Song Fan smiled sincerely and immediately took out her phone from her handbag, ready to contact her company.

“No, no need…” Mrs. Xu panicked. The jewelry designed by Kevin would each cost over ten million; she didn’t want to be the fool paying for that.

However, a few ladies who didn’t get along with Mrs. Xu immediately spoke up, seizing the chance to add fuel to the fire.

“Isn’t jewelry designed by Kevin supposed to be pre-ordered?”

“Master Kevin’s designs, how enviable. I’ve spent over ten million on jewelry from Lingdong and haven’t seen Kevin’s designs.”

“Yes, I heard they’ve been reserved long ago. I didn’t expect Miss Song to have saved them for Mrs. Xu?”

These women couldn’t stand Mrs. Xu’s usual arrogance. It was obvious Song Fan was setting her up, and they were happy to add a few words to see Mrs. Xu suffer.

Song Fan continued to smile, “Yes, Mrs. Xu pre-ordered from Lingdong before it was even launched. She is our first VIP customer spending over ten million. Of course, we reserve the best jewelry for her.”

Song Fan quickly instructed her team to prepare the jewelry, specifically requesting they bring a POS machine to ensure Mrs. Xu paid on the spot.

Mrs. Xu was furious but couldn’t say anything and had to smile while buying the jewelry. It was truly frustrating.

This might be the only worthwhile part of attending this banquet for Song Fan. Her smile became even more genuine, causing Gu Chen beside her to shake his head. It seemed this little girl was quite a money-grubber.

Seeing Gu Chen looking at Song Fan with such fondness, Mrs. Xu felt displeased. Her daughter was beautiful and had a strong family background, yet Gu Chen, who must be blind, didn’t notice Xu Wen.

Remembering the plan Xu Wen had told her about earlier, Mrs. Xu, who was initially opposed due to Gu Chen’s mother having saved her life, now felt that it was better to use some tricks to make Gu Chen her son-in-law rather than let him be with this unknown woman.

Mrs. Xu glanced at Xu Wen in the corner. Xu Wen nodded, and Mrs. Xu nodded back, signaling they were ready to act.

Mrs. Xu took a deep breath and picked up a wine glass handed to her by a server. She handed one each to Song Fan and Gu Chen, “To a successful collaboration!”

She raised her glass, and the people around watched. Song Fan cautiously sniffed the wine, confirming it was safe before taking a sip. Gu Chen, not wanting to refuse, also took a small sip, finally easing Mrs. Xu’s expression.

Meanwhile, Song Fan was pulled aside by a few ladies to talk about jewelry. Lingdong Jewelry had become the most popular high-end brand, and with Mr. Hua’s endorsement, many ladies were starting to pre-order jewelry.

Remembering Gu Chen’s words that these people were suckers, Song Fan’s smile deepened. This banquet was indeed fruitful for her.

Gu Chen chatted with a few industry friends for a while but suddenly felt a pain in his chest. Suspecting the poison was acting up, he left the hall and headed for the lounge.

The venue wasn’t owned by the Gu Family, but a server still led him to a VIP lounge.

Overcome with pain and dizziness, Gu Chen collapsed onto the bed without much thought.

The server immediately called, “Miss Xu, President Gu has been taken to the VIP lounge.”

Following the instructions on the phone, the server did not close the lounge door but turned and left.

However, he didn’t notice Gu Hai, who had been drinking heavily, watching from a corner. Though not completely sober, Gu Hai understood what was about to happen. Which Miss Xu dared to target Gu Chen? It could only be Xu Wen.

Licking his lips, Gu Hai realized that while Song Fan had the Song Family behind her, Xu Wen’s Xu Family was much more powerful. If he could form a connection with them, his influence in Gu Corporation would be assured.

He quickly headed downstairs, searching for Gu Zhuo.

Gu Zhuo had been reluctantly dragged to the banquet and had been chatting with friends in a corner, having drunk quite a bit.

“Hey, brat, come here. Let me introduce you to some uncles and elders.” Gu Hai smacked his head and dragged Gu Zhuo along.

Gu Zhuo looked puzzled but didn’t resist seeing it was his father.

Gu Hai felt fortunate that his recent insomnia meant he always carried sleeping pills. He had already dissolved some in a drink.

“Drink some juice to sober up. Don’t embarrass yourself later.” He handed the juice to Gu Zhuo.
