Chapter 1173: Officially Introduce A Member Of The Song Family
Butler Wang looked slightly pale, but it was almost imperceptible unless someone scrutinized him closely. He shook his head and replied. “Miss Ning did not come, so only her daughter is here. Oh yes. She came in with a middle-aged man.”
Song Zhi frowned the moment he heard what Butler Wang said. He did not expect Song Ning to bail on the event. Then again, all he really needed was Huo Yao. He walked towards the lift. “Okay. Got it. Let’s go up first.”
Butler Wang looked at Song Zhi from behind, parting his lips hesitantly. He walked a couple of steps before he said to Song Zhi, “Young Master Zhi, I suddenly feel unwell. Do you mind if I head home?”
Song Zhi halted slightly. He turned and glanced at Butler Wang and noticed the stiffness on Butler Wang’s face, so he waved his hand. “Uncle Wang, why don’t you get some rest?”
Butler Wang heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Young Master Zhi.”
Song Zhi said nothing. He entered the lift and went upstairs.
Butler Wang walked out with lighter steps.
When he encountered the young woman at the banquet hall entrance, he automatically felt terrified even though it was just a brief glance of her.
He did not even have the courage to stay around.
...
The banquet hall on the third floor was very spacious. All the guests were from elite families, so everyone came dressed in their best. There were lights flashing in the hall and the atmosphere felt lively.
Huo Yao came dressed in a dark-colored coat and stood out like a sore thumb among the high society young ladies.

She had a powerful aura and a gorgeous face, so she stood out from the crowd and instantly stole everyone’s attention.
Song Qi was busy chatting with high society ladies when she saw Huo Yao. She could not help pursing her lips in disdain when she saw Huo Yao coming inappropriately dressed.
“Which family is that girl from? She looks quite pretty,” asked a woman beside her.
Song Qi adjusted the scarf on her shoulder and explained softly. “She is my older sister’s daughter.”
The lady looked at Song Qi in surprise. “Is she your older sister’s daughter? Are you talking about the one who got driven out by the family?”
Song Qi pursed her lips and sighed. “It was a huge embarrassment for the family. My older sister was young and impulsive. I know she made a few mistakes, but it happens to the best of us, right?”
The lady smiled. “That’s true.” She paused before she looked at Huo Yao standing nearby and said, “I haven’t heard about your older sister in years. I did not expect to see her daughter here.”
Song Qi cleared her throat and said with a magnanimous look on her face, “No matter what my older sister has done, she is family. Everything is in the past. Since the girl is a member of the Song family, it is only right for her to attend the banquet so that she can be properly introduced.”
When the guests heard what Song Qi said, they instantly knew why the Song family was holding a banquet.
“That is really thoughtful of you,” commended another guest.
“I doubt anyone else would specially organize such a huge banquet to do something like this.”
Song Qi replied modestly on hearing the praise. “We are family. It is the least I could do.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she looked at Huo Yao standing nearby with a sinister smile on her face.
Now, it was Huo Yao’s turn to prove her worth so that everyone could see if she was worthy of being a member of the Song family.
