Chapter 1069 - That's not necessarily true, is it
Because the commotion grew bigger, guests soon whispered to each other about the situation.
“What is it? Did something happen?”novelbin
“I’m not sure. I think Ye Yiyi’s engagement ring is missing or something.”
“No way! Something as important as the engagement ring must be ready in advance, right? Howcould it suddenly disappear?”
…
With a solemn expression, Huang Mingkun headed for Ye Wanwan and the other heiresses whowent upstairs earlier.
“Apologies for the disturbance, miss. I wanted to ask whether you saw Miss Yiyi’s engagement ringwhen you were in Miss Yiyi’s room earlier?” Huang Mingkun asked politely.
A few of the heiresses shook their heads. “I didn’t notice it.”
Liang Shihan spoke up, “I saw it. Wasn’t it on Miss Yiyi’s table earlier?”
“That’s right, I saw it as well! It was a gorgeous jade ring!” an heiress wearing a yellow gown alsosaid.
Liang Shihan’s gaze shifted. “It was still there earlier. How could it suddenly have gone missing? Itcouldn’t have been stolen, right?”
The heiress in the yellow gown said, “Stolen? Everyone here today is a distinguished guest! So whywould they do such a sneaky thing?!”
“Heh, all distinguished guests? That’s not necessarily true, is it?” Liang Shihan glanced at YeWanwan bitterly.
Then Liang Shihan asked Huang Mingkun, “Steward Huang, have you searched everywherealready?”
Huang Mingkun nodded. “That’s right, we’ve searched everywhere, but we didn’t find it. Thebanquet is about to start, which is why I rushed over to ask you about it. If you’ve seen it, pleaseinform me at once.”
Then Huang Mingkun purposefully adopted a troubled tone and said, “I’ve searched all the servantsin the family with an in-depth search of the servants who entered Miss Yiyi’s room, but I haven’tfound anything. It’s like the ring disappeared into thin air.”
Liang Shihan screamed at once, “How could a ring just disappear into thin air? Since it was stillthere when we left, then it must’ve disappeared when we were helping Sister Yiyi choose herjewelry earlier.”
“It’s only us who entered Sister Yiyi’s room earlier. Since Steward Huang didn’t find it anywhere,why don’t we simply hand over our purses and allow Steward Huang to check them? If it’s not there,then Steward Huang can hurry and look for it elsewhere!”
Upon seeing that Liang Shihan was successfully steered by him, Huang Mingkun secretly revealeda smug smile and covered it with an apologetic expression. “We’re truly sorry for inconveniencingyou noble ladies. In truth, I shouldn’t be asking this, but today’s a big day for Miss Yiyi. If such animportant thing remains missing, I truly don’t know how to tell Miss Yiyi…”
Liang Shihan knew Huang Mingkun was a favorite of Ye Yiyi, so she immediately echoed his wordsto curry his favor, “That’s right, that’s right! It would be unlucky if we delayed Sister Yiyi’sengagement banquet! I’ll go first!”
Liang Shihan handed her handbag over. “Steward Huang, you can search mine first!”
Everyone was wearing a gown today, so the only possible hiding place for a ring was theirhandbags.
The other heiresses all handed their handbags over upon seeing this.
“My apologies!” Huang Mingkun immediately ordered the servants to check it.
Obviously, Huang Mingkun only had the servants superficially check those heiresses’ handbags anddidn’t shuffle through them. The handbags were quickly returned to their respective owners.
“Ah, it’s still missing…” Huang Mingkun sighed anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Liang Shihan said contemptuously, “Hold on, Steward Huang, isn’t there stillsomeone who hasn’t been searched yet?”
