Chapter 321: Chapter 321 I Need You to Give Me an Explanation

Mrs. Song was startled, meeting Qiao Rui’s gaze and unexpectedly averted her eyes.

Qiao Rui just stood at the doorway, her cold eyes scanning the entire room, slicing across Song Muyu’s face. Seeing her state, her heart tightened instantly.

The originally calm expression immediately clouded over with distress upon seeing Song Muyu’s condition.

Then, she turned her gaze to Mrs. Song, a glint of icy sharpness flashed through her black eyes, gathering and freezing instantly.

This cold aura, this powerful presence, made Mrs. Song’s heart shudder, inexplicably nervous.

Even a chill rose up her back, momentarily making her forget to speak.

Qiao Rui didn’t speak further, she simply continued to stare coldly at Mrs. Song, her displeasure seemingly boiling in her blood.

This frigid gaze, at that moment, amassed into an oppressive force, coldly enveloping Mrs. Song, rendering her unable to move.

Mrs. Song, originally angry and on edge, immediately restrained herself.

Her expression slightly changed, and after a small pause, she spoke, "Oh, it’s Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei, what brings you here, how inappropriate."

"Auntie, we came to visit Miss Song." Pei Liyan’s eyes rested on Song Muyu’s face, noticing her downcast and disheveled state. Then he turned to Mrs. Song, speaking at the right time, "This incident was also due to my negligence in disciplining my subordinates, which led to the accident. I bear the main responsibility for Miss Song’s injury."

"It’s nothing." Mrs. Song suppressed her fear of Qiao Rui’s gaze, suddenly smiling faintly, "No need to worry, Muyu is fine, you two don’t need to be so concerned."

Qiao Rui was infuriated.

Even now, Mrs. Song is still acting; her acting skills could win her an award.

Song Muyu, seeing them arrive, also showed embarrassment.

She wanted to speak to Qiao Rui but feared revealing too much, so she pressed her lips together and gave them a pale smile.

Song Muyu struggled to stand up, maintaining a basic courtesy. "Mr. Pei, Mrs. Pei, my injury isn’t directly related to Fang Mo, but there is something I’d like to ask Mr. Pei—why go after my assistant Qi Yun? Why insist on taking her back?"

Pei Liyan glanced at her, calmly speaking without haste, "It was a misunderstanding."

Song Muyu stared at him, not avoiding his gaze, continuing, "A misunderstanding? Mr. Pei, your words completely evade responsibility; it doesn’t seem like a misunderstanding at all."

Pei Liyan tugged at his lips. "Your health is more important, Miss Song should focus on recovery first."

"Regarding this matter, I need you to give me an explanation." Song Muyu was resolute in her stance.

Mrs. Song, seeing her speaking to Pei Liyan like that, immediately scolded, "Muyu, what attitude is this? Speak nicely to Mr. Pei."

Song Muyu pressed her lips again but firmly said, "Mom, I’m being very polite already."

"Whatever needs to be discussed, say it now." Mrs. Song’s voice was stern.

Song Muyu, chastised, lowered her gaze but then lifted her head again, staring at Pei Liyan, insisting on an answer.

"You are not allowed to speak anymore." Mrs. Song interjected again.

Qiao Rui frowned, her face icy. "Aunt Song, such strict rules, not even allowing one to speak?"

Mrs. Song was taken aback; she remained courteous toward Qiao Rui, the wife of Pei Liyan.

After all, the Pei Family in Qingcheng was renowned for its economic stature.

Mrs. Song has always shown politeness to Pei Liyan, especially in the current uncertainty facing the Song Family; she’d never dare offend this financial boss of Qingcheng.

"Mrs. Pei, you must be joking." Mrs. Song smiled awkwardly, "I blame myself for not educating my daughter well, I am deeply ashamed."

"Aunt Song, hitting people at the slightest disagreement needs some reflection on your part." Qiao Rui didn’t hold back, retorting directly. "When kids grow up, if they happen to accidentally hit you back, it could lay you up for half a month. Luckily, Miss Song is kind and has a good temperament. If it were me, after getting hit, I would repay tenfold."

Mrs. Song’s face turned pale and then red from being blocked.

In fact, she was almost exploding with anger now.

As soon as she saw the pale and bloodless face of Song Muyu, still with a clear red handprint, she was furious.

Such a lovely girl, tormented by Song Xun, by the Song Family, into this state.

Muyu’s obsessive love turned into heartbreak, which was her own moth-to-flame consequence.

But she had already paid a huge price for it.

Mrs. Song still schemed for her future, but Qiao Rui could not swallow this anger.

Especially after Muyu had already rejected Mrs. Song, for Mrs. Song to still arrange so forcefully, Qiao Rui was impressed.

Does she not understand what refusal means?

Evidently dismantling the Song Family was correct, but more force needed to be applied.

Mrs. Song, sensing the hostility from Qiao Rui, felt puzzled, yet couldn’t say much in front of Pei Liyan.

So she had no choice but to look at Pei Liyan.

At this moment, Pei Liyan also looked at her, saying, "Auntie, Miss Song does have the right to question me about this matter, since it originated from me, and she was inadvertently hurt by my subordinate, understandably resulting in ill feelings. Even under these circumstances, she hasn’t extorted us, which is commendable."

Mrs. Song smiled awkwardly. "Mr. Pei, you are too kind."

Qiao Rui didn’t bother with Mrs. Song, not even wanting to look at her.

She had just tried very hard to restrain herself from tossing Mrs. Song down the stairs.

If she mentioned the marriage alliance again, she’d throw her out for sure.

Qiao Rui walked to the edge of the sofa, glanced at Song Muyu, saying, "Miss Song, injured and recovering, you should be lying down. Standing is tiring."

Song Muyu looked up at her, filled with guilt and embarrassment.

Qiao Rui gave her a comforting glance. "Come on, I’ll help you rest. No one else cares for your health as much as you should."

These words were naturally meant for Mrs. Song to hear.

Mrs. Song felt quite embarrassed by this.

Pei Liyan spoke to Mrs. Song, "Auntie, the Song Family is going through a tumultuous time now. It seems you haven’t rested the whole night, why not go back and get some rest? Someone will take care of things here."

Mrs. Song nodded. "Indeed, the Song Family is facing difficulties now, as Mr. Pei knows. Thank you for your care of our Song Xun; please continue to guide him not to take extreme actions."

"Brother Song won’t." Pei Liyan said, "He has always known what he is doing; auntie doesn’t need to worry too much."

"Yes, indeed." Mrs. Song grinned. "I am indeed a bit anxious. When faced with trouble, the inclination is to unite the family, channel all efforts in one direction to solve the problem."

"Auntie, a marriage alliance may not be a solution to difficulties." Pei Liyan smiled lightly.

Mrs. Song was taken aback, looking at Pei Liyan in confusion.

He smiled again, unobtrusively glancing at Qiao Rui, and said, "This might actually be what brings crisis to the Song Family."
