As the lights flickered, Ruan Yin and Weatherold got out of the car together. Xi Xuanyao walked quickly over to greet Weatherold. Ruan Yin was about to translate, but was amazed by Xi Xuanyao's fluent German. Little did she know that she was wearing a blue evening dress at that time, gentle and charming, which caught Xi Xuanyao's eyes and a smile flashed across her face.

As the group walked into the hotel, Xi Xuanyao turned his head from time to time to talk to Weatherill, chatting about the customs of Yuncheng and talking about family. A hint of tenderness flashed across Weatherill's eyes. He wondered how his wife was doing at home?

His guess was right. The relationship between Weatherard and his wife was not as bad as the rumors said. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Xing came over and whispered a few words in his ear. Xi Xuanyao said a few words apologetically and left in a hurry.

Ruan Yin accompanied Weatherard to a corner to rest for a while. From time to time, people came over to talk, some to discuss projects, and some to recommend themselves. Ruan Yin qualifiedly acted as a translator. Finally, there was some peace and quiet, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

In the corner, Chu Xuan was leaning back in a chair, bored, chatting with her friends in the circle. Suddenly, a voice caught her attention, "Xiao Xuan?"

She lifted her eyelids and looked over, with surprise in her eyes, "Sister Lanxi? When did you come back?"

"Yeah, why didn't you tell us you came back?"

“That’s it, let’s get together and have some fun.”

Shen Lanxi sat down with a faint smile and answered them one by one: "I came back not long ago. I was supposed to invite you guys out for a get-together, but I was busy with work and kept delaying it. You won't blame me, right?"

Chu Xuan immediately said, "How could that be? I'm so happy to see you back. Are you coming back to inherit the family business?" The Shen family only has one daughter, Shen Lanxi, so she made such a guess.

Shen Lanxi shook her head and said, "I went to work at Huiheng and wanted to learn more."

"It seems like we'll be able to attend Sister Shen and President Xi's wedding soon," one of the girls teased. Everyone knew that Shen Lanxi liked Xi Xuanyao.

Chu Xuan raised her chin, full of confidence: "Of course, Sister Lanxi is such a good person, who else can match her except President Xi? It's only a matter of time before the two of them become a perfect match."

Shen Lanxi's smile froze, she lowered her eyes and said, "Don't make such jokes in the future. I won't tell him anymore..."

Chu Xuan was impatient, and seeing this, she couldn't help but step forward and asked anxiously, "Sister Lanxi, what happened?"

Shen Lanxi sighed, lowered her head as if aggrieved, and looked sad: "It's nothing, maybe that person is better than me, so Brother Xuanyao chose her"

"Impossible! Sister Lanxi is the most outstanding person I have ever met. In terms of family background, appearance and ability, who can compare to you?" Chu Xuan said unconvinced.

Shen Lanxi shook her head helplessly. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Ruan Yin coming towards her and whispered, "She's here. Don't offend the Xi family because of me."

Chu Xuan looked over with disdain, surprise flashing in her eyes. Isn't this the person who bought the yellow diamond necklace? Thinking of what Sister Lanxi said, Chu Xuan's face flashed with displeasure, and she said loudly: "It's you!"

Ruan Yin was just looking for someone to ask where the restroom was when she heard a familiar voice and turned to look over. She was surprised for a moment and smiled and greeted him. An embarrassed look flashed across her face and she asked softly, "Do you know where the restroom is?"

Chu Xuan's eyes turned, and she stepped forward and said, "I'll take you there. I want to go too."

Shen Lanxi glanced at Chu Xuan worriedly, and the latter gave her a reassuring look. She could only watch the two of them leave.

Chu Xuan chattered non-stop on the way. When she heard that Ruan Yin came here to be a translator, she snorted in her heart. Most of the people at the banquet were from Yuncheng, so there was no need for a translator. She lied without thinking. Thinking of the necklace worth more than five million that day, she thought sourly that it must be the Xi family's money. Thinking of Sister Lanxi's lonely expression, her expression became more determined.

Ruan Yin didn't think too much about it. She felt inexplicably cordial when seeing a familiar person in such an occasion. While they were talking, they arrived at the bathroom. While Ruan Yin was in the toilet, Chu Xuan kicked over the bucket next to her, looked at the wet floor with an innocent smile, closed the door when she walked out of the bathroom, and moved the maintenance sign to the door. She looked at it with satisfaction before leaving leisurely.

Ruan Yin pushed the door open and saw the ground was wet. She frowned. She didn't know who would do such a wicked thing. Most of the ladies who came here wore high heels. It was easy to slip on such a ground. Fortunately, the shoes she wore had almost no heels. She walked carefully, and suddenly the soles of her shoes slid forward uncontrollably. Ruan Yin fell backwards. She frantically tried to grab something to control the fall, but she grabbed nothing. In the crisis, she had to support herself with her elbows. With a snap, the intense pain spread from her elbows to her whole body. "Woo" Ruan Yin cried out in pain, and cold sweat immediately seeped out of her forehead.

Ruan Yin felt a dull pain in her stomach and had no time to think. She endured the pain and moved her body to grab the phone not far away. She was almost there. You can do it, baby. Let's work hard together. Ruan Yin encouraged herself in her heart. She reached it and breathed a sigh of relief. However, the phone was not only wet, but the screen was cracked like a spider web. Ruan Yin pressed the power button anxiously, but there was no movement. Regret flashed in her eyes. Why didn't she change her phone to save money before? What should she do now?

Ruan Yin glanced around the bathroom in panic and shouted a few times, "Is there anyone there?" Her voice was the only voice in the empty place. When she felt something surging out from under her body, Ruan Yin could no longer care about anything else and shouted for help outside the door. However, the door blocked all her cries. Despair surged into her heart along with the water on the ground, almost drowning her entire body.

No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Ruan Yin moved cautiously towards the door step by step. She was almost there. Hang on, baby, come on, let's work together. Finally, she was there. Ruan Yin breathed a sigh of relief and used her knees to support her body to reach the door handle. However, her hand could not be lifted due to the violent impact. She tried to touch the handrail again and again, enduring the excruciating pain, until she was exhausted...

After Xi Xuanyao finished his business, he came to the banquet hall and saw Weatherard sitting there alone. He walked up to him and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

The two talked for a while, but Xi Xuanyao's doubts grew deeper and deeper, and he couldn't help asking, "Where's your translator? Why isn't he here?"

Weatherard's eyes flashed with displeasure. Ruan Yin did not return from such an important occasion, leaving him here without being able to communicate with others. He was upset that he had misjudged her before. He said calmly, "Half an hour ago, she said she was going to the bathroom and never came back. Maybe something delayed her. Does Mr. Xi know her?"

Xi Xuanyao's eyes flashed with deep thought. Ruan Yin attached great importance to today's banquet, so it was impossible for such a mistake to happen. Thinking of this, something quickly passed through his mind, and he explained seriously: "We do know each other. She has always been very serious about her work and would never forget her work because of other things. I can't see her now, so something may have really happened. As for my relationship with her, I will tell you the truth next time we meet. I'll leave you now." After that, he left in a hurry.
