Song Meimei haughtily sat next to Ye Fan, and murmurs of surprise rose among the crowd around them.

Most people did not know Song Meimei's identity, thus they speculated endlessly about this beauty shrouded in mystery.

To drive away the women around Ye Fan, Song Meimei's methods made many people's eyes widen in shock.

Even though everyone present was a person of stature, they were still startled by Song Meimei's audacity.

At this moment, most people came back to their senses, and their gazes towards Song Meimei changed considerably, realizing that this beauty was not one to mess with; no one dared to approach her anymore.

"She is the young lady of the Song Family, which dominates many regions in the south and holds the utmost status in the business world—Miss Song Meimei."

"She is the young lady of the Song Family."

"Oh my god, she truly is the young lady of the Song Family."

Someone recognized Song Meimei's identity and was immediately flabbergasted.

Amidst such murmurs, Song Meimei's identity quickly became public knowledge, known by all.

"I do know the young lady of the Song Family, but that miss hasn't made any mark in the business world; how could it be her?" Someone raised a question, not doubting Song Meimei's identity, but expressing sheer amazement.

"What do you know? There are rumors that the young lady of the Song Family doesn't like doing business, preferring to explore various professions as life experiences. There are also rumors that the young lady of the Song Family is trying different fields to gather experience, making it easier to take charge in the future," said one esteemed elder in the business world, seeming to know quite a few industry secrets.

"Is it true?" Someone exclaimed in astonishment, "The Song Family's status has been maintained for over a hundred years, unaffected by regime changes. As the young lady of the Song Family, why not enjoy comfort instead of trudging around to face hardships? What's the point?"

"That's the strength of the Song Family; those valued family members start from the grassroots, from small tasks, as a form of training to facilitate managing business later and understanding various industries," someone explained, "Whether in business or politics, they follow a gradual path. As for the spoiled children, they just enjoy wealth within the family, but their status isn't high, nor will they have a day of independent power."

"So that's how it is; no wonder it's the Song Family," an exclamation rang out.

"Why is the young lady of the Song Family here then?" Someone queried.

"It's rumored that there might be a prospective alliance between Li Yang from the Li Family and the young lady of the Song Family, which explains why she is here," an informed person revealed, "If the two families were to unite, they could achieve supreme status and prestige in the business world. However, looking at the current situation, the young lady of the Song Family seems to have an unusual relationship with that man, which is suspiciously like putting a green cap on Li Yang. In today's information age, once this spins up, it could become sensational news."

"Shh, are you crazy? Discussing such matters?" one person cautiously reminded.

Suddenly, a hush fell over, and those gossiping about the topic immediately fell silent, daring not to speak recklessly anymore.

Whether the young lady of the Song Family and the young master of the Li Family have any relations, that's for those with the right to discuss it; furthermore, it involved the matter of alliances, compounded by Song Meimei's current closeness with Ye Fan. One careless word could lead to trouble, so naturally there was reason to be cautious.

In everyone's hearts, a chill descended, lurking with a sense of apprehension, they dared not voice their opinions anymore.

"Now, you've caused trouble, right? The young lady of the Song Family is not someone you can afford to offend. Who are you to have any qualification? With just a few words from her, you're doomed," a female star mocked, focusing her gaze on the beauty who snatched Song Meimei's watch.

Earlier, whether they were models or actresses, those who first seized the opportunity to rally around Ye Fan were quite envied, but now they gloated.

Learning about Song Meimei's identity rendered them speechless with fear.

Especially those who had mocked Song Meimei, each of them was as frightened as quails.

The most frightened was the beauty who grabbed the watch; she now felt like holding a hot potato. The young lady of the Song Family threw something out, how could she retrieve it? But if the young lady of the Song Family didn't retrieve it, she didn't dare keep it for herself either.

She didn't have the courage to throw it away either.

"What should I do?" She bore the scornful stares and mockeries, anxiously pondering.

"Don't worry." A woman advised, "Young ladies of the Song Family stand on high; they won't care for us nobodies. We aren't qualified to warrant the young lady of the Song Family's time to deal with us, and as for the watch, take it calmly. It's merely a thing for the young lady of the Song Family; throwing it to us implies it's given as a reward."

The five young masters on Li Yang's side watched the situation develop in frustration, wondering whether the Li Family shared Li Yang's sentiments, where the young lady of the Song Family loses face and the Li Family risks its own face to tarnish Song Meimei's reputation, thus reducing her status within the Song Family. Therefore, the Li Family did not intervene to stop Song Meimei.

"Who'd have thought the future sister-in-law would use such methods to drive those people away."

"Though I utterly detest her being so close and affectionate with that bastard Ye Fan, her daring and generosity make one admire her indeed. We couldn't think of such methods ourselves."

"The young lady of the Song Family surely possesses an exceptional side."

The five young masters of Li Yang whispered with mixed emotions.

Meanwhile, Song Meimei sweetly smiled, saying, "Brother Ye, we really are destined; we meet again."

"Meeting once counts as destiny?" Ye Fan replied helplessly, "In this bustling city, who knows how many people we meet? Aren't you stretching it by saying this is destiny?"

"The Buddhist scriptures say it takes five hundred rounds of gazing from the previous life to exchange for a mere brush of shoulders in this life," Song Meimei said gently, "With my relationship with Brother Ye, it's at least fifty thousand gazes already, no, five million would suffice."

"..." Ye Fan glanced at Song Meimei's high spirit, shook his head, and said nothing.

"Brother Ye, you should be thankful to me; if it weren't for me, you'd still be harassed by those flies, annoyed to death. Don't you agree with me?" Song Meimei spoke happily, "Even if you don't verbally say thanks, I'll take it that you've said it in your heart. I have already felt your appreciation."

Ye Fan felt a bit exasperated; Song Meimei truly made him feel helpless.

"Your purpose is just to help me drive away flies; your existence is solely to chase flies," Ye Fan said casually, "Besides, those are people, not flies."
