From afar, she could see the lights in the small studio.

The car stopped by the side of the road and Sang Qianqian quickly got out. Just as she was about to push open the glass door, she was slightly taken aback.

In the studio, Ruan Xiaoshuang and Song Yu were sitting and standing respectively. Beside Song Yu was a middle-aged man who looked rather down and out.

The man’s hair seemed to have not been trimmed for a long time, like a mess of grass. His gray coat also seemed to have not been washed for a long time, with many dark stains on it.

At this moment, he was talking, and his voice could be heard clearly through the half-closed glass door.

“You’re getting married, so you have to meet the elders. Even if the elders of the Ruan family are gone, you still have relatives, right? You can bring Ah Yu to meet them, right?”

He said this to Ruan Xiaoshuang, who was sitting by the window with her eyes lowered. “You and Ah Yu will be husband and wife from now on. You’re going to be a family. Now that you’re going to the Xie family to see your sister, you should bring Ah Yu along. Otherwise, it’ll be inappropriate…”

Ruan Xiaoshuang didn’t speak, but Song Yu couldn’t take it anymore. “Can you stop talking! Why are you telling Shuangshuang what to do? Why must she bring me along?”

The middle-aged man was Song Yu’s father, Song Guanhua.

Hearing this, he turned around and glared at Song Yu. “What do you know? Dad is doing this for your own good! It’s been so many years since you graduated, and you’re still staying in a shabby studio that can’t make ends meet. The Ruan family has declined, but they still have their connections and resources from the past. If the Xie family is willing to take in Xiaoshuang’s sister, then they must have a special relationship with the Ruan family.”

He said righteously, “Xie Shi’an is the head of the Xie family. This time, you’re going with Xiaoshuang to meet him. If he’s willing to take care of you, just a little sand leaking from the gaps of his fingers is enough for you and her to live a life without worry!

“I don’t need anyone to take care of me!”

Seeing that Song Guanhua’s words were getting more and more outrageous, Song Yu was furious. “Please, don’t get involved in my business with Shuangshuang!”

“I’m your father. If I don’t care about you, who will?”

Song Guanhua looked down on his son. “You’re not even married yet. Why are you acting like you received an imperial edict? Are you really that obedient?”

He chuckled and looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang. “Of course, you must listen to what Xiaoshuang says and be nice to her. You need to take good care of her, right? Xiaoshuang’s eyes need surgery, which will cost a lot. You’re getting married tomorrow, and you need money to raise a child. Ah Yu, Dad isn’t trying to harm you…”

Song Yu subconsciously glanced at Ruan Xiaoshuang. She had her eyes lowered and didn’t say a word. He couldn’t tell her emotions.

However, Song Yu felt an inexplicable uneasiness.

At that moment, he was filled with regret. He shouldn’t have let his marriage get to his head and told Song Guanhua about this when he received the call.

He shouldn’t have agreed to his father’s request to come to the studio to see his future daughter-in-law, and he shouldn’t have told him Ruan Xiaoshuang’s true identity when he asked about her family!

Song Yu took a deep breath, “Shuangshuang and I don’t need to rely on anyone, and we can live a good life. Dad, I will say it again. You don’t have to worry about us. If you must be so stubborn, you don’t have to come to my studio anymore.”

With that, Song Yu grabbed a worn-out bag from the table and stuffed it into Song Guanhua’s arms before pushing him out.

“I came all the way here and you’re chasing me away? Is this how you treat your old man?”

Seeing that his son was being serious and was pushing him with all his might, Song Guanhua got angry. “Let me tell you, you’ll be at a disadvantage if you don’t listen to me. You’ll regret it sooner or later if you let go of such a good opportunity!”

Song Yu’s face was tense and he did not say a word. He pushed Song Guanhua to the door and suddenly saw Sang Qianqian standing outside. He was stunned as a look of panic flashed across his eyes.

Sang Qianqian might be more influential to Ruan Xiaoshuang than anyone else.

With just a few words, she could make Ruan Xiaoshuang change her mind and go to the hospital to get her eyes checked. She was even willing to go back to the past she had tried to avoid and see her friends and family.

If Sang Qianqian were to see her father in such an embarrassing state and object to Ruan Xiaoshuang marrying him, then the marriage would surely…

Song Yu’s mind was instantly filled with many thoughts. For a moment, he was in a mess, and he didn’t know what to say.

However, Song guanhua’s eyes lit up when he saw Sang Qianqian. He looked around and saw an expensive luxury car on the side of the road. He immediately smiled. “You are Xiaoshuang’s friend, right? Are you here to take her to meet the Xie family? How should I address you?”

“My surname is Sang.” Sang Qianqian smiled faintly.

“That’s great. I was just saying that Xiaoshuang would need someone to accompany her because of her eyes. I can only be at ease if Ah Yu goes with her…”

Song Guanhua smiled in a flattering manner and pulled the dumbfounded Song Yu closer. “Son, say hello to Miss Sang!”

The pull jolted Song Yu out of his trance. He quickly stepped to the side and said, “Miss Sang, Xiaoshuang is waiting for you inside.”

Then, he dragged Song Guanhua out of the room.

In the room, Ruan Xiaoshuang had already heard their conversation and stood up.

She couldn’t see Sang Qianqian, but her lips curved into a warm smile. “Qianqian.”

It was as if nothing had happened.

Sang Qianqian’s feelings were a little complicated, but she could only pretend that she didn’t know anything. She held onto her arm and said gently, “Let’s go,”

Ruan Xiaoshuang had said before that she was only going to sec Xie Shi’an and her sister, Xiaodie. If she wanted to bring Song Yu along, she would have agreed just now.

If she didn’t want to, it would be inappropriate for Sang Qianqian to say anything more.

Outside, Song Yu had already pushed Song Guanhua into a taxi.

When he turned around and saw Sang Qianqian helping Ruan Xiaoshuang out, Song Yu wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he only said in a low voice, “Shuangshuang, I’ll be waiting for you in the studio. If you don’t come back, I… I’ll keep waiting.”

“Ah Yu, what are you talking about?” Ruan Xiaoshuang’s tone was gentle. “We’re going to have our wedding soon, so how could I not come back?”

“Yes, yes, we’re about to get married…”

Song Yu was overjoyed. Since Ruan Xiaoshuang could say that, it meant that she didn’t regret the marriage because of his father.

“Then I’ll be leaving with Qianqian.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang said softly, “I will come back early.”

Song Yu nodded his head repeatedly, his expression completely different from when he was sending his father off.

Sang Qianqian sighed silently. The last few times they met, she had only paid attention to Song Yu and had never asked about his family. With his father’s personality, he would probably cause Ruan Xiaoshuang trouble in the future.

However, Ruan Xiaoshuang seemed to be determined with this marriage.

After some thought, she took out an invitation from his bag and handed it to Song Yu, “The painting I bought from you before was chosen by a very famous master painter and entered this art exhibition. He’s quite interested in your paintings and has sent you an invitation. He’ll be at the art exhibition at 10 am tomorrow. If you have time, you can go to the art exhibition and meet this

master..”
