The Xu Family had always valued Xu Wen highly, and now that she was beginning to get involved in the company, they wanted everyone to know. Besides the inauguration ceremony at Xu Corporation, the banquet was equally important.

Xu Wen had meticulously dressed up for the event. She knew that today, she was the main attraction. Especially thinking about Gu Chen and Song Fan, a smile curved on her lips. There were some things she had to win.

As the banquet began, Xu Wen became the center of attention, basking in compliments. She grew more and more proud, realizing that becoming the heir to the company was the right path. Her current status was far above Song Fan’s.

Although Song Fan’s attendance with Gu Chen caused quite a stir, she remained very low-key, trying to minimize her presence.

She wasn’t used to such occasions and mainly cooperated with Gu Chen, wanting to see how he planned to outsmart people. The main actor in this scheme was already surrounded by people. The Gu Family from the capital was an absolute powerhouse, and Gu Chen attracted more attention than Xu Wen.

Xu Wen’s grandfather was particularly delighted to see Gu Chen.

“Xiao Chen, long time no see. I hear you’ve been quite busy lately,” Old Master Xu said, looking him up and down with growing satisfaction.

Xu Wen and Gu Chen had been engaged since childhood. Although there had been some recent unpleasantness, he believed that men should prioritize their careers, and the marriage alliance was inevitable.

Gu Chen responded politely. He knew Old Master Xu’s intentions, so he didn’t want to seem too familiar.

Xu Wen, holding up her dress, slowly approached. “Grandpa, what are you talking about with Brother Chen?”

She affectionately took Old Master Xu’s arm. “Brother Chen, thank you for coming to my banquet. We should collaborate more in the future!”

Although Gu Chen nodded coldly, her enthusiasm didn’t wane. Today, she had a trump card.

Last time, when she stayed over at Xia Yu’s place, he had drunkenly mentioned Gu Chen’s poisoning and hinted at a cure. Seizing the opportunity, Xu Wen had pried for details, learning that the snow saffron could neutralize Gu Chen’s poison.

Looking at Gu Chen now, her eyes were full of excitement. If Gu Chen wanted to live, he would have to marry her. Then, she would be the rightful Mrs. Gu.

Gu Chen was puzzled by her sudden change in demeanor. After bidding farewell to Old Master Xu, he went to find Song Fan.

Song Fan couldn’t stand the socializing and had slipped out to the garden for some fresh air.

“Miss Song?” A man’s voice with a peculiar accent startled her.

Song Fan turned quickly, remembering that Peter would be here today. Sure enough, a man who bore a striking resemblance to Jason stood before her. She was certain this was Peter.

“Hello, I’m Peter, Charlie and Jason’s older brother.” Peter sat opposite Song Fan, looking pale and speaking weakly.

Recalling that Cao Lei had damaged one of his kidneys, Song Fan’s gaze involuntarily drifted to his waist.

“It seems you’ve met that little thug Cao Lei?” Peter smiled politely, but there was a cruelty in his eyes. “But I heard he was shot in the head, bang!”

He mimicked a gun with his hand, making a shooting gesture. “I heard you were there, Miss Song. I envy you, seeing such a beautiful scene.”

Listening to his twisted words, Song Fan had no desire to stay. She wanted nothing to do with the Brown family. “Mr. Brown, excuse me, but I need to return.”

But Peter grabbed her hand tightly, his eyes burning with intensity. “Miracle-working doctor Ming Jing can save me, right?”

Peter had spent a fortune investigating her. He was astonished to find that this frail-looking girl had such a legendary background. However, he only cared if she could cure him.

“You won’t die from having one kidney.” Song Fan tried to shake off his hand, but Peter tightened his grip.

“No, I will die.” Peter wore a pained expression. “My other kidney is failing. Only the miracle-working doctor and that person can save me.”

Song Fan didn’t understand. Kidney transplant surgeries could be performed in any well-equipped hospital. Why did he insist on the miracle-working doctor? And who was the person he mentioned?

Before she could ask, she was pulled into a warm embrace.

Gu Chen held her close, looking down at Peter. “Mr. Brown, isn’t this rather rude to a lady?”
