Was Song Jiaye here too? Could it be that Song Jiaye had asked Old Master Song to pick her up? But why didn't Song Jiaye say anything?
Old Master Song took the gorgeously dressed Li Xiyu and rushed to a star - rated hotel.
The car drove directly into the hotel's backyard.
In the backyard, there was a lawn on which cakes and fine wines were laid out. However, it didn't seem like a wedding but rather a celebration of something. A group of men in suits were toasting each other.
Through the window, Li Xiyu spotted Song Yi'an, who was chatting intently with someone, almost immediately.
Old Master Song hadn't lied to her. He was here.
The moment she saw Song Yi'an, Li Xiyu felt as if she'd taken a pill of assurance. All her doubts vanished instantly.
She knew that Song Yi'an wouldn't harm her. As long as he was here, there was nothing to be afraid of.
The car that suddenly appeared at the venue also caught everyone's attention. A group of people turned around. Someone with sharp eyes recognized the license plate and said, "This is Old Master Song's car."
This remark had quite an impact, and everyone gathered around.
First to get out of the car was the chief secretary from the front - passenger seat. He walked around to the door and opened it for Old Master Song.
Old Master Song got out of the car with the help of his walking stick. However, he didn't rush to greet everyone. Instead, he turned back, looked into the car, and reached out his hand to Li Xiyu inside.
Li Xiyu knew what to do. Back when she was the queen, the maidservant had helped her in the same way.
Of course, with Old Master Song's status, he was far from being comparable to the maidservant in the palace. Li Xiyu lifted her skirt, placed her hand in Old Master Song's, stepped out with one foot, and then appeared in front of everyone.
Both Song Yi'an and Song Yunsheng's eyes flashed with surprise.
It was the first time they'd seen Li Xiyu dressed in such a gorgeous Western - style dress.
Several of the elderly in the Song family stepped forward to pay their respects to Old Master Song.
"Old Master Song, you found Xiao An, but you didn't even tell us. You didn't come to the company meeting today. You've almost given us old fogeys a heart attack."
Old Master Song apologized with a smile and said, "It was Xiao An who didn't let me help. He said I'm at the age of retirement and should let the younger generation take a shot."
At this time, Song Yi'an also walked over - mainly because of Li Xiyu.
Old Master Song was introducing Li Xiyu to others.
"Let me introduce. This Miss Li is Xiao An's wife and my granddaughter - in - law."
Hearing this, Li Xiyu's mind went blank.
What was going on? What granddaughter - in - law? Who was Xiao An? She couldn't understand.
Looking at Song Yi'an who was walking over, Old Master Song greeted him with a smile. "Xiao An, today is your first day back. I've brought you a big gift. Do you like it?"
For Song Yi'an, Li Xiyu was indeed a big gift, the one he'd been longing for.
Of course, this was on the premise that they didn't keep secrets from each other.
Song Yi'an's look at Li Xiyu changed from shock to slight anger.
However, she seemed to have learned how to put on a good face. Even though her eyes were cold, she still had a proper smile on her face. She generously greeted the senior officials.
"Hello, uncles. It's my first time meeting you. Please take care of me in the future."
You know, these people in front of her were all high - level executives of the Song family, big shots that many people couldn't even meet. Moreover, this was a Song family gathering. Facing so many people, this girl could remain so calm, which showed that she was very skilled in dealing with people.
Song Yi'an's performance in the meeting room was already impressive enough. Now, with a well - behaved and proper wife, those who supported Old Master Song and Song Yi'an kept nodding in approval.
Naturally, it made Song Yunsheng and his supporters even more angry.
After chatting with everyone, Song Yi'an finally had a chance to pull Li Xiyu aside and asked, "What's going on?"
There was still a trademark smile on Li Xiyu's face, but her tone when talking to Song Yi'an was extremely cold.
"I should be the one asking you that."
"I can explain my things to you when we get back. How did you get here?"
"You shouldn't ask me this. You should ask Old Master Song. Oh no, to be exact, your grandfather, Song Yi'an."
Li Xiyu's tone clearly told Song Yi'an that she was angry.
But they were the focus of everyone at the moment. People came back and forth to greet them from time to time, and they both had to deal with them.
Li Xiyu felt that her face was about to freeze from smiling. It was even more tiring than the day of her coronation ceremony.
Just as she was thinking about the coronation ceremony, Song Yunsheng walked over with a glass of champagne.
"I didn't expect that we'd meet in this situation and with this kind of relationship."
His words seemed to be for Song Yi'an and also for Li Xiyu.
There was no sign of frustration on Song Yunsheng's face. He could even joke, "According to seniority, you should call me uncle now?"
Song Yunsheng was Old Master Song's adopted son, and Song Yi'an was Old Master Song's grandson.
The seniority was indeed right. But it was really disgusting.
Anyway, Li Xiyu would never change her way of addressing him.
Song Yunsheng pretended not to hear. He said to Li Xiyu, "You go to the lounge and take a rest first."
After Li Xiyu left, only he and Song Yi'an were left.
Song Yunsheng's expression immediately changed from the previous playful one to a cold one.
"The temptation of money is really great. The person who swore never to step into the Song family has now broken the rule."
His words were full of sarcasm.
Song Yi'an was not willing to show weakness either.
"I really didn't want to come back at first. But I thought that although I didn't want this meat bone, I couldn't let some stray dog from nowhere take advantage of it. Because a stray dog won't be grateful after eating it and may even bite back."
Song Yi'an was really ruthless when it came to insulting people. Song Yunsheng was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened.
"All of you in the Song family are ungrateful and heartless people."
"Since you look down on our Song family so much, you can change your name at any time. Anyway, you're not Grandpa's real son."
Song Yunsheng glared at him but finally didn't get angry.
In such a situation, he couldn't lose his temper.
Song Yi'an was also surprised at Song Yunsheng's ability to endure. He had deliberately provoked him, but this guy didn't take the bait.
He was really a tough opponent.
"Song Yi'an, don't eat too fast. Be careful of choking."
"I don't need your concern."
Song Yunsheng turned around angrily and left. Song Yi'an looked at his back, and his eyes gradually became sinister.
At this time, the secretary beside Old Master Song rushed over in a hurry and said, "Young Master, something's wrong. Miss Li is missing."
"Missing? What happened?"
