginning to fear that Miss Song wouldn’t grace us with her presence tonight.”

Song Fan regarded him coolly and inquired, “What would you do if I didn’t attend?”

Gu Chen’s smile deepened. “Then I’d have to personally come and invite Miss

Song.”

“You’d leave a room full of guests waiting?” Song Fan questioned.

Gu Chen responded nonchalantly, “Miss Song is an esteemed guest. They can afford to wait.

Song Fan couldn’t fathom how Gu Chen noticed her, but she was certain that he had ulterior motives for approaching her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the time to engage in such a conversation.

From the perspective of onlookers, Gu Chen and Song Fan appeared to be engaged in pleasant conversation, unaware of the subtle undercurrents at play. The lady in white continued, “They make such a perfect pair.”

“Yes, both of them are incredibly good-looking. Being together is simply a feast for the eyes,” Mrs. Fu sighed.

Of course, these words were spoken in hushed tones, not meant for Gu Chen’s ears. After all, Gu Chen was not known for his approachability. At his young age, he had amassed a staggering wealth, making him a true prodigy.

Even though Mrs. Fu adored her son greatly, she knew better than to compare Fu Nian to Gu Chen. She understood the boundaries of reality.

Song Yin, on the other hand, gazed upstairs with infatuation. This was her first encounter with the legendary Gu Chen, and she hadn’t expected him to be so strikingly handsome.

Compared to Gu Chen, Fu Nian paled in comparison. After all, one was merely the youngest son of a wealthy family, while the other was the heir to an aristocratic family in the capital.

This opulent mansion was just one of many properties under his name. The Gu Family’s ancestral estate, which had been passed down for a century, held countless treasures. If she could become the Mrs. of the Gu Family, it would be akin to possessing the world.

Such thoughts tempted Song Yin, but when she looked at Fu Nian, with whom she had invested so much effort, her resolve wavered. She and Fu Nian were on the cusp of a union. Opting for Gu Chen meant a longer, uncertain journey.

Glaring intensely at Song Fan, she silently cursed that Gu Chen was merely toying with her and would eventually cast her aside. Her resolve to become a member of the Fu Family as their daughter-in-law grew even stronger.

To outsiders, their relationship appeared complex, but to Song Fan and Gu Chen, each was an enigma. Little did they realize that love often stemmed from curiosity.

Song Kai looked at the two of them and promptly interjected, “The banquet is about to start, Mr. Gu. You should go and greet the guests.”

Song Kai couldn’t comprehend their expressions, but he instinctively felt the need to protect Song Fan. It was best for her not to casually interact with other men.

Song Ting had been silently observing the scene upstairs, his eyes concealing deep thoughts. He increasingly sensed that Song Fan had transformed, displaying qualities that surpassed his expectations.

She had not only become Eke’s teacher but also an honored guest of the Gu Family, personally received by Gu Chen. His sister appeared to have become a remarkable person.

Gu Chen descended the stairs and raised his glass, extending a warm welcome,

“Welcome to the banquet. Please enjoy yourselves.”

With that, he took a sip from his glass, maintaining his customary cold and reserved demeanor. On one hand, he possessed a cold personality, and on the other hand, he was wary that emotional fluctuations might adversely affect his health. No one was surprised by his actions.

Song Fan had remained seated on the second floor throughout the event and had not descended. She didn’t particularly enjoy such occasions, and her presence at this banquet was solely due to Gu Chen’s invitation.

Her mind drifted back to the incident involving the Tear of the Ocean. Upon seeing Gu Chen, an instinctual urge to leave surged within her.

Regardless of what Gu Chen might say, she felt compelled to comply. That was the reason she decided to attend the event.

With the Tear of the Ocean now in her possession, it was considered her win. Since she was financially secure now, she contemplated finding an appropriate moment to return it. She began to lose her thoughts.

When she snapped back to reality, she noticed another person on the second floor. He appeared to be a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a warm smile.

He greeted her as he met Song Fan’s gaze, “You must be Miss Song. I’m Gu

Chen’s second uncle.”

Instantly, Song Fan identified the person before her. Gu Chen’s second uncle, Gu Hai, had previously competed for the family head position. Behind his amiable smile lay a ruthless heart as he had once hired an assassin to target his nephew..
