The three had breakfast together in Tawana’s room, after which Charlie wade took Song Rife to explore central Shanghai.
It was Song Rife’s first time experiencing Shanghai up close, and everything felt fresh and fascinating.
When Charlie wade bought tickets to cruise the Huangpu River, she couldn’t help but marvel inwardly at how wonderful freedom felt.
In the afternoon, Charlie wade took her to Tawana’s concert venue.
That evening, Song Rife watched Tawana’s entire concert from the side of the stage. Charlie wade could tell she was utterly amazed by the experience, likely having never had the chance to attend such a performance before.
…
Over the next few days, Song Rife stayed close to Charlie wade, never straying more than ten meters from his side, no matter where they went.
Notably, Charlie wade hadn’t asked her to do so, it was entirely her own choice.
Tawana’s performances were flawless, and after her final show concluded successfully, she planned to stay in Shanghai for two more days to do some live streams, promoting the city to international audiences for free.
Her previous live stream in Beijing had sparked an unprecedented surge in tourists, with countless foreign visitors flocking to the city, making Beijing the world’s hottest travel destination.
While Tawana stayed to stream, Charlie wade didn’t wait for the final concert to end. Instead, he drove Song Rife overnight, leaving Shanghai for Aurous Hill.
On the road, Song Rife was visibly excited, eager to see the city where Charlie wade lived and to meet Grace Lowes, one of the four earls, Earl Calivet.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Wade, what kind of person is Earl Calivet? Is she easy to get along with?”
Charlie wade thought for a moment and said, “I haven’t interacted much with Earl Calivet, but I can assure you she’s quite approachable. Plus, both of you are under pressure to detoxify, so you can help and support each other in this matter.”
Charlie wade brought her to the Champs-Élysées Hot Spring Hotel, where she finally met the much-anticipated Grace Lowes.
When Charlie wade introduced Song Rife to Grace Lowes, Grace was pleasantly surprised, saying, “Hello, Miss Song! Mr. Wade has mentioned you many times, and I’ve been looking forward to your arrival!”
Song Rife still carried some lingering effects from her time with the Po Qing Society. Seeing the stunningly beautiful Grace Lowes, she felt awe and respectfully clasped her fists, bowing humbly with utmost deference, “This subordinate greets Earl Calivet!”
Grace Lowes gave a self-deprecating smile, “Earl Calivet is a thing of the past. You can just call me by my name from now on, no need for titles. That was a name Wu Fiona gave me, and I’ve never liked it. Also, don’t call yourself my subordinate, we have no formal hierarchy.”
Song Rife realized she was no longer part of the Po Qing Society.
Flustered, she said humbly, “My apologies, Miss Grace, I was presumptuous!”
Grace Lowes smiled faintly, “No worries, I just have a deep hatred for the Po Qing Society, so I’m a bit particular. Please don’t mind.”
Charlie wade spoke up, “From today, Miss Song will stay here as well. Miss Grace, if you have any insights, feel free to share them with Miss Song. I’ll visit you both often when I have time, I’ll prepare tomorrow and come see you in the afternoon.”
“No problem,” both women nodded in agreement.
Charlie wade planned to bring two Peiyuan Pills tomorrow. While the pills couldn’t detoxify them, they could significantly boost their strength and the intensity of their spiritual energy, which would be a tremendous help.
