"Sister? You mean Mu Ru? No...Sister-in-Law?" Xi Muxue looked at Dongfang Yu in surprise. "I don't know. Has she not returned yet?"
"What do you mean you don't know?" Dongfang Jun said as he walked over towards them. He looked at Xi Muxue and said, "Mother Liu said that she left with you in your car. You're back and she hasn't returned. How can you not know?"
"I really don't know." Xi Muxue looked innocent. She spread her hands and explained, "It's true that we drove out together, but when we reached the city, she insisted on buying a gift for Mother Wang when we passed by the Commercial Street. As you know, it's not easy to park there. Furthermore, I had to go to the pastry shop to pick up a two-tiered birthday cake that Father had ordered for the two of us, so we parted ways."
"Then...she did not celebrate with you and the Xi family tonight?" Dongfang Yu asked. His face had darkened, and a bad feeling started to creep into his heart.
"No." Xi Muxue was already angry. She said, "Mu Ru...No...Sister-in-Law is really something. She said she was going to buy a gift for Mother Wang and that she would go back to our house by herself. I waited at the Xi family home with my parents until seven, but she never arrived. I called her, but I couldn't get through. I think her phone was turned off. I simply thought she rushed to get back here because of some unfinished business."
Xi Muxue paused as she looked at the two men in front of her. She asked, "Is she not back yet?"
"I wouldn't be asking you if she were already here," Dongfang Yu said as he glared at Xi Muxue and quickly walked towards his car. He asked, "Which commercial street did she get off at? Where is the exact location?"
"Oh, at the intersection of Southwest Road," Xi Muxue answered quickly. She added, "She opened the car door and got off while I was waiting for the red light."
"Got it," Dongfang Yu said as he got into the car. He quickly started the car and was about to leave.
"Ah Yu, it's so late. Where are you going?" Xi Muxue asked when she saw that Dongfang Yu was about to leave. She tried to run after him and unhappily shouted, "Ah Yu, we're still on our honeymoon. I have to go to school and you have to work even during our honeymoon, so you have to be careful of your image. If you don't care about the Xi family's reputation, the Dongfang family—"
Dongfang Yu could not help but shout, "What nonsense is this? I'm going to look for Mu Ru. She's still not back and it's already so late. I'm worried that something happened."
"What could have happened?" Xi Muxue mumbled as she stood outside. "She's already a grown-up. She's not a child..."
Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, Dongfang Yu's car had already sped off. He did not want to continue listening to Mu Xue.
Mu Xue was slightly stunned. She turned around and was about to speak to Dongfang Jun beside her when she realized that Dongfang Jun had already gotten into his own car.
She was indeed confused. Was Xi Muru, that ugly freak, so important to the Dongfang family that both Dongfang Yu and Dongfang Jun were rushing off to find her?
