Ah Jie felt that at this moment, the young master looked just like a statue waiting for his wife to return.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man called again to urge Han Mingyi.

"Mingyi, you're not not coming, are you? If you stand me up, I don't know what I might do."

Han Mingyi was genuinely afraid that he would come out of the lounge to cause trouble for her, so she could only use sweet words to coax him.

"Don't rush me, I need to finish what I'm doing here before I can come find you."

"It'll be done soon, please wait for me a little longer."

The middle-aged man hung up the phone with some skepticism, but had no choice but to agree to wait a little longer.

Just then, Han Mingyi saw Jian Ruoxi leave the venue and walk towards the back, and she immediately felt that her opportunity had come.

She beckoned a waiter to come over and whispered a few words in his ear.

The waiter looked conflicted, considering the feasibility of what Han Mingyi had just mentioned.

"What are you afraid of? I'm just asking you to lead Miss Jian to the lounge to rest properly, not to do anything else."

"Even if something happens, I'll take the blame; it won't affect you."

To reassure the waiter, Han Mingyi reluctantly took out one of her rarely used cards, which still had a considerable amount of money on it.

"There's 50,000 here. Once you've successfully lured her in, I'll tell you the password."

The waiter could earn 50,000 yuan just for leading one person to the lounge, which was quite a temptation.

He couldn't earn that much in six months.

"Alright, as Miss Han says, you can wait here for my good news."

After leaving the venue, the waiter searched everywhere for Jian Ruoxi and finally found her in the back garden.

"You must be Miss Jian. Mr. Ran said he has something he wants to discuss with you, so he asked me to take you there."

Jian Ruoxi guessed that Ran Jie probably wanted to talk about the details of the jewelry agency, so she didn't think too much about it and followed the waiter.

Although the collaboration has not been long, Jian Ruoxi has already developed considerable trust in Ran Jie.

The further Jian Ruoxi went, the more she felt something was wrong.

"Didn't Ran Jie say he wanted to talk to me? Why don't we go to the venue first?" This isn't the direction to get back to the venue.

The waiter calmly explained, "Well, Mr. Ran is a little tired from his social engagements, so he'll relax in the back for a bit."

He often does this kind of banquet service work, so he knows a bit about the people who attend banquets.

Jian Ruoxi didn't detect any flaws in the waiter's words, because that was exactly what had happened in the venue just now.

For the sake of his job, Ran Jie does need to constantly cultivate good relationships with these industry leaders.

Moreover, when she came out, she noticed that Ran Jie looked tired, so she didn't think much of it.

The waiter led Jian Ruoxi to a room, the one Miss Han had just told him about.

"Miss Jian, Mr. Ran is inside."

Jian Ruoxi took a step forward and saw only a middle-aged man, but not Ran Jie. Just as she was about to turn around and ask the waiter, the door was locked.

Jian Ruoxi inside couldn't open the door no matter what she tried. "Open the door, open the door, you've brought me to the wrong place."

"Miss Jian, don't worry, it's definitely here. This is the room number that lady told me about."

The first name that popped into Jian Ruoxi's mind was Han Mingyi.

"It was her! She tried to lure me to the lounge when she splashed red wine on me."

She was so focused on guarding against Han Mingyi that she neglected to be wary of the others, which was quite careless.

The middle-aged man, who was lying in the bedroom waiting for Han Mingyi, heard the noise outside and thought it was his Han Mingyi, so he came out.

"You're not Mingyi, so what are you doing here?"

Jian Ruoxi found the man's voice somewhat familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

"The person you're waiting for is Han Mingyi, right? She's outside. She just asked me to come and see if you're still here."

"Since you're still waiting for her, then everything is fine. I'll call her over right now."

When the man uttered his second sentence, Jian Ruoxi had already guessed his identity.

It's obvious that he's the one who proposed to Han Mingyi in the last live stream.

As for why he was here, and why I happened to appear, it can only mean that it was all Han Mingyi's conspiracy.

She reacted as quickly as possible, hoping this middle-aged man would be easily fooled.

"Since Mingyi hasn't had time to come yet, why don't you keep me company for now?"

He had been waiting for Han Mingyi for so long, and his lust was burning fiercely. Just then, Jian Ruoxi appeared, dressed so beautifully. How could he possibly resist?

Jian Ruoxi was somewhat flustered. She answered the man's question with trembling hands while trying to pry open the door from the inside.

"Don't worry, I'll go find Han Mingyi to come and keep you company."

Although she knew Han Mingyi disliked her, she never expected that Han Mingyi would actually use such a vicious method to deal with her.

It took Han Mingyi a lot of effort to ruin her reputation.

She tried several times but couldn't open the door from the inside, guessing that the waiter might have done something outside.

The middle-aged man got closer and closer.

"Don't be afraid, I will treat you well. I have a lot of money. As long as you spend some time with me, I can get you an endorsement or a TV series filmed tomorrow."

"Now that we're closer, I realize you're even prettier than Mingyi."

Seeing the middle-aged man about to pounce, Jian Ruoxi immediately reached out and turned off the light, plunging the room into complete darkness.

Taking advantage of the moment when the man couldn't see her, Jian Ruoxi quickly escaped from that place and moved to another corner of the room.

The middle-aged man was a little annoyed that he hadn't caught Jian Ruoxi, but it was only for a moment. He soon discovered a new source of fun.

"You want to play around with me? No problem, I happen to enjoy this kind of excitement too." The middle-aged man began searching for Jian Ruoxi in the room.

At this moment, Jian Ruoxi was hiding in the corner next to the bedside table, not daring to breathe. The room was only so big, and she couldn't hide in one place forever. Sooner or later, she would still be caught by the middle-aged man.

Her gaze settled on the vase above the bedside table, and she silently made a decision in her heart.

At the venue, Lu Shen hadn't seen Jian Ruoxi for a long time and was getting a little annoyed.

So he asked Ah Jie, who was standing next to him, "How long has she been gone?"

Ah Jie glanced at his watch. "Young Master, the Young Madam left twenty minutes ago."

Lu Shen's face showed worry. The event was not over yet, and Ran Jie was still here. According to Ruoxi's personality, she would not disappear for so long.

"Take our people and search the entire venue. Remember, don't alert anyone else."
