Lu Shi heard her daughter's words, and all the hair on her body rose. She exhaled, her lips parted as if to say something, but she clamped her mouth shut.
If Lu Shi had known that Xu Yuelan would face death in the future due to this growing obsession, she would have tried to stop her. She would have convinced her.

Song Residence
Far away from the banquet, another storm was brewing.
Song Kai walked into the mansion, handing his coat to one of the maids. He found his younger brother seated lazily on one of the sofas, grinning at his phone. Song Yun didn't even realize that he had returned.
Song Kai cleared his throat to announce his arrival. Song Yun raised his head, gave him the barest glance, then returned his attention to the glowing screen of his phone.
Song Kai sighed, walking forward with his hands in his pockets before taking a seat opposite him.
