Chapter 424: Chapter 425: Hijacking

The call was from Miao Xuanxuan. As soon as Song Xiaodong picked up, Miao Xuanxuan said, "Hey, brother-in-law, have you finished your business? We’re waiting for you to come eat."

Song Xiaodong said, "Alright, I’m on my way. You guys go ahead and order. By the time the dishes are served, I should be almost there."

Miao Xuanxuan said, "That’s more like it. If you don’t come back, wait and see how my sister will deal with you."

After hanging up, Feng Kexin said with a smile, "Was it Shen Yue who was rushing you?"

"No, it was my girlfriend," Song Xiaodong replied casually.

"Eh? Isn’t Shen Yue your girlfriend?" Feng Kexin asked curiously.

"Her... no, well, her father and I have some connections, and her parents want to set us up, but I already have a girlfriend now, so naturally, I can’t be with her. I just consider her as my sister, and she is clear about that."

"But I feel like Shen Yue still wants you to be her boyfriend. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given you the ’cover’ to shoot. She’s known to be conservative at school. Making such a bold move is not something she’d do lightly."

Song Xiaodong laughed, "Your observation skills are strong; nothing gets past you. But still, I can’t be with her. Anyway, let’s not talk about this today. If I’m late, I’m going to be in trouble."

"I really want to see what my sister-in-law is like. You should bring me to meet her sometime."

"Maybe in a while," Song Xiaodong waved his hand and left Feng Kexin’s house.

Feng Kexin sat on the sofa, hugging a pillow, and didn’t move for a long time, but her face was wearing a sweet smile, not just sweet, but also very radiant.

When Song Xiaodong arrived at the restaurant, Song Xiaoru and the others had just started eating. Song Xiaodong sat down next to Miao Xuanxuan, who immediately tilted her head and sized him up, saying, "Tell me, did you go on a date with some girl?"

"What date? I had some legitimate business," Song Xiaodong picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Really? Hey, what’s with the hair on your clothes?" Miao Xuanxuan picked a long strand of hair from Song Xiaodong’s clothes and said, "My sister and I both have curly hair, so this definitely isn’t ours. Sister Xiaoru and Yingying had straight hair today, but this hair is a bit wavy, probably from a girl with a ponytail. So, whose is it?"

Song Xiaodong widened his eyes and looked at Miao Xuanxuan, "Are you a detective by any chance?"

"Don’t change the subject, just confess, who have you been messing around with?" Miao Xuanxuan’s tone was ferocious, and she was grinding Song Xiaodong’s foot with her own.

Bearing the pain, Song Xiaodong said, "I did meet a girl, but it was for legitimate business, and as for what sort, you guys shouldn’t ask because I won’t tell."

Miao Xuanxuan exclaimed dramatically, "Ah, what kind of attitude is that?"

Miao Qingqing, however, was smiling and said, "Xuanxuan, stop making a fuss. In this world, besides men, there are women, and we shouldn’t suspect him of having something with another woman just because he has a woman’s hair on him."

Xiao Yingying immediately praised, "Qingqing is truly generous. Although you need to keep an eye on men, you can’t be too controlling. With your approach, I whole-heartedly agree. A man as outstanding as Brother Dongzi is bound to attract countless women. Driving them away would be hard, but the main thing is to keep Brother Dongzi’s heart with us, right, Sister Qingqing?"

Miao Qingqing’s mouth twitched slightly, "Right, you’re correct."

Miao Xuanxuan muttered discontentedly, "Hey, I’m on your side, big sis, yet here you are teaming up with Yingying."

Miao Qingqing smiled and said, "This is the most basic trust, after all. If Dongzi doesn’t say anything, he must have his reasons."

Miao Xuanxuan pouted and said, "Alright then, I’ll be the bad guy."

Song Xiaodong had been watching everyone speak without interrupting, a gentle smile always on her face. If life could always go on like this, wouldn’t that be wonderful? She truly feared the day this atmosphere would disappear.

However, during the meal, Miao Xuanxuan’s hand kept sneakily pinching Song Xiaodong. He knew that something unclear was going on between Song Xiaodong and Li Sijie, so he was somewhat worried about what Song Xiaodong was getting up to outside.

After the meal, a few of them went for a walk on the streets until Xiao Qingyuan actually phoned to pick up Xiao Yingying.

Xiao Yingying was somewhat reluctant, but she couldn’t just disown her father. It had been quite some time since she had seen him, so she went with him.

"Phew, finally that annoying girl is gone," Miao Xuanxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Miao Qingqing also felt a sense of relief. She always felt unsure about how to deal with Xiao Yingying, the girl who clearly wanted to be a mistress, making her, his girlfriend, immensely frustrated.

Xiao Haiqing and Xiao Yingying arrived at a restaurant together. As they ate and talked, seeing his daughter now looking very healthy, Xiao Haiqing was in quite a good mood.

"By the way, where’s Brother Zhiming? I haven’t seen him in days," Xiao Yingying casually asked.

"He... I’ve driven him away," Xiao Haiqing’s face darkened.

"Why?" Xiao Yingying asked in surprise.

"Hmph, if it weren’t for the fact that he’s my older brother’s child, I wouldn’t have let him off this time. Do you know why our house caught fire? It was him who set it."

"Ah? Why would Brother Zhiming start a fire?"

"He saw that your illness could be cured, and that my wealth wouldn’t go to him, so he decided to kill you."

"Ah... how could it be like this? Even if I don’t die, and you give him the wealth, I wouldn’t have said anything. Brother Dongzi isn’t short of money, whether you give it to me or not doesn’t matter."

"But he doesn’t think so, alas, let’s not talk about him anymore. How are you and Dongzi getting along?"

Xiao Yingying immediately said proudly, "It’s going well, don’t worry, I’m sure I can be with Brother Dongzi."

"That’s good, I believe in my daughter’s charm."

After they finished eating, it had already grown dark. Leaving the restaurant, they got into a car driven by Chen Jun and headed to another residence of Xiao Haiqing’s, not in the city. The car soon reached a rural highway where there weren’t many vehicles.

Chen Jun drove steadily and not too fast, occasionally being overtaken by other cars. However, when a van overtook his car, it suddenly swerved and blocked Chen Jun’s way.

Chen Jun quickly hit the brakes, managing to avoid hitting the van, but then another van came from behind and directly rammed into his car’s rear.

"Not good!" Chen Jun cried out, quickly pulling out a dagger from his waist. At this moment, if he didn’t realize that the other party had targeted them intentionally, he would be a fool.
