Cynical Romantics - Chapter 4 Banque

“Do you think big brother would come to the banquet tonight?” asked Song Jinyi. Song Ren growled at how tight her dress was to place on, she then responded, “I would not expect it,” she said as the associate tried to help Song Ren fit into her dress.

Qian Meigui had already selected her dress. It did not take long for her to pick something, especially in an expensive boutique. Qian Meigui inwardly felt upset at Song Ren’s response.

They had not seen Song Sheng in six months. Though Qian Meigui was not particularly close to Song Sheng, she felt that the twins had missed their elder brother, even Song Ren, but she does not admit to it. Even she missed him. He left without a word or a good-bye, and had not been seen by anyone, not even the media outlets.

He was twenty-two years old, and he’s grown enough for no one to look for him. Though Qian Meigui felt unsettled by the thought that he may not come home for a long time, or contact the Song family for a while. But she knew he has to reveal himself eventuallyas he is the heir to Song Group.

Later in the afternoon, Qian Meigui changed into her dress with Song Jinyi and Song Ren. Song Ren wore a champagne-gold bodice that complimented her hourglass figure. Song Jinyi wore a short baby blue dress that made her look younger. And Qian Meigui wore a dusty-rose lace dress with flared sleeves, making her look smaller than she was.

Song Ren had straightened out her jet-black hair and applied gold eye shadow to complimented her dress and eyes. Song Ren glanced at her, and smiled, which did not happen often, “Mei Mei, will you be going to the banquet, with your hair like that?” Qian Meigui frowned and looked away ashamed. Song Ren smiled warmly again, “No worries sister, I will do it for you.” Qian Meigui nodded her head, “Mhm.”

Qian Meigui could see Song Ren in the mirror, she was envious at how straight her hair was and expressed it loudly. “Nonsense, we all have different styles. I like my hair straight,” Song Ren responded while curling the ends of her hair.

Qian Meigui’s hair would be frizzy during summer days. “You see your hair is natural wavy, and that is your style. I am only tightening your waves so that you don’t lose any of what makes you, you and pretty,” Song Ren said. Qian Meigui smiled shyly. Even though her parents were dead, she didn’t expect to get a kind sister in exchange.

She then asked her sister a question that had been on her mind, “Do you really believe Song Sheng would not come tonight?” Song Ren sighed and replied, “I don’t know what to expect from Brother, he often keeps things to himself and then reveals things during crucial moments.” Qian Meigui felt that there was a tinge of hurt in Song Ren’s voice. Though Song Ren barely showed any feelings, as she always composed herself well, just like Song Sheng. “All right. You are ready.” Qian Meigui glanced at herself in the mirror, and smiled.

Song Ren applied light makeup on her, going for a natural look and her long hair was curled into soft waves. She smiled at her reflection at the thought that she could be as pretty as Song Ren and Song Jinyi.

Song Jinyi barged into the room and said, “Are you two readyWow! Mei Mei, you look hot!” Qian Meigui laughed and Song Ren chuckled as she covered her mouth like a lady of nobility.

The three girls then departed with Song Jun waiting impatiently at the foyer of their mansion. “Ladies, Let’s go,” he said irritated. Song Jinyi then placed at hand over her brother’s shoulder and pushed him forward as she rolled her eyes.
