Those people just thought it was a joke between a pair of sisters and didn't take it seriously. Instead, they said to Ruan Mengmeng, "Next time you book a wedding banquet, you must send an invitation to the uncles."
Ruan Mengmeng agreed generously: "Definitely."
When almost all the guests had arrived, Tao Hongmei asked the master of ceremonies to start preparing to host the engagement banquet.
Ye Ruohuan found that Xia Linan went to the bathroom and did not come back for a long time.
She was a little worried and wanted to take a look when the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.
A spotlight shone on the makeshift stage in the center, and a pair of lovers appeared on it, holding hands.
There was warm applause in the banquet hall.
"Today is the happy day of Mr. Chen Mo and Miss Ruan Tiantian's sweet engagement!" The emcee held the microphone and introduced the newlyweds on the stage in a loud and enthusiastic voice.
On the stage, Ruan Tiantian smiled sweetly. She looked in a certain direction with a hint of boasting in her eyes. There stood a woman, the person she wanted to surpass in her life.
However, at this moment, she is already a winner.
Ruan Mengmeng looked at the perfect match of newcomers on the stage and sneered.
Suddenly, a stranger came to her side. Ruan Mengmeng felt that it was a man.
Suddenly, Ruan Mengmeng felt a chill in her body and she frowned and looked around.
"Hey, don't be so nervous." Mu Heng smiled and looked at the woman whose body became stiff in the dim light.
Ruan Mengmeng listened to that familiar voice, and her body relaxed, but she still asked cautiously: "Am I familiar with you?"
Otherwise, why get so close?
Ruan Mengmeng could feel the breath coming out of Mu Heng's mouth as he spoke, spraying onto her ears bit by bit.
Mu Heng heard her sarcasm, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and glanced at the two people who were exchanging engagement rings on the stage, and said, "Your sister is showing off to you."
Ruan Mengmeng was not blind, so she could see it clearly. She rolled her eyes and asked, "So what?"
Yeah, so what?
Mu Heng seemed to see her rolling her eyes and chuckled, "Do you want to fight with her and marry someone more powerful than her?"
Ruan Mengmeng frowned and muttered, "Psycho!" She moved to the side, a little away from Mu Heng.
Ruan Mengmeng has never had the intention of fighting for things since she was a child. What is hers will eventually be hers, and what is not hers will not be kept even by force.
Mu Heng's suggestion was completely sudden and he didn't take it too seriously. A smile appeared on his lips and he became more and more interested in the woman next to him.
After Ye Ruohuan's eyes adjusted to the light, she groped her way towards the bathroom.
Suddenly, her palm touched a warm body. She pulled her hand back abruptly and apologized quickly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that."
"Where are you going?" A familiar low voice sounded above Ye Ruohuan's head.
Ye Ruohuan looked up in surprise and asked tentatively, "Fu Yijian?"
"Yeah." Fu Yijian held her shoulders with both hands to help her stand more steadily.
Originally, the two Fu brothers were accompanying Shu Manlan, but after the lights dimmed, Fu Yijian became worried, and when Shu Manlan's attention was on the stage, he quietly left.
Fu Yiming knew that Fu Yijian came to see Ye Ruohuan, so he followed her as if possessed by a ghost, just to see that woman.
But now he only saw Ye Ruhuan, but not the woman he wanted to see, and he couldn't help but frown.
After meeting Fu Yijian, Ye Ruohuan did not forget the business. She grabbed his hand and said anxiously, "Take me to find the bathroom. An An has been gone for a long time and hasn't come back. I'm a little worried about her."
Because of the commotion of the people around them, Ye Ruohuan couldn't help but raise the volume of her voice a little, wanting Fu Yijian to hear clearly.
However, before Fu Yijian could speak, the person next to him asked first: "What did you say?"
Ye Ruohuan was surprised when she heard the man's voice, and then she heard him continue to ask: "Who did you say is missing?"
There was a chill in his tone, which made Ye Ruohuan shrink. She had never seen Fu Yiming so cold before.
Fu Yijian supported her and shouted to the man beside him unhappily, "Brother."
Ye Ruohuan suppressed the doubts in her heart and said slowly: "An An said before that she wanted to go to the bathroom, but she never came back after she went..."
Before she finished her words, a gust of wind blew around her, and she seemed to see Fu Yiming quickly pass by the two of them and walk out.
"Why is he..." Ye Ruohuan couldn't help but murmur, wondering why Fu Yiming reacted so strongly.
Fu Yijian knew everything about his elder brother, but Ye Ruohuan was just confused and couldn't see clearly.
He lowered his head and whispered, "It's important to find someone."
Then, he embraced Ye Ruhuan and, with his excellent night vision, brought her to a brighter place outside.
At this time, after the two people on the stage exchanged rings, the audience burst into applause of blessings.
On the stage, Ruan Tiantian sweetly held Chen Mo's arm and looked at the people below with a smile.
She saw from the corner of her eye that Ruan Mengmeng had no reaction, and was even talking and laughing with the strange man next to her, as if she was mocking her for stealing Chen Mo. Ruan Mengmeng didn't care.
Suddenly, she gnashed her teeth in hatred, wishing she could tear Ruan Mengmeng's "hypocritical" face apart.
…
Fu Yiming walked to a quiet place outside and was about to call Wang Yihan to ask a question, but the other party called him as if he had telepathy.
After the call was connected, Wang Yihan anxiously reported everything: "Boss, it's bad. Half an hour ago, Li Baijun disappeared from our sight. In addition..."
Fu Yiming's face was tense, and he held the phone tightly. He heard Wang Yihan swallow nervously and said, "At the same time, Miss Xia is missing."
"try to find!"
Anger burst out from every pore of Fu Yiming's body, condensed into one word, then he hung up the phone and walked towards Fu Yijian and Ye Ruohuan behind him.
Ye Ruohuan looked at Fu Yiming, who was staring at her seriously like an emperor, and asked, "You said An An went to the bathroom just now?"
Ye Ruohuan was stunned for a moment, but she didn't dare to delay. She nodded immediately, pointed in a certain direction, and said, "That's over there. I saw her go in with my own eyes, but I never saw her come out again."
Fu Yiming glanced in the direction of Ye Ruohuan and immediately walked over. He remembered that Fu's bathrooms were all located in the corridor with only one exit.
If Xia Linan stayed in there for a long time, then...
Fu Yiming didn't dare to think any further. While dialing Xia Lin'an's cell phone, he quickened his pace, walked past the crowd, and quickly went towards the bathroom.
