Chapter 84 Push her into the deep pit!

He Jiaying also found the men in the hotel lobby acting suspiciously.

Yan Ruo now finally understood why they were supposed to start a business together, but in the end He Jiaying became the boss and He Hong could only be responsible for technology.

The eyesight and reaction speed are obviously different.

Before He Hong realized anything, He Jiaying grabbed his arm and held him tightly, while also keeping Yan Ru firmly behind her.

When He Jiaying suddenly approached him, He Hong's ears and neck turned red instantly.

"You...what's wrong with you? Why so sudden, with so many people watching?"

He Jiaying grabbed the man who was walking very fast and said, "Walk slower."

He Hong still had a puzzled look on his face, "Why?"

Yan Ruo, who had been hiding behind them, couldn't help but smile, not to mention the straightforward He Jiaying.

"Why don't you just change your name to something else from now on?"

He Hong, “…”

I really want to ask why you suddenly say this about him.

As they got closer and closer to the hotel entrance, Yan Ruo glanced around, her heart beating faster and faster, and her brain working non-stop.

Just thinking about how to avoid direct conflict.

Although Liu Changming brought people to block her, they would not dare to act recklessly in public with He Jiaying and He Hong, who were both young and strong, by her side.

The fear is that Liu Changming will wait until they leave the hotel before taking action.

Moreover, Yan Ruo also had some guesses about the identity of the person behind Liu Changming, and did not want He Hong and the others to offend that person without knowing anything.

But if she didn't go with He Hong and the others, she would be walking into the tiger's mouth.

Seeing that there was no better way, a familiar figure came towards this side from the front right.

It's like a pillow is given to you when you're sleepy, Yan Ruo quickly whispered to the two people in front of him.

"Squad leader, I saw someone I know. I'll go find her directly later. You guys go back first."

In this situation, why would he still want to reminisce with old acquaintances? How could this old classmate be so careless? He Hong expressed his deep confusion.

He tilted his head slightly and said, "Given the current situation, you should leave here with us first."

He Jiaying nodded in agreement, "It's not safe for you to be alone."

Feeling their concern, Yan Ruo felt warm in her heart, but she still hesitated.

"It's okay. I'm going to go find Miss Zhou. The Zhou family is hosting the banquet tonight, so they shouldn't ignore something like this."

Glancing at the eldest daughter of the Zhou family and the several men standing at the hotel entrance not far away, He Jiaying instantly understood Yan Ruo's concerns.

He grabbed He Hong who was about to say something and whispered instructions.

"Then we'll wait for you in the car outside. If you notice anything wrong, send us a message immediately. Be careful."

"rest assured."

After saying that, the two of them walked straight towards the hotel gate, and Yan Ruo, who had been following behind them, was inevitably exposed to other people.

Seeing her, Liu Changming immediately said something to the man next to him. After a while, several other people around also looked over here and slowly surrounded them.

Yan Ruo glanced at a few people but ignored them. Instead, she adjusted her expression and strode towards Zhou Qinglan.

"Miss Zhou, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

The banquet was coming to an end and most people had already left. Zhou Qinglan was about to go home.

However, Zhou Shiyang told her that a very important partner was coming and asked her to go downstairs to meet him.

I never expected Yan Ruo to rush out at this time.

"Miss Yan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Although the smile on her face remained, Yan Ruo could clearly sense that she was noticeably more distant this time than when they last met at the art exhibition.

Yan Ruo didn't know how to tell her that someone was targeting him, so he could only make up a story.

"Last time you mentioned the modeling thing, I went back and thought about it, and it seemed quite interesting. I happened to meet you today, so I wanted to ask you about it."

Zhou Qinglan is not in the mood to talk about this right now.

"We'll talk about this next time. I have something else to do right now."

As he spoke, he continued walking towards the hotel entrance. Yan Ruo lifted her foot and immediately followed.

She just observed quietly and saw her talking to Zhou Qinglan. The faces of the men who were about to surround her changed instantly and they stopped.

Now is the perfect time to follow Zhou Qinglan out of the hotel.

What she didn't expect was that Zhou Qinglan would be so perceptive. He glanced at the tall and strong men standing scattered near the gate, and instantly looked at Yan Ruo with a half-smile.

"Miss Yan, these people seem to be looking for you."

Yan Ruo's expression was calm, but there was confusion in his eyes, "How is that possible? I don't even know them."

Seeing that she didn't admit it, Zhou Qinglan didn't care.

Just when Yan Ruo thought she would agree to follow her out of the hotel, she spoke slowly and in a voice that everyone around could hear.

"Ms. Yan, I have other things to do right now, so it might not be convenient for you to follow me. And it seems like your friends can't wait any longer."

After saying this, he glanced around meaningfully.

Yan Ruo's eyes suddenly tightened and she suddenly looked up at Zhou Qinglan.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, but her face was cold, and a barely perceptible sneer flashed in her eyes.

She didn't expect that after following Xu Shaoyu in the business world for so many years, she would still make mistakes.

When the men heard Zhou Qinglan's words, their expressions relaxed instantly, and their eyes were fixed on Yan Ruo, as if they were ready to rush up and grab her at any time.

Yan Ruo showed a very faint smile on her face and took out the invitation from her handbag.

"Miss Zhou, don't you know why I came back to attend the Zhou family's banquet today?"

Looking at the invitation in her hand, Zhou Qinglan's eyes narrowed.

Normally, invitations to such business banquets should all be in the same style.

This banquet was originally held by Zhou Shiyang to introduce his precious daughter to everyone, and also to thank everyone for their support for Zhou Qinglan's personal painting exhibition.

In order to show the uniqueness of this banquet, Zhou Qinglan personally designed several invitations with different patterns.

To others, the difference seemed not much, but as the designer of the invitation, Zhou Qinglan could recognize it at a glance.

The one in Yan Ruo's hand is of the highest level.

"Is this invitation given to you by President Xu?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he denied this statement, "No! If someone takes this invitation to the banquet, I will definitely get the news."

She looked at Yan Ruo, and the smile on her face disappeared.

"As far as I know, Mr. Xu has returned to North City. Do you think you can ask me to help you just with an invitation?"

"Of course not." Yan Ruo lowered her eyes slightly and spoke in a calm voice.

"However, today's banquet is hosted by the Zhou family, and I am here at Mr. Xu's behest. If something happens to me here today, do you think the cooperation the Zhou family wants to discuss with the Xu Corporation will be successful?"

Zhou Qinglan looked worried, "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm telling the truth." Yan Ruo's voice was calm and powerful.

Logically speaking, Zhou Qinglan should not allow the guests attending the banquet to get into trouble on her home turf.

But Zhou Qinglan's behavior just now was tantamount to pushing her into a deep pit with his own hands.

Yan Ruo held the phone tightly, staring at Zhou Qinglan, ready to find Uncle Hat if anything went wrong.
