Chapter 620: Did Jiang Muye Run Away From the Wedding?
Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye
Boss Cutie
At the hotel entrance, Jiang Muye stood with a few of his brothers, greeting the guests.
The night before last, Jiang Muye had already come in person to confirm everything once. Even though he knew nothing could go wrong, he was still nervous.
"Even though Ruoli and I have been together for a while now, I'm really just too nervous," Jiang Muye said with an excited smile. "Right now I can't calm down at all. I'm especially excited."
Little White Dove, Old He, and Kai looked at how worked up he was and laughed at him.
"Show a little groom's dignity. Today you're the main character. Calm down, calm down."
"That's right, our dorm is about to rise! As the first of us to be married off… no, wait, to marry in, you've got to pull yourself together and stand tall!"
"Charge! You're the one of us who's about to become legal!"
Jiang Muye cheered himself on. "That's right! Today's the day my darling and I settle the big matter. I need to be calm. Normally I don't even get nervous signing contracts worth over a billion. Why am I so nervous now?"
He was already this nervous now. How was he going to make it to the wedding?
Many guests arrived, all envious of Jiang Muye for being able to marry such a beautiful bride.
After all, she wasn't just beautiful. Her background was incredibly powerful—she was the precious daughter of the Leng Group!
This marriage was definitely a joining of forces, unstoppable.
Jiang Muye welcomed everyone's blessings. His face was full of smiles, but he still hadn't seen Father Leng or Xiang Shan show up.
Strange. They should have appeared by now.
Could they be stuck in traffic on the way?
Just as Jiang Muye was feeling something was off, his phone rang.
"Muye!" A hurried voice sounded.
It was Father Leng's call!
"What's wrong, Father-in-Law?" Jiang Muye could tell something seemed off in Father-in-Law's tone.
Father Leng immediately said to Jiang Muye, "Xiang Shan probably can't make it to the engagement banquet."
Jiang Muye's face instantly went pale. "What?!"
How could she suddenly not be able to come? Had Xiang Shan suddenly changed her mind?
After all, Xiang Shan hadn't been too pleased about him and Leng Ruoli being together before. Her changing her mind now was very possible.
Just as Jiang Muye's mood sank, Father Leng said, "She's at the hospital right now. It seems like a very serious case of food poisoning. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm with her at First Hospital right now."
Food poisoning?
Why, of all times, did she have to get food poisoning now?
Jiang Muye's mind went completely blank.
Father Leng had already hung up.
It looked like Father-in-Law couldn't get away now either. With Xiang Shan at the hospital, it was even more impossible for her to come to the engagement banquet.
Right now Leng Ruoli was full of anticipation for her parents to attend. If neither of them showed up, Jiang Muye could completely imagine the look of disappointment on Leng Ruoli's face.
No. He couldn't let that happen.
Especially since Leng Ruoli was pregnant now. He should go along with her no matter what.
If this became a lifelong regret for her, what then?
Jiang Muye immediately said to Kai, "You guys hold down the fort. Help me entertain the guests. I'm heading out first."
After all, with the System, he could definitely be of help. He was going to bring Xiang Shan back.
Kai was very confused.
"Why are you leaving? You're the groom! Is it reasonable for you not to be here?"
Even Little White Dove nodded along. "The engagement banquet is about to start. If you leave now, what's going to happen to the engagement banquet? Muzi, you're not planning to run from the wedding, are you?"
After hearing Little White Dove's words, Old He and Kai looked at Jiang Muye nervously.
They said unhappily, "The Cold Campus Belle is so great. You absolutely have to be responsible for her. Don't you dare run off."
"That's right. If you run from the wedding and leave the Cold Campus Belle here all on her own, you're really not a man!"
Jiang Muye watched his roommates accuse him, not even a trace of anger in him. Instead, he began to explain, "Relax, I'm leaving right now because I have something important to do. I'll be back very soon. I can't even wait to marry Ruoli. How could I possibly run?"
Jiang Muye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His roommates' thought processes were really too wild.
Leng Ruoli was pregnant with his child. If he ran off and abandoned his wife, child, and elders, that would make him a real bastard.
After hearing Jiang Muye's words, the others felt reassured.
"Alright, go and come back quickly. We'll try to hold down the scene, but you have to come back."
"Leave this little task to us. Hurry back."
After hearing his roommates' words, Jiang Muye promised, "Yeah, I'll definitely be back. I'm heading out first."
Jiang Muye immediately started walking out.
There wasn't much time left for him now. He had to figure out a way to help Xiang Shan's condition improve, so that there was a chance of arranging for her to appear at the engagement banquet.
Otherwise, it would become a lifelong regret for Leng Ruoli.
At that moment, after Jiang Muye left, Mi Lu glanced at the Front Desk and discovered Jiang Muye wasn't there. She was shocked. "Where did Jiang Muye run off to?"
Old He, Little White Dove, and Kai trembled, clearly at a loss. "Uh, we're just helping him hold down the fort for a bit. He had something to do and left."
Mi Lu was shocked. "Where did he go? This is an engagement banquet. He didn't run from the wedding, did he?"
"It's not running from the wedding!" Kai immediately denied.
"If it's not running from the wedding, then where is he? He can't forget that today he's the groom! Is he not going to hold this engagement banquet?" Mi Lu was frantic.
What could possibly be more important than an engagement banquet?
If Leng Ruoli knew Jiang Muye had left right now, there was no telling how heartbroken she'd be.
When Mi Lu called Jiang Muye's phone, she found it was going unanswered.
"What the hell is he doing? Where is he!" Mi Lu pursed her lips, very unhappy. "Why isn't he picking up?"
"He'll be back anyway," Little White Dove said awkwardly.
Mi Lu was in a tough spot. "How am I supposed to explain this to Ruoli? She was already nervous. If she finds out Jiang Muye has left right now, she'll be so disappointed."
Mi Lu put her hands on her hips and looked down at the three of them. "What exactly did he go do? You're his good friends, you definitely know!"
The three of them were in a very tough spot. "We really don't know. We only know he got a phone call and suddenly had to leave. But Muzi is a man of his word. It's not possible for him to run from the wedding. Just give him some time."
"So please, don't tell Ruoli."
"That's right. What if Ruoli overthinks it?"
Mi Lu flipped her long hair, looking completely frustrated. She let out a long, deep sigh. "There's nothing I can do about it now. You've all begged me like this. Fine, I'll see if I can keep it hidden, but I can't guarantee she won't get suspicious."
"Good, good, good. Sister Mi Lu, you're the most authoritative. Please help us out." The three of them seemed to see hope.
Mi Lu felt like her responsibility was huge.
On one hand, she was very worried that something really had gone wrong on Jiang Muye's end. On the other hand, she also felt for Leng Ruoli.
The current situation was very tricky. She had absolutely no way of knowing what was going on with Jiang Muye, otherwise why would he leave now?
Whether he could come back and keep his promise was also an unknown.
