Chapter 624 Not as Good as Her
Song Yunxuan and Lu Feng came back together a long time later.
Gu Changle said that she didn’t care who Lu Feng valued when she came. However, while Lu Feng and Song Yunxuan went out and didn’t come back for a long time, Gu Changle became a little antsy in her heart.
Gu Changle thought she was the most eye-catching person at the dinner. Unexpectedly, Song Yunxuan, who only wore a plain white dress with no features, grabbed the limelight from her as soon as she arrived at the dinner party.
Next to Gu Changle, the lady named Bai Jing also became restless while waiting.
“Is Song Yunxuan here for the dinner today?” Bai Jing asked a girl near her, “Look at the white dress she is wearing. It is like mourning clothes. Why didn’t Mr. Lu kick her out?”
When Bai Jing was angry, there was someone with a cool head.
While Bai Jing was speaking, the one ruthlessly said, “No matter what Song Yunxuan wears, Mr. Lu thinks it looks good, doesn’t he?”
Bai Jing felt these words harsh. She turned to look at the speaker unceremoniously.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw that Tan You was holding a glass of red wine and looking at her with a sneer.
Tan You was the heir of the Tan Family who had just taken power. Old Mrs. Tan had just passed away, and there were no highly respected people in the Tan Family who could suppress Tan You.
Bai Jing was not afraid of Tan You at all.
Moreover, she showed a contemptuous expression when she saw Tan You.
“It turns out that you are talking, little sister Tan.”
Bai Jing was just eighteen years old, but Tan You was a few years older than her.
She referred to Tan You as her younger sister. Everyone present could understand that Bai Jing looked down upon Tan You.
Gu Changle couldn’t help but smile when she heard Bai Jing calling Tan You like this.
Then, Gu Changle calmly waited for Tan You and Bai Jing to argue.
Everyone felt that Tan You would be annoyed after hearing such a form of address. However, Tan You’s expression didn’t change at all, and she said, “No wonder you didn’t know how to speak, Miss Bai. You have been away from Yuncheng for too long. You even forget the ages of the children of your family’s business partners.”
Bai Jing felt embarrassed, “I don’t remember that my family has a friendship with you, little sister Tan.”
“Uncle Bai should tell you well.”
Tan You looked at the red wine in her glass and said, “Hurry up and call Uncle Bai, lest you don’t know your status and talk nonsense. It’s OK to offend me. If you offend some important figures, it will be troublesome. Maybe the Bai Family will go bankrupt because of you.”
Tan You said these words to scare Bai Jing.
However, it was not only a bluff.
At this dinner, the two people that the Bai Family was the least able to offend were Song Yunxuan and Lu Feng.
However, Bai Jing, who was brainless, talked about Lu Feng with people around her at the beginning. And now she was gossiping about Song Yunxuan.
Neither Song Yunxuan nor Lu Feng was kind. After hearing Bai Jing’s words, they might not lose their temper on the spot.
However, they would definitely remember those absurd remarks. When they thought of these words at some point in the future, they would disrupt the Bai Family.
After listening to Tan You, Bai Jing still wore an expression of disdain.
However, Bai Jing felt a little scared in her heart. Before Tan You could continue, Bai Jing glanced at Tan You and found an excuse to leave. Then, Bai Jing kept her composure and left the hall to the restroom.
Tan You’s words made Bai Jing feel flustered.
In the restroom, Bai Jing entered a cubicle and called her family.
After Bai Jing’s father received the call, he asked her, “You talked nonsense at the party, didn’t you?”
“No... I didn’t...”
Bai Jing lacked confidence when she said these things.
It was because she not only talked nonsense at the dinner but also gossiped about the two people whom she shouldn’t talk about most.
After hearing Bai Jing’s denial, her father seemed relieved. He earnestly said to Bai Jing, “Jing, be sensible. Lu Feng is not someone who our Bai Family can offend. You must understand it. Don’t judge Lu Feng casually.”
“OK...”
Bai Jing was a little frightened. She didn’t dare to tell her father that she gossiped about Lu Feng as soon as she arrived and talked a lot with people around her.
When Bai Jing’s father heard his daughter’s answer, he told her, “You had been to the Natherlands for so many years, so you may not know anything about Yuncheng. Now the relationships among the rich families are delicate. After Gu Changge’s death, the Gu Family became the property of her husband, Shao Tianze. Now Shao Tianze holds all the power of the Gu Family. If possible, express your goodwill to Shao Tianze.”
Bai Jing twisted her eyebrows, thinking it a bit difficult, “I have to show my goodwill to... Mr. Shao?”
“Yes. Use your brain. Shao Tianze has a legacy left by the Gu Family. The Shao Family and the Chu Family are the most dominant families in Yuncheng. Chu Mochen has died. Even if Chu Mochen were not dead, he still would have Song Yunxuan by his side. Our Bai Family has no chance to get the Chu Family’s favor. However, the Shao Family is different. Shao Tianze’s wife, Gu Changge, is dead. There are no women around him now. If you can get Shao Tianze’s attention and love...”
Bai Jing’s father didn’t say all the following words.
But even if he didn’t say it, Bai Jing understood it very well.
Commercial marriage focused on benefits. Bai Jing understood that her father wanted to marry her to a husband who could bring countless benefits to the Bai Family in the future.
She nodded gently, “I will try my best, but...”
Bai Jing’s “but” made her father frown.
“But what?”
Bai Jing said, “But Gu Changle stands beside Mr. Shao all the time.”
“Gu Changle...”
Thinking of the rumor about Gu Changle and Shao Tianze, Bai Jing’s father was silent for a while. However, he didn’t take it seriously. He only said to Bai Jing, “Gu Changle is Gu Changge’s younger sister. She and her brother-in-law cannot be a couple. Relax. You don’t need to worry about whether Gu Changle is by Shao Tianze’s side.”
“OK.”
After hearing her father’s words, she understood a lot.
Bai Jing’s father asked her with complicated feelings, “Has Lu Feng noticed you?”
The Bai Family needed a strong backing. It would be great if it was Lu Feng.
That was why he took his daughter back from the Natherlands and gave it a try.
He had confidence in his daughter’s appearance. If his daughter could get Lu Feng’s attention, they might make further progress.
By then, the Bai Family could benefit from it.
However, Bai Jing said, “Lu Feng has been paying attention to Song Yunxuan.”
These words silenced Bai Jing’s father for an instant.
She was unwilling, “Song Yunxuan is not good-looking, and she doesn’t dress well. I don’t know how she attracted Lu Feng’s attention. It’s really strange.”
She complained that Song Yunxuan was not good-looking and not well-dressed.
But Bai Jing’s father did not agree.
To be honest, Song Yunxuan was not a raving beauty.
But her pride made her attractive.
She had a beautiful face, and her temperament was intimidating.
Bai Jing’s father had met this girl and knew that this girl had been with Chu Mochen for a long time.
How bad could the woman valued by Chu Mochen be?
After complaining, Bai Jing still felt uncomfortable and said, “At first, Lu Feng was talking with Tan You. However, as soon as Song Yunxuan arrived, Lu Feng immediately looked at Song Yunxuan. I heard that Song Yunxuan was Childe Chu’s lover before. Now Childe Chu just died, but she quickly starts looking for new men. She is fickle and dissolute. She is a...”
“Shut up!”
The father stopped his daughter’s unwilling grumble.
Bai Jing closed her mouth and felt surprised by her father’s attitude and reaction.
“Song Yunxuan is not a simple person. It’s normal for her to get Lu Feng’s attention. Watch your words. Don’t speak ill of Song Yunxuan outside. Now Song Yunxuan’s ability and influence are equal to Shao Tianze’s.”
These words made Bai Jing’s mouth widely open. She felt incredible, “Equal?”
Song Yunxuan was equal to Shao Tianze?
Bai Jing suspected that she had heard it wrong.
Her father seriously said, “They are indeed comparable. If you provoke Song Yunxuan or Lu Feng, our Bai Family will be miserable.”
Bai Jing’s forehead suddenly sweated.
She also became more afraid as she thought about it.
“Father, why didn’t you tell me these things earlier?” Bai Jing felt that a devastating disaster was coming.
After hearing what Bai Jing had said, her father felt his heart sank, “Have you offended Song Yunxuan?”
“No...”
She had spoken ill of Song Yunxuan. And she said these bad words in front of Song Yunxuan.
If Song Yunxuan was tolerant, that wouldn’t be regarded as an offense.
Bai Jing was not certain. Her father got angry, “Forget that you can’t compare to Song Yunxuan. You must not gossip about Song Yunxuan with other people. We can’t afford to provoke her now.”
Bai Jing nodded repeatedly, “OK. Father, don’t worry.”
Bai Jing said like this, but she believed in her heart that what she said had already plunged the Bai Family into crisis.
It was a very serious crisis, unable to solve.
She panicked and made an excuse to end the call with her father.
Then, she walked out of the cubicle with anxiety.
As soon as Bai Jing walked out of the cubicle, she saw that Tan You was standing in front of the mirror applying makeup.
Seeing Bai Jing’s pale face through the mirror, Tan You laughed and said, “Do you believe what I said now?”
Bai Jing’s face took on a ghastlier expression.
Tan You heard the conversation she had with her father in the cubicle just now.
