With so many people in the hall, they naturally witnessed the interaction between the two of them. Everyone began to do some calculating in their minds.
The two of them looked so well - matched together. It was estimated that...
The position of Mrs. Lu would soon change hands!
——
"Lu Yan" pursed her lips. Looking down at her wet shirt and then at Jiang Qiwei bustling in front of her, she reached out her hand to stop her.
"Thank you. I can handle it myself."
"Lu Yan, let me accompany you back to the room to deal with it. We should also check if you've been scratched by the fragments. Tetanus is no small matter."
Jiang Qiwei's expression remained unchanged. She still looked worried, and the sincerity in her eyes was moving.
Looking at Jiang Qiwei in front of her, Ning Anmiao paused for a moment. She raised her eyes and scanned the hall, only to find that everyone's attention was focused here.
Their gazes were also quite thought - provoking.
"No need." She remembered what she had promised Lu Yan before, which was to keep a distance from Jiang Qiwei.
She summoned up her courage and gently pushed Jiang Qiwei away with her hand. "I can do it myself. Thank you, Miss Jiang."
The wet shirt clung to her body, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Watching the back of "Lu Yan" as she left, Jiang Qiwei's eyes were still filled with reluctance. Her gaze followed "Lu Yan" until she disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Lu Yan had really changed. Even when rejecting someone, she was so gentle that it made people reluctant to let go.
...
After such a commotion, she temporarily put aside the matter of finding Lu Yan. She casually told the servant to find a men's shirt for her and then went into a lounge to change.
This lounge wasn't very sound - proof. While she was changing, she heard someone talking next door.
"Miss Jiang, I'm so scared..."
The voice was weak, as if a maid was sobbing. "She's not just anyone. She's Mrs. Lu!"
"What are you being a coward for!" Soon, Jiang Qiwei's voice came through as well. Her voice was filled with strictness and scolding. "You've already done it. It's too late to regret now!"
Hearing Jiang Qiwei's completely different tone from usual, Ning Anmiao felt a bit curious. She approached the wall and pressed her ear against it.
The voices suddenly became clearer.
"Miss Jiang, today is Mrs. Lu's birthday banquet. When such a scandal breaks out in the Lu family, they will surely investigate it to the end!"
"Don't be afraid. When the medicine takes effect later, I'll take people to catch them in the act. After it's done, I'll be the new Mrs. Lu. Then, do you still need to be afraid of not having someone to protect you?"
Jiang Qiwei was extremely complacent, as if everything was already under her control.
No divorce?
When the Lu family members caught Ning Anmiao in bed with another man, let's see if she could still stubbornly say those four words, "No divorce"!
Hearing their conversation next door, Ning Anmiao's head buzzed. She was shocked on the spot and covered her mouth.
"Spiking the drink", "catching in the act", "scandal" ...
These words, combined with the missing "Ning Anmiao", all these clues undoubtedly pointed to one conclusion.
Ning Anmiao's pupils suddenly constricted. She quickly buttoned up the remaining buttons, then immediately rushed out of the room. Looking at the crowd in the hall outside, at the smiling faces of each person, her breathing became labored.
Where on earth was Lu Yan!
Her throat was dry. She wanted to mobilize everyone to look for "Ning Anmiao", but doing so would be exactly what Jiang Qiwei wanted, making the scandal public!
What should she do? What should she do now?
She closed her eyes, listening to the rapidly beating heart in her chest. She took several deep breaths to calm herself down in a short time.
Anyway, she had to find Lu Yan now!
Ning Anmiao calmed down and came up with a countermeasure.
Just now, Jiang Qiwei had said "when the medicine takes effect", which meant there was still some time left. Maybe no big mistake had been made yet.
What she could do now was to quickly find the possibly drugged "Ning Anmiao" and quickly leave the Lu mansion!
The hall was bustling. Everyone was chatting happily with their respective social circles. No one noticed anything strange about "Lu Yan".
On the surface, she remained calm, but in fact, she was silently checking every room in the Lu family villa, looking for traces of "Ning Anmiao".
However, things didn't go as she wished.
Every room she opened was either empty or filled with irrelevant people chatting.
Every time she opened a room, her heart sank a little more.
Lu Yan, where on earth are you!
Just thinking about what might happen, Ning Anmiao slowly tightened her fingers. She felt extremely regretful.
If she had been a bit tougher just now and hadn't separated from Lu Yan, Lu Yan wouldn't have been left alone and wouldn't have been taken away to be humiliated.
She didn't even need to think. Just from the plots in TV dramas, she could guess what means Jiang Qiwei had used!
Lu Yan was such a proud and cold person. If such a disgraceful thing really happened to her, how could she face the days to come?
In the future, what kind of identity would she use for herself?
She didn't dare to think about it.
As a high - ranking man, being defiled by another man would definitely be a shadow for her whole life!
If she thought about it any more, Ning Anmiao's legs would go weak.
Lu Yan, you must be okay!
...
Jiang Qiwei finally managed to calm the maid's emotions. The moment she came out of the room, she locked her eyes on "Lu Yan" in the crowd.
She not only noticed "Lu Yan", but also noticed that she was constantly shuttling between different rooms. On the surface, she looked calm and natural, but in fact, she was looking for something.
Obviously, she was looking for "Ning Anmiao".
She pursed her lips and thought the time was right.
Jiang Qiwei walked to the center of the crowd. She took a deep breath, hiding the calculation in her eyes. Her voice was filled with worry, and her tone rose a bit. "Has anyone seen Miaomiao? Miaomiao seems to be missing!"
"Miaomiao? I haven't seen her."
"It seems like I haven't seen her for a long time. Did she go to the restroom?"
"There's no one in the restroom. She really seems to be missing!"
"..."
The crowd's attention was obviously mobilized. Ning Anmiao stopped in her tracks. A chill slowly climbed from her back to her heart, making her shiver all over!
She still hadn't found "Ning Anmiao", but now everyone knew that "Ning Anmiao" was missing!
Just then, a loud noise suddenly came from the attic on the third floor of the villa!
Ning Anmiao was only stunned for a second. Her body reacted faster than her brain. She took a big step and rushed towards the third - floor direction!
Her intuition told her that Lu Yan must be inside!
Everyone stared at "Lu Yan"'s reaction in astonishment, looking puzzled. But out of curiosity, they also followed her up to the third floor.
On the contrary, Jiang Qiwei's eyes flashed with a different kind of light, as if she had already seen the satisfactory result waving to her.
What kind of goods? How dare she compete with me?
——
Ning Anmiao rushed forward at a rapid pace. The moment she reached the attic door, she didn't hesitate for a second and kicked the door with all her might. The man's strength was astonishing. With a loud "bang", the door was violently kicked open!
When she saw the scene in the room, her pupils suddenly constricted in shock. She gasped and couldn't believe what she saw!
