Chapter 402: The Best Outcome

Faced with Xie Shi’an’s question, Song Yu broke out in a cold sweat.
This time, the evidence was conclusive. He had no room to quibble.
The guests discussed animatedly. At first, the crowd only emitted a buzzing sound, but it gradually grew louder.
A large portion of the guests today were from Beijing’s art circle.
This included the highly respected senior who had recommended Song Yu to participate in the art exhibition.
“To think that I thought you were a good seedling.”
The old senior stood up shakily, his hands trembling in anger. “You’re still so reckless even before the wedding. Song Yu, you’re really despicable! You’ve let me down!”
The old man flicked his sleeves and left, but the few words he said before he left were his last words.
Although cheating was a personal matter, as long as it wasn’t exposed to the public, nobody in the circle would really care.
However, Song Yu’s case was different. He had cheated before the wedding, and even the video of him cheating was released. His reputation had completely been burnt down to ashes.
To put it bluntly, his reputation and career were ruined. He wouldn’t be able to survive in the art circle in the future.
Everyone’s strange gazes were like sharp arrows that mercilessly pierced through him. When he thought of the situation he was about to face, he collapsed to the ground.
The man who was proud on stage before this was now like a pool of mud that couldn’t be supported by the wall, exhausted.
Xie Shi’an looked at Song Yu in disgust and turned to order the people around him, “Dismiss the guests and chase this person out of the venue”
This hall was the Xie family’s property, so the security guards inside naturally obeyed Xie Shi’an’s orders. Hearing this, two people immediately came forward and dragged Song Yu away like a dead dog.
The guests were organized and left in an orderly manner. The wedding venue, which was filled with guests and friends just a moment ago, instantly became empty and deserted.
This was truly an unexpected turn of events, but this result was the best outcome for this wedding.
When Sang Qianqian rushed to the lounge, Xie Shi’an was outside the door, pacing back and forth anxiously.
When he saw Sang Qianqian, it was as if he had seen his savior. “Qianqian, you came just in time.”
He pulled Sang Qianqian aside and lowered his voice. “Sister Xiaoshuang doesn’t want to stay at my place, and she doesn’t want to return to the Ruan Family either. She said that she has already rented a house, but with her situation, how can 1 feel at ease with her living alone? Please persuade her.”
Inside the house, Ruan Xiaoshuang had already wiped off her makeup, removed her wedding dress, and changed into her daily clothes.
She held a glass of water and sat quietly. Her expression was still calm, but her slightly trembling fingers still revealed the fluctuations in her heart.
Even though she couldn’t see those videos, she had a rough idea of the situation from the old man’s accusations and the discussions between the guests.
Sang Qianqian looked at her worriedly.
If it weren’t for those two videos, Sang Qianqian wouldn’t have known that Song Yu was still fooling around with that woman even after returning.
Song Yu’s shamelessness and lack of bottom line were beyond imagination. Sang Qianqian was afraid that Ruan Xiaoshuang would not be able to take it.
“Sister Xiaoshuang.”
Sang Qianqian pondered for a moment and did not mention the wedding. “1 have good news to tell you. The hospital has found a pair of corneas that matches your eye condition. You can have the surgery soon.”
Actually, according to the procedure, she still had to wait for a month. Sang Qianqian originally planned to tell Ruan Xiaoshuang after everything was ready.
However, this was the only good news that could be used as a way to comfort the girl after the wedding was canceled.
Ruan Xiaoshuang looked up in surprise. “Really?”
“Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, you can ask Shuhui. She also knows about this situation.”
Sang Qianqian sat down next to her. “Speaking of Shuhui, you know that she’s living next door to me now, right? In the past, Hanyu lived in that small courtyard. She had been complaining that it was too lonely there. Sister Xiaoshuang, why don’t you move in there? You can keep her company.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang laughed. “Shi’an asked you to persuade me?”
“Not really. Even if he didn’t, I would still do this.”
Sang Qianqian said seriously, “Moreover, I already had this plan when I went to look for you last time.”
“I appreciate your kindness.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang shook her head and declined. “But 1 still want to live alone. I’ve found a house in advance and prepared everything 1 need.”
“So you’ve been planning to break off relations with Song Yu?”
Sang Qianqian couldn’t help but ask, “You know that I will definitely support you. Why did you hide this from me?”
She had been worried about Ruan Xiaoshuang for the past few days, afraid that she would suffer after marrying Song Yu.
“This is between Song Yu and me. I can’t always trouble you.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled. “Qianqian, look, didn’t 1 handle it well this time?”
Her face was beautiful and peaceful, and her voice was gentle. “Trust me. In the future, even if I’m alone, I can still handle it.”
At the end of the day, she had to be alone.
Many years ago, she had already understood that no one could accompany another forever.
Even if they were the true love of their lives, even if they were flesh and blood, they would still part ways.
The more they were separated by life and death, the deeper the pain.
This was also the reason why she didn’t want to spend too much time with her sister Xiaodie. She didn’t have the confidence that she could stay with her for too long.
Therefore, it was better for her to not pour too much emotion into her sister from the beginning.
This way, she wouldn’t be too sad if they parted ways one day.

“I disagree!”
Xie Shi’an came in holding Ruan Xiaodie’s hand and happened to hear Ruan Xiaoshuang’s last sentence. “Something so big had just happened. Moreover, Sister Xiaoshuang, you can’t see yet. You shouldn’t live alone.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled. “Shi’an, 1’11 be fine…”
“If something happens to you, how am I going to explain to Master Cheng?”
Xie Shi’an’s voice was unusually low. “Sister Xiaoshuang, the Ruan family only has you and Xiaodie now.”
Hearing the word “Master Cheng,” Ruan Xiaoshuang tightened her grip on the glass of water, her lips trembling slightly.
She wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn’t.
“Do you know how happy I was when 1 saw that you were still alive? You said that you wanted to stay with Song Yu, and I didn’t object. You said that you didn’t want to go back to the Ruan family or the Xie family, and I didn’t object because 1 knew that you didn’t want to think about those sad things.”
Xie Shi’an suppressed his emotions. “I will be nothing but happy if you could have a new and better life. However, the facts have proven that Song Yu is not a good person. Now that the wedding has been canceled, you still don’t want to go back.”
“Xiaodie’s memory is gradually recovering, and she’s talking about her brother and sister more and more frequently. Sister Xiaoshuang, even if you won’t consider my feelings, can you bear to leave Xiaodie behind?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes were slightly red. “Of course I can’t, but I…”
“You didn’t want to come back because you didn’t want Xiaodie to rely on you. You weren’t even planning on staying in Beijing for long, did you?”
Xie Shi’an couldn’t hold it in anymore.. “If it were before this, 1 could understand that you would want to live your life with Song Yu, but now? What reason would you have? Could it be that you’re planning to disappear under our noses again?”
