Mr. Wang Linkai was visibly surprised when he saw the small boy showing such an arrogant personality. It was really like the young master. However, what the little boy just said was a bit too exaggerated, okay?
Young master Song was not even married, how can he get a son already?
"Little master, don't you mean nephew?" Mr. Wang Linkai was careful enough to still act respectful and polite in front of the little boy. Though his identity was uncertain and unheard of, he still came to the party with Young master Song.
Little Zhanzhan huffed. This old man doesn't believe me?
Raising his head up to see his father, Little Zhanzhan showed an aggrieved expression to his father.
Song Yu Han raised an eyebrow. It took him a second to understand that Little Zhanzhan wanted him to resolve this misunderstanding because he couldn't be bothered to talk to someone who doesn't believe him.
As expected, Little Zhanzhan no longer spoke nor gave Mr. Wang Linkai his attention, completely treating him as if he was just a pole standing there.
Mr. Wang Linkai never met such a grumpy and indifferent child in his life. He was somewhat speechless. But then, he saw Song Yu Han staring at him silently.
It would have been alright if Song Yu Han was looking at him for just a second with a mocking or disgusted look, but he was looking at him for a full three seconds with no words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, a notion struck him like a bus.
Mr. Wang Linkai somehow found a link that gave him a shock. He looked at Song Yu Han then at Little Zhanzhan, then looked at Little Zhanzhan to Song Yu Han.
Their faces...
It's too alike!
"Was I wrong?" asked Mr. Wang Linkai. "This boy is really... Is this really Young master Song's son?"
Song Yu Han lifted one corner of his lips, "Yes, he's my son."
Mr. Wang Linkai felt his soul drifting out of his body. "I... I apologize! I didn't know and offended both the young master and the little master!"
The Wang family in the Flower Capital was not directly under the Song family. After a feud had broken into the Wang family, Wang Linkai's branch family held onto Song Yu Han while the main family and the other branch families decided to side with the entire Song family.
But, it must have been his fate or his ancestor's good fortune, the side branch Wang Linkai was in survived and was not sacrificed as a scapegoat by the Song family.
Right now, the fight for inheritance in the Song family was the most heated and dangerous phase. Every member of the Song family brought their own aides and confidants who would bring up their value and get more inheritance.
And Song Yu Han, the patriarch Song's favorite child, suddenly got a son... Was this a declaration of war against the rest of the Song family?
Song Yu Han could half deduce what Mr. Wang Linkai was thinking and said with his voice lowered, "Keep today's event from leaking to the Song family. I don't want them to find out about my son for now."
Mr. Wang Linkai vigorously nodded. He followed everything that the young master said and ordered.
Just now, Song Yu Han said that he won't reveal his son's existence for now... It means that he will make an official announcement soon.
...
Ran Xueyi did not know what happened on their side and sat alone on one of the lounging chairs in the ballroom. Other females from prominent and wealthy families also sat there to rest their aching feet.
"Aren't you Ran Xueyi, the celebrity?" one of the females recognized her.
Hearing her words, the other ladies also recognized Ran Xueyi. They shot her their judgemental gazes, but it was fewer than the admiring looks she was getting from other females surrounding her.
"You know you're really amazing... None in our social class could ever do what you did!" One of the ladies who admired Ran Xueyi commented.
"I heard you left home and rejected your family's support. I could never do that brave act even if I tried to," she continued. "I could never live without my parents' money."

Ran Xueyi was amused by their questions and replied, "I don't know... It just happened."
She kept her replies short and quick. No one could pick a bone with what she said.
Although these ladies had admiring looks on their faces, Ran Xueyi was not new to mingling with the upper class ladies. She knew at a glance when one had other intentions. And right now, these ladies kept their jealousy of her freedom under wraps while vocally expressing their adulation.
Ran Xueyi felt that it was time to leave their side before these ladies showed their real nature. As she stood up, one of the ladies sitting beside her, stepped on Ran Xueyi's dress. Due to this, Ran Xueyi slightly lost her balance and tilted sideward.
The way her body was positioned looked like she was about to fall hard on her butt. When the other ladies saw this, they celebrated inwardly. Nobody wanted someone to defeat them in any situation.
At this party, everyone was hoping to find their prospective marriage partners. Yet, Ran Xueyi just had to appear and steal everyone's attention. It was unforgivable.
Ran Xueyi did not expect that ladies from the upper class would still use this kind of method to bully others.
It has been three years since she had been apart from the society yet, it seems that nothing really changed there.
It was still the same dirty, muddy swamp filled with crabs pulling down on each other.
Ran Xueyi felt disgusted just thinking of it and didn't want these people to feel any satisfaction on her account.
And so, she quickly balanced her body to avoid falling.
But then, a pair of hands suddenly touched her. One was wrapped around her waist while the other was holding her hand.
When Ran Xueyi looked at the direction where these hands came from... She saw Song Yu Han and Little Zhanzhan, who came in time.
