EBE Chapter 405 You're Not My Daughter
Chapter 405 You're Not My Daughter
Just as everyone was waiting for Fang Li to make her stance clear, Song Yuchen, who had been drinking alone in the corner, suddenly stood up.
His steps were slightly unsteady, but he seemed fairly clear-headed as he walked step by step toward Fang Li and the others' table.
Upon seeing this, Lin Miao immediately stood up and reached out to help him.
Song Yuchen raised his hand to dodge, then looked at Fang Li across the large round table.
"Sorry, it wasn't me just now..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.
Fang Li's expression turned completely cold, and even Han Xi next to her had a slight chill in his eyes.
"I didn't know you were coming back today. If I had known, I would have..."
Looking into Fang Li's cold eyes, Song Yuchen smiled with some difficulty, then took a deep breath and said, "I know you'll feel uncomfortable if I stay here, but don't worry, I'll leave now."
As he spoke, he turned to his classmates and said, "I've already paid for everything tonight. Please enjoy your meal. I'll be leaving now."
"Eh......."
Lin Miao looked alarmed and was about to say something when Song Yuchen turned and walked towards the door.
They all stared blankly at the scene.
Seeing that Song Yuchen was just a few steps away from the door, Han Xi, who hadn't spoken all night, suddenly smiled.
Song Yuchen paused and turned around.
Everyone's eyes turned to Han Xi.
Han Xi wore the smile Xu Fangli knew best, but it didn't reach his eyes, carrying a dangerous signal.
He pushed back his chair and stood up, casually straightening the hem of his shirt tucked into his waistband. He lazily put his hands into his pockets and looked at Song Yuchen not far away.
With just one glance, she distanced herself from all the men present.
Standing there, Han Xi exuded an innate noble aura and a uniquely reserved demeanor, making the other men seem insignificant even as supporting characters.
"Mr. Song, are you unhappy with being the son-in-law of the Yu family?" Han Xi asked in a calm tone, as if discussing the weather.
Song Yucheng's brows suddenly furrowed: "What do you mean?"
"The last incident has just passed, so we still need to be careful lately. After all, you are now part of the Yu family. If you cause any more gossip, Chairman Yu might not be happy." Han Xi looked at him with a calm gaze.
Song Yuchen's expression grew increasingly grim, and a look of realization gradually appeared in his eyes. "It's you?!"
Han Xi curled his lips, his expression indifferent.
"..." Song Yuchen's drunkenness vanished instantly.
His eyes hardened as he stared intently at Han Xi: "You orchestrated the rumors about me and Yu Wei? You deliberately forced me to admit to my relationship with Yu Wei, you..."
Han Xi: "Mr. Song, you need to have evidence to support your claims."
"you.......!"
Song Yuchen gritted his teeth and glared at Fang Li: "Fang Li, do you know what this person next to you has done?! It's all his fault! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be with Yu Wei, I wouldn't be threatened by Yu Minghai, and I wouldn't be with you..."
"Song Yuchen!"
Fang Li's cold shout not only interrupted Song Yuchen's words, but also instantly silenced the entire banquet hall.
"That's your choice, stop dragging others into it!"
"I'm not like that, it really is him!"
Song Yuchen pointed a finger directly at Han Xi, his brows furrowed and his expression anxious as he explained, "I already interrupted and explained to Yu Wei that it was Yu Minghai—no, it was him. He secretly instigated Yu Minghai to put pressure on me, and I had no choice but to..."
"How much?"
Fang Li also stood up and stood next to Han Xi, looking at Song Yuchen with a sarcastic expression.
"He only reluctantly admitted to his relationship with Yu Wei? He only became the future son-in-law of Yu's Jewelry out of necessity, and only endured humiliation to become Yu's Jewelry's lifelong spokesperson, starring in a movie produced by an S-class team with Yu's daughter?!"
Each question made Song Yuchen's face grow paler and paler, until she finally staggered slightly, unable to stand.
Taking the opportunity, Lin Miao quickly helped Song Yuchen up.
She probably didn't realize what was happening, and Song Yuchen didn't shake her off.
Lin Miao held onto Song Yuchen's arm with a hint of smug delight, and for a moment she didn't let go.
Fang Li saw it all, but was too lazy to say anything.
“Song Yuchen, what’s done is done. Don’t keep trying to make excuses for yourself. Vanity isn’t your fault, but to pretend to be a victim when you’re clearly vain is shameless.”
"......"
I never expected Fang Li to be so ruthless and say such hurtful things.
None of the students who initially watched the play expected things to develop to this point, and they were all suddenly uneasy, unsure of how to react.
Lin Miao, however, frowned and seemed indignant, "Fang Li, we're all classmates, aren't you being a bit too harsh with your words!"
"What's it to you?"
Fang Li had tolerated Lin Miao all night, thinking that she should try to avoid a falling out by saying "we're all classmates."
But some people are destined to never know when to stop; the more you tolerate them, the more they take advantage of you.
In the end, I thought you were scared and easy to bully!
"You!" Lin Miao gritted her teeth in anger.
Fang Li glanced at her coldly and curled her lips: "It's none of your business, so you'd better stay out of it. Otherwise, you'll end up with a mess that you can't shake off!"
"I...! I don't need your permission!"
"I really have no obligation to take care of you; you're not my daughter," Fang Li sneered.
Lin Miao's face turned ugly, and her eyes widened immediately. "Who are you calling your daughter! Xu Fangli, I'm still your classmate, don't go too far!"
Fang Li was too lazy to argue with her.
She rolled her eyes at her lazily, then turned to Song Yuchen: "You're a public figure, after all. Think before you do anything. Don't make yourself look bad and upset others."
"I've never liked looking back. What's past is past for me. If you want to dwell on it, that's none of my business. But don't drag me into it. I may have a good temper, but my patience is limited. Who knows, I might be in a bad mood one day and want to vent my frustrations. If I accidentally hurt you, that wouldn't be good."
"Fang Li...do you have to talk to me like that?"
Song Yuchen looked hurt and said, "It was clearly him who pulled the strings behind the scenes, forcing me to choose Yu Wei. If it weren't for him, we would have been..."
"They have absolutely no relation!"
Fang Li interrupted Song Yuchen directly, saying with annoyance, "There are some things I'm too lazy to talk to you about anymore. Have some shame and don't bring them up again, otherwise, not only Han Xi, but I might not be able to resist ruining you myself!"
"Xu Fangli, who do you think you are?!"
Lin Miao sneered, her face full of mockery: "Who do you think you are, daring to say you'll ruin someone else? Song Yuchen is now the son-in-law of Yu's Jewelry, and a hot celebrity in the industry. You think you can ruin him?"
"Exactly, they don't even think before they start bragging!"
Another girl chimed in, "She acted all night, ignoring everyone, and needed to be invited to parties multiple times. Does she really think she's something special?"
Fang Li's eyes turned cold as she looked at the girl, whose face instantly stiffened, and she pursed her lips, no longer daring to speak.
