Song Shaojie was speechless and could only plead.
"Yang Min, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I will definitely find out the reason behind this, find the evidence, and give Xiao Lan justice!"
"That's not enough!"
"And also, I will not marry Xiao Yiqing. I will definitely find a way to annul the engagement. Shi Zhan has also promised me that he will help me find a way."
After hearing this, Yang Min felt it was about right, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
"Song Shaojie, that's more like it. You have no idea how heartbroken Xiao Lan was when she saw me. Right now, she's sleeping in my RV!"
Song Shaojie finally breathed a sigh of relief and was immediately put at ease.
"I still have things to do here. I'll come find you guys when I'm done. I'll bring you some good food. Also, don't tell Xiaolan I'm coming over yet!"
"Okay, don't worry!"
After hanging up the phone, Song Shaojie's fatigue wasn't as severe as before. Now that he felt better, he actually felt much more energetic.
As soon as Xiao Yiqing entered, she searched everywhere for Song Shaojie, asking several people, but no one had seen him.
She walked to the back of the venue and found Song Shaojie sitting there, and her face instantly lit up with a smile.
She wore gold high heels and a black fitted dress, which made her appear even taller. Her fair skin shimmered silver under the lights, and her indescribable alluring beauty made many men in the room take a second look.
Xiao Yiqing quietly walked to his side and gently patted his shoulder.
Song Shaojie looked up, saw it was her, and a flash of disgust crossed his eyes, which quickly turned into calm.
What are you doing here?
He said it calmly, without much emotion.
Xiao Yiqing smiled slightly, sat down in the chair next to him, and said:
"Yes, this is Wei Ziyao's engagement banquet. If you can come, then of course I can come too. What do you think I'm here for?"
Song Shaojie did not answer and continued to look down at his phone.
Xiao Yiqing didn't care. She looked at Song Shaojie's profile and a strange emotion welled up in her heart.
She knew about Song Shaojie's relationship with Liu Xiaolan, that he had just returned from Haishi yesterday, and that he now suspected her of causing Liu Xiaolan's mother's death.
However, she was not worried, because she knew that her engagement with Song Shaojie would not be so easily dissolved.
However, she felt that there was something between her and Song Shaojie, preventing her from getting close to him completely, and even making her feel increasingly distant.
"Shaojie, we..."
Xiao Yiqing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to express her thoughts.
"Can we have a proper talk?"
Song Shaojie looked up at her, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"What do you want to talk about?" he asked.
Xiao Yiqing took a deep breath and said,
“Our marriage, and... your feelings for Xiaolan.”
Song Shaojie was silent for a moment, then said,
"Xiao Yiqing, I know you care a lot about this engagement, but we're not right for each other. I've told you that before, and I hope you can understand."
Xiao Yiqing felt a pang of disappointment upon hearing this. She knew Song Shaojie was telling the truth, but his words still filled her with inexplicable anger.
If Liu Xiaolan hadn't appeared, he might not be like this!
"Song Shaojie, I know you care about Liu Xiaolan, but don't forget, you and I are engaged. If you want to break off the engagement, I will absolutely not allow it, unless I die!"
Xiao Yiqing's face was extremely cold. Then he stood up and prepared to leave.
As Song Shaojie watched her retreating figure, an unprecedented surge of anger welled up within him.
He lowered his head again, continuing to stare at his phone. He knew he had to resolve these matters quickly to give everyone an explanation.
Seeing Xiao Yiqing's unpleasant expression, Wei Ziyao went over, took her hand, and asked with concern,
"Yiqing, what's wrong with you? You look terrible."
Xiao Yiqing sneered.
"It's all because of Song Shaojie. I just saw him, and he was so cold to me."
Wei Ziyao, of course, knew what was going on, and, not wanting to miss out on stirring things up, wanted to add fuel to the fire for Xiao Yiqing. So, she said with a sarcastic tone,
"Yiqing, you have no idea how pathetic Song Shaojie was yesterday?"
Upon hearing that the news concerned Song Shaojie, Xiao Yiqing involuntarily moved closer to Wei Ziyao.
"What's wrong? What...did he do yesterday?"
"He... stopped me downstairs at the girls' dormitory yesterday, insisting that I go to Liu Xiaolan's room to see if she was there. I could tell he was almost frantic because of Liu Xiaolan's disappearance. I knew that Liu Xiaolan had been arrested by you, so I pretended to help him out."
Xiao Yiqing's expression grew increasingly grim.
"You mean, Liu Xiaolan has disappeared?"
Wei Ziyao was stunned for a moment. From Xiao Yiqing's eyes, she could tell that Liu Xiaolan's disappearance did not seem to be her doing!
"Is it none of your business?"
"Of course it has nothing to do with me. If Liu Xiaolan had really disappeared, Song Shaojie wouldn't be so calm. I think she must have been found!"
Xiao Yiqing immediately let go of Wei Ziyao's arm and, in a secluded spot, made a phone call to her subordinate.
"Where is Liu Xiaolan, whom you are monitoring, right now?"
"Miss Hui, we are currently in the theater of Tiandi Culture Company!"
Xiao Yiqing pondered for a moment and instantly understood that Liu Xiaolan was with Yang Min, who was Wu Youyou's friend and also Liu Xiaolan's friend.
snort!
"Find an opportunity and seize her silently! Be quick!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Xiao Yiqing turned around and saw Song Shaojie still sitting in the same seat, a sinister look on his face.
Song Shaojie, let's wait and see. If you lose the woman you love, will you still be with me?
Almost all the important figures at this engagement party were present.
However, Wei Dingtian and the old man of the Shi family did indeed have terribly gloomy expressions.
Grandpa Shi called Shi Zhan several times, but no one answered. Finally, he sent him a threatening text message.
Shi Zhan then replied to Old Master Shi's message:
Don't wait for me, I can't attend this engagement party!
Grandpa Shi was so angry he almost fainted, but luckily Shi Yuan took good care of him, which prevented him from collapsing.
"That unfilial son! He actually ran away from the wedding! Now there are so many guests here, and the groom is nowhere to be found. What are we going to do?!"
Wei Dingtian's face was also gloomy, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with the Shi family. Old Master Shi saw this and also felt that he was losing face.
At this moment, Shi Yuan volunteered.
“Grandpa, my brother is not here now, but this engagement banquet must go on, otherwise, both our families will lose face. There is only one way to make amends.”
Grandpa Shi and Wei Dingtian both looked at him curiously and asked,
"What method?"
