"Ah, there you are!"

Wen Qiang heaved a sigh of relief, seeing his son. He got really worried for a moment.

He smiled. "Old Madam, Yaoting is here. We can call Jiang Ruiling and proceed with the engagement."

She nodded.

Old Madam walked up to Jiang Weiyuan and Jiang Ninghong's side. She coldly glanced at the couple. "Bring Ruiling down."

Jiang Li's wife, Jiang Lanying offered. "Mom, I can go."

"It's alright," she narrowed her eyes. "I will do it."

Just at that moment, Ruomei came rushing in and said, "Old Madam. There seems to be a problem. I am trying calling Jiang Ruiling's number, but she isn't picking up her phone. I was worried for her since the power went out, but there was no answer and it was too dark to find the way to the room…I hope she is not in trouble…" her voice sounded distressed.

Jiang Weiyuan squinted his gaze.

"What? Jiang Ruiling isn't answering your call?" Wen Yaoting walked towards them and asked.

His question brought everyone's attention to him. The guests frowned.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Are they talked about Jiang Ruiling?"

Ruomei quickly shook her head. "Ah no no. It's nothing serious really…"

Wen Yaoting seriously said, "Please, Miss Shi. Don't hide anything from me. If it's about Jiang Ruiling, then it's my right to know about her. After all, I am her future husband. I cannot ignore it if it's about her."

"This…"

The Old Madam tugged her arm and whispered, "What is going on?" She glared at her. "Is there some problem with her?"

"I don't know, Old Madam...It's just she isn't answering."

Wen Yaoting quickly said, "Well then I cannot wait here like this. If she is in trouble, we have to look into it!"

The guests became even more confused but were curious too about this situation. The Old Madam narrowed her eyes and got a bad feeling about this.

"Don't worry. I think it might be just her phone battery."

"But she had fully charged her phone before leaving the house. I know because I just happened to see it," she probed.

"Forget about the phone then. Go and check on her."

Ruomei nodded. "Yes, Old Madam."

Wen Yaoting added. "Wait. I will come with you too. I am getting worried for her. I will only feel relieved once I see her safe."

The guests murmured among themselves.

"Ah, Jiang Ruiling is so lucky."

"Yup they aren't even married, but he is already so concerned about her."

"It's hard to get men like this these days."

The Old Madam thought about it. "I will come with you too."

A glint of cunningness flashed past her eyes and her lips faintly curled into a smirk. "Yes, Old Madam."

---

In front of Jiang Ruiling's room, the Old Madam stood and knocked on the door.

Ruomei and Wen Yaoting shared glances and smiled. Everything went according to their plan.

*Twenty minutes ago*

After Wen Yaoting had that clash with Shen Yang, he got a call from an anonymous number.

"Hello."

He raised his brow. He didn't know who she was but was happy nevertheless to get a call from a woman.

"Hey babe," he smiled.

There was a cough from the other end and she said, "Wen Yaoting. Please meet me at this address. I have some useful information that could really help you tonight."

He blinked his eyes. "Useful information?"

"Yes. It's regarding your to-be fiance, Jiang Ruiling."

His eyes widened.

"It's important that you know this information or you will be in serious trouble tonight, Wen Yaoting. If you don't want to fall under her carefully laid trap, then do meet me. This is for your own benefit."

She hung up before he could ask anything more. He frowned.

Trap?

A minute later, he was at the place where that unknown woman had asked him to come. He heard footsteps and was surprised to see Ruomei coming towards him.

"Shi Ruomei…"

She smiled. "Wen Yaoting."

She furrowed her brows seeing the scar on his face, but she didn't bother to ask.

"What is this about Jiang Ruiling and a trap?" He narrowed his eyes.

"I am glad that Wen Yaoting is so quick to the point. Here you are celebrating your engagement with her, but she has put all her pieces in place for your doom."

"What do you mean?"

She chuckled. "Jiang Ruiling and Shen Yang."

He blinked his eyes.

"They are in an... ambiguous relationship."

He looked at her, stunned.

"What!? That bodyguard?"

"Yes, the same bodyguard. Jiang Ruiling and Shen Yang are in love with each other, and they are hiding their relationship from everyone. This engagement ceremony is a thorn in their way so they want to pluck it out by destroying you."

Wen Yaoting balled his fist in anger. "What the hell…"

"This has been going on for a long time now and one of my friends even saw them going together in the men's changing room to…you know what," she left it at that.

He punched his fist on the wall and angrily cursed. He broke into mocking laughter. "I understand now. That's why fucking bodyguard stopped me from holding her hand at the restaurant, and even she allowed him to intrude on our date! And just now that piece of shit warned me to break off the engagement! I finally understand what is going on now. They were playing games with me all this time!"

Ruomei said, "This is nothing. The main curtain will rise tonight. If you hear what Jiang Ruiling has planned for you, you will surely die in anger."

He coldly said, "Tell me everything."

She explained Ruiling's plan and how she had planned to drug him and then use it against him to ruin his reputation.

Wen Yaoting was in disbelief. His expression turned ugly. "That bitch! How dare she do this!? The nerve of her trying to use Wen Yaoting!"

He was so furious that he was ready to strangle her right now if she would appear before him.

Ruomei smirked. "But now that we know her plan, we can stop her and make her fall into her own trap."
