Upon standing next to Song Fan, the staff member’s heart was pounding. She spoke somewhat nervously, “Miss Song, please don’t misunderstand. Miss Xu and Mr. Gu were engaged when they were children, and they haven’t met each other much.”

The staff members were aware of Gu Chen’s special treatment toward Song Fan. Gu Chen had even instructed the secretary to inform the front desk that whenever Song Fan appeared, she should be escorted upstairs and taken care of.

However, the current Miss Xu causing a scene did not enjoy such privileges. She had been ignored by Gu Chen on several occasions, and he even threatened to fire anyone who allowed her in.

Song Fan was surprised. She had never heard about Gu Chen having a fiancée arranged in childhood. Now she realized she knew too little about him and hadn’t taken the time to understand him.

“Miss Song, let me take you to the lounge, it’s quiet there,” the staff member made a gesture of invitation, and Song Fan, not wanting to be part of the commotion, turned to follow.

Unexpectedly, Miss Xu behind her caught up, and the staff members didn’t stop her.

“Are you Song Fan? Huh, something that can’t be seen in public. Do you even know your status? How dare you enter here so boldly? I’m Xu Wen, Gu Chen’s fiancée. What are you?” Xu Wen was about to grab Song Fan’s arm, but Song Fan grabbed her wrist and pressed it down.

“Ah! Let go! Let go of me!” Xu Wen slapped Song Fan’s hand, but Song Fan exerted more force, rendering her almost speechless in pain.

“Since Miss Xu doesn’t know how to respect others, let me educate you on behalf of your parents.” Song Fan said expressionlessly, “If you hit me again…”

She leaned forward slightly, and Xu Wen, frightened, quickly withdrew her hand, her body involuntarily shrinking. With a cold tone, Song Fan said,

“Whoever you are, forget about this hand.”

Song Fan had been a mercenary for many years, and with her imposing manner, the onlookers were too scared to even breathe, and no one dared to step forward to intervene.

Xu Wen’s tears streamed down her face from the pain. She was the young lady of the Xu family in the capital. No one had ever treated her like this. She glared at Song Fan, wanting to say something harsh. However, when she touched Song Fan’s icy gaze, she shivered, her body softened, and she knelt on the ground.

Upon seeing her pitiful state, Song Fan couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. She turned around directly. “Didn’t you say you were going to the lounge? Lead the way.”

The staff members on the side were already dumbfounded. It wasn’t until Song Fan’s words that they reacted and nodded hurriedly, leading her to the lounge.

As Song Fan was about to leave, someone approached, helping Xu Wen up from the ground.

“Slap!” A crisp sound of a slap echoed. Xu Wen had fiercely slapped a young girl beside her. “Are you all dead? How can you not help me after watching the future Mrs. Gu being bullied? I will kick out all you useless people. My family will never use people like you!”

“Your family?” Just as Xu Wen was venting her anger, Gu Chen’s cold voice rang out.

She quickly stood up, looking at Gu Chen with a grievance. “Chen, these people simply don’t take me seriously and even helped Song Fan bully me! My wrist was almost broken by her!”

Not sure if it was because it hurt just now, but tears welled up in Xu Wen’s eyes. She looked at Gu Chen with a sense of injustice and provocatively glanced at Song Fan.

She wasn’t unaware of the rumors about Song Fan and Gu Chen, but seeing Song Fan in person, her woman’s intuition told her that Song Fan and Gu Chen were not as close as rumored. Moreover, being the young lady of the Xu family, she didn’t believe Gu Chen would provoke her for this woman.

But she never expected that Gu Chen truly didn’t care about her. He walked up to Song Fan, held her hand gently, and asked, “Is your hand hurt?”

“Chen, did you misunderstand something? It was she who almost broke my wrist!” Xu Wen said indignantly.

But Gu Chen didn’t even look back at her, “With such force, your hand must be in pain. Let’s go to the lounge; I’ll give you a massage.”

Then he left with Song Fan. As they left, he didn’t forget to say to the staff,

“Gu’s Group is not a place anyone can enter. Do you understand?”

The girl who had been slapped by Xu Wen finally regained her senses. She stopped her tears and coldly said to Xu Wen, “Miss Xu, you can’t enter without an appointment.. If you don’t leave, I’ll call security!”
