After seeing James leaving the table, those people who were already seated at their own table sighed and were disappointed. But most of them were shocked to the extreme.
Originally, they thought that Song Yu Han approached that table because he was dissatisfied with them and was going to tell them to leave the party. But who could have known that not only did he take a sit and strike a conversation with the two people in that table, he even stayed there even after one of them left.
This image left a huge impact on everyone.
Could it be that Song Yu Han only drove the other guy away and not the lady?
But if they were to follow this assumption, this was a bit too... romantic?
Their speculation frightened them.
Then, they couldn't help but glance at that table with only two people.
The probability of Song Yu Han driving away the other guy to have a solo time with the lady was highly unlikely!
There was absolutely no way that could have been the case, right?
Of course, it wasn't only the people who were around them that also thought of this and was bothered by Song Yu Han's inexplicable actions.
The others from the Song family who didn't hear Song Yu Han saying the word 'lover' stared at this scene with different reactions. Most of them were stunned, excited, and shocked. But one of them had a different feeling when they saw the two across from them.
Song Yongrui bit his lower lips. His eyebrows were gathered as he glared at the direction where Song Yu Han was sitting then before he shifted his gaze away from him to let it fall on the woman sitting next to him.
The woman's face was delicate, fair and had such beautiful facial features. One look and he could already tell that the woman was even much more exceptional than all the ladies he had played with. Even those little playthings from the entertainment world that he had favored in the past, Song Yongrui had no confidence that they would be able to stand out if they were to stand side by side with that lady.
With this, Song Yongrui's hatred and inferiority complex towards Song Yu Han intensified.
'Why?'
'Why was it always him?'
'Song Yu Han!'
On his side, his mother was also feeling complicated upon seeing such a scene. Adding to that complex feeling were the words that Song Yu Han revealed earlier. It made her feel extremely threatened and worried.
"This... Why is Xiao Han with that lady?" Cao Huiling could not help but grab Song Ruan's arm. Feeling that her question was a bit wrong, she corrected herself quickly, "I... I mean why did he suddenly go over there? If it's because of my question earlier, he doesn't have to bother anyone..."
Hearing his wife's words, Song Ruan turned silent.
Following Cao Huiling's sentence, he really felt that Song Yu Han was being childish and doing this out of spite to his wife. He became a bit more dissatisfied with this unfeeling son that he never got to be closed with over the years.
Seeing that her husband was starting to scowl, a faint curve on Cao Huiling's lips appeared.
"Xie Chi, go and drag your uncle back here." Song Ruan's voice was dignified and commanding.
Xie Chi, who was suddenly called over by Song Ruan to drag his older brother was easily frightened and looked like a rabbit caught by a wolf.
He pointed at himself while his other hand was holding a fork, his cheeks were puffed out like a hamster and his eyes were full of confusion.
He was only eating silently on one corner, why did he suddenly get shot at?
Besides, what did Song Ruan say just now? Dra...drag his uncle? That uncle over there who looked like he built an iron wall around himself and wanted nothing more than be left alone and not disturbed?
Hey, are you seriously pushing him off to an early death?
Xie Chi couldn't help but inwardly ask. But he couldn't verbally ask this to Song Ruan, who was his grandfather.
As for disobeying the other's order, Xie Chi thought it might be impossible.
Though he said this, Xie Chi still voiced out his complaints, like a child who didn't know his mistake, and said to Song Ruan, "Grandfather, uncle is having a good time there. Why would I, a child, even have to go there."
At his words, Song Ruan only sent him a cold glance and Xie Chi really shut up.
Okay, please forget he asked.
Thus, Xie Chi, who was very reluctant to let go of his fork, had to brave the deserted and cold winter lands to 'drag' his uncle back.
However, Xie Chi hadn't even stepped out of where he sat when a voice rang out behind him.
"Xiao Chi, stay where you are. Don't listen to your grandfather."
Xie Chi quickly turned his head and exclaimed, "Mom!"
A beautiful lady was approaching them slowly. She appeared to be a bit older than Song Yu Han, but the two shared a more distinct familiar appearance than Song Yongrui.
The woman who had arrived was Song Lihua, Xie Chi's mother and Song Yu Han's half sister. Also, the eldest daughter of Song Ruan from another woman.
Song Lihua appeared more dignified and elegant when she was strolling over their table. A shawl was hanging around her shoulder. It should have made her appear gentle and frail, but her innate fierce and firm personality saturated and overpowered that weak impression.
Once she stopped at the side of their table, she looked over to where everyone had been staring and softly laughed.
She turned her head slightly and stared at Song Ruan.
"Father is too worrisome. Already taking action when nothing is for certain..." Then, she deliberately shifted her gaze towards Cao Huiling and laughed, "Or is it that Auntie is worried about little brother's affairs again?"
Cao Huiling's smile on her lips stiffened and her eyes couldn't help but grow a bit fiercer when she looked at Song Lihua.
Cao Huiling: "What is Hua'er saying? Your father and I are only worried that Xiao Han is bothering that lady."
Song Lihua deepened her smile and no longer replied.
