The farce finally came to an end, and Song Fan had no intention of continuing to be entangled after receiving the money. If it weren’t for Meng Yu going too far, she really wouldn’t want to deal with this matter. However, she needed to carefully consider how to handle the return of Kevin, who seemed to be extremely angry.

“Are you so happy with just ten million dollars? This doesn’t seem like your style, does it?” Gu Chen walked over to her, handing her a glass of juice.

Song Fan smiled and then put Meng Yu’s card in her handbag. “Who wouldn’t be happy about making money? Moreover, it disrupted certain people’s plans, didn’t it?”

Originally, Meng Yu intended to make Meng Xia amaze everyone. Plus, with the name of the adopted daughter of the Song family, even if she couldn’t match Gu Chen, finding a powerful backer would be no problem. Especially since Meng Xia was not yet 20 years old, these years were crucial for her.

Unfortunately, Meng Xia was now wearing a bright red dress that didn’t match her at all. Everyone looked at her with mocking eyes, and she wished she could find a hole to hide in. How could she dare to go out and socialize with others?

Gu Chen didn’t care about these petty actions between women. As long as it didn’t harm Song Fan, he was quite pleased. He chuckled. “Indeed, no one can match the prowess of you, Miss Song. I’ll trouble you later during the event, okay?”

Song Fan raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue. She was well aware that Gu Chen’s banquet this time was more than just a small celebration.

“Most of the guests are here today, but there’s an unexpected visitor.” He nodded toward a slender, blond man on the other side.

Song Fan followed his gaze and exclaimed, “Charlie? Is Brown Group planning to enter A City?”

Although she hadn’t formally met Charlie, during her time as a mercenary, she received various instructions from Brown Company, and Charlie was the son of the chairman. He appeared to be a playboy but was a cunning person. Some mercenary teams even suffered losses in dealings with him.

However, Brown Group was somewhat strange. Its business scope was very broad, even involving household items and children’s toys. But its annual sales did not seem very high. Yet, the group had subsidiaries worldwide and intimidated many companies. Especially in some war-torn countries, Brown’s logo was everywhere, but Song Fan had never directly dealt with them.

Gu Chen wasn’t surprised that she knew Charlie. Since learning about her past activities, anything that happened to her seemed normal to him.

“I didn’t invite him; he came with Gu Hai. Supposedly, he just wanted to visit our country and happened to land in A City,” Gu Chen explained.

“Happened to? Well, there’s no such thing as a coincidence in this world.” Song Fan didn’t believe this explanation at all. If it were a traveler or an artist, she might consider it a coincidence, but not Charlie—he had a purpose.

Upon thinking about the recent attempt on Gu Chen’s life by foreign mercenaries, Song Fan squinted her eyes and stared at Charlie. She had a premonition that he came for Gu Chen.

Charlie also felt someone watching him and turned to see the beautiful woman next to Gu Chen.

He smiled, approached them, and lifted his glass. “Dear Mr. Gu, thank you again for allowing me to attend such a unique banquet. I’m very grateful.”

He lightly clinked glasses with Gu Chen, who nodded in acknowledgment.

Then Charlie pretended to be surprised and said, “Who is this beautiful lady?

Could she be your rumored fiancée? The mother of your future child?”

His gaze inadvertently glanced at Song Fan’s belly. Although it was a glance, Song Fan caught it.

She calmly touched her belly and looked at Gu Chen with a gentle expression.

Gu Chen almost couldn’t hold back his laughter. Charlie frowned slightly, apparently surprised that this woman, who he thought was innocent and sweet, didn’t react as expected. “You’re right; this is Song Fan, Miss Song of the Song family.”

“Hello, beautiful Miss Song, I’m Charlie.” Charlie extended his hand, introducing himself. “Have you heard of Brown Group? I’m just a playboy enjoying life under Brown Group’s umbrella.”

“Hello.” Song Fan shook his hand lightly, not saying much.

Charlie always thought highly of his charm, coupled with the background of the Brown Group, enough to make all women swoon. Unexpectedly, the woman in front of him remained unmoved.

Charlie took a deep look at Song Fan. If she wasn’t truly innocent, she might be a woman with unpredictable intentions..
