Chapter 331: Chapter 331: No Small Matter

Song Muyu’s attitude towards Mrs. Song made Jiang Jinfeng and Qi Yun both pause and then feel delighted.

This should have happened long ago. If it had, maybe we wouldn’t have suffered so much.

Song Muyu put down the phone and looked at Jiang Jinfeng. "Was the pressure from Ruirui?"

Jiang Jinfeng was taken aback, playing dumb. "What pressure?"

Qi Yun also remained silent, her eyes looking elsewhere.

"You don’t have to hide it from me anymore," Song Muyu said. "I vaguely understand that no one else has that kind of influence."

"Muyu, Ruirui did it for your own good." Jiang Jinfeng had to speak up for Qiao Rui.

"I know." Song Muyu nodded. "Without her, I couldn’t have seen through all of this, and I might not have given up so quickly."

Seeing the truth through the fog, that’s what Ruirui meant, wanting her to see everything clearly and not to cling to that little warmth.

"Thinking like this, Ruirui probably won’t worry so much!" Jiang Jinfeng said. "Actually, she’s also worried that you’ll be angry with her after finding out."

Song Muyu shook her head. "How could I? She did it for my sake; I’m not someone who doesn’t know what’s good."

"But rest assured, Ruirui won’t go too far. She knows her limits, just giving the Song Family a lesson."

"I understand." Song Muyu understood Qiao Rui. "She’s been very thoughtful."

"You, don’t worry about it now. Go back and take care of your health first. Turn off your phone and don’t let anyone disturb you," Jiang Jinfeng advised.

"No need." Song Muyu shook her head. "If I’m afraid of disturbances, then I’m still the weak Song Muyu. Only by facing everything honestly, whether it’s gentle or stormy, can I truly be strong."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinfeng and Qi Yun were both momentarily stunned, then they smiled, very relieved.

After such a major setback, Song Muyu was able to pull herself together completely, like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.

The phone rang again from Mrs. Song.

Song Muyu didn’t pick it up.

This was the first time Song Muyu actively hung up on Mrs. Song.

Also the first time she refused to answer Mrs. Song’s call.

The phone rang three times and eventually stopped.

But soon, a WeChat voice message came.

It was from Mrs. Song.

Song Muyu didn’t open it, not because she didn’t dare to face it, but because she didn’t want to do it in front of Jiang Jinfeng and Qi Yun, at least leaving Mrs. Song some dignity.

Pei Liyan and Song Xun were still drinking tea together.

Pei Liyan said to Song Xun, "This time, Ms. Song’s injury is my fault; I’m directly responsible."

Song Xun was also momentarily stunned; he hadn’t mentioned the matter of Fang Mo being hit by him.

Now, with Pei Liyan bringing it up, Song Xun couldn’t avoid facing it.

"So I also accidentally hit Fang Mo, somewhat hard," Song Xun said, meeting Pei Liyan’s eyes. "I’m very sorry."

"The person who should apologize is me." Pei Liyan opened his mouth with understanding. "There’s no need for explanations between you and me." Song Xun looked at him. "I know Brother Pei must have a reason to find Qi Yun. This matter was an accident. Though I overdid it in hitting Fang Mo, it was indeed irrational."

"If it were me, I would have done the same."

"Actually, if Fang Mo hadn’t met Muyu, I might never have known that I had a child with her." Song Xun’s voice was particularly gentle and emotional when he mentioned the child, even somewhat melancholic.

Pei Liyan saw him like that and fell silent.

Song Xun’s eyes suddenly turned red, and he looked away towards the window, his body tense and faintly trembling.

Pei Liyan, unable to bear it, changed the subject. "Brother Song, there’s another matter."

Song Xun returned to his senses and looked at him again. "What is it?"

"I was in the hospital just now and misled Aunt, telling her that the targeting of the Song Family might be related to the Shen Family’s old rival, though I’m not sure if Aunt would think that way."

"She wouldn’t." Song Xun said. "You don’t know my mom; she would definitely believe that the Shen Family is unshakeable in Liancheng, and no one dares to challenge the Shen Family. To her, the Shen Family is perfect."

That’s why Mrs. Song wanted him to get engaged to Shen Shuyi.

Just as they were talking, Song Xun’s phone rang.

He glanced at it, and it was Gao Qi calling.

He answered it, "Gao Qi?"

"President, Ms. Muyu has been discharged and left Liancheng."

Song Xun was taken aback by how abruptly she left, but at the same time, he was relieved; it was good she left.

"Got it."

"President, there’s another matter. I just overheard the chairman saying that several projects from Madam’s family were cancelled this morning." Gao Qi said, "The chairman was on the phone with someone, but I didn’t hear it clearly, so I’m not sure."

Song Xun was stunned, "Then investigate it. I want accurate information."

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Song Xun informed Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan was slightly surprised; he hadn’t expected such quick action. Targeting the Song Family was meant to embarrass Mrs. Song.

Targeting her maternal family was undoubtedly striking at the root.

It’s likely that targeting Mrs. Song’s maternal family would be more intense, with more severe outcomes.

"Was it her?" Song Xun asked Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan shook his head, "Not sure."

"If you follow this lead up, you might find some clues."

"The companies she’s utilizing have various backgrounds," Pei Liyan said thoughtfully, "Investigating just one means only understanding one background."

"Indeed, quite influential."

"Let’s split up," Pei Liyan suggested. "You check the companies dealing with the Song Family, and I’ll investigate those dealing with your grandfather’s family."

"Alright."

After finalizing their plans, the two separated.

Pei Liyan returned to Ludao and arranged for further investigation.

Lu Heming and Fang Mo faced him, both with heads lowered.

It seemed like both had taken quite a blow this time.

Pei Liyan didn’t say a word to them, yet both hung their heads like roosters defeated in battle.

"President Pei." Lu Heming finally spoke after a moment of silence. "I want to visit Liu Garden again."

Having been outwitted by Qi Yun, he couldn’t swallow this bitterness.

Pei Liyan scoffed lightly. "Addicted, are we?"

Lu Heming pursed his lips and shook his head. "Just unwilling to accept it."

"Regarding Liu Garden, none of you should interfere anymore, nor should you investigate them," Pei Liyan instructed in a solemn tone.

"Why?" Lu Heming was a bit puzzled. "Are we just going to swallow this loss silently?"

"The outcome is settled; neither of you is a match for them." Pei Liyan said firmly, "Even I didn’t have the upper hand."

Fang Mo said, "President, actually, we also considered Miss Rui’s previous relationship with you, so we didn’t really go all out."

"Even clever tactics won’t work for you!" Pei Liyan coolly interrupted, bluntly discouraging Fang Mo.

Fang Mo instantly kept silent.

Indeed, clever tactics weren’t successful either.

Seeing the two remain silent, Pei Liyan gave orders seriously. "No one needs to secretly investigate Liu Garden; without my order, no one is allowed to act rashly!"

"Yes!"

Even though Fang Mo and Lu Heming didn’t understand what the president meant, they nodded in agreement.

"President Pei, is it only targeting Mr. Song’s grandfather’s family company?" Lu Heming brought up the question. "Are these companies related to those targeting the Song Family?"

Pei Liyan said, "Maybe."

"So it’s targeting Mrs. Song." Lu Heming said, "Mrs. Song, as a person, is outwardly gentle but actually criticized by many; everyone in Liancheng knows that Mrs. Song’s maternal family, the Liu Family, has always been very pragmatic."

Pei Liyan’s cold glance swept over, sending a chill down one’s spine.

Lu Heming realized he shouldn’t discuss such gossip.

He immediately fell silent.

The Song Family.

Mrs. Song was aggravated by Song Muyu and then received a call from her own family. "Siyun, several projects from our Liu Family were also intercepted."

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Song felt a panic. "Our Liu Family is also being targeted?"

"Yes."

"What about the Shen Family?" Mrs. Song asked.

"No."
