"Miss Jane, watch out!"
A waiter whose face was completely covered quickly helped Jian Ruoxi up and also kicked the chair in front of her away to prevent her from bumping into it.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
"Thank you, thank you!" Jian Ruoxi hurriedly protected her lower abdomen.
She was so worried about Xiao Jin's safety that she thought everything would be fine if she avoided the crowd, and she didn't even notice that there was something underneath.
"You, who are you?"
Is this person a servant of the Lu family?
She's lived here for a while now, so why does she have absolutely no recollection of this place?
Could it be that they sneaked in?
Jian Ruoxi's alarm bells rang loudly, fearing that the other party was sent by the Lu family's rival.
But then I remembered that he had just saved someone, so he didn't seem like a bad person.
"Ms. Jian, even if you're in a hurry, you must take care of your health."
"After all, you're not alone."
Li Tianlei's gaze slid down to Jian Ruoxi's lower abdomen, where the little figure must be Xiao Jin's unborn nephew.
He could almost imagine how happy Xiao Jin would be when the baby was born.
Before that, he also needed to protect Jian Ruoxi for Xiao Jin.
Jian Ruoxi suddenly looked up, and involuntarily took a step back.
Only a few close friends knew about her pregnancy; Luo Yu and his friends didn't even tell their own family.
How did this person know?
Sensing Jian Ruoxi's wariness, fearing she might call for help, Li Tianlei quickly explained to her in a low voice.
"Miss Jane, I am Stone."
Stone? He really came.
It turned out to be a man.
This was somewhat unexpected for her.
As soon as the name was mentioned, Jian Ruoxi immediately lowered her guard.
No one but Xiao Jin and Ali will know the name of the stone.
Moreover, it's clear that Xiao Jin trusts him quite a bit.
He even knew that she was pregnant.
"Miss Jian, where are you going in such a hurry?"
There seemed to be something wrong with the expression on her face.
Also, wasn't Xiao Jin with her the whole time?
Logically speaking, with the old lady and Li Anran at the banquet, Xiao Jin shouldn't feel comfortable leaving Jian Ruoxi alone for too long.
Jian Ruoxi gripped the arm of the person opposite her tightly, "Xiao Jin is gone."
"And Li Anran and Jian Mengyu aren't here either, I'm worried..."
Li Tianlei immediately realized what was happening, his brows furrowed, and without even having time to think, he made a move to go out and look for someone.
Jian Ruoxi followed.
"Miss Jian, you wait here, I'll go find it by myself."
"I will bring Xiao Jin back," he assured Jian Ruoxi.
Those two women together are definitely plotting something.
He figured they might be after someone, and that it was safer for Jian Ruoxi to stay here.
Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the baby in your belly.
After saying that, Li Tianlei left the hall without looking back.
Inside the lobby, guests chatted, creating a lively atmosphere.
Unable to find peace here, Jian Ruoxi turned around and went to the back garden for some fresh air.
But I still couldn't help but worry about Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin was probably just away doing business elsewhere.
Did Stone find her?
She had only walked a short distance when she heard what sounded like people talking not far ahead.
A soft female voice came from inside.
"Jian Mengyu, have you done everything I asked you to do?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Jian Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat.
This is Li Anran.
So, Li Anran is currently with Jian Ruoyu.
What are they going to do?
Could it be true, as the maid said, that they have some kind of conspiracy?
Jian Mengyu seemed a little scared, her voice trembling slightly.
"Miss Li, do we really have to do this? Lu Jin doesn't seem to have any direct conflict with us."
Xiao Jin?
They actually intended to target Xiao Jin.
Jian Ruoxi suppressed her anger and continued listening to their conversation.
"This is what you call no direct conflict yet?"
“From the moment I entered the Lu family, that girl gave me the cold shoulder and never said a kind word to me.”
"I've disliked her for a long time and wanted to teach her a lesson."
"Have you forgotten what happened at Jian Ruoxi's house last time? How she humiliated you."
As expected, Li Anran harbored resentment towards Xiao Jin because of these things.
Xiao Jin did those things before all to protect her.
“But she’s the eldest daughter of the Lu family. If we really go against her, and it gets found out later, we’ll be finished.” Jian Mengyu seemed a little hesitant.
It seemed as if they were still afraid of Lu Jin's identity.
Li Anran snorted coldly.
Why are you afraid of the Lu family?
"Have you forgotten that I am still the future young mistress of the Lu family?"
"As long as I'm here, this matter will absolutely not be traced back to us."
Her voice was like poison.
Jian Ruoxi's expression changed slightly.
I wanted to get closer and listen carefully to their instructions.
But then we couldn't hear anything at all.
Lian Ran and Jian Mengyu were still somewhat wary, and they deliberately lowered their voices when discussing the plan.
After exchanging a few words, the two cautiously looked around before turning and leaving.
Jian Ruoxi walked out from behind, her legs weak.
My body was trembling uncontrollably because of fear and worry.
"Damn it, what exactly are they planning to do to Xiao Jin?"
Where is Xiao Jin again?
