In the country, there are several big families that were allowed to be called 'great', but none of them could really contend against the Song family that has been there for thousands of years. It wasn't even a rumor that their ancestors helped several emperors and saw many empires rise and fall.
They were no longer a golden spoon in this era, they are the legendary diamond spoon that makes up 0.1 percent of the entire human population. The Tang and He family couldn't even dare to stand on the same level as the Song family.
Hence, why Tang Jian, a spoiled heiress from one of the greatest families in the country, couldn't understand why Song Yu Han had come tonight.
From what she heard from her mother, the young master of the Song family was never the type to attend a gathering that he didn't like, much less an event that gathered all kinds of celebrities in one building. He was an unapproachable and aloof man that nobody could move like a mountain!
Of course, Song Yu Han was not known by many people. He never showed a pretentious and flamboyant side to him so little was known about him in the public aside from being the favorite grandson of the Song Patriarch.
Still, that didn't change the fact that a lot of people dared not to offend this man. A lot of people fear him more than the entire Song family, which a lot of people in their group of golden spoon heirs and heiresses couldn't understand why it was so.
However, seeing the man that every mothers and fathers in high society would always use as an example to force their children to do better in their lives, Tang Jian could finally understand why her mother warned her about him.
Do not offend him. Her mother had told her several times in the past.
Upon seeing them getting closer to the stage, the host couldn't stop his beating heart growing faster. He had been given headsup of the identity of this man so he couldn't help but feel even nervous. He didn't want to mess up this meeting with Song Yu Han and end up offending him!
"We have a surprising pair walking up the red carpet. Let us all please welcome the CEO of YH Group, Song Yu Han; and the most-awaited actress with a beautiful charm of a fairy, Ran Xueyi!"
"We weren't expecting that the two of you would come together, but please come on stage so we can give you a short interview," the host happily invited them on the stage. But at this moment, he remembered that there were still some people on the stage with him.
He Gui reacted faster than Tang Jian and moved to the left after taking a few steps backward. He didn't even dream of stealing the spotlight dedicated to Song Yu Han.
But there was someone who didn't get the hint from the host and continued to stand there.
Holding the microphone, Tang Jian shamelessly stood in the same spot and said gleefully, "Isn't this perfect? We were just talking about Miss Ran and here she is. Why not use this opportunity for the four of us to take a group picture?"
She had no bounds of shame.
"Just now I was saying to everyone that we planned to meet you inside. But it turns out that you haven't arrived and coincidentally came out to the red carpet with Mr. Song. I see that Miss Ran's fortune is really abundant. Isn't that right, everyone?" Tang Jian kept looking for trouble.
These words were hinting that Ran Xueyi was riding on the coat tails of this man, Song Yu Han. That Ran Xueyi was not someone who should have been able to walk on the red carpet with this man. Using an excuse of being late to 'coincidentally' stumble upon Song Yu Han and walk on the red carpet at the same time.
Those who knew know that hugging on the thighs of the young master from the song family didn't bode well. Later, they will see Ran Xueyi falling from her high horse for using Song Yu Han's influence to boost her way up.
Ran Xueyi and Tang Jian had never met before. They weren't at the same level in terms of acting and status in the entertainment industry. However, Tang Jian didn't know why she felt this sense of inferiority and fear. She was the proud heiress of the Tang family, why should she feel scared towards a mere actress who came from a slightly wealthy family?
But Tang Jian didn't see that earlier, Song Yu Han had gotten off the car where Ran Xueyi was in.She only saw them walking side by side on the red carpet. She was too preoccupied with the thoughts or misleading everybody on live recording that she and He Gui still had a chance of getting back together. Otherwise, she would have not hinted that Ran Xueyi was scheming Song Yu Han.
He Gui and the host felt ashamed on behalf of Tang Jian, who showed no fear or embarrassment for trying to create trouble in the middle of a wonderful night's event. Especially He Gui, who was forced to bring her along due to her threats. He now regretted not pulling Tang Jian fast out of that place so no further damage could happen.
The still and extremely awkward situation gave those who worked behind the scenes and making sure that the Night Gala will be a successful event broke into cold sweats. Everyone knew that Song Yu Han was the biggest investor and owned the entire building that they used for tonight's event. Just one word from him to his secretary, everyone could be evicted and thrown outside on the road.
At this time, Ran Xueyi decided to put a period on this stillness.
"Thank you for your kind words. I also think I have a fortunate destiny to meet Mr. Song tonight." Ran Xueyi humbly smiled at Tang Jia. not at all upset by her words. Then, she turned to the crowds and the cameras in front of her while recording on live, "It is quite cold tonight so please wear thicker jackets and coats to avoid getting cold."
The obvious contrast between a true actress who has been in the industry for almost two decades and a spoiled heiress who bought her way into the entertainment world was very clear.
One was trying to paint the other with dirty mud out of envy; while the other was more concerned about the fans and everyone else out there, showing no further care towards the pointed and harsh accusations that were thrown at her.
No matter where one would look, Ran Xueyi effortlessly won against Tang Jian. And she even won everybody's hearts.
"Ran Xueyi is surely the goddess that we all don't deserve! Her kindness is too much for all of us," the host also used this chance to prove that Ran Xueyi was not an opportunistic schemer like Tang Jian and asked, "I was wondering why I felt so down earlier. It was because I haven't seen you all night!"
Ran Xueyi smiled in reply to his words and bowed at him.
"It was my fault." Suddenly a cold and deep voice sounded. It came from Song Yu Han, who stood a bit closer to Ran Xueyi. And under everyone's eyes, he leaned forward and used the same microphone that Ran Xueyi was holding and used to speak, "I am Ran Xueyi's accompanying partner tonight, but there was something that I had to do first so I held her back a little."
"I hope Miss Ran can forgive me with the little surprise I will send on your doorstep later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the host glanced at Tang Jian, whose face didn't look good at all. Her previous words that hinted Ran Xueyi trying to scheme Song Yu Han by running a bit later and 'coincidentally' walking on the red carpet at the same time had been denounced and disproved.
As someone who had been in this industry, the host realized that the two individuals were not strangers to each other. At least, they have a close relationship that was never revealed to the public.
No wonder, Ran Xueyi could move the unmovable mountain, that is, Song Yu Han, to come to the Night Gala filled with celebrities as her guest, no, accompanying partner!
Naturally, He Gui already knew this from three years ago. He knew that the two were acquainted with each other when he saw them sitting together at the same table at the old Patriarch Song's birthday party.
It was too bad that he was unable to warn Tang Jian, but it was not his place to say or gossip about the matters and life of Song Yu Han, so very little about that party was revealed.
This face-slap was served so fast that Tang Jian's knees buckled and she almost fell on her butt!
It was also at this moment that Weibo and several live streaming platforms exploded. Fans could no longer take it and bombed the comment sections with their comments...
