Duan Yu noticed and quickly said, "Why aren't you wearing more clothes?"

It's cold outside, come inside quickly, there's heating in.

Jia Buxiu walked to Song Beiyou's side and said, "Let's go."

"Ah."

Song Beiyou responded and followed beside the two of them.

To the onlookers, this scene gave the impression of a princess being protected by her bodyguards.

This was Song Beiyou's first visit to the Duan family's old residence.

Even though they had long heard of the Duan family's immense wealth, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe upon seeing them for the first time.

Compared to the Bai family's lavish display of wealth in their home decoration, the Duan family's understated strength and refined taste better showcase their long-standing financial heritage.

Of course, none of these things were very appealing to Song Beiyou.

She continued to stay by Duan Yu and Jia Buxiu's side.

The further you go in, the more lively it becomes.

Inside the hall, the birthday celebrant, Madam Duan, had already come out and was standing in the center below the stage, receiving birthday wishes from everyone.

She had a bright smile and was completely unpretentious.

After saying "thank you" countless times, she looked at Lou Yue with surprise and delight, "Yueyue, what brings you back to attend this old lady's birthday banquet?"

Lou Yue missed the past two years' birthday banquets for Madam Duan because she was too busy with work and her workplace wouldn't approve her leave.

Lou Yue affectionately took Old Madam Duan's hand, "It's my godmother's 80th birthday, I have no reason not to come back."

I've given the gift to the housekeeper; remember to open it and check it later.

"Good, good." Madam Duan patted Lou Yue's hand with a look of satisfaction. "By the way, I'll introduce you to a little sister later."

After saying this, Madam Duan gestured for Lou Yue to come closer and whispered in her ear, "You can take a look at the girl that A Yao likes later."

"Oh?" Lou Yue's eyes were full of joy. "That's great! Didn't you say before that Brother Yao would be a bachelor for life?"

Now you can rest assured.

Madam Duan pursed her lips. "I'm not entirely at ease. It's still far from certain. The two of them have similar personalities, so I guess I'll have to give them a hand."

After all, she was her adopted daughter, so Old Madam Duan could say anything to Lou Yue.

Lou Yue chuckled, "Look at you, don't worry too much. Your health is the most important thing."

Madam Duan said with a kind smile, "I know, I know."

As soon as the words fell, Qin Shuyao, who was standing next to Madam Duan, saw a splash of green at the entrance and excitedly stomped her feet, "Grandma, she's here, she's here, our little aunt is here."

The sound was quite loud; several people standing in the vicinity heard it.

He immediately looked toward the entrance, following Qin Shuyao's words.

This includes Duan Yuan and Lou Yue.

Among the crowd, a gossipy old woman exclaimed upon seeing Song Beiyou, "Wow, this girl is so beautiful!"

But is she Song Beiyou from the Song family? The internet was flooded with news about her a few days ago.

"It seems to be Duan Yuan, isn't it her?"

When Duan Yuan heard someone asking her a question, she wished she could leave on the spot.

She was terrified that others would mention that Song Beiyou was the one who almost became her daughter-in-law.

However, everyone present had seen the news and felt deep sympathy for Song Beiyou, while also remembering that she was a woman with excellent dancing skills and a high level of education.

They couldn't even recall that Song Beiyou had ever been engaged to Qin Shuhao.

Duan Yuan was just overthinking it all.

Duan Yuan even felt ashamed to be seen by others.

Lou Yue glanced at Duan Yuan, then took her hand. "Sister Yuan."

Suddenly being pulled along, Duan Yuan felt as if she had gained a new source of strength and looked at Lou Yue with gratitude.

Lou Yue smiled slightly at her before turning her gaze toward the entrance.

With just one glance, Lou Yue said to Duan Yuan, whom she was holding hands with, "She is indeed a rare beauty. No wonder Brother Yao likes her."

Right, Sister Yuan?

Duan Yuan felt increasingly uncomfortable, thinking that Song Beiyou absolutely could not be with her brother.

Absolutely not. If we don't let her go out, how will she ever be able to hold her head high again?

After thinking it over, she glanced at the guests present.

......

Madam Duan, led by Qin Shuyao, had already greeted Song Beiyou, saying, "Youyou, you've arrived."

Song Beiyou smiled radiantly, "Madam, may your happiness be as boundless as the Eastern Sea and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountain."

"well!"

The maid beside her told Madam Duan that the gifts Song Beiyou had sent had been registered, which made the old lady mutter, "It's good that you came, what other gifts are needed?"

Song Beiyou maintained her smile, "Of course."

Unable to hide her fondness for Song Beiyou, Madam Duan simply took her hand and led her into the crowd, introducing her to the aunts, uncles, and members of the Duan family's collateral branches present.

Song Beiyou let the old lady lead him, remaining neither humble nor arrogant, and walking gracefully.

Previously, everyone had only heard of Song Beiyou from news and forums in Beijing's entertainment circle, but had never actually met him.

Today's meeting has left many people with an extremely stunning first impression.

Everyone present had seen noble ladies from prominent families in the capital, but none could compare to Song Beiyou.

So much so that even now, when Old Madam Duan brought Song Beiyou to Lou Yue and Duan Yuan, their eyes were still fixed on him.

Old Madam Duan led the person to Lou Yue and said, "Yueyue, this is Miss Song Beiyou, whom I just told you about."

Isn't it beautiful?

Youyou, this is Lou Yue, who is sitting next to me. She is A Yao's younger sister.

Come on, let's get to know each other.

Song Beiyou and Lou Yue are almost the same height.

The two nodded and looked directly at each other the moment after Madam Duan finished speaking.

Lou Yue extended her hand gracefully, "Hello, Miss Song. I am Lou Yue. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Song Beiyou also extended his hand and gently placed it on Lou Yue's fingertips. "Hello, Miss Lou, this is Song Beiyou."

Lou Yue is a lily swaying in the wind, while Song Beiyou is a rare desert rose that cannot be ignored.

The two of them standing together were quite eye-catching.

If we're talking about who wins, Song Beiyou is the obvious choice, but Lou Yue is also quite outstanding.

Their fingertips touched briefly, they exchanged a few simple glances, and then withdrew their fingers.

Madam Duan was even happier. She pretended to have something to do, but actually wanted to go to a corner to ask if Duan Yao had arrived. She told Song Beiyou, Lou Yue and the others to do as they pleased.

The various performances at the scene were lively and exciting.

Jia Buxiu met some acquaintances and chatted about something, while Duan Yu was pulled away by his grandmother, leaving only Qin Shuyao by Song Beiyou's side.

She led Song Beiyou to the dessert table, saying, "Have something to eat first. These are all custom-made by my grandmother according to your taste."

Song Beiyou was flattered and exclaimed, "Wow!"

Through so many interactions, I can truly feel Madam Duan's care and love.

She took the tiramisu Qin Shuyao handed her, took a small bite, and the silky chocolate flavor filled her mouth.

Duan Yuan came over from the side and said, "Shuyao, come here for a moment. I have a few words to say to you."

"Oh, oh." Qin Shuyao responded and looked at Song Beiyou, "My mom is calling me, I'll be right back."

Song Beiyou nodded and continued to stand in place.

Not long after Qin Shuyao left, a slightly overweight young man walked over. "Oh, isn't this Miss Song?"

As he said this, he gradually approached Song Beiyou.

Song Beiyou sensed the person approaching and turned his head to look at him.

Without saying a word, his eyes were already asking who the other person was.

The young man, Duan Yang, was from a collateral branch of the Duan family. He sized up Song Beiyou's delicate face and smirked, "What? Don't you recognize your old flame?"
