Charlie still watched with a smile as the Song family’s car left, but in his mind, he was calculating his plan.

“I didn’t expect Mr. Brown to be interested in Miss Meng, ” Gu Chen, who appeared behind him at some point, spoke with a rather indifferent tone.

Charlie seemed startled, then patted his chest, “Young Master Gu, are you trying to scare me? Are you afraid I might compete with you for Miss Song?”

His provocation was evident, but Gu Chen didn’t take the bait. “What am I afraid of? After all, Mr. Brown doesn’t seem to know which one is the real Miss Song.”

Charlie looked at him with a half-smile, especially noticing Gu Chen’s fidgeting with his left thumb and forefinger—a small movement that he recognized as a sign of anger. It seemed Gu Chen was upset.

“Yes, I’m not very familiar with the local customs since I just arrived,” Charlie spread his hands and continued, “But I can differentiate between Song Fan and Meng Xia. I can certainly tell which woman is better. But don’t worry, it seems Miss Song is indeed exceptional to you. I know better than to force something that’s not sweet.’

Gu Chen squinted at him. Still, he soon smiled again. “It’s good that you understand.”

Charlie seemed to make a surrendering gesture as if easing the tension. “Just joking with you, why so serious? The Brown Group does want to expand here. The branch of the Gu Group is also expanding its market. I believe we’ll have opportunities for cooperation in the future.”

He approached a bit closer and whispered to Gu Chen, “By the way, I heard you’re turning 25 soon. If you’re still here after your birthday, we must collaborate.”

After saying this, he left with a seemingly friendly smile.

The curse of turning 25 had been haunting Gu Chen, and this secret was known only to his confidants and Song Fan—nobody else was aware of his poisoning.

Since Charlie was aware of this matter, there was only one possibility—he was the one who poisoned him.

Charlie seemed completely oblivious to Gu Chen’s potential eruption. He played the role of a caring older brother, lightly patting Gu Chen’s shoulder. “Don’t be angry. I just know some things, but it has nothing to do with me. I swear on the life of my companion, hahaha.”

He left with a smile, meeting up with the approaching Gu Hai. Gu Chen didn’t turn around; he had already clenched his fist. It seemed that his plan had indeed succeeded.

Originally, he wanted to use the Gu family’s banquet to lure out the person who had attempted to assassinate him last time, letting them know he was still alive and planning to stay in A City. Unexpectedly, Charlie, the big fish, took the bait.

It appeared that Charlie was not only involved in the assassination but also connected to Gu Chen’s poisoning incident.

Gu Chen took a deep breath. He would turn 25 in three months. With Song Fan’s assistance, he had been stable for a long time now, but the toxin still lingered in his body. It seemed that Charlie’s visit to A City was to verify his current condition.

Upon thinking of this, he felt a bit heavy-hearted. The countdown to a person’s life had begun, and even the calmest person would feel a sense of breathlessness.

The only person who could help him return to normalcy was Song Fan. He took out his phone, intending to call her, but considering she had just left, he opted for a text message.

Song Fan felt quite tired when she returned home. It was only upon entering the villa that she saw Gu Chen’s message on WeChat.

Meanwhile, Meng Xia was still excitedly narrating how considerate Charlie had been to her. “Godmother, Charlie is truly a gentleman. He even said he wants me to accompany him and have some fun in A City.”

“You are so beautiful, who wouldn’t be moved?” Meng Yu, proud, added, then turned to Song Yi as if to boast, “The young master of the Brown family coming to A City can’t be just for tourism. He must be looking for collaboration. Let Xiao Xia accompany him, and we can use this opportunity to build connections. ”

Though Meng Xia blushed, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed. If she hadn’t changed into this ugly outfit today, perhaps other wealthy young men would have noticed her. She was a bit displeased.

Especially when she saw Song Fan just looking at her phone, seemingly uninterested in her bragging. She couldn’t help but say, “Sister, what are you looking at? Could it be that Charlie contacted you?”

Now aware that Charlie’s family background was stronger than the Gu family, Meng Xia felt she had surpassed Song Fan.

But before Song Fan could respond, her phone rang. Upon seeing it was a call from Charlie, she furrowed her brow. Amidst the shocked gazes of the others, she answered the call, “Hello, Mr. Brown..”
