Upon hearing Jiang Wan Yu’s words, Yi Lingfeng replied with casual indifference, “It’s okay. I can handle this event on my own.”
After all, the Jiang family’s connections wouldn’t disappear just because Jiang Wan Yu didn’t attend tonight’s banquet.
“Well then, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. Dian Dian was quite scared tonight, and I need to comfort him and put him to bed,” said Jiang Wan Yu, pursing her lips.
“Sure, I won’t disturb you. Enjoy your time with Dian Dian,” Yi Lingfeng said while noticing Zhou Jiancheng was approaching him. So, He decided to end the call.
After hanging up, Jiang Wan Yu took a deep breath while looking out the window. The Yi Lingfeng she knew from before was different.
In the past, when Dian Dian was ill, he had canceled work to accompany her and take Dian Dian to the hospital. It was because of such actions that she had considered him a suitable candidate when he proposed the fake marriage to adopt Dian Dian.
However, now, his attitude had clearly changed when he learned that Dian Dian had a health scare.
It seemed that the divorce needed to happen sooner rather than later.
Clasping her hands tightly, Jiang Wan Yu exhaled deeply and then, with a composed demeanor, turned back to the living room to continue watching TV with Dian Dian.
At the banquet venue, Zhou Jiancheng was holding a glass of champagne and accompanied by An Ran as he approached Yi Lingfeng.
“Lingfeng, you didn’t bring a female companion. Why didn’t you let me know? You could have had Ran Ran accompany you,” Zhou Jiancheng said with a smirk.
Yi Lingfeng, looking nonchalant, gazed at Zhou Jiancheng and replied, “Thanks for the offer, Uncle. But I never bring anyone other than my wife as a companion. What if she gets jealous?”
Zhou Jiancheng burst into laughter. “What qualifications does a twice-married woman have to control you, a man? How could you let a woman get on top of you?”
He then turned to An Ran and said, “Why don’t you quickly offer a toast to Lingfeng? Why do you seem so oblivious?”
Suppressing her frustration and resentment, An Ran tightly gripped her wine glass and offered a toast to Yi Lingfeng and said, “Mr. Yi, here’s for you.”
Hearing this, Yi Lingfeng raised his arm indifferently and replied, “Alright.”
He then downed his glass of wine.
An Ran quickly took a sip of her own.
Zhou Jiancheng with a grin on his face glanced at the two of them. It was evident that he hadn’t given up on his plan to get Yi Lingfeng and An Ran together.
An Ran found it utterly nauseating, but recalling Yi Lingfeng’s words, she suppressed the urge to splash her wine in Zhou Jiancheng’s face.
Disgusting!
At nine o’clock in the evening, the banquet came to an end.
Just as Yi Lingfeng was preparing to return to his hotel room, a girl with long hair, her face flushed, suddenly rushed from around the corner and collided with him, falling into his arms.
“Help me! Please save me!” The girl gazed at Yi Lingfeng with blurry eyes, her expression pleading.
Yi Lingfeng immediately realized that she had been drugged. He tried to push her away, but the girl’s soft fingers landed on his waist, and she clung to him tightly.
Smelling the alluring fragrance emanating from her body, Yi Lingfeng had never reacted to other women. He was astonished to find that he no longer had the same lack of reaction.
For a moment, he squinted his eyes and looked down at the girl in his arms.
At this moment, Zhao Yi whispered, “Mr. Yi, she seems to be Wu Youyou, the heiress of the Wu family.”
People who had conflicts with the old Madam in the past had already been thoroughly investigated in recent years, and the Wu family was one of them.
Upon hearing this, Yi Lingfeng’s mind quickly flashed with information about the Wu family.
The next moment, he whispered to Zhao Yi, “I see. You can go back to your room.” After that, he held the girl’s waist and headed towards his own suite.
As soon as they entered the room, two burly men in black rushed over to look for someone.
“Damn it, where is she? Where did she go?”
“Search over there!”
