Chapter 563: Pilfering?

~7 min read 1,319 words

"Thank you, Xiao Guanjia."

"Butler, you don't need to trouble yourself."

After everyone politely greeted Xiao Ren, they continued to chat.

Xiao Ren walked to Yan Hongyu's side, lowered his head slightly, and said to him: "Second Young Master, the ceremony is about to start."

Yan Hongyu put down the wine glass in his hand and glanced calmly at Xu Tian, who was still on the phone.

Xiao Ren smiled knowingly and replied: "Everything is arranged, please rest assured, Second Young Master."

"Well, you go out first, I'll go downstairs in a while."

Yan Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally tense nerves relaxed.

"Sorry, the ceremony is about to start, everyone please go to the banquet hall downstairs and take your seats." Yan Hongyu stood up and greeted his college classmates. "I still need to change into a suit, I'll go downstairs in a while."

"Okay Hongyu, then we'll go down first."

Several college classmates stood up one after another and walked downstairs.

"Xu Tian, you go down with them too."

Yan Hongyu glanced at Xu Tian's direction again, as well as the men's briefcase left alone on the sofa.

Xu Tian put away the phone, walked from the window to Yan Hongyu, and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Don't need me to choose a suit for you anymore?"

"No need, I decided to wear the one Miaoyin likes." Yan Hongyu gave a dry laugh, and there seemed to be a sense of showing off in his eyes. "Today is our engagement ceremony, of course I have to listen to my fiancée for everything."

"Then I wish you a happy engagement."

Xu Tian didn't say a word, picked up his briefcase, and turned to leave the dressing room.

It wasn't until Xu Tian's figure disappeared from Yan Hongyu's sight that he breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of hatred flashing in his eyes.

"Xu Tian, don't blame me for being ruthless, you forced me to do this!"

After Xu Tian went downstairs, he returned to the position where Yan Qingxue and Su Xiuya were.

Yan Qingxue looked at Xu Tian nervously and asked in a low voice: "Did that Yan Hongyu really ask you to go over to help him choose a suit? He wouldn't want to take the opportunity to make things difficult for you, would he?"

Yan Qingxue didn't believe that Yan Hongyu would really let Xu Tian go over to help him choose a suit. Their two families weren't close, and Yan Hongyu had invited quite a few friends to the scene today, so no matter how you look at it, it wouldn't be Xu Tian's turn.

Xu Tian calmly picked up a cup of tea: "He changed his mind, saying that the one his fiancée chose is the best."

"I knew it!" Yan Qingxue gritted her teeth and said. "He was just deliberately tossing you around. This kid doesn't even stop when he's getting engaged, and he just thinks of some crooked ways!"

"Forget it, they are getting engaged today, no need to care." Xu Tian drank the tea in his hand in one gulp without minding, and then asked: "What about you guys here? No one came to find trouble, right?"

"With so many people here today, I dare Second Aunt and the others not to." Qingxue rolled her eyes and glanced at the direction of Yan Ershen not far away. "And I guess she doesn't have time to pay attention to us today, she's busy being a social butterfly."

Just as Yan Qingxue and Xu Tian were talking, Xiao Ren ran down from the stairs on the second floor with several banquet hall staff.

They looked nervous and looked around. After going downstairs, they dispersed directly and searched for something in every corner of the banquet hall.

Yan Qingxue looked at Xiao Ren's nervous and panicked look and couldn't help but frown: "Isn't this the lackey beside Yan Ershen? Why is he in such a panic? Could it be that the task given to him was messed up?"

Yan Qingxue had never liked Xiao Ren. He was clearly just a dog relying on his master's power, but he always liked to put on a high-and-mighty posture in front of them, completely forgetting that he could have his current status all because of her father's help.

"Hehe..." Xu Tian glanced at the briefcase next to his seat and curled his lips slightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Yan Qingxue asked curiously.

"Nothing." Xu Tian shook his head. "You go get more snacks, there will be a good show to watch in a while."

"A good show?"

Yan Qingxue didn't understand, but she still ran to the cold food area and brought back a fruit platter and a few small cakes.

"What kind of good show is it exactly? Did you discover something?"

Xu Tian didn't explain, but picked a piece of watermelon from Yan Qingxue's fruit platter and ate it slowly.

"You'll know in a while."

Just as Xu Tian and Yan Qingxue were talking in low voices, several more panicked staff members ran into the banquet hall.

Many people present discovered this situation, and some even ran to Xiao Ren to ask what happened and if they needed help.

"What exactly happened?"

"I see Xiao Guanjia is very anxious, isn't something wrong?"

"I don't know the specific situation either. The ceremony is about to start soon. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome."

"I found out, it's the diamond watch that Yan Hongyu is going to wear at the engagement banquet is missing!"

"What, a diamond watch? That must be very expensive. Such precious things should be kept well, how could it be missing?"

Just as everyone was discussing in a panic, Xiao Guanjia walked toward the direction of Xu Tian and the others.

Yan Hongyu's college classmates were arranged in the seats next to the Yan family relatives, so as soon as Xiao Ren walked over, he said directly to everyone: "Sorry, gentlemen, I want to ask, did you see the diamond watch placed on the dressing table in the Second Young Master's dressing room just now?"

Although Xiao Ren's tone was polite, the several college classmates present all realized the seriousness of the problem from his anxious expression.

"Wasn't the watch always on the dressing table?"

"I've seen that watch, but I knew it was very expensive, so I didn't touch it."

"I saw it too. It is said to be a limited-edition diamond watch worth tens of millions. I was afraid of breaking it for Hongyu, so I just took a look from afar."

"That watch is something you can't buy even with money. I also asked a purchasing agent to help before, but I didn't grab it. It's a pity. I originally wanted to borrow it from Hongyu to wear for two days after the engagement ceremony. Why is it missing now?"

Among Yan Hongyu's college classmates, there were rich second generations like him, and there were also ordinary people with ordinary family backgrounds, so their attitudes toward that diamond watch were also different.

Yan Qingxue and Yan Hongyu's cousin Su Weixin also walked over.

"Xiao Guanjia, Cousin's diamond watch is missing? How is that possible? We saw that watch when we went to his dressing room to chat before. It's missing so quickly, could it be that someone pilfered it?"

"Pilfered?"

Others heard Su Weixin's words and were all a bit surprised.

"The people who came to attend the engagement ceremony today are either relatives or friends of the Yan family. Who could do such an indecorous thing?"

"But some people are just indecorous." Su Weixin looked at Xu Tian's direction with an implication, and then said to Xiao Ren: "Xiao Guanjia, are you sure every corner of the hotel has been searched?" ===== CHAPTER 564 =====
