For as long as Song Yu Han arrived at the party, nothing else mattered.
Ran Xueyi's arrival was also a sort of a fortunate thing for them since she was the only woman that Song Yu Han had given his attention to publicly.
Su Tian said, "If you don't mind, I will have my daughters accompany you tonight while waiting."
He had two daughters who were the same age as Ran Xueyi. They had long wanted to meet the woman who had caught Young Master Song's eyes and wanted to know her more. Now that an opportunity has arisen, they wouldn't let this chance go.
Ran Xueyi didn't object to showing respect toward Su Tian, who was the host of the party. She didn't say anything else and walked forward while Su Tian signaled his daughters with his eyes to follow her.
Su Tian's daughters' names were Su An and Su Anran.
Su An looked a bit more like Su Tian in appearance, but Su Anran seemed to inherit her father's gentle and aloof temperament.
Su Anran was friendly with Ran Xueyi and talked with her about the things that happened recently in their circle. Knowing that Ran Xueyi was not just an ordinary celebrity who came across a wealthy man to hold their thigh and was originally a rich heiress coming from the Ran family, she naturally wouldn't think so lowly of Ran Xueyi. She would like to establish a friendship with her.
On the other hand, Su An was slightly different from her sister.
Su Anran was the daughter of their father's first wife, and Su An was the daughter of the second wife he married after the first wife's death. Su An and her mother didn't like Su Anran, and seeing her acting so friendly with Ran Xueyi only increased the dislike that she was feeling.
Su An also didn't feel like accompanying Ran Xueyi at the party. She wasn't a babysitter!
Moreover, why would she become friends with the woman who stole the most eligible man her mother chose for her?
That's right... Su An and Madam Su have been eyeing Song Yu Han for a long time since arriving in the country. With the backing of the grand Song family and his own established company, it wasn't strange that many women would want to have him as their husband and son-in-law.
Sadly, on the day of Old Patriarch Song's birthday party, a woman suddenly appeared in front of them. The enigmatic and cold Young Master Song, who never had a relationship scandal attached to his name, even came to sit with her at the same table.
This made people create their own assumptions about the woman's identity, and Su An and Madam Su were one of these people. They especially thought that Ran Xueyi was after the Song family and Song Yu Han's money while ignoring the fact that she's an heiress herself.
"Isn't this the new jewelry collection that Country H released this month?" Su Anran didn't know what her sister was thinking and noticed the necklace around Ran Xueyi's neck.
The sapphire teardrop pendant shimmered elegantly under the lights inside the banquet hall. The clear blue gemstone was undoubtedly made from the finest quality and should be sold for several thousand dollars per carat. And in Ran Xueyi's necklace, Su Anran was unsure how many carats it contained.
Su An noticed the necklace and frowned. She suddenly said, "What a beautiful necklace... I'm sure Young Master Song paid a lot of money to buy it for you."
Out of nowhere, Song Yu Han was mentioned. This statement didn't seem to come from a good intention.
Su Anran glared at Su An for saying something that no one shouldn't know in this type of gathering. Where did she get the courage to ask this to the woman that Song Yu Han was interested in?
Ran Xueyi also knew that Su An's comment just now was filled with something else, and though she didn't understand why she was acting like this towards her, a stranger she just met at the party, Ran Xueyi wouldn't mind making her feel even worse.
"That's right. He had the original designer give me the original piece and have the other copies taken off the market. Right now, this necklace is the only piece in the world." Ran Xueyi had no trouble making someone who wanted to create trouble feel humiliated.
Su An wanted to make it appear that Ran Xueyi was being kept by Song Yu Han. However, what she didn't expect was that Ran Xueyi didn't try to deny that he really bought it for her and paid a lot for the necklace.
Of course, the result of her provocation was achieved. Because upon hearing her response, Su An's face became too hideous to look at.
After these words, Ran Xueyi no longer looked at Su An anymore. No matter what reason she had behind her trying to humiliate Ran Xueyi by subtly calling her a kept woman, Ran Xueyi didn't care.
Afraid that Ran Xueyi would think of the Su family unfavorably, Su Anran looked at Su An with a reprimanding look on her face and lowered her voice. She warned her, "Don't do something that will make father angry with you."
The Su family might have stayed aloof and neutral in the business world and never took sides when there was rivalry between different great families in the country. However, they still want to have an amicable relationship with Song Yu Han.
Currently, Ran Xueyi was the only connection they could get to be close to him and the possibility that Ran Xueyi might become the next Madam Song never disappeared in her mind.
"Forgive my sister's inconsiderate words. She's a little bit agitated because of our family matters," Su Anran didn't like Su An and her mother, but that didn't mean that she would let their rotten relationship get in the way of the Su family's prosperity.
"It's nothing..." Ran Xueyi brushed the matter off and added, "Young Miss Su An is still young, so it's only natural that she needed more guidance from you. Come to think of it, I also have a younger sister who is just like her and just recently, I taught her a lesson."
Su Anran was shocked by her words and smiled.
The scandal that happened before was not a secret in their circle. Su Anran clearly knew what Ran Xueyi was telling her.
Both Su Anran and Ran Xueyi were the older sisters in their families, and they had a younger sister who was both immature and foolish in their actions. It was only their duty to teach them and make them obedient to them.
Su An didn't know what the two said as they left her to stand alone in the middle of the banquet hall. She stomped her foot and snorted before she looked for her mother. She planned to complain and tell her that Su Anran was once again trying to steal the spotlight from her.
At this moment, another person gloated and intensely stared at Ran Xueyi's back. If one were to give this person a knife in her hand, the image of an out-of-his-mind criminal would be completed.
Ran Yue didn't know what she looked like right now as she watched the young lady from the Su family walking with her.
Gritting her teeth, Ran Yue stepped a foot forward when a hand grabbed her elbow and pulled her back.
She heard Manager Zhang hiss at her, "Where are you going?"
He had long seen Ran Xueyi walking with the young miss from the Su family and was slightly surprised. However, he didn't have the time to think about anything else as his own young miss needed to be held down.
If he didn't do so, Ran Yue would probably chase them and confront them. Strangely enough, Manager Zhang thought that Ran Yue was acting too impulsive and insanely. Though she was his artist, he never thought he would actually grow to hate someone he was managing and couldn't wait to get rid of her.
Sadly, he couldn't do that since Ran Yue was still the favored child of President Ran.
"Later, you should go to Ran Xueyi and apologize to her. Don't act rude and pretend you're trying to get along with her." Manager Zhang reminded her of what they talked about three days ago.
Ran Yue heard him and held down her temper, "I know... But I'm just frustrated that she's actually here!"
More than that, Ran Yue almost missed the chance to participate in it if the president of the agency didn't sell the entry ticket to her.
But Ran Xueyi dared to appear and enter while looking as though she had been friends with the young miss of the Su family for a long time.
Unforgivable...
This was just unforgivable!
Ran Yue was used to getting all the attention and everybody's respect. In whatever gathering and events, she proudly walked with her chin up while Ran Xueyi could only stay at home or be sent away. But tonight, things were different.
Ran Yue now had to watch the woman who stayed in her shadow step into the light and take all the attention of everyone.
