Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Good Friends

Song Muyu walked arm in arm with Jiang Jinfeng, smiling faintly as they approached.

Her body was a bit stiff, and the smile on her face a bit forced.

Although she was trying her best to maintain a light and breezy demeanor, the barely-held smile betrayed her true feelings, showing she was anything but strong.

Especially when Song Xun glanced at her, she felt as though she had been struck by lightning.

To make things worse, her mother called out to her, adding to her embarrassment.

With just one look, Qiao Rui saw right through Song Muyu’s current psychological state.

Jiang Jinfeng kept his face adorned with an appropriately measured smile, lowering his voice to gently remind her, "Relax, don’t be so nervous, just pretend they are all potatoes."

Song Muyu was already quite nervous, and upon hearing Jiang Jinfeng’s words, she couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

"Can you not make me laugh like that?"

It hurt her stomach to laugh even a little now.

After all, she had come to the engagement party before fully recovering.

There wasn’t enough time, it had only been two days.

Yet time also seemed to drag on, as if it had been so long since only two days had passed.

"Hold back, don’t be too overjoyed or too sorrowful, transcend above it all, they are all potatoes! Potatoes, spuds, tubers, earth eggs..." Jiang Jinfeng continued to smile and tease her.

The smile at the corner of Song Muyu’s lips grew even larger.

Just holding hands with a man and smiling so radiantly made Song Xun’s eyes tighten.

He stood there, his body rigid, his gaze coldly fixed on Song Muyu and Jiang Jinfeng, with tumultuous undercurrents in his eyes.

Finally, Song Xun withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at her.

Only then did Song Muyu raise her eyes, slowly looking towards Song Xun.

But he had already averted his gaze and was not looking back at her.

Mrs. Song stepped forward and took hold of Song Muyu’s other hand.

She seemed very pleased. "Muyu, why haven’t you come home?"

"Mom, I didn’t get the chance," Song Muyu replied quietly without daring to look directly into her mother’s eyes: "I’ve been too busy."

"Yes, you’ve all been too busy." Mrs. Song glanced between Song Muyu and Jiang Jinfeng, a very happy smile in her eyes.

She scrutinized Jiang Jinfeng up and down like a mother-in-law examining her son-in-law, her inspection earnest and picky yet thoroughly satisfied.

Jiang Jinfeng looked at Mrs. Song with a gentle smile, "Madame, congratulations on being promoted to prospective mother-in-law. I am Jiang Jinfeng, Muyu’s close friend."

"Mr. Jiang, you are too kind, thank you for your congratulations, and welcome to Song Xun and Shuyi’s engagement party," replied Mrs. Song, holding Song Muyu’s hand while speaking with Jiang Jinfeng.

Song Muyu, whose hand was being held, stood obediently by her mother’s side, saying nothing.

Jiang Jinfeng was very adept at handling unfamiliar social situations, she didn’t need to worry at all.

"Madame, you are too kind, it is my honor to be here," Jiang Jinfeng smiled again and added, "Muyu’s big brother is also my big brother."

He said these words deliberately, making them ambiguous on purpose, so that Mrs. Song might misinterpret them.

It was also meant to show Song Xun that he should not be two-timing, and naturally, all this was for Muyu’s sake.

Jiang Jinfeng, however, was afraid that being too ambiguous could hurt Muyu and possibly affect her future, so he didn’t want to take it too far.

Thus, Song Xun also dared not overstep.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Song paused, then her smile brightened even more. Her eyes returned to her daughter, meeting Song Muyu’s eyes as she said, "That’s great, Muyu, I’m so happy you came back. What’s the matter? Why are your hands so cold?"

At her mother’s words, it was then that Jiang Jinfeng did a double-take, touching Song Muyu’s hand in front of Mrs. Song.

He, too, frowned slightly and, without a second word, took off his suit jacket and draped it over Song Muyu’s shoulders.

"I’m fine, just recently my hands have not been as warm as before, but I’m not cold at all," said Song Muyu. These words were an explanation to her mother, and also a way to reassure Jiang Jinfeng.

As a friend, she didn’t want to worry Jiang Jinfeng at all, especially since she had already troubled him and Qiao Rui too much.

She really didn’t want them to worry.

"Are you not feeling well? Why is your face so pale?" Mrs. Song looked at her and asked again.

Song Muyu didn’t know what to say for a moment, she lowered her head and stared at the hem of her gown.

Jiang Jinfeng immediately said, "Auntie, I apologize, it’s my neglect for not noticing Muyu’s condition."

Mrs. Song smiled, "She is not a child anymore, and she should be able to take care of herself. How can I blame you!"

"It’s my fault." Jiang Jinfeng took out his phone and made a call in front of Mrs. Song, "Bring over another cape of the same style for Muyu."

Mrs. Song was startled when she saw him making the call.

In a flash, Qi Yun arrived with the cape, and personally helped Song Muyu replace Jiang Jinfeng’s suit with it.

Mrs. Song’s expression changed.

At this time, the people standing at the door were all surprised.

Song Xun didn’t say a word.

On the other side, Pei Liyan and Qiao Rui both had not entered the banquet hall.

He Zheng followed them, and for a moment, the entrance to the banquet hall was crowded, quite lively.

Song Xun, however, didn’t glance at Song Muyu again.

He was silent, his gaze seemingly lost focus.

He didn’t even spare her a peripheral glance, treating her as if she were a stranger.

At this moment, Song Muyu, who had changed into the cape, handed the suit back to Jiang Jinfeng, her eyes full of gratitude towards him.

At the same time, as if by coincidence, she looked up and met Qiao Rui’s eyes. The glance lasted only a second, but the two exchanged a look that said everything, neither of them spoke.

Song Muyu hesitated for a moment, then said to Mrs. Song, "Mom, I’m going to congratulate my brother and sister-in-law."

"Let’s go!" Mrs. Song walked with her.

Song Muyu walked over to them.

Song Xun and Shen Shuyi stood together; they also looked like a great match, both handsome and beautiful, and they stood together in formal attire, harmoniously.

Song Muyu smiled slightly, "Brother, sister-in-law, congratulations on your engagement!"

"Is it Muyu?" Shen Shuyi immediately started laughing, "Thank you, I’ve always known that Muyu is a great beauty, but I never had the chance to meet you. Today I finally have, and you really are a great beauty."

"Sister-in-law, you’re more beautiful," Song Muyu smiled and said, "Otherwise, you would not have captured my brother’s heart. I wish you a lifetime of happiness and hope you have children soon."

Song Xun’s expression turned even darker, an aura of ’keep away from me’ emanated from him.

At this time, Shen Shuyi was only acting shyly and didn’t notice Song Xun’s mood.

Song Muyu glanced at Song Xun, and he happened to look over.

This time, when their eyes met, in the moment of eye contact, Song Xun turned his gaze to Jiang Jinfeng.

He faintly pulled his lips into a smile and asked thinly, "And you are?"

The tone clearly conveyed a strong hostility.

Suddenly, there was a subtle shift in the atmosphere.

Everyone was taken aback.

Shen Shuyi also realized that there was a dangerous air enveloping Song Xun.

She instinctively said, "Song Xun, this gentleman came with my sister, he must be a good friend of hers!"
