As agreed, Zhang Lin arrived at the Song Family's doorstep at the appointed time, carrying carefully selected gifts.
I had just gotten out of the car with the gifts when a Cullinan slowly drove up.
He recognized the car; it was Special Assistant Su's favorite to drive.
Although Special Assistant Su was just a special assistant to Brother Song Lan, his actual power was comparable to that of a vice president. Zhang Lin stepped forward with a smile, carrying the gifts.
As soon as the Cullinan stopped, Special Assistant Su got out of the car, and Zhang Lin immediately ran over like a lively little bird, calling out affectionately, " Brother Su Chi!"
When the car pulled up, Special Assistant Su saw Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin had Song Family since he was a teenager, Special Assistant Su had seen him quite a few times, but he really didn't want to have too much contact with him.
With a faint, polite smile, Special Assistant Su reached out and opened the back door.
Jiang Mingxi stretched out her long legs and got out of the car.
Zhang Lin's smile froze for a moment.
My heart was pounding faster.
Why is Jiang Mingxi here?!
What is he doing here?!
Jiang Mingxi got off the car, and Song Lan and A-Wang also got off from the other side.
Upon seeing Zhang Lin, A-Wang frowned; he felt like he had seen this person before.
" Brother Song Lan!" Zhang Lin's stiff expression flashed for a moment before he greeted Song Lan with a bright smile, then looked at Jiang Mingxi, "Hello Jiang Mingxi, I've been wanting to invite you to dinner for a while, but I haven't had time. I didn't expect to run into you here today."
After speaking with Jiang Mingxi, Zhang Lin smiled and looked at Song Lan, "Did Grandpa ask you to come back? He called me yesterday and said he missed me..."
In the past, although Song Lan was not close to Zhang Lin, she wouldn't have said anything cold to him because he was her grandfather's savior.
But now.
The peanut issue remains an obstacle.
They've even started tearing each other apart online.
Song Lan didn't understand why Zhang Lin could act as if nothing had happened.
With a cold expression, Song Lan walked around the car, stood beside Jiang Mingxi, and pulled her boyfriend into her arms. She interrupted Zhang Lin indifferently, "The little bit of affection we had left after you orchestrated the car accident and the peanut-eating incident is gone. What makes a person human, not a dog, is knowing their place."
Song Lan is always sharp-tongued when speaking to people she dislikes.
After uttering those words, Zhang Lin's face turned deathly pale.
She bit her lip. " Brother Song Lan, there was a misunderstanding about that. I can explain. I didn't do anything about the van..."
Song Lan didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so she put her arm around Jiang Mingxi and went straight inside.
"Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!"
"Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!"
"Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!"
The moment Jiang Mingxi followed Song Lan through the gates of the Song Family villa, something suddenly happened inside—
Firecrackers crackled and drums resounded.
Colorful flags fluttered in the breeze, and the crowds were immense.
At a glance, there were at least seventy or eighty people, holding large red and green flowers, standing on both sides of the road, jumping and skipping.
Jiang Mingxi was so startled that she almost jumped out the door.
A-Wang burst out laughing, "We cavemen don't do that, hahahahahaha!"
As the cheers subsided, the Song Family's butler, microphone in hand and dressed in a tuxedo, passionately announced, "Let's give Mr. Jiang Mingxi a warm round of applause! We hope he has a pleasant lunch here. Song Family, Mr. Jiang Mingxi Jiang Mingxi our most honored guest; we hope that tomorrow he will be our most honored family member!"
Snap snap snap snap snap!
A round of applause followed.
Zhang Lin stood at the back, his face pale, feeling a surge of anger rising from his heart to the top of his head.
Why should I?!
It was Jiang Mingxi's first visit, and the Song Family made such a big fuss to welcome her.
He saved Old Master Song's life back then!
He had never been treated like this before when he visited the Song Family!
Even the Song Family's butler looked at him with disdain and contempt.
Why does Jiang Mingxi get this kind of treatment?!
Moreover, Song Lan's sister-in-law didn't receive such treatment when she first visited the Song Family!
What makes Jiang Mingxi so special?
Amidst the growing jealousy in Zhang Lin's heart, the applause subsided, the cheerleaders retreated, revealing those behind them—
" Big Head?"
A-Wang spotted Old Master Song behind the cheerleaders at a glance, and everyone jumped up in shock, pointing at Old Master Song and shouting loudly.
After yelling.
His face immediately darkened, his eyes filled with rage, and a savage, murderous aura of a primitive man surged forth.
He grabbed Jiang Mingxi's hand, gritting his teeth, and said, " Xiaoxi, look at that Big Head on the shore of the Hai River —he deserves to die a horrible death!"
Jiang Mingxi's eyelids twitched, and she looked in the direction A-Wang was pointing.
At A-Wang's angry shout, the once lively scene instantly fell silent.
Just a moment ago, Zhang Lin was gritting his teeth in jealousy, but upon hearing these words, he shuddered violently and looked at A-Wang with eyes full of terror.
A-Wang's eyes blazed with fury, and he gave a sinister laugh, "You're still alive!"
Old Master Song:...
In that instant, Old Master Song panicked.
His second grandson finally found a wife, he's sure he won't be dragged down by her!
He even got a hyaluronic acid injection specifically for today, so why was he still recognized?
However, Old Master Song was a seasoned businessman. After a moment of panic, he quickly regained his composure and pushed his eldest grandson, Song Lan's older brother, out of the way.
Song Lan's older brother:???
I don't have Big Head!
Why did you push me?!
But since everyone was already out, I could only step forward and say, " A-Wang, hello, hello. I'm Song Lan's older brother, my name is Song Bai. There was a misunderstanding about what happened at the Hai River Lake. I'm really sorry. I sincerely apologize to you and Xiaoxi. Please calm down and give me a chance to talk inside, okay?"
The head of the Song Corporation adopted an extremely humble posture in front of Jiang Mingxi's friends.
Zhang Lin was both terrified and resentful!
My mind is filled with: Why me!
When he lived in the Song Family as Old Master Song's savior, Song Lan's elder brother never spoke to him in such a humble manner!
Why should this primitive man enjoy such treatment?
Thinking back to what happened back then, his father's arrangements were flawless, and the bodyguard was dealt with cleanly. Even if Jiang Mingxi and this primitive man said something, they couldn't produce any concrete evidence.
If you feel guilty, you'll only appear inferior.
Zhang Lin stepped forward, indignantly saying, " Jiang Mingxi, this is your first time visiting our home. Grandpa and my eldest brother went to great lengths to entertain you. Even my sister-in-law has never experienced such a scene."
How could you let your friend insult Grandpa like that?
Grandpa is an elder.
"I can tolerate everything else. Brother Song Lan likes you. Even if there are some misunderstandings, I'd rather suffer in silence for the sake of your relationship."
"But you shouldn't have done that to Grandpa."
"Please apologize to Grandpa immediately."
