Li Feile was obviously fighting on Song Hanzheng's side.
So Song Hanzheng glanced at her.
It was just a faint glance, but it made Li Feile even more excited.
"I know I'm an outsider, but I still can't help but say something fair."
"Since childhood, Brother Hanzheng has always relied on his own abilities to speak for himself. Even when he joined the company, he didn't ask you for help, Uncle Song. Are you still not satisfied with such an excellent son?"
Jiang Liuyue thought to herself: Oh no! Li Feile is also good at praising him.
This is stealing her job.
Wait, no.
She was the one trying to steal the other party's job.
Song Tianqi could accept being scolded by his son, but he could not accept a woman from a declining family who was still messing around in the entertainment industry pointing at his nose and scolding him.
His face darkened, and he immediately ordered, "Call security and throw her out!"
A trace of panic flashed across Li Feile's face.
She looked at Song Hanzheng in fear.
"Brother Hanzheng, I don't want to leave."
Song Hanzheng cast a cold glance at her.
The security guards who were about to make a move paused.
He asked, "How did you get here today?"
Li Feile looked a little embarrassed.
However, she still glanced at Lin Yizhou and told the truth:
"Yizhou invited me."
"Oh." Song Hanzheng slowly nodded, then looked at Lin Yizhou and sneered, "You are quite capable, aren't you? You just returned to the country and you've already reconnected with Li Feile."
"Let's do it this way. Whoever brought her here can take her away."
Li Feile didn't expect Song Hanzheng to be so cold to her.
Just now, she had spoken up entirely for his sake.
Yet he completely ignored it.
Her gaze then fell on Jiang Liuyue beside him.
That woman had the face of a good, obedient girl and looked completely harmless. She hadn't said a single word since coming in, yet she managed to make Brother Hanzheng protect her like this.
A trace of unwillingness flashed in Li Feile's eyes.
"What about her?" Li Feile pointed at Jiang Liuyue and said, "Brother Hanzheng, she is your female companion, but she hasn't said a single word to help you until now."
"You want me to leave, but you aren't driving her away."
"Is that fair?"
Song Hanzheng was taken aback.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Liuyue, who was standing beside him, blinking her big eyes in confusion.
Oh, right.
He had brought her here to cause trouble.
But this little girl was something else, obediently standing here without making a sound, acting like a background wall.
"Wait," Song Hanzheng suddenly spoke up.
A hint of joy flashed in Li Feile's eyes.
He then looked at Song Tianqi and said:
"Old man, aren't we having a meal? If you drive the guests away, what is there left to eat?"
"If you don't want me to stay, I'll leave right now."
Song Tianqi's eyes flickered as if he were suppressing his anger.
After a moment, he waved his hand and said:
"Sit down."
"It's rare for you to come back; there's no need to argue like this."
"I just want to have a peaceful meal."
Peaceful?
Song Hanzheng sneered.
As long as he was here, it definitely wouldn't be peaceful.
Everyone took their seats.
Song Hanzheng naturally sat in the first seat on the left.
When it was Jiang Liuyue's turn, deciding where to sit became a problem.
Because the first seat on the right was Lin Mei, and the second was Li Feile. This seating order also symbolized status.
Jiang Liuyue was just about to walk over to the third seat on the right when her wrist was tugged by the man.
Song Hanzheng tapped the table at Lin Yizhou.
His tone was completely unceremonious as he said:
"You, move back a seat."
The implication was that he wanted Jiang Liuyue to sit next to him.
Song Tianqi was just about to get angry.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yizhou was very cooperative. He squeezed out a faint smile at Jiang Liuyue.
Then he asked the servant to move his dining plate back.
The seats on the left side then became Song Hanzheng in the first seat, Jiang Liuyue in the second, and Lin Yizhou in the third.
She was sitting right between the two brothers.
The stepmother, Lin Mei, cast a gentle glance at Jiang Liuyue.
She suddenly spoke up.
"By the way, we were so busy chatting just now that I forgot to ask."
"Hanzheng, who is this little girl?"
As expected of a woman from a wealthy family.
Was that chatting just now? It was obviously an argument.
The art of language.
Song Hanzheng twitched the corners of his lips.
"Girlfriend."
As the word fell.
The expressions of the several people at the dining table changed simultaneously.
Li Feile showed shock, disbelief, and unconcealable jealousy.
Lin Yizhou was taken aback, his eyes flickering obscurely, hiding his emotions.
Song Tianqi frowned slightly.
His falcon-like eyes landed on Jiang Liuyue like a searchlight, scrutinizing her as he asked:
"What is your name? Which family's daughter are you?"
Jiang Liuyue had been silent until now and finally had the chance to speak.
As a result, that annoying Li Feile insisted on answering first.
"Uncle Song, she is just a minor actress in our company named Jiang Liuyue."
Song Tianqi's face darkened.
He shot her an intimidating sidelong glance, exuding a strong aura.
"Did I ask you?"
Li Feile immediately withdrew her gaze and lowered her head as if frightened.
She didn't dare to make a sound.
Jiang Liuyue slowly opened her mouth and said in a very small voice, "Mhm."
Song Tianqi initially thought he hadn't heard clearly.
"What?"
Jiang Liuyue gave another: "Mhm."
Song Tianqi's face became a bit ugly.
His gaze bypassed her and looked at Song Hanzheng.
He said with some dissatisfaction:
"Is this the person you found? Her voice is like a mosquito when she speaks, I can't even hear her clearly."
"Such a woman cannot enter the doors of our Song family!"
Song Hanzheng naturally knew that Jiang Liuyue was doing it on purpose.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly.
He felt satisfied with her attitude.
He said in a cheerful tone:
"Is it any of your business?"
Song Tianqi choked with anger and retorted, "I am your father, how is it not my business?"
Song Hanzheng sneered coldly.
"Oh, whatever."
"What do you mean 'whatever'?!" Seeing that Song Tianqi was about to lose his temper again, Lin Mei hurriedly served him some food and coaxed, "Eat, eat. The doctor said your blood pressure has been high lately."
"Why is my blood pressure high? Isn't it because of this brat!"
Not only did Song Tianqi not calm down, but he pointed at Song Hanzheng, his face full of displeasure.
Jiang Liuyue seemingly didn't speak.
In reality, she silently took in the expressions of these people.
Lin Yizhou's biological mother, Lin Mei, was not a simple character.
Seemingly tolerant, she was actually subtly badmouthing Song Hanzheng at every turn.
Sure enough, wealthy family struggles.
A life-and-death matter.
Everyone was eyeing the property and family business.
Song Hanzheng suddenly put down his chopsticks.
He unleashed his ultimate move.
"In the past, Grandpa said he wouldn't let this woman enter our doors." He pointed at Lin Mei and said, "Did you listen?"
Then he pointed at Lin Yizhou.
"In the end, she held this little one and sat crying at the door."
"Grandma was soft-hearted, so she let them in."
"Don't think I don't know anything!"
The atmosphere at the scene became tense once again.
With those past events brought up again in front of so many people, Song Tianqi's face burned.
He felt both ashamed and embarrassed.
He slammed the table and said:
"That is a matter for us adults, you stay out of it!"
Song Hanzheng sneered in response.
"What kind of girlfriend I find is also my business, so you stay out of it!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head, his gaze falling on Jiang Liuyue.
It seemed he wanted to find her approval.
Jiang Liuyue also put down her chopsticks.
She raised her head.
Revealing a pure and innocent face.
"Exactly!"
