Chapter 2650: Wait for My News! (4)
"Miss, what’s wrong?" The assistant froze for a few seconds upon seeing her squat down, then quickly walked forward, ready to help her.
"No! Don’t touch me! My stomach hurts!" Meimei clutched her stomach tightly, her delicate face all wrinkled like a bun.
"You probably drank too much yogurt today and have a bit of a stomach ache. You need to go get the necklace, and while you’re at it, bring me some medicine back. Otherwise, how can I attend the banquet later?"
"But Miss, you’re not feeling well. I should take you to the rest room first."
"I’m just a bit uncomfortable. Don’t delay, go quickly and come back. If you take too long, what if I feel even worse later?" Meimei abruptly interrupted the assistant, moving her hand from her abdomen to her waist and pinching her skin, inhaling sharply from the pain.
Her face, which was just a little pale earlier, now turned completely white, with cold sweat appearing on her forehead.
"I can go back to the room myself. Hurry up and go!" Meimei pressed her voice, urged again, and slowly stood up from the ground, her hand still pressing on her stomach, looking pitifully at the assistant.
"...I’ll be back right away." The assistant finally turned and got in the car, quickly driving away.
"Phew—"
All set!
Watching the assistant’s departing figure, Meimei slowly stood straight up, jogged forward, and couldn’t resist shouting as the car disappeared from sight.
She was really overjoyed. The entire day felt like someone was choking her. Now that no one was watching, she could finally breathe properly.
The first thing she did seemed to be to quickly reach the rest room, wait for the dress to be delivered, and tell her situation to Tingye.
"Hello, please show your invitation."
As soon as Meimei reached the back door, she discovered there were people even at the back door to check invitations, and seeing she wasn’t dressed in a gown, they immediately stopped her.
"Hold on a second, let me find it." Meimei rummaged through her bag, found the invitation, and handed it over.
"Hello, Miss Yu, please come in." The guard quickly bent down upon seeing her invitation.
"Thank you."
After walking a bit further, Meimei realized the estate hosting the banquet was really large, covering thousands of hectares. Looking out, the backyard was lush and green, and the villa area was located near the center, quite far from where she was.
She worried the assistant would return too soon, so she didn’t dare dawdle and started running inside.
After running for a while, she finally saw the brightly lit villa area and the guests conversing on the lawn outside the villas.
Quite a few people had arrived early, but since the banquet hadn’t officially started, everyone wasn’t really gathered together.
This was just right; she could sneak in without being noticed.
"Did you hear? Dan Tingye is coming today, and supposedly he’s bringing a date. He’s never brought a date to a banquet before. I wonder which woman is so lucky."
A voice with jealousy came from ahead.
Meimei lifted her head and saw several women in evening dresses rustling and talking not too far from her.
Upon hearing Dan Tingye’s name, Meimei paused her step, unable to resist eavesdropping.
She came back too late, and all these years, she barely knew anything about Tingye and Jiang Nan. Hearing a bit from others, she couldn’t help but stop.
