Due to the growing commotion, guests started whispering to each other and asking about the situation.
"What is it? What happened? "
"I don't know. I think Ye Yiyi's engagement ring disappeared."
"No way, right?! Something as important as an engagement ring must've been prepared a long time ago! Why did it suddenly disappear? "
…
Huang Mingkun sternly walked toward Ye Wanwan and the other heiresses who just went upstairs.
"Apologies for the disturbance, ladies. May I ask if you saw Miss Yiyi's engagement ring when you went upstairs to Miss Yiyi's room?" Huang Mingkun politely inquired.
Several heiresses shook their heads. "I don't think I noticed it."
Liang Shihan said, "I saw it. Wasn't it on Sister Yiyi's table just now?"
"That's right, I also saw it! It's a very beautiful jade ring!" another heiress wearing a yellow gown also said.
Liang Shihan's eyes shifted. "It was there just now, so why did it suddenly disappear? It couldn't have been stolen, right?"
The heiress in the yellow dress said, "Stolen? Everyone who came today is an esteemed guest, so how could they do something so sneaky?! "
"Heh, all esteemed guests? That's not necessarily true, right? "Liang Shihan mockingly glanced at Ye Wanwan.
After saying that, Liang Shihan looked at Huang Mingkun and asked, "Steward Huang, did you search everywhere?"
Huang Mingkun nodded. "Yes, I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find it. The banquet is about to start, so I came here in such a hurry to ask you ladies. If you saw it, please tell me."
As Huang Mingkun spoke, he deliberately put on a troubled tone and said, "We've searched all the servants in the house, and we've searched the servants who entered Miss Yiyi's room, but we found nothing. The ring seems to have disappeared into thin air."
Liang Shihan shrieked, "How could a perfectly fine ring disappear into thin air? Since it was still there when we left, it must've disappeared while we were helping Sister Yiyi choose her necklace in her room.
There were only a few of us who entered Sister Yiyi's room just now. Since Steward Huang couldn't find anything, why don't the few of us who entered Sister Yiyi's room just now take out our bags and let Steward Huang check? If you don't have it, Steward Huang can quickly look for it elsewhere! "
When Huang Mingkun saw that Liang Shi Han had been successfully led by him, he secretly revealed a smile of success. However, he put on an apologetic expression and said, "I'm really sorry to disturb the esteemed ladies. Actually, I shouldn't have made such a request, but today is Miss Yiyi's big day. If I can't find such an important thing, I really can't explain myself …"
Liang Shi Han knew that Huang Mingkun was Ye Yiyi's favorite. In order to please him, she immediately went along with him. "That's right. It would be unlucky if Sister Yiyi's engagement party was delayed! I'll go first! "
Liang Shihan then handed her bag over. "Butler Huang, you can check mine first!"
Everyone was wearing formal attire today, so the only place to hide a ring was in a handbag.
Seeing this, the other young ladies also handed over their handbags.
"Excuse me!" Huang Mingkun immediately asked the servant to check.
However, it was obvious that Huang Mingkun only asked the servants to look at the bags symbolically when he was checking them. He didn't casually search through them and quickly returned the bags to the ladies.
"Sigh, still nothing …" Huang Mingkun sighed anxiously.
