"can."
After the waiter left, Song Yaozu uttered two words softly, supported his elbows on the table, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth hidden under his palms.
Outside the box, after the waiter left.
The follower who had been hiding in the corner was looking at the door of the box from a distance, while constantly looking at the watch on his wrist.
"Shu Wen, I know you don't like me."
"You have always been excellent."
"When you were in school, you always got A's in every subject. You were known as the spoiled girl in the school. You were arrogant and looked down on boys who were worse than you."
"You look down on me, too. You went to Cambridge to get away from me. I know that very well."
"But none of that matters."
"In Hong Kong, how many children have the right to choose their marriages? From the moment we're born and enjoy our family's wealth, we're destined to sacrifice everything for the family's benefit."
"Of course, that includes love."
"It's the same with me and with you."
"If possible, I still hope we can get married, but you can rest assured that I will never restrict you in anything. You can do whatever you want, even if you are with other men outside."
Song Yaozu looked at Shu Wen, observing her changes carefully.
It's a pity that no matter how much he talked, Shu Wen already had an expression of annoyance and was not moved by his words at all.
"Finished?"
"Song Yaozu, I don't care what others do. I am who I am, and I won't tolerate even a grain of sand in my eyes."
"Do you think I went to see you that day unintentionally?"
"To be honest with you, even though I studied at Cambridge these years, I'm well aware of all the ridiculous things you did in Hong Kong."
"You said you and Lucy were in true love, that's ridiculous!"
"Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Lan Kwai Fong, where don't you have confidantes? If you're dating five or six girlfriends at once, do you really deserve to talk about true love?"
"I don't bother to say anything extra. If I hadn't cared about my family's reputation, I wouldn't have come out to see you!"
Shu Wen's words were like a knife.
Sharp, piercing through Song Yaozu's hypocritical mask.
"You asked someone to monitor me?" Song Yaozu narrowed his eyes, which contained endless resentment.
He never imagined that this beautiful woman actually had such a cruel heart.
Someone had been monitoring him for a long time!
"Don't you know there's a profession called private detective?" Shu Wen rolled her eyes at Song Yaozu.
······
Dangdangdang...
After a knock on the door, a waiter pushed it open and walked in.
"Excuse me, let me serve you some food."
The arrival of the waiter eased the overly tense atmosphere in the box.
After the waiter entered the box, the follower who had been hiding in the corner and paying attention to the movements in the box calmed down, then stood up, picked up the bottle of red wine on the tray, and walked towards the door of the box.
Standing not far from the box door, the follower stretched out his hand to call the waiter in the distance.
"waiter!"
Hearing the call, the waiter hurried over: "Hello sir, how can I help you?"
"Please help me decant this bottle of red wine, and then send it to this room. Our leader is inside and will need some drink later." The attendant handed the tainted red wine in his hand to the waiter.
It is very common for guests to bring their own red wine here, and providing guests with a hangover service is also one of the services provided by the Western restaurant.
The waiter didn't notice anything unusual.
"Ok sir."
After taking the red wine, the waiter nodded and went to the food preparation area in the back.
After doing all this, the follower quickly left and returned to the corner where he had been before, continuing to observe the movements in the box from a distance.
In the box.
Song Yaozu was furious and kept telling himself to stay calm.
Picking up the fork, Song Yaozu slowly took a bite of salad to hide his anger.
"Since you've said this much, I have nothing more to say."
"To save face for both families, I plan to explain the cancellation of the engagement to the elders of my family after returning to Hong Kong. I will then ask them to come forward and apologize with gifts, and the elders of both families will negotiate a settlement.
It would be best if you and I could appear together in public at some point, so that we can shut others up and avoid bringing shame to both of our families."
"what do you think?"
Song Yaozu's approach was full of sincerity. The elders of the Song family came to apologize, which was naturally the best way for the Shu family to save face.
Shu Wen thought about it for a moment and felt that Song Yaozu's method was feasible.
"If that's the case, I agree."
"But are you sure you can convince the elders of the Song family?"
Shu Wen also knew about the situation of the Song family. There were three brothers in Song's father's generation, and Song Yaozu was the eldest son and grandson.
The Song family started out in shipping, from a small sampan to the shipping company it is today, thanks to the efforts of three generations.
But as the company gets bigger, the disputes also get bigger.
By the time it came to Song's father's generation, the second and third sons of the Song family were no longer willing to be supporting roles, and both wanted to fight for the power to steer the ship.
He caused a lot of trouble for Song's father.
The Song family was rebelling against each other, but Shu Wen didn't think that just a few words from Song Yaozu after he returned would be enough to convince the elders of their family to come and apologize.
"You can rest assured about this. If it were just me who was unwilling, this matter would probably not be possible. However, Uncle Shu has already taken the initiative to propose the cancellation of the engagement. To save face, my elders will also agree."
"It's just as you said." Shu Wen said in a deep voice.
Dangdangdang....
The door of the box was opened again, and a waiter came in with a tray.
Song Yaozu turned his head to look at the waiter, his gaze fixed on the tray, a wicked glint flashing in his eyes.
"Sir, you are sober now."
"Pour it for us." Song Yaozu raised his hand and signaled the waiter to pour the wine directly.
Shu Wen also glanced at the waiter.
It is normal to pair Western food with red wine.
Shu Wen didn't think much about it.
"Okay, sir."
The waiter held the decanter in one hand and a white handkerchief in the other, gently supporting it as he slowly and accurately poured the red wine into two high-heeled glasses.
Wow...
As the waiter stopped moving, two glasses of red wine were poured.
The waiter wiped the mouth of the decanter clean and left it on the table.
They were placed in front of Song Yaozu and Shu Wen respectively: "Please enjoy your meal."
Song Yaozu nodded gentlemanly, then took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it over.
"Thank you, sir. I wish you two a pleasant meal." After receiving the tip, the waiter happily left the box.
Song Yaozu raised his glass and looked at Shu Wen. "After all, we've known each other for so many years. Let's have a toast as a final farewell. After drinking this, I promise I'll never bother you again."
