Chapter 239 The Fiancée on a Marriage Contract
After finishing speaking, Song Beiyou sat down in an empty seat next to their table, and quite calmly picked up a small candied date from the candied fruit box and put it in her mouth.
He completely merged himself with them.
But one by one, they were caught off guard.
Zong Lanfang looked at her newly recognized biological daughter, and a glint appeared in the depths of her eyes.
Song Beiyou's appearance gave her a sense of relief, like being rescued from dire straits.
In particular, the powerful aura and composed demeanor she exuded when speaking to these wealthy ladies made her feel inexplicably safe.
This is completely different from her.
Zong Lanfang is not calm enough when things happen, and she often gets angry.
Her father, Zong Qiming, often said that she had low emotional intelligence, did not know how to control her temper, was easily taken advantage of, easily put at a disadvantage, and was easily led by the nose.
Because of this, she greatly admired those who won beauty with ease.
At this moment, Song Beiyou was already being admired by her, as evidenced by the fact that all the noble ladies had shut their mouths and dared not utter another word.
Those ladies of leisure didn't say a word; they simply didn't know how to start.
The words "bad temper and vengeful" from Song Beiyou made them all instinctively shrink back.
This person comes from Qingshuihe. What if they really did have mental problems back then?
Song Beiyou saw their expressions and reactions and found them quite ridiculous. "What? Aren't we going to talk anymore?"
Let's keep chatting.
Let me hear what impression I make on you; I'm very curious.
After he said that, the atmosphere at the scene became even more somber than before.
One of the ladies turned her gaze to Zong Lanfang, trying to get her to ease the tension.
But Zong Lanfang pretended not to see it and continued drinking her tea.
The silence lasted for a while before Mrs. Zeng, the birthday girl, broke the ice.
"Bei You, right? Seeing is believing. You are really beautiful and exquisite."
"Look, today is Auntie's birthday, so let's not argue about anything, okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Zeng turned to Zong Lanfang and said, "Afang, could you tell Beiyou that I'm about to blow out the candles and cut the cake?"
We can continue our discussion after the ceremony.
Zong Lanfang stammered, "I..."
Ever since she saw her mother's photo and learned what she looked like, she felt inexplicably sad whenever she saw Song Beiyou, and she didn't dare to make any demands on her.
I feel really bad about it.
Song Beiyou noticed this change clearly, and with a slight smile, he looked at Mrs. Zeng, who was celebrating her birthday today, and said, "Alright, Mrs. Zeng, it's your birthday today, so you can call the shots."
As he spoke, he took a small box out of his bag and handed it to Mrs. Zeng, saying, "Happy birthday, and may everything go well for you."
This amused Mrs. Zeng greatly. "Oh my, you even brought me a gift!"
There were quite a few young people at the event, but very few brought her gifts. Most of them came with their fathers and mothers, and the gifts were prepared by their elders.
People like Mu Niannian, who came to accompany Zong Lanfang, were not prepared at all except for dressing up carefully.
Song Beiyou's actions made the ladies present look at her in a new light, realizing that this child was nothing like the rumors suggested; she was very proper, generous, and sensible.
Mrs. Zeng opened Song Beiyou's gift in front of everyone, and when she saw that it was a string of incredibly shiny pearls, she beamed with joy.
She loved pearls the most, a fact known to everyone in the capital.
Good things are hard to come by; in the past two years, she has rarely encountered anything that catches her eye at first glance.
At this moment, the gift from Song Beiyou filled her with unconcealed joy, and disregarding the feelings of others, she exclaimed, "This is my favorite gift I received today."
Thank you, thank you, Youyou.
Even the way they address each other has become more intimate.
Song Beiyou, who was going to take an unconventional approach today, replied with a smile, "You're too kind, Madam. Pearls suit your temperament very well."
Yesterday, after promising Zong Lanfang that he would attend her birthday banquet, he asked Jia Buxiu to find out about Mrs. Zeng's preferences.
After learning that Mrs. Zeng liked pearls, he had this string of pearls prepared overnight.
Zong Lanfang was stunned for a moment, and for the first time felt that Song Beiyou was shining.
For the first time, I realized that I felt happy and proud when my child was praised.
It is commonly known as having a lot of face.
Look at the guests around you, all looking at Song Beiyou with admiration and amazement.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but smile, thinking that she must listen to her father and get along well with her biological daughter.
However, all of this was observed by Mu Niannian, who was standing to the side, and her jealousy began to surface again.
She would never allow such a thing to happen.
She suppressed her emotions, took out her phone, and sent a message: "Have you arrived yet? Song Beiyou has arrived."
If you keep dragging your feet like this, you'll end up with nothing.
After Mu Niannian sent out the message, Mrs. Zeng was in a great mood after receiving the pearl bracelet. She announced the start of her birthday banquet and had the maid bring out the cake.
A magnificent ten-story cake and champagne tower were placed together, accompanied by a cheerful birthday song, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
Everyone sang birthday songs for Mrs. Zeng and offered their blessings, creating a joyful atmosphere.
After singing the birthday song, Mrs. Zeng, the birthday girl, cut the cake.
Perhaps it was because Mrs. Zeng was so fond of the pearl bracelet that she gave the first slice of cake to Song Beiyou.
The Zeng family had been officials for generations and held considerable influence in the capital. Mrs. Zeng's family was wealthy, and many people wanted to marry into the Zeng family.
The "honor" of being the first to receive this piece of cake has made many people envious.
Now that it has been given to Song Beiyou, it has naturally displeased many people at the scene, some of whom have their displeasure written all over their faces.
Especially those ladies who just said that Song Beiyou wasn't him.
Song Beiyou didn't care about any of that, accepted it calmly, and picked up a fork to eat in front of everyone.
The high-quality animal cream melted in his mouth, filling his entire oral cavity with a milky aroma. Song Beiyou raised an eyebrow in satisfaction.
Zong Lanfang and Mu Niannian stood very close together, looking at Song Beiyou's appearance and said, "Niannian, do you think Beiyou is actually quite good, right?"
What do you think about me making it up to her in the future?
You could try to become good friends with her; she doesn't seem difficult to get along with.
Zong Lanfang secretly felt that if her adopted daughter and biological daughter became good sisters, she would be incredibly happy in the future.
Mu Niannian gritted her teeth in hatred, but said, "Sure, as long as Bei You is willing to accept me and doesn't mind that I took over her good life in the past, I can get along well with her and become sisters."
Zong Lanfang became even happier, "Great, great, I'm so lucky to have you all."
Mu Niannian forced a smile, her gaze fixed outside.
Just then, a figure walked in from outside.
He was a man dressed in a white suit, handsome and elegant, but with lustful eyes.
As soon as he arrived, he walked straight to Song Beiyou's vicinity, and in front of everyone, he looked her up and down with a smile, "This must be my fiancée from that marriage contract!"
