After she was sent home, Song Yun went upstairs to change her clothes. She also packed up the things she bought today. When she turned around, she gave Mother Song a look. Mother and daughter were connected. The woman immediately guessed what her daughter was trying to say. She smiled and asked Xu Mu to stay for dinner, ignoring Su Yunxiu.

Su Yunxiu was completely sidelined. Looking at this scene, those who didn’t know better would think that Xu Mu was Song Yun’s boyfriend. At this moment, the scene was very similar to a daughter bringing her future son-in-law home to meet her parents. From the beginning to the end, no one noticed that Su Yunxiu’s expression seemed to be covered in a layer of ice. She took a deep breath and held back her anger.

She kept telling herself that the person in front of her was an elder and that she could not be angry casually, lest she was criticized for being disrespectful to an elder.

When Su Yunxiu saw that Xu Mu was still vacillating and even showing signs of agreement, she couldn’t wait any longer. She took a step forward and held Xu Mu’s hand. She put on an emotionless smile and said, “Let’s go back and eat. Don’t trouble Uncle and Auntie.”

Although this suggestion was not very polite, Su Yunxiu really did not like the Song family. Her warm smile was sincere.

Mother Song seemed to have just noticed her and said in surprise, “Ah! So Miss Su is also here. Look at my gaze. I didn’t notice you just now. Is there something you’re busy with? If not, it’s not too late to stay for a meal before leaving.”

“Our families are so close. In the past, Xiao Mu often came here to eat, treating it like his own home. Xiao Yun has been back in the country for so long and hasn’t had a good gathering. Miss Su, don’t tell me you don’t even agree to such a small matter?”

Mama Song and Mama Xu were best friends. It could be said that she liked Xu Mu since she had watched him grow up. She had always hoped that the two families could become in-laws. However, she did not expect Su Yunxiu to appear out of nowhere and kill her thoughts before she could articulate them.

Coincidentally, Song Yun had also come down from upstairs. She was in a hurry because she was afraid that her mother would not be able to keep Xu Mu. Seeing that they were still here, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief. She went forward and held Xu Mu’s other arm. She said affectionately, “Brother Xu Mu, stay for dinner. You can catch up with my father.”

Su Yunxiu looked at the pair of hands and felt that they were extremely intrusive.

Xu Mu nodded in agreement.

Su Yunxiu went forward and took Song Yun’s hand. “Miss Song, please respect yourself.”

She wasn’t stupid. If Song Yun was pure, Su Yunxiu wouldn’t be so serious.

At the same time, Song Yun looked innocent and aggrieved. “I’m sorry, we grew up together and are used to this. Xiuxiu, don’t mind me.”

Su Yunxiu sneered and the pressure on her body became even lower. She was inexplicably unhappy to the extreme.

First, he abandoned her to pick up Song Yun. Then, Song Yun kept provoking her on the way. Now, she was holding Xu Mu in front of her. Did he really think she was easy to bully?

“Since you’re afraid that I’ll mind, Miss Song, please position yourself properly. After all, things are different now.”

After holding it in along the way, she could no longer put up with Song Yun’s behavior.

Song Yun’s expression changed and she felt even more aggrieved. Just a few words made her eyes turn red. She didn’t expect Su Yunxiu to refute. She thought that Su Yunxiu was easy to bully since she was especially silent on the way here.

Mother Song was unhappy and couldn’t bear to see her daughter suffer. She quickly defended her. “Xiao Yun didn’t do it on purpose. In addition, they’ve been close since they were young. Miss Su, don’t be too calculative.”

Su Yunxiu was so angry that she laughed, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes. “Alright, then I hope that Miss Song will have a boyfriend in the future. You can be more magnanimous when he’s held by other girls and not be too calculative.”

She deliberately emphasized the last line. Xu Mu secretly pinched her hand, indicating for her to restrain herself. If she caused too much trouble and affected their relationship, it would also impact the family business. At that time, his parents would definitely not let him off.

“I won’t find anyone else. I only like…”

“Xiao Yun!”

Father Song interrupted her in time.

No matter what, Su Yunxiu was Xu Mu’s girlfriend now. If Song Yun confessed her feelings now, Xu Mu would be stuck in the middle and it would be bad if word got out.

Su Yunxiu raised her eyebrows. Even if Song Yun wasn’t interrupted, she knew what she wanted to say next. It was just a small matter, but because she was still around, Father Song stopped her.
