Inside the banquet hall, the guests were toasting each other and chatting about the hot topics in Jiangcheng recently. Pei Chengyi was entertaining the guests alone and was too busy to handle it. He was just curious about where his parents and Lu Yunxi had gone when he saw a group of them, accompanied by Tang Jingyuan, walking in.
Everyone was surprised by Tang Jingyuan's appearance and wanted to go up to greet him, but they saw Tang Jingyuan's face was gloomy and he took the foot he had just taken. Their intuition told them that the atmosphere tonight was a little off, as if something had happened.
Pei Chengyi keenly sensed something was wrong, and after a few pleasantries with a smile, he followed Tang Jingyuan and said hello: "Uncle..."
Pei Wenbin winked at him, and he immediately understood. He asked someone to greet the guests, and several people hurried up to the second floor.
In the study, the dim light made the atmosphere even more depressing. Tang Jingyuan took a sip of tea before saying, "Actually, An Ning has been missing for several days and hasn't been found yet. Today, I received news that her position is at sea, and the possibility of her survival is very slim."
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was stunned.
Pei Wenbin was the first to react: "Why would she go to the sea when everything was fine? And how could she..."
Tang Jingyuan suppressed his grief and shook his head, his voice trembling uncontrollably. "I'm also very surprised. She's most afraid of water. Normally, she would refuse when I take her to the beach. Why would she go to the sea? My people haven't found out the specific reason yet. This happened so suddenly. We had originally planned to go to the play, but we didn't expect..."
After a long time, everyone gradually regained their voice. Shen Yizhi was also confused. She had originally just wanted to discredit her reputation. After all, Lu Yunxi told her that the previous incident with Shan Ying was all planned by Lu Anning, and Lu Yunxi's fake pregnancy was also related to Lu Anning. Gradually, she began to dislike Lu Anning.
I always feel that wherever she appears, nothing good will happen, as if she is a natural disaster.
But she never thought of Lu An Ning dying!
Chen Yizi glanced at Lu Yunxi subconsciously. Lu Yunxi also didn't react. When Chen Yizi pulled her, Lu Yunxi screamed in fright.
Shen Yizhi glared at her: "What are you doing?"
Lu Yunxi came back to her senses and was stared at by everyone. She was flustered and said, "No! I was just too shocked. My sister was fine, how could she..."
She pretended to cry, but her mind was wandering elsewhere.
Lu Anning actually died like this? Was he really not dreaming?
Now that she was dead, there was no one left to compete with her. No wonder she couldn't contact Ye Lingfei, and there was no news of Li Shun. Those two must have realized the situation was bad and had gone into hiding. Now that they were dead, there was no evidence, and she was completely relieved.
From now on, her life will definitely be smooth sailing.
"I don't believe a living person can just disappear like that. I will keep looking. I want to find her alive or dead. No matter where she is, I will find her."
Tang Jingyuan's eyes were firm, like a heartbroken husband who had suffered a great shock and could not accept his wife's death. Pei Wenbin didn't know what to say for a moment. When the show was over, everyone realized that Pei Chengyi was still standing there, unable to come back to his senses.
Lu Yunxi pulled him, and Pei Chengyi finally reacted. However, Tang Jingyuan's words were still echoing in his mind, Lu Anning, he actually died like this?
There must be something wrong here!
He subconsciously looked at Lu Yunxi. Could this matter be related to her?
Tang Jingyuan acted flawlessly. Pei Wenbin accompanied him all the way out, and even his tone became much gentler. Chen Yizi also followed to comfort him. Lu Yunxi was about to follow when she was pulled by Pei Chengyi and the two went into the next room.
Lu Yunxi was caught off guard and pressed against the wall by Pei Chengyi. She screamed in surprise and looked at him shyly: "Chengyi, there are so many guests downstairs. What are you doing? After the birthday party is over, we still have a whole night. Why are you in such a hurry?"
She smiled and reached out to hook Pei Chengyi's neck, but he dodged.
Pei Chengyi frowned and grabbed Lu Yunxi's wrist, asking sternly, "What happened to Lu Anning? She suddenly got into trouble. Are you behind this?"
Lu Yunxi was pinched by him and cried out: "Cheng Yi, you hurt me. Let go! You have no evidence, how can you suspect me? Even if I have a conflict with Lu An Ning, I won't kill her! How could I possibly have such a great ability!"
"Look into my eyes and tell me that Lu Anning's accident has nothing to do with you. Speak!"
"Why are you so fierce? You and her had no connection before, and you're suddenly so nervous. Could it be that you really like her?"
Pei Chengyi's eyes flashed: "Don't change the subject! I'm asking you now."
"It's not me! It's not me! If you don't believe me, just throw me into the sea." Lu Yunxi said, crying in grievance. Pei Chengyi's heart softened, and he let her go.
"You better not lie to me."
"You care about her so much, do you regret not getting engaged to her and choosing me instead? She's already dead, why do you still care about her so much? Cheng Yi, the person who loves you the most in this world is me, a living person, so please stop imagining things, okay? We are getting married, and soon, we will have a wedding that is unique to us two."
Lu Anning died a good thing! Now that she's dead, she finally doesn't have to share her wedding of the century with that bitch.
