This night was far from peaceful for the Song family. They had anticipated gaining more attention through the banquet, only to be faced with such a scandal.
The disappearance of Meng Xia further infuriated Song Yi.
"What did you say? She's gone?" Song Yi tightly grasped Meng Yu's wrist, staring at her with a fierce gaze. He refused to believe that Meng Xia would run away, especially in A city, right under the eyes of the Song family. However, the people he had sent out hadn't found Meng Xia.
Meng Yu looked at him with a helpless expression, tears streaming down her face. "Xiaoxia was scared. Someone drugged her, and I had her blood checked. She was indeed drugged. She ran away to avoid implicating us."
Seeing Song Yi's expression soften, Meng Yu continued, "She knew that stirring up trouble with the Brown Group would surely involve the Song family. The Song family is her only support, and she ran away to take all the blame."
