Chapter 21: Is this industry also patriarchal?



Without noticing the strangeness on everyone's faces, the anxiety on Song Yongming and the other man's faces was almost visible in their eyes.

"Boss Jiang, we really want to apologize to Master Jiang in person. Can you let us meet Master Jiang?"

Jiang Yucheng opened his mouth, and it seemed like it took him a long while to come back to his senses. He was a little speechless.

"Xu Xu, she's not here."

Song Yongming and his wife seemed flustered when they heard this, and asked repeatedly, "Is the master not back yet? When will she come back? Maybe we should wait for her here?"

In the living room, all the Jiang family members showed a flash of embarrassment on their faces when they heard this.

No matter what they said, Guan Xuxu had moved away and would definitely not come back today.

Song Yongming and his wife were anxious, and when they saw that the Jiang family was silent, they became even more anxious.

"Boss Jiang!"

Just as Jiang Yucheng was about to speak, Jiang Huai stood up and said, "Xu Xu probably won't be back today. If Uncle Song and Aunt Song are worried, maybe I can contact Xu Xu for you first. If she's available, I can take you directly to see her."

"That's great." Song Yongming had no intention of being polite at this moment, "Thank you very much."

Jiang Huai nodded with a smile, then turned around to make a phone call and came back soon.

"Xu Xu said she already knows why you two are here. She is leaving for the Song family now. We can just meet and talk there."

Hearing that Guan Xuxu was willing to go directly to the Song family, Song Yongming and Mrs. Song were overjoyed. They didn't even bother to greet the Jiang family and said goodbye immediately.

Seeing this, Jiang Huai followed them out and said, "I'll take you two back."

Song Yongming understood very well that Jiang Huai was worried that his sister would suffer in the Song family. Yu Li's condition was critical at the moment, so he ignored it.

It was not until the car slipped into the night that the Jiang family members realized what was happening.

"The Song family is so anxious to find Xuxu, could it be that something happened to Miss Song?" The third aunt from the third room spoke uncertainly, with obvious worry in her tone.

Jiang Yucheng frowned, his face gloomy.

"Something must have happened."

Moreover, it was most likely what Xuxu had said.

The villa area where the Song family lived was not very close to Yinjiang No. 1. It took more than half an hour to drive back to the Song family villa.

When the three of them arrived, Guan Xuxu also arrived at the door.

When he saw the young girl dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, even though he had already learned from his wife the age of the Jiang family's newly found granddaughter, Song Yongming still felt a little uncertain about her overly young and well-behaved appearance.

On the contrary, Mrs. Song lost her previous politeness and distance, and her eyes were full of eagerness when she saw Guan Xuxu.

"Master Jiang, I was arbitrary in what happened today. Thank you for coming here."

Since Guan Xuxu came here, it means he wants to help solve the problem, and he has no intention of being polite at all.

"Go in first."

The Song couple immediately led Guan Xuxu inside without delay, and while walking in, they did not forget to explain today's situation.

"Xiao Li'er would go to the children's entertainment area in the community to walk and play every afternoon after taking a nap. The master clearly reminded her in the morning, but it was all my fault for not taking it seriously at the time. I still let Xiao Li'er go out in the afternoon. As a result, I don't know how Xiao Li'er disappeared in the middle of the way. I thought she was kidnapped at first..."

"But it only took about ten minutes for the security guard to find the person near the fountain. I thought it was just a false alarm, but not long after Xiao Li returned home, she suddenly fainted and could not be woken up no matter how hard we tried. The family doctor could not find any cause after checking..."

Mrs. Song paused here, her tone unable to conceal her anxiety and sadness, and then looked at Guan Xuxu, "Then the doctor had no choice but to send Xiao Li'er to the hospital for a more detailed examination. As a result, when she was holding her, she found something falling off her body."

It was also because of that thing that Mrs. Song found Guan Xuxu again.

That was the amulet that Guan Xuxu left behind when he left. Mrs. Song had originally wanted someone to throw it away, but she didn't expect that Xiao Li'er thought it was fun and secretly picked it up and hid it on her body.

The result was that the thing fell off her body. Mrs. Song and the servants didn't know what it was at first because it had turned into black ash. The strange thing was that although it had been burned into black ash, it still retained its original shape.

Later, the housekeeper noticed it and reminded her.

That seemed to be the amulet that Guan Xuxu left behind before he left.

Because Guan Xuxu's amulets are folded in a special way, it is not difficult to see.

Mrs. Song later had Xiao Li'er's body checked and found no signs of burns. The only thing was that the amulet, which was supposed to be made of yellow paper, had turned black and gray.

Mrs. Song is an educated person who believes in materialism. She never believes in ghosts or gods and has no idea about such things.

Old Mrs. Song had recently converted to Taoism and knew some things about it. She guessed that the yellow paper turned to ashes because it had blocked the evil spirit. But Xiao Li'er was still unconscious, which meant that the evil spirit was still there. So Old Mrs. Song said that they should ask a master for help.

It was only at this time that Mrs. Song thought of Guan Xuxu again. She was worried that Guan Xuxu would bear a grudge against her for being kicked out today and would not help her, so she went to her house to apologize.

For the safety of their daughter, the Song couple no longer care about their face.

Guan Xuxu could see that the Song family's concern for Song Yuli was genuine, and she spoke to comfort her, "Don't worry, I've said that Miss Song has a long-lasting fortune. Even if she suffers some losses now, her life will be safe."

While Guan Xuxu was talking, several people had already walked up to the room on the second floor of the villa.

When they opened the door, they saw a flame rushing straight towards their faces.
