Sweet Time Only for You: The Entanglement between Mr. Lu and Miss Song-Chapter 144: Encountering an Unbelievably Awful Family (Part 2)

Earlier, she specifically returned to the old house to find Song Huaizhong. He was out on a business trip, and she had no idea when he would be back.

Seeing him immediately reminded her of the billion-dollar inheritance her grandfather left her.

But the occasion and atmosphere were not right; this wasn’t the place to discuss family matters.

Moreover, as long as Jiang Lan and Song Anqi were present, a quarrel would be inevitable.

This wasn’t her home; it was the Ji Mansion, Mr. Ji’s birthday banquet, and she couldn’t lose her composure here.

So, she pretended not to see that troublesome family, turned around, and hooked her arm through Lu Jihan’s.

"Are you alright?"

Clearly, Lu Jihan had also noticed Song Huaizhong’s family.

Song Yinyin shook her head, "I’m fine."

"Do you want me to go over and say hello with you?"

"Forget it, no need."

She shrugged and gave a self-deprecating smile: "I guess they probably don’t want to see me either. Why should I warm their cold shoulder with my warm face?"

Lu Jihan nodded slightly, indicating it was up to her.

While they were talking, Jiang Lan, at the other end of the hall, had already seen Song Yinyin. She snorted coldly and tugged at Song Huaizhong.

"Old Song, look over there, that shameless girl is indeed with Lu Jihan." Jiang Lan gestured towards Song Yinyin with her mouth.

Song Huaizhong looked over and indeed saw Song Yinyin with her arm hooked through Lu Jihan’s, wearing a high-quality and elegant pink gown, gracefully mingling among the upper class.

"Humph!"

He frowned, snorting coldly through his nose: "She’s been back for how long, and she’s already gotten so close to Lu Jihan?"

It seems, just as Jiang Lan said, that girl Yinyin used some seductive tricks to lure Lu Jihan, causing Angie to be humiliated, lose face, and drop the contract.

After a slight pause, Jiang Lan’s provocative voice reached his ears again: "There aren’t too many people who came to the Ji Mansion, and I don’t believe she didn’t see us. Yet she doesn’t know any manners, and didn’t even come to greet us. It’s fine if she doesn’t care about me and Angie, but how can she ignore you, her father? If anyone sees this, they’ll say our Song Family lacks upbringing."

The more she spoke, the worse Song Huaizhong’s expression became.

This was exactly what Jiang Lan wanted. Watching Song Huaizhong’s face turn more and more ashen, Jiang Lan’s lips curled in a triumphant smile.

"Enough! Stop talking! If she doesn’t treat me as her father, then I don’t consider her my daughter!" Song Huaizhong said, brushing his sleeve and leaving.

Jiang Lan and Song Anqi exchanged a glance, with conspiracy-successful smiles in their eyes.

...

Lu Jihan led Song Yinyin around the Ji Mansion hall to greet people, and midway, they encountered Ji Tingfeng’s aunt, Ji Furong.

"Oh, Jihan, you’re here."

Lu Jihan nodded slightly in acknowledgment, "Hello, Aunt Ji."

"How’s your arm injury?"

"It’s much better now."

"That’s good." Ji Furong smiled lightly, then shifted her gaze to Song Yinyin, "Miss Song, right? We’ve met before."

"Hello, Doctor Ji."

Ji Furong nodded slightly, her gaze enviously fixed on Song Yinyin’s arm hooked through Lu Jihan’s, half-seriously, half-jokingly saying, "If only Tingfeng could be like Jihan, and find a partner early, how great that would be."

Song Yinyin blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed under Ji Furong’s gaze.

Lu Jihan’s bright eyes glanced over Song Yin’s slightly reddened cheeks and responded with a smile, "Don’t worry, Tingfeng is so outstanding, he’ll surely meet his ideal partner soon."

This implied acknowledgment that he and she were a couple.
