Chapter 189

No matter it was Song JinXing or Zhong Ruanxing, they were not the first time to attend the family banquet at the old house, and they were familiar with all the procedures. And this familiarity, in the eyes of others, became calm and decent.

The noble and elegant temperament that Song JinXing had cultivated since childhood as a young master of a prestigious family was exuded from Zhong Ruanxing. It was especially charming. Her leisurely and calm temperament was totally different from what they had imagined before about the indecent female celebrity. On the contrary, it made other people at the banquet look like they were from a humble family. It was really envious.

Song Jiawei used to have a good impression of this female celebrity Zhong Ruanxing who beat up the pervert because of the incident before. But now knowing that she was Song JinXing’s girlfriend, that little goodwill had disappeared.

She not only recalled those rumors on the internet, but she had thought they were just rumors before. But now with her resentment towards Song JinXing, she also began to dislike Zhong Ruanxing. Wasn't this what the rumors said that she loved to find rich men? Who knows how many men she had found before she found Song JinXing!

Prejudice made her completely forget that the young couple were both unmarried. It was the most normal thing to fall in love.

Now looking at her grandmother being so caring to this female celebrity, she was apparently being biased towards the third brother's family. Song Jiawei felt very uncomfortable.

She had always been someone who would make others feel bad if she felt bad. The knife and fork made a harsh sound on the plate. When she raised her head again, she had a fake smile on her face, "Sister-in-law, I heard that you are going to shoot an adapted TV series which was plagiarized by The Lady soon, right?"

Song JinXing nodded, "Yes, I'll start shooting the day after tomorrow."

Song Jiawei said with a smile, "The case of The Lady made such a big noise at that time. During that time, our circle was full of discussions about this matter. There were so many nasty rumors about you. I just heard them before, but now you are a family member of our Song family after all. I think you still have to deal with those rumors properly, otherwise Third Brother will also be misunderstood by others easily."

She thought only young people would surf the Internet. Granny and Grandpa must not know about those rumors of Zhong Ruanxing. Otherwise, how could they accept a female celebrity with a stained reputation?

But in fact, Granny Song had known about it long ago. She was not some silly girl. She was also a young lady from a prestigious family. After marrying Grandpa Song, she had accompanied him to fight in the business world. She had seen all kinds of situations. She saw through her granddaughter's little trick at a glance.

She knew that these grandchildren had opinions on her bias towards the third brother, but they didn't think about what kind of life they had lived in China since childhood, and what kind of life the third brother had lived abroad. What's wrong with her being a little biased?

It was just that in order not to make them feel more about her bias before, she had never cared about them. But now Song Jiawei directly embarrassed the third brother's girlfriend in front of so many people. This obvious malice made Granny Song very unhappy.

Just as she was about to speak, someone who didn't know how to read the air spoke first.

It was her annoying daughter-in-law Qiu Meiqian. The old woman who didn't grow brains with age took the lead to speak for Song Jiawei, "What rumors?"

Song Jiawei was very happy that someone followed up. She completely ignored the sullen faces of Grandpa and Granny, "It's the usual rumors in the entertainment industry, like finding rich men to get to the top and so on. Of course I'm not saying about sister-in-law! It's just that these rumors have been following sister-in-law for many years. They will inevitably make others speculate randomly."

Granny Song finally couldn't stand it. She put down her chopsticks and said solemnly, "Is it what a well-behaved girl from a prestigious family should do, to talk nonsense about those unsubstantiated rumors in front of the elders? Old daughter-in-law, is this how you taught her?"

Song Jiawei's smug expression froze. She looked at Granny in disbelief with shame rising on her face.

She just repeated what everyone was saying on the Internet. But Granny scolded her and her mother in front of outsiders like this. She was really biased towards the third brother's family to the bone!

Song Jiawei looked indignant and was about to push away the plate and leave the table angrily. Her mother Pan Xiuxin, who was sitting next to her, pressed her knee tightly and glared at her. Then she stood up with an apologetic look, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't teach Jiawei well. Jiawei, apologize to Grandpa and Granny and your sister-in-law quickly!"

Her brother Song Jiaci also said, "Granny, Jiawei didn't mean it. Don't be angry. Jiawei, apologize quickly!"

Song Jiawei didn't think she was wrong at all, but being stared at by the family, she had to swallow her emotions and apologize, "I'm sorry Granny, I was talking nonsense."

Granny Song said sternly, "You should apologize to the right person, not me." Song Jiawei's eyes turned red. She looked at the indifferent beautiful woman beside Granny again. Her hands under the table clenched tightly as she squeaked out, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked nonsense."

Song JinXing glanced at her. Her eyes were still calm. With a gentle smile on her face, she didn't seem to be angry at all. But her words didn't give Song Jiawei any face, "I heard you majored in journalism. People in journalism should be more cautious about rumors. Seeking truth from facts is the tenet of journalism. Don't you think so?"

Song Jiawei was mocked by him and hadn't reacted yet. Then she heard Song Shuling's cold ridicule, "Elder sister didn't work in relevant professions after graduation. You must have forgotten everything you learned before."

If Grandpa and Granny were not staring at her, Song Jiawei really wanted to glare at her.

Zhong Ruanxing realized that she didn't need to say anything at all. Everything she wanted to say had been said!

However, in order to show her "boyfriend power" a little bit, Zhong Ruanxing still decided to stand up for her "girlfriend". She put down her chopsticks and looked unhurriedly at Song Lecheng who was eating with his head down, "It's inevitable to be plagued by rumors when making a living in the entertainment industry. Second brother, you also spent a few years in the entertainment industry. You should understand more clearly than others where these rumors come from, right?"

Song Lecheng's body shook violently.

What the hell! It wasn't him who was making troubles! Why did she have to talk to him!

This idiot Song Jiawei didn't see that he had been obedient! Jumping out to attract attention! Now it's good, she got him involved too!

No no no! He had to think positively! This was a chance to perform given to him! With the idiot Song Jiawei as a foil, wouldn't it make him look especially friendly?

Song Lecheng immediately said, "Of course I know! I ran an entertainment company for so many years. How could I not know what my younger sister is like? Those rumors on the Internet are all slanders! My younger sister is so beautiful that she inevitably blocks the way of others. The only way for others to get ahead is to smear her and drag her down. These nasty competitive tactics are endless in the circle. My younger sister has also suffered a lot from them! Jiawei, you're a grown up. How can you still listen to gossips credulously? You are so ignorant!"

Song Jiawei: "???" Who the hell are you standing with?

Song Lecheng looked righteous.

Of course not with you!
