Chapter 621: Jiang Muye’s Mysterious Disappearance

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

Mi Lu returned to the dressing room.

She saw the bright, beautiful Leng Ruoli, forced down her own worry, and produced a smile. "There are so many people outside. Quite a few good friends came."

"Is that so? Then I'm afraid they won't be able to entertain them all. I'll go out too." Hearing that, Leng Ruoli instinctively moved to get up.

Mi Lu immediately stopped her. "Don't. It's noisy and chaotic outside. Besides, this is your engagement banquet. As one of the guests of honor, it wouldn't be proper for you to go out."

"It's not even a wedding yet. It's just a banquet to let everyone know we're getting married later. There's no need for so much etiquette. It's perfectly normal for me to go out and help." Leng Ruoli was puzzled and didn't quite understand what Mi Lu meant.

Hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Mi Lu felt really hard put. "Even so, you need to rest properly. Aren't you pregnant now? Pregnant women shouldn't overexert themselves. Just stay here and rest for a bit."

"Then I'll go take a quick look outside. If there's no problem, I'll come back in." Leng Ruoli was still worried that Jiang Muye would have a hard time handling the guests, and that he'd be rather busy and exhausted.

As Leng Ruoli lifted her dress and headed for the door, Mi Lu immediately stopped her.

"No, you can't go."

Mi Lu's behavior made Leng Ruoli's brow tighten.

She looked at Mi Lu in confusion. "Sister Mi Lu, what are you doing?"

Her suspicion rose at once. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Mi Lu's heart lurched.

She was entirely unprepared for Leng Ruoli to get suspicious. Now she could barely hold her ground.

"No, how can that be? I'm just worried about you. What would you like to drink? I'll go pour it for you." Mi Lu instantly forced a smile at Leng Ruoli.

Seeing Mi Lu's strange behavior, Leng Ruoli was deeply suspicious. "Sister Mi Lu, I think you're definitely hiding something from me. Did something happen on Muye's side?"

"No, I…" Mi Lu looked at Leng Ruoli in surprise as she walked right past her and pushed the door open.

While Mi Lu was trying to stop Leng Ruoli, Leng Ruoli had already decisively headed toward Kai and the other roommates.

When Leng Ruoli came storming over, Kai and the others were obviously flustered.

They had never imagined that what they'd tried so hard to conceal would still be exposed.

Leng Ruoli scanned the area and found not even a trace of Jiang Muye.

Her heart was uneasy. "Where's Muye? Why don't I see him?"

"He… he went to the bathroom!" Kai thought quickly.

Hearing Kai cover for him, Little White Dove and Old He nodded along. "That's right, that's right. He just went to the bathroom."

"Liar." Leng Ruoli stubbornly pursed her red lips, then looked at the somewhat tense Mi Lu. "Something must have happened to him."

Everything was too abnormal.

Leng Ruoli wasn't stupid. She could still detect something.

Seeing that the paper couldn't wrap the fire, Kai had no choice but to tell Leng Ruoli. "Muye got a phone call and left. It seemed like something urgent came up, but what exactly it was, we're not too clear on either."

"Yeah… but he said he'd rush back, so you have to have faith in him!" Little White Dove hurried to explain.

Old He nodded. "That's right. He will absolutely not run away from the wedding!"

Little White Dove immediately smacked Old He. "Hey, why bring that up of all things!"

Even Kai rolled his eyes.

Old He saying that only intensified Leng Ruoli's anxiety.

What if Leng Ruoli started overthinking things?

Leng Ruoli was somewhat taken aback.

What did Muye leave for at a time like this?

What happened?

Her hands and feet felt cold now, and hearing the others' words only made her heart heavier.

After sensing that Leng Ruoli wasn't in a good mood, Mi Lu immediately began comforting her. "Don't worry. With us here, Jiang Muye will definitely come back. Something must have come up that made him rush off in such a hurry."

"Of course I believe he wouldn't abandon me. What I'm worried about is him running into some kind of crisis." Leng Ruoli's eyes were full of worry. "What if he can't handle it? Why didn't he tell me!"

Mi Lu's heart ached for Leng Ruoli. "He probably has some difficulty he can't speak of. But don't worry, he'll definitely come back, otherwise I won't let him off!"

Leng Ruoli lowered her eyes and nodded.

Now she just prayed that Jiang Muye wouldn't run into too much trouble and would make it back to the engagement banquet smoothly.

By this time, Jiang Muye had already arrived at the hospital.

He asked the nurse at the Front Desk and immediately found out which ward Xiang Shan was staying in.

【Ding. Congratulations, Host, on a successful Check-in at the sick ward. You have obtained three hundred Grit Points.】

After pulling down the System panel's notification, Jiang Muye immediately saw Xiang Shan lying weakly in the hospital bed, hooked up to an IV.

Xiang Shan was clearly unconscious, and her color was poor.

Besides Xiang Shan, Father Leng and Ye Shuhua were also there.

Ye Shuhua was dressed brightly, with a gentle air. This wasn't Jiang Muye's first time seeing her, since Father Leng had mentioned her before.

So Jiang Muye wasn't particularly happy that his Father-in-Law hadn't gotten back together with Xiang Shan, but feelings were a matter of knowing one's own warmth and cold, and couldn't be forced.

"How is she?" Jiang Muye asked.

"She had her stomach pumped. She's fine. I heard she ate seafood yesterday, and toxins were detected, so she was sent to the hospital. After it happened, she called, and I was the one who brought her here." Father Leng, somewhat worn out, told Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye's brow furrowed slightly. He had never imagined something like this would happen right before the engagement.

It seemed Xiang Shan wasn't faking it. She had always been a straightforward person. If she didn't want to, she would have just said so. There was no need for self-abuse.

"The way things are now, the engagement banquet is starting soon. Qihua, I'll go to the engagement banquet in her place. For now, let her rest well. I've already found a Caregiver to look after her, so don't worry." Ye Shuhua soothed Father Leng's emotions.

Father Leng let out a long, deep sigh, clearly still concerned about Xiang Shan's condition.

But today really was the day he valued most, his daughter's engagement banquet.

Father Leng said to Ye Shuhua with some difficulty, "That's the only way."

He said to Jiang Muye, "Let's go. On such an important occasion, how can you not be there? What if she gets anxious waiting for you later?"

Jiang Muye said to Father Leng, "Father-in-Law, let me take another look at Mother-in-Law. I'll be right down."

He had the System, and could help Xiang Shan wake up.

But with Father Leng and Ye Shuhua present, there was no means for him to revive Xiang Shan.

"But…" Father Leng was still conflicted.

"It's fine. Just wait for me downstairs. I'll be right there. There's still time." There was a burning intensity in Jiang Muye's eyes.

Seeing how insistent Jiang Muye was, Father Leng didn't refuse. "Alright, I'll listen to you. Then hurry."

"Okay." Jiang Muye nodded and watched Father Leng and Ye Shuhua enter the elevator.

Then Jiang Muye quickly returned to the room, where he saw Xiang Shan at death's door.

Jiang Muye immediately entered the System page. "System, I want Xiang Shan to wake up safe and sound, and return to a normal state."
