What did Song Hua mean?

How could she know that these were replicas?

It was impossible.

Song Hua was just a wench. How could she be able to distinguish between replicas and authentic luxuries at a glance?
In just a moment, Zhou Lei’s expression returned to normal. “What do you mean?”

“Don’t you know that these are replicas?” asked Song Hua.

“These are not replicas.” Zhou Lei continued, “The Yu family is wealthy. There is no way that they will give you replicas.”
Song Hua nodded slightly and pursed her red lips. Then, she turned around to leave.

“Where are you going?” demanded Zhou Lei.

Seeing that Song Hua was leaving, Zhou Lei got anxious and immediately caught up with Song Hua.

“I’m going to the Yu family’s house,” answered Song Hua.

Hearing that Song Hua was going to the Yu family’s house, Zhou Lei felt extremely guilty.

If the Yu family knew that Zhou Lei replaced all the authentic luxuries with replicas, the Song family’s reputation would be destroyed.
“Why are you going to the Yu Family’s house?” inquired Zhou Lei.

Song Hua continued, “The Yu family brought over a bunch of replicas. Shouldn’t I go and seek an explanation?”

Zhou Lei paused.

What a b*tch Song Hua was!

“Why can’t I see that these are replicas? Do you think you have seen more of the world than me?” asked Zhou Lei.

“That’s why I would like to seek an explanation from the Yu family.” Song Hua looked at Zhou Lei. “The Yu family thought that you were old and blind, so they used replicas to fool you. How can I let them mess with you
and do nothing about it?”

Song Hua didn’t use any swear words, but she referred to Zhou Lei as a woman who was old, blind, and ignorant.
Zhou Lei was so angry that her face turned pale, but she could not say anything to refute it.

Zhou Lei did not expect that Song Hua could authenticate luxuries.

“Wait a minute.” Zhou Lei tried her best to calm down. “Let’s look into it on our own. Maybe it’s a misunderstanding.”
“That’s true.” Song Hua nodded slightly. “We can’t let good people be falsely accused.”

Zhou Lei called the housekeeper over.

Zhou Lei asked, “What is it with these luxuries?”

The housekeeper was very confused. However, she saw that Zhou Lei winked at her and reacted quickly. “Madam, I got it wrong. These aren’t the presents that the Yu family sent over. I saw that the things sent over by
the Yu family were nice, so I bought some replicas of them. I didn’t expect that they would be here.”

Zhou Lei angrily said, “Hurry up and bring the authentic luxuries over.”

“Yes, Madam, I’ll go right away,” answered the housekeeper.

Song Hua knew that Zhou Lei and the housekeeper were putting on an act, but Song Hua did not point it out.

Soon, the housekeeper got someone to bring the authentic luxuries over.

Under the lights, the luxuries shone brightly.

“Have you seen enough of them?” Zhou Lei asked.

Song Hua responded, “Yes, I have.”

Zhou Lei said to the housekeeper, “Since Song Hua has taken a good look at the luxuries, you can take them back.”

“Yes, Madam.” The housekeeper immediately came to take the luxuries.

“Wait a moment.” Song Hua reached out and put her hand on the box.

“What is it?” demanded Zhou Lei.

Song Hua looked at Zhou Lei. “Since the Yu family gave the luxuries to me, I should keep them myself.”

Zhou Lei smiled. “You’re too young to keep these valuable things. What if you lose them? It is better that I keep them for you.”
Song Hua looked at Zhou Lei and smiled. “I will keep these things in the bank safe. I won’t lose them.”

Zhou Lei never knew that Song Hua would dare to take what should belong to Song Baoyi.

“These things are supposed to belong to Baoyi. Don’t be so shameless. If it weren’t for her, you would still be in the countryside,” Zhou Lei said to Song Hua.
“In that case, you should ask Song Baoyi to marry Yu Tingzhi,” Song Hua said faintly.

Zhou Lei paused a moment and continued, “All right. Even if these things don’t belong to Baoyi, they should belong to me, shouldn’t they? I’m your mother. I raised you up with so much effort. Shouldn’t you give those
things to me?”

Song Hua smiled faintly. “Apart from my grandmother, I don’t owe anyone.”

As soon as Song Hua finished speaking, she packed up everything and walked out of the door.

How could there be such a heartless person like Song Hua in this world?

In Zhou Lei’s eyes, she painstakingly raised Song Hua up and even brought Song Hua back to the city to live a good life. Zhou Lei didn’t expect that Song Hua would turn on her.
Zhou Lei was so angry that her whole body was trembling, but she could do nothing to Song Hua.

“Where are you going?” asked Zhou Lei.

“The bank,” Song Hua said in a low voice.

“Don’t you walk away from me,” Zhou Lei roared angrily.

Song Hua acted as if she did not hear Zhou Lei.

Zhou Lei grabbed a vase and threw it on the ground.

The antique vase was shattered to pieces.

Song Baoyi happened to come down from upstairs. When she saw this scene, she frowned and asked, “Mom, What’s wrong?”

The housekeeper said, “It’s all because of that little b*stard.”

“What did she do?” Song Baoyi helped Zhou Lei sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

The housekeeper told Song Baoyi the whole story.

Hearing this, Song Baoyi sighed, “She is still young, so it’s normal for her to be disobedient. You should cut her some slack. If she likes those things, just give them to her.”
“I did it for you.” Zhou Lei continued, “She’s just a wench. How can she have such good things?”

When Zhou Lei thought of the limited edition diamond and watch, it felt as though her heart was bleeding.

Song Baoyi smiled and said, “It’s fine. | don’t mind. We’re sisters. My things are hers.”

Seeing that Song Baoyi was so kind-hearted, Zhou Lei sighed. “Baoyi, you are too kind. You’ll lose out sooner or later.

“It is not always a bad thing to lose out.” Song Baoyi continued. “Tomorrow, she is going to get engaged to Yu Tingzhi. Try to bear with her.”

The next day.

The Yu family and the Song family were both prestigious in River City.

The hotel was filled with guests.

Most of the guests who came to attend the engagement party were to see the fun.

After all, Song Baoyi was the most accomplished woman in River City while Yu Tingzhi was a useless douche bag.
In the dressing room.

Zhou Lei looked at the beautiful woman sitting in front of the dressing-table mirror and her eyes narrowed.
Zhou Lei had to admit that Song Hua had a good appearance.

Song Hua had a heart-shaped face and a pair of affectionate eyes. She had a dimple which appeared when she smiled and it was very seductive.
Very few men could resist her beauty.

Song Hua was so beautiful that Zhou Lei felt insecure.

Fortunately, Song Hua was about to get engaged to that loser.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lei grinned.

After a moment, Zhou Lei looked at her watch and said to the makeup artist, “It’s about time. Do it faster.”
“Okay,” answered the makeup artist.

In the lounge.

“Tingzhi, the Song family asked a woman to get engaged to you on Song Baoyi’s behalf.” Wang Dengfeng continued, “The woman is Zhou Lei’s adopted daughter. She has been raised in the countryside since she was
young.”

“Hmm.” Yu Tingzhi’s face was expressionless.

In Yu Tingzhi’s eyes, no matter who the woman was, the result would be the same.

Wang Dengfeng looked at Yu Tingzhi. “Tingzhi, your fiancee was swapped. Why do you still look like it is none of your business?”

“It’s par for the course.” Yu Tingzhi’s answer was brief.

“What are you going to do then?” Wang Dengfeng asked.

Yu Tingzhi replied in a calm voice, “I am going to break off the engagement.”

In the front hall.

Song Dalong stood on the stage in the middle of the front hall. “First of all, 1 would like to thank you for taking the time to attend my eldest daughter Song Hua and Yu Tingzhi’s engagement party.

“As you know, ten years ago, my family and the Yu family made a deal that my eldest daughter would marry Yu Tingzhi. Although we didn’t put it in black and white, a promise is a promise. Today, I am here to announce
the engagement between Song Hua and Yu Tingzhi.”

Song Hua?

Who was Song Hua?

Song Dalong’s words caused discussion among the guests.

The smile on Mr. Yu’s face instantly froze.

Did he hear correctly?

“Allow me to introduce everyone to my eldest daughter, Song Hua,” said Song Dalong.

As soon as he finished speaking, the guests saw a slender figure slowly walking towards the entrance.
Song Hua’s face couldn’t be seen clearly in shady areas.

Seeing the figure slowly walking over, Yu Tingzhi, who was sitting under the stage, squinted his eyes..
