Chapter 153: Chapter 153 I Have No Way Out

Song Muyu was taken aback and subconsciously looked toward her father, but was so intimidated by his authority that she swallowed back the words she was about to refuse with.

Song Xun turned his head and glanced at Song Muyu, his expression darkening when he saw her downcast eyes.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Song spoke, "Attending the engagement is natural. Muyu is Song Xun’s sister; she must be present at the engagement."

Song Muyu stiffened, then forced a rigid smile. "Of course, I must attend my brother’s engagement."

"Uncle, I’m sorry," Qiao Rui interjected at this moment. "Muyu has just suffered a severe mental blow and needs to see a psychologist in Qingcheng. I have already made an appointment for her."

Song Huaisan was startled and turned his gaze towards Qiao Rui. "Is Muyu sick? Why didn’t I know?"

Mrs. Song’s expression also stiffened somewhat awkwardly. She glared at her husband and said, "You, with your poor eyesight, fail to see how hurt the child is."

Song Huaisan’s gaze returned to Song Muyu’s face.

Song Muyu turned her head to look at Qiao Rui, naturally understanding her intent.

She saw her own sorrow, so she wanted her to leave.

She gratefully looked at Qiao Rui, a look that Song Huaisan noticed, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Severely traumatized?" Song Huaisan’s tone was emotionless, as if merely repeating a fact.

Qiao Rui could also sense his lack of genuine concern from his tone.

Qiao Rui spoke up, "Uncle, if you’re worried about Muyu not being able to attend Mr. Song’s engagement ceremony, there’s no need. When the engagement happens, Muyu will return to Liancheng. Regardless, she will meet her sister-in-law there, and propriety will be maintained."

Upon hearing this, Song Huaisan finally seemed a bit satisfied and nodded. "In that case, she should go see the doctor first!"

"Thank you, uncle." Qiao Rui suddenly felt a bit sad for Song Muyu.

Mr. Song’s attitude and the depth of his concern for Muyu probably weren’t very profound.

A typical father, upon hearing his daughter was almost harmed, would be furious, and would spare no effort or expense to settle the matter.

But Mr. Song’s concern for Muyu was not that profound.

Lack of concern, lack of importance; naturally, he wouldn’t be fond of her.

This might also be one of the reasons why Muyu didn’t strive to seek a resolve with Song Xun.

She still looked at Song Muyu with worry and pity.

Song Muyu cynically tugged at her lip, no words needed, a single look enough to convey emotions between best friends.

Song Muyu smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, Brother, Ruirui and I will head back to Qingcheng first. I’ll be back on the day of the engagement."

The moment she finished speaking, she smiled at Mr. and Mrs. Song, displaying a flawless smile.

But anyone could see how forced her smile was.

After finishing speaking, Song Muyu walked towards Qiao Rui; she couldn’t stay in this home another minute, fearing her fragility, unable to stop herself from crying.

So, she said to Qiao Rui, "Let’s go, Ruirui."

"Okay." Qiao Rui nodded and also spoke to Mr. and Mrs. Song, "Uncle, Auntie, we’ll be leaving first."

"You haven’t had breakfast yet," Mrs. Song hurriedly said. "No matter how rushed, you can’t leave without eating."

"Mom, my assistant has prepared it; we’ll eat on the road," Song Muyu said, then turned to Pei Liyan, "Mr. Pei, goodbye."

Pei Liyan also nodded slightly and said, "Since you’re going back to Qingcheng, I’m heading that way too; it’s good to have someone to look after each other. Let’s go together!"

After he finished, he didn’t give the Song family any more chances to speak, saying, "Uncle, Auntie, we won’t disturb you further. We’ll come again during the brother’s engagement ceremony."

"Mr. Pei is too polite," Song Huaisan didn’t press them. "If that’s settled, then that’s settled. Song Xun, go and see them off."

"Yes," Song Xun had been silent throughout.

Outside the Song family’s door.

Qiao Rui and Song Muyu had already reached the doorway, and because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to leave, they hadn’t notified Qi Yun.

Pei Liyan had also made a last-minute decision to join them.

Consequently, there was no car.

Song Xun had someone prepare a car to take them.

But just then, a black car drove up and stopped in front of Qiao Rui and Song Muyu.

The driver got out of the car, treating Qiao Rui with great respect. "Miss, please get in the car!"

Qiao Rui was also a bit surprised, not expecting that Qi Yun had arranged for a driver to wait.

Indeed, it was excellent to have duties carried out in advance, smart and capable.

She nodded in approval. "Muyu, let’s go."

Song Muyu also nodded, not even turning her head before getting into the car.

Behind them, Pei Liyan and Song Xun were both surprised.

A car, waiting outside, a black car with ordinary license plates, was so inconspicuous and discreetly blended into the crowd that it was invisible.

After Song Muyu got in the car, Qiao Rui then turned to look at Pei Liyan and Song Xun, giving a slight smile. "Mr. Pei, Mr. Song, this is where we part."

Pei Liyan’s eyes tightened, his gaze sharply fixed on Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui smiled again, saying, "Mr. Pei, you needn’t bother looking after us anymore. We’re leaving first, goodbye."

"Miss Rui is quite capable," Pei Liyan responded with a faint smile, not insisting further and directly said, "Since you don’t need my care, then I won’t insist. Goodbye."

Qiao Rui glanced once more at Song Xun, saying, "Your engagement party will surely be a lively one. Muyu will attend."

Song Xun’s pupils constricted, his eyes sharply studying Qiao Rui.

"Miss Rui, you don’t have to speak in riddles."

"Speaking in riddles?" Qiao Rui suddenly smiled, saying, "Mr. Song, are you perhaps reading too much into it? Frankly, why even hold an engagement party, just go straight to the wedding."

"Thank you for the suggestion, Miss Rui. I might consider your proposal," Song Xun said through gritted teeth, word by word.

With the car door open, Song Muyu naturally heard his words.

Song Xun’s eyes intensely stared at the car ahead, as if he wanted to bore a hole through it.

"Then I wish you a happy marriage," Qiao Rui said, then looked towards Pei Liyan. "Oh, Mr. Pei, you also got married recently, I wish you happiness as well."

After saying this, she blinked her eyes, not staying a second longer, and got into the car and left.

The car sped away.

Pei Liyan squinted, staring after the departing car, that delicate figure, her eyes and brows filled with arrogance, even mocking and satirizing himself.

Pei Liyan couldn’t help but clench his fists, his eyes and brows seeming to accommodate only that graceful figure.

"A golden scale is surely not a common thing," Song Xun moved his throat, feeling a bit helpless, yet somewhat relieved. "Muyu is fortunate to have such a friend."

Pei Liyan looked at Song Xun, knowing he recognized the woman’s uniqueness, and felt similarly amazed in his heart.

"Truly not a common thing," Pei Liyan smiled slightly. "She can bend and stretch, able to intervene when necessary."

"Indeed," Song Xun managed a bitter smile.

"Brother Song, Miss Shen of the Shen Family, once you get engaged, the consequences..."

Pei Liyan didn’t finish his sentence.

Song Xun bitterly smiled, "I understand your point, afraid that in the end, the hurt will be deeper."

Pei Liyan nodded.

"Brother Pei," Song Xun gave a bitter smile. "But I have no way out."
