Fall In Love With A Substitute

When the banquet officially started, Song Sen, the Patriarch of the Song family, slowly walked down from the arc-shaped stairs.He has maintained a good physique in middle age, wears glasses, has the elegant temperament of a scholar, and usually attracts the attention of a group of people.

But this time, all eyes fell on his side, holding his daughter, Song Pianlu.

Song Sen's feelings about Song Pianlu's daughter are very subtle.

It's not that he has no father-daughter relationship, but Song Pianliu has been lost for more than ten years, not three or five years. The throbbing of being a father for the first time has long been unrecognizable and shallow after time passes.

Not to mention that besides his own small family, he is also the patriarch of the Song family and the head of the Song Group. He doesn't have much time to cherish a regret like his wife does.

He sent people to look for it every year, but he didn't pay much attention to it if he couldn't find it. It was just a routine expense of the Song family.

When the niece came and said that she had found an orphan who was suspected to be her daughter, Song Sen didn't take it seriously, and even told his wife Liu Ying not to get too excited, the possibility of her being her daughter was unlikely.

When his wife personally sent the paternity test to Song Sen, Song Sen really took this matter as an important matter.

Naturally, Song Sen would not treat his only blood badly, and because of guilt, he pampered his daughter materially to the bone.

But to say that there is a bit of truth in it... In short, no wife cares so much for her daughter.

But at this moment, Song Pina was wearing a pure white pearl V-neck floor-length dress, holding his arm and slowly walking into the banquet hall.

She is tall and straight, dignified and beautiful, her etiquette is not inferior to any of the pampered daughters present, the smile on her lips is just right, friendly and gentle, and her demeanor even surpasses everyone.

Only then did Song Sen feel the pride and pride of being a father, and he liked this daughter who was halfway home even more.

At this banquet surnamed Song, wherever Song Sen took his daughter, they were full of compliments, and even his old friends who used to talk to him said:

"As expected of your girl, even after living abroad for so many years, she looks amazing. My youngest son's marriage has not been settled yet, do you think about it?"

Not only for boasting, but also after seeing her once, she rushed to make a daughter for the younger generation in the family.

Song Sen glanced at his slim daughter with a smile, and saw that she had a proper daughter's shyness on her face, and she was generous without showing timidity, and she was even more satisfied in her heart.

"The daughter who has just been brought back, how can she be willing to marry, you are trying to gouge out her mother's heart."

"That's right, my siblings will settle accounts with me later, haha."

After Song Sen finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Song Pianlu: "Come on, this is your Uncle Wen."

"Uncle Wen." Song Pianyi greeted the elders as she said.

"Don't be polite to me, niece. Uncle Wen's career is not as big as yours. There are a few young artists in his company. If you are interested in the entertainment industry, uncle will call someone to talk to you."

Song Pianlu responded freely, and also said in a joking and relaxed tone:

"I'm afraid that if Uncle Wen orders it, my house won't be able to accommodate your entertainers."

Wen Qing was taken aback for a moment, then said to Song Sen with a hahahaha smile: "You girl, you are smart, as you like."

Song Pianlu's words echoed vividly, without being stage frightened, and she faintly revealed her understanding of Wen Qing, a guest, without appearing too ostentatious.

If it is put on the juniors next to them, in their eyes, they can only exaggerate "can talk", but if it is put on Song Pianlu, who has just returned to the wealthy circle, it is really eye-catching.

No matter how happy Song Sen was in his heart, he would not show it on his face. He just looked at his daughter dotingly:

"My daughter, naturally follow me."

The scene of Song Sen taking his daughter and talking happily with Wen Qing, an oligarch in the entertainment industry, was noticed by many people.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of several people becoming more and more enthusiastic, Xi Zihua couldn't help but stop the original topic, and whispered to Nie Lingbo:

"It seems Patriarch Song is very satisfied with Miss Song."

Nie Lingbo didn't answer, Xi Zihua knew that this meant approval, and then said: "That's fine, the more he likes this daughter, the more he will treat Xi Heng..."

"What did Song Pianlu say, you continue." Nie Lingbo said suddenly.

"Oh." Xi Zihua withdrew his thought of eating melons, and continued the topic that was only opened above, "She asked me, if she helped me get rid of Xi Heng, what would the Xi family say."

"I said that the Xi family will be friends of the Song family in the future." Xi Zihua rubbed his nose, finding it hard to tell. After all, the Song family did not miss such an insignificant friend as the Xi family.

But Song Pianlu didn't know whether she didn't understand how high her family's status was, or how good the Xi family was now, so she agreed, and this unequal deal was reached.

Thinking about it now, Xi Zihua still felt a little guilty.

"Miss Song said..." Xi Zihua recalled.

Under the bright lights in the dressing room, Song Pianlu rolled her eyes and said with a light smile:

"If tonight goes well, we'll be friends soon."

Song Sen walked around with his daughter to recognize people all night, it seemed that he loved her very much, everyone said so.

Fu Siyuan and Bai Rong were the most anxious. No matter how confident they were, they did not dare to say in front of Song Sen, "Today is a beautiful day. I will bring your daughter's ex-boyfriend to see her." It is estimated that Song Sen can directly ask someone to fork them out.

But seeing that more than half of the banquet was over, Song Sen didn't intend to leave the venue temporarily. In the future, Song Pianyi might go back to rest.

Bai Rong gritted her teeth and said, "Siyuan, take Xiao Heng to say hello."

At least let Song Pianlu see Xi Heng and know that he is here for her today.

Bai Rong knew very well that girls would like this, so she told Xi Heng to let Song Pianlu see his affection for her, and she didn't want any real progress tonight, but it couldn't be in vain.

Xi Heng frowned slightly, and Bai Rong said again: "Got it? Be good."

Fu Siyuan said: "Aren't you with us?"

Bai Rong's brows darkened: "My identity...is not suitable."

At this moment, what floated in the hearts of the family of three was the scene where they were driven out by Song Xuehen.

Bai Rong's identity could not be put on the stage, so she dared not appear in front of the well-mannered Song family, for fear of spoiling her son's impression.

Looking at his mother, Xi Heng became more determined. If he wanted Song Pianliu to return to him, what would Song Xuehen be then? His parents would surely pass the Song family's threshold with dignity!

With this in mind, he followed Fu Siyuan to the front of Song Sen and Song Pina, and Fu Siyuan greeted Song Sen respectfully:

"Mr. Song, I am Fu Siyuan from the Xi family, Xi Wei is my wife, and this is my son, Xi Heng."

He said this vaguely, as if Xi Heng was born to Xi Wei, it can be said that he took great pains.

Xi Heng followed closely behind, and said politely:

"Mr. Song."

Immediately afterwards, he faced Song Pianlu with a gentle voice:

"Pina, congratulations on finding your family."

On this occasion where all the Song family members were in town, Xi Heng didn't dare to provoke Song Pianlu in front of Song Sen. He showed the most gentle and charming smile and the most gentle tone, expecting Song Pianlu to accept this blessing.

But who knows, after he finished speaking, Song Pianlu's expression changed.

Song Sen noticed it immediately, not because he was so meticulous, but because Song Pianliu's hand on his arm suddenly tightened.

Song Sen naturally didn't think it was Song Pianlu's fault when his daughter, who had been performing well all night, suddenly lost his composure. He patted his daughter's hand reassuringly, and looked displeasedly at the young man in front of him.

Song Sen has been a master for so many years, how could Xi Heng be able to handle his power, Xi Heng almost lost his footing with just a scrutinizing look.

Xi Heng was sweating nervously on his back, his face was still calm, he forced a smile and said:

"I just came to congratulate Miss Song tonight."

He didn't dare to call that "Pianpian" again to show his intimacy with Song Pianpiao.

Song Sen didn't pay much attention to this young man. With his old-fashioned eyes on people, after a short scrutiny, he saw that this man's confidence was vain, and it was really not worth looking at.

Song Sen asked his daughter directly: "Pianle, do you know him?"

Song Pianlu maintained her demeanor, but her voice was full of surprise and bewilderment: "Yes...but he shouldn't be here."

She looked at Song Sen: "Father, I didn't send him an invitation letter."

"My invitation letter is for Ms. Xi Wei's own daughter, Xi Zihua. He shouldn't be here—including this Mr. Fu. I don't know him."

Fu Siyuan didn't dare to interrupt at first, but when he heard Song Pianlu's last sentence, he became anxious:

"Xi Wei and I are husband and wife, Xi Zihua is my daughter, inviting her is the same as inviting me."

"We came to congratulate Ms. Song with good intentions, but Ms. Song declined our kindness with such a reason, which really hurt the friendship between our two families. Is this how Ms. Song behaves?"

Fu Siyuan is used to putting himself on the right side and the other side on the wrong side. He waited for him to stand on the moral high ground and criticize before he realized that the two people in front of him were not something he could blame.

His cold sweat broke out suddenly.

Song Sen looked at him as if he was looking at a dead person, without wavering or moving, very indifferent.

"You were the first to accuse my daughter at my dinner party."

The daughter's hand has not been relaxed, but she still stubbornly maintains a perfect posture, the dignity of the Song family.

She looked at him with blank and dependent eyes, which made Song Sen feel that he was the strongest support for his daughter and should take up the responsibility of being a father.

Song Sen loves his daughter as much as he hates Fu Siyuan.And he keeps saying that his daughter has no way of life, isn't he implying that she has no tutor?

My daughter has been homeless for many years, can someone teach her?This sentence aroused Song Sen's remorse at the beginning, and made him feel that Fu Siyuan was really hateful.

The turmoil at this time has already attracted everyone's attention, and many people form a circle around them vainly, not daring to talk more, but they all cast their eyes on it.

Song Sen followed the trend. He looked around and spoke loudly:

"To let everyone know." He reached out and nodded Fu Siyuan in front of him, "My Song family will never welcome this Mr. Fu."

The whole room was silent.

Immediately, there was a buzz of discussion.

Fu Siyuan felt dizzy for a while, feeling ashamed and indignant, his heart was on fire.

"Mr. Song, what do you mean?"

Bai Rong didn't bother to hide anymore, and hurried over to stand with Fu Siyuan: "Mr. Song, what did we do wrong, you want to say this to everyone?"

She asked excitedly, and her body kept trembling.It's not out of anger, it's in fear.

Why did Song Sen tell everyone?What is he expressing?

The weight of saying this from Song Xuehen's mouth is completely different from that from Song Sen's mouth——

Song Sen represents the Song family!

And under the leadership of the Song family, how many people will also list themselves as refused contacts in order to show their goodwill to the Song family?

Xi Heng clenched his fists tightly and stared at Song Pianlu, his eyes turned red with anger.

"Is this how you treat me? I just want to see you, why are you so heartless?"

Liu Ying came over in a hurry, and saw a young man forcefully questioning her precious daughter with this sentence.

But before she passed through the crowd, she vaguely heard them discussing, and heard a few words of "ex-girlfriend" and "stand-in". Liu Ying, who had never seen anything in middle age, immediately understood a little bit.

The hidden meaning here inspired her, a frail and sick lady, to rush to her daughter to protect her like a female animal protecting her calf.

"Who are you? Are you worthy of questioning my daughter?" Liu Ying blocked her daughter behind her and glared at Xi Heng with stern eyes.

She suppressed her too sharp voice and snorted:

"I heard that my daughter was bullied a lot when she was away. I haven't had time to investigate. Mister, you're not one of them, are you?"

Liu Ying said that she lied to Xi Heng, but when she saw Xi Heng's face stiffen instantly, Liu Ying's anger suddenly became even higher.

Behind her came her daughter's support and earnest comforting voice:

"Calm down your anger, be careful that your body will be ruined by anger, it's not worth it."

Liu Ying felt sour in her heart.

The daughter must have suffered a lot because of her status when she was outside all these years.Seeing that she was kicked on the nose and face when she returned home, what's the reason?

With her here, no one would want to let their daughter suffer any more grievances!

But at this time, Liu Ying still didn't understand the reason of the incident, this was not the time to make a big fuss, and she couldn't ruin her daughter's reputation for the three or two things in front of her.

Liu Ying suppressed her breath, and called out loudly:

"Steward, sir, you don't welcome these people, and don't invite them out yet."

Liu Ying's words changed the reason for resisting these people from Song Pianliu to Song Sen's likes and dislikes.

No matter what the nature is, if the Song family defines it like this on the surface, no one will raise objections on the surface without seeing it in the future.

The butler came in a hurry with security.

The crowd was in a commotion, making room for the security guards to take away the guests that the host did not welcome.

Anbao was already standing beside Xi Heng, Fu Siyuan beside him looked ashen, and Bai Rong looked dazed and embarrassed, Xi Heng couldn't see these.

With pain in his eyes, he looked at the woman behind Liu Ying and Song Sen without blinking.

That woman, a few months ago, was his compliant girlfriend, a poor orphan who always looked at him with adoring eyes and gave him great satisfaction.

She left herself and became more and more glamorous.

She is the daughter of the Song family, and she is indifferent and merciless to herself. Even now, she wants to watch her father drive her family out!

At this moment, Xi Heng could no longer lie to himself that all Song Pianlu did was because of losing his temper.

Song Pianlu doesn't love him anymore.

Song Pianlu looked at her with extremely calm eyes, but like a bucket of icy water pouring down her head, Xi Heng was completely woken up.

No, she even hated herself.

After Xi Heng found out that he was in love with Song Pianliao, he realized that Song Pianliao hated him.

Unwillingness mixed with unspeakable heartache made him roar:

"Song Pianju—"

"Move faster." A soft reprimand came from his side, with a lazy voice, "Don't let those who can't get on the stage disturb the guests."

Xi Heng's voice was interrupted, he froze in the air, he turned his head stiffly, it was Nie Lingbo.

Nie Lingbo passed him, her back was straight, she turned her back to him, and said to Liu Ying:

"Aunt Liu, are you still feeling well? I have already notified Dr. Lin to come to the main house."

Under Nie Lingbo's urging, Anbao didn't dare to delay any longer, and took several people out of the banquet hall forcefully.

The sound of their conversations, the glamorous banquet hall with fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples, and other guests pointing and pointing, became farther and farther away from Xi Heng's family.

Liu Ying said to Nie Lingbo: "You have a heart."

Song Sen also said in a gentle tone: "Lingbo, I let you see a joke."

"How could..."

Xi Heng couldn't really hear what was said later.

The cold night consumed him.

Dr. Lin is a hired family doctor who takes care of Liu Ying's body on a daily basis.With Dr. Lin around, Liu Ying's body can get the best care.

Dr. Lin suggested that Liu Ying take a nap first, so Song Pianlu persuaded Liu Ying to take a rest first, and then talk about Xi Heng.

She supported Liu Ying to lie down, turned on the aroma lamp for sleeping, exited lightly, and closed the door of the room.

Leaning her back outside the door, Song Pianliao lowered her head and closed her eyes, thinking about the next move.

She sorted out the order and was going to find Song Sen, but when she looked up, she realized that Nie Lingbo was standing not far away.

In a long dark brown corridor, the wall lamps were dimly lit. Nie Lingbo stood a meter or two away from her, his eyes fixed on her, and he stood there for an unknown amount of time.

"Lingbo." Considering Liu Ying in the room, Song Pianliu's voice was very soft.

Perhaps the voice was too soft, and before it passed, it quietly melted into the quiet shadow of the lamp.

Nie Lingbo turned a deaf ear, walked straight over, and stopped in front of Song Pianxuan.

In front of Song Pianlu was Nie Lingbo, and behind him was a door.

The distance between the two was less than an arm's length, and Nie Lingbo's approach cast a shadow on Song Pianxuan's body, which was extremely oppressive.

Song Pianlu had already gotten used to having her by her side, and she didn't show any discomfort. She raised her head slightly and asked Nie Lingbo naturally:

"What's wrong?"

Nie Lingbo shook his head, his eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows on his cheeks, hiding the dormant emotions in his eyes.

Song Pina is like a carefree bird, even in the face of approaching danger, she raises her head innocently, ignorant.

Nie Lingbo stretched out his hand, and slowly caressed her soft and fair side cheek.

What a gentle little girl.

She obediently and quietly let herself touch her.

Want to occupy.

She stroked Song Pianliao's hand, cruising slowly from Song Pianliao's cheek down.

The corridor was dimly lit, and Nie Lingbo blocked most of the light. Song Pianliu raised her head, but she couldn't see Nie Lingbo's expression clearly.

She only felt that Nie Lingbo's eyes were dark, and there was a strange expression on his face.

Nie Lingbo's throat rolled.

Song Pianlu's mouth was inexplicably dry, she stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.

Nie Lingbo's hand touching the side of her neck suddenly stopped.

A sudden movement woke up the two of them.

In the sultry night, Song Pianyi and Nie Lingbo looked at each other.

Song Pianlu's eyes glowed with pity and love again, defeating Nie Lingbo's last prudence and calculation.

Before stooping down, she took one last look at the door.

Across the wall is Gu Zi's mother, who is sleeping peacefully.
