Best friend turned enemy? Marrying the villain, if she runs, I'll run too.

"Next, Miss Meng and Miss Li will perform a duet, 'Flowers Bloom and the Moon is Full,' to wish the old gentleman a long and happy life!"

Meng Tang and Li Su walked onto the stage hand in hand.

Meng Tang wore a pink retro square-neck fitted evening gown, with valuable pink diamonds adorning the skirt, exuding a sweet yet understated luxury.

Li Su, on the other hand, wore a pure white strapless shawl evening gown, with a pearl necklace worth a house around her snow-white swan neck, like a proud and pure white peacock, looking down on all living beings.

But the way they looked at each other was so tender, as if they were each other's only one.

Li Su sat at the piano, while Meng Tang held the violin.

As soon as the two stepped onto the stage, some people in the audience recognized them immediately.

"Isn't that Li Su, that actress who's been really popular lately?"

"Yes, it really is her! I love the movie 'Who Killed Me' that she starred in. She's beautiful, cool, and a great actress. I never expected the Song family to invite her!"

"Speaking of which, since she became a sensation, I don't think I've seen her attend any banquets. As expected of the Song family, one of the richest families in Jiangcheng, they were able to invite Li Su. I wonder if there will be a chance to take a photo with her and get her autograph after the performance?"

Li Su's appearance caused quite a stir, with many people taking out their phones and snapping photos of the stage.

Meng Tang joked, "It seems our Teacher Li has become a superstar in the public eye. I wonder if performing with such a star will make me famous too?"

"I, a big star who gets to show my face, and you, a great director who doesn't, are a perfect match."

The two stood side by side and, before the ensemble began, gave each other a perfect "V" sign to the camera.

When the music started, the melodious violin and piano duet created a scene like a fairyland, and everyone realized that they had underestimated Meng Tang and Li Su's abilities.

I originally thought the two of them were just going through the motions to celebrate Old Master Song's birthday.

Unexpectedly, they not only actually play musical instruments, but their skill level is comparable to that of professional performers.

Song Guanting stood tall, in the front row, in the most conspicuous position.

Even the dignified CEO, like everyone else, took out his phone and started snapping photos of the stage.

He was enjoying taking pictures of his wife when "Sick Pig Fu" popped up and sent several messages in a row, making it impossible for Song Guanting to take pictures of his wife properly.

Song Guanting opened the message with great disdain.

Fu Bingzhu: [Take a few pictures of my wife.]

This obnoxious, commanding tone is just as detestable as Fu Jishu himself.

Song Guanting replied expressionlessly: "My camera never films other people's wives."

Fu Jishu, on the other side of the screen, was furious after seeing the reply.

Fu Jishu sneered and threatened: "If you don't want to film, I'll come myself. Whether the banquet can continue is another matter. I'll also tell your wife that you insisted I come. You'd better watch out."

Ha, does this guy think he's easily scared?

Song Guanting didn't care whether the birthday banquet could go on or not, but if Fu Jishu complained to Meng Tang...

Song Guanting clicked his tongue in displeasure. To be honest, this guy really could do something so childish and shameless.

Meng Tang and Li Su rehearsed together for a whole day for this performance, and they couldn't let Fu Jishu ruin it.

Finally, still annoyed, Song Guanting sent Fu Jishu two solo photos of Li Su on stage.

Fu Jishu opened the original photo, glanced at it, and immediately frowned: "What kind of skill is this? How could you take such a blurry picture of my wife? Take a new one."

He even wanted to save it as a screensaver.

But after waiting for a while, Song Guanting still didn't send any new pictures.

Fu Jishu sent a question mark in surprise.

The WeChat message reads: "Song Fenggou has enabled friend verification. You are not yet his friend. Please send a friend request first. You can chat only after he accepts your request."

That dog Song Guanting actually blocked him!

Fu Jishu frantically sent friend requests, and Song Guanting frantically clicked "reject."

While the two bigwigs were engaged in a childish tug-of-war on WeChat, Mr. Song personally came out to watch the performance.

Grandpa Song even closed his eyes in satisfaction to listen attentively to this perfectly coordinated performance, nodding approvingly.

"Not bad, this level of performance is comparable to that of professionals. It seems that the Meng family has a good upbringing. Xiao Tang is a good child."

Seeing Old Master Song praise Meng Tang, Gao Yali curled her lips and then revealed a worried yet hesitant expression.

"Dad, actually the people on stage are... never mind, on such a good day, let's not talk about these things, lest some people spoil your mood."

Old Master Song frowned. "You're stammering. What are you trying to say? What's wrong with the person on stage?"

Gao Yali pointed in a direction, "Dad, the woman playing the piano on stage is called Li Su. She is not only a star, but also Fu Jishu's wife."

The old man, who had just been smiling with satisfaction, suddenly performed a "smile disappearing act," almost choking on his own breath.

"What did you say? Fu Jishu's wife? Who let her in? Who gave her permission to be on stage? Get this woman off the stage right now!"

While trying to calm Grandpa Song down, Gao Yali said, "Dad, please calm down. Your health is important. Don't get angry. I just received the news that Li Su was specially invited by Xiao Tang to perform."

"I originally thought that Xiaotang and Guanting had come to celebrate your birthday together and had even prepared such a wonderful performance for you, so they must have repented. I didn't expect that not only did she not repent, but she also brought the Fu family members to the banquet in a blatant manner."

"They even performed in public. Doesn't this tell everyone that the Fu family is at the Song family's banquet, and that the Song family wants to reconcile with the Fu family?"

Old Master Song slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage. "This is outrageous! Outrageous! Bring both of them down here!"

Gao Yali stopped him and revealed her true purpose: "Dad, Xiaotang dared to bring the Fu family to the banquet, so Guanting must know about it. If you confront them directly, given Guanting's personality, he might disrupt the entire birthday banquet."

"It would be a laughing stock for no reason. Actually, it's not difficult to resolve this matter. We just need to follow the plan we made earlier. As long as Guan Ting is free from those who are instigating him, the Song family will naturally be able to save face."

Old Master Song's face was gloomy as he gripped his cane tightly.

After a long pause, he finally made up his mind: "I can't let them run wild anymore. Let's do it your way."

Gao Yali revealed a confident smile, "Dad, don't worry, as long as Meng Tang is gone, Guan Ting will definitely return to his original position and won't do anything out of line again."
