Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Red Flowers and Green Leaves

Downstairs in the restaurant, Qiao Rui chose a large pile of her favorite foods: crab roe buns, meat zongzi, shrimp dumplings, and so on, filling a large plate. She sat down and began to eat.

Pei Liyan saw her eating so much and slightly furrowed his brow. "Why is it all carbs?"

"Can’t it be carbs?" Qiao Rui retorted.

At this time, Si Ran also picked out Pei Liyan’s favorite foods for him, helping place them in front of him.

Qiao Rui saw he didn’t start eating and was being served by Si Ran; he really was being quite the ancestor.

After Si Ran had settled Pei Liyan, he then went to get something to eat for himself.

"You really are an ancestor," Qiao Rui muttered discontentedly as she teased him.

Pei Liyan raised an eyebrow and said, "You sleep with an ancestor, and you have the affection of an ancestor, isn’t that very fortunate?"

Qiao Rui was stunned by his words, never having expected him to speak like that.

Utterly unreasonable.

"Then according to what you’re saying, sleeping with an ancestor would be so messed up, and it’s also against ethics and morals," Qiao Rui argued.

"How exciting!" Pei Liyan said unhurriedly.

Qiao Rui: "...."

Just then, He Zheng had also arrived, accompanied by Fang Mo.

Qiao Rui noticed these people, every morning they’d have breakfast at around seven o’clock and didn’t lounge around in bed.

All of them sat down, and this time He Zheng didn’t make any jokes, seriously having his meal.

On the other hand, Si Ran was very restrained.

Although he seemed calm, Qiao Rui was observant and still caught some clues from Si Ran’s tense sitting posture.

He Zheng, although he glanced at Si Ran a few times thoughtfully, didn’t linger much on him.

Not long after, Fu Yichen and Qiao Xiang also arrived.

As they were choosing which table to sit at, they seemed to want to go elsewhere, but He Zheng spoke up, "Come, sit over here!"

Fu Yichen had no choice but to sit down with Qiao Xiang.

During the meal, Qiao Xiang kept her head down, expressionless. She was no longer as arrogant as before; her eyes were slightly swollen and she had lost some weight.

After breakfast, Fu Yichen couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Pei, tonight, I want to take Xiangxiang back to Qingcheng. Is it possible for us to leave?"

Once he spoke, everyone could hear that he was probing.

If they could leave, it meant Pei Liyan had let it go, and the police would not pursue it further.

Pei Liyan looked up at Fu Yichen and counter-questioned, "Is this what you want to ask, or is it Qiao Xiang who wants to ask?"

Qiao Xiang was startled and instinctively looked at Pei Liyan, choked by his piercing gaze.

She pursed her lips and said directly, "I’m the one asking."

"No, this is what I’m asking." Fu Yichen immediately looked at Qiao Xiang. "Qiao Xiang, it was me who asked, why lie?"

Qiao Xiang gave a bitter smile and said, "What you ask, and what I ask, there’s no difference now."

Pei Liyan looked at them calmly and said, "Whether you can leave or not, wait for the news."

Fu Yichen’s shoulders slumped.

Qiao Xiang also tightened her lips.

He Zheng said, "Just wait, the news will come soon."

At ten-thirty in the morning.

Song Xun and Shen Shuyi came to Ludao again, bringing good news.

Qiao Xiang was considered a victim and wouldn’t be held responsible for anything.

Seeing such a result, He Lan puckered her lips, looked at Qiao Rui, and asked, "She’s become the victim now, what about you and me?"

"I’m still me, and you’re still you!" Qiao Rui said.

He Lan: "......"

Fu Yichen was thrilled and excitedly grasped Qiao Xiang’s hand. "It’s alright now, Xiangxiang, we can go back to Qingcheng in a bit."

"Yeah!" Qiao Xiang nodded vigorously, visibly excited.

The Shen Family indeed had influence.

Qiao Rui hadn’t expected the Shen Family to be able to influence the case so rapidly; she suddenly understood why Mrs. Song insisted that Song Xun had to be with Shen Shuyi.

Because that was the best assistance.

Pei Liyan kept Song Xun and Shen Shuyi in Ludao for a meal. Shen Shuyi said with a smile, "Mr. Pei, we need to return to the Song Family, the mother wants to entertain Mr. Jiang and Muyu, and asked us to go back, too."

Qiao Rui was startled; Mrs. Song was doing this on purpose.

To call the four of them together to let Song Xun and Shen Shuyi show their affection, and to wear down Muyu’s spirit.

This move was very astute, both killing and punishing emotionally.

The Song Family.

When Song Muyu and Jiang Jinfeng returned together, the Song Family butler welcomed them at the door with great enthusiasm.

As they entered the house, Mrs. Song greeted them with a smile and said, "You are early after all; Song Xun and Shuyi are engaged now and living together, so they wake up much later than before and haven’t arrived yet."

Song Muyu’s heart felt constricted upon hearing this, yet she still managed a smile, looking at Mrs. Song. "Mom, Brother and Sister-in-law are on their honeymoon, why did you also ask them to come back?"

"Of course, for the family to have a meal together, you and Mr. Jiang are going back to Qingcheng, and who knows when you’ll come again," Mrs. Song said with a smile.

Jiang Jinfeng glanced at Mrs. Song; she seemed kind and gentle, and at face value, nothing seemed amiss.

But upon closer inspection, one might notice that every word of Mrs. Song was laden with subtext.

Jiang Jinfeng smiled gently, his expression a mixture of sincerity and pretense. "Mrs. Song, I thought you were just inviting me alone, I’ve been feeling anxious for a long time, thinking you held Jinfeng in such high regard, but I didn’t expect that Muyu and I would merely be the backdrop, while Mr. Song and Miss Shen are the main event."

Mrs. Song’s expression changed slightly at that, but she quickly regained her composure and continued smiling. "Mr. Jiang, such a remark is really making me feel like an outsider. In my heart, you and Muyu are the main event, and they are the backdrop."

"Muyu surely is the main event, she’s as beautiful as a flower," Jiang Jinfeng chimed in naturally.

Mrs. Song smiled again. "Of course, our Muyu is beautiful; come, sit down for some tea. When Song Xun and his little wife arrive, we’ll all eat together."

"Alright, Mrs. Song." Jiang Jinfeng replied with a smile, preparing to sit down.

Song Muyu then said, "Mom, I’ll take Jinfeng upstairs to see my room first, we’ll come down for the meal."

Jiang Jinfeng then said, "Muyu, it’s not quite appropriate for me to visit your boudoir on my first visit."

Mrs. Song regained her composure and immediately interjected, "It’s perfectly fine, you’re not an outsider, go on."

Jiang Jinfeng smiled faintly, but this smile held a sharper edge than before.

Mrs. Song truly had unusual thoughts; for the sake of her son and future daughter-in-law’s happiness, she could disregard Muyu’s reputation.

"Then I shall comply respectfully," he said.

The two of them went upstairs.

When they reached the door, Song Muyu opened it and said, "Please, come in!"

"It’s a private space, I won’t enter."

"Really not coming in?" Song Muyu asked with a smile.

"I won’t go in," Jiang Jinfeng replied.

"Alright then, wait for me," Song Muyu said as she placed her bag in her room. "Let’s go to the balcony."

Knowing she had gone upstairs to avoid her mother’s interrogation.

"Muyu, why do you have to make it hard on yourself?" Jiang Jinfeng looked at her disapprovingly. "If you don’t want to stay, we can head back to Qingcheng right now."

"I owe the Song Family," Muyu said with a smile. "The debt of upbringing is enormous."
