After resigning, I was pestered by my ex-boss crying bitterly

Chapter 382

Back in his bedroom at night, Lan Xingruo lay lazily on the bed, unable to move.

Calculating the time, it is already one o'clock in the morning in Huaguo.

Originally, I wanted to send a video to Sheng Jingyi, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Unexpectedly, just as she was going to take a bath, Sheng Jingyi's video came over.

Lan Xingruo hurriedly picked it up, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I'm going to bed, but I miss you again."

Lan Xingruo pursed her lips and smiled, watching Sheng Jingyi yawn over there.

"Brother Yi, when are you coming?"

"Come on, bear with it." Sheng Jingyi said this in an extremely ambiguous manner.

"Tch, it's me who endures, or you who endure."

"We're together."

Lan Xingruo was amused, "Tomorrow is my grandma's birthday."

"Really? Why didn't you say it earlier, so I can prepare in advance."

"I only found out today, oh, by the way, my grandfather said he would give me an ancient castle by the sea as a wedding present."

"A set of ancient castles by the sea makes you so happy?"

"No, I'm so happy to see that Ellie is dying of anger! If I'm right, the person who kidnapped me and my brother came from Ellie's family. It may be her father, that is, my uncle. , or her eldest brother."

There is a big difference between Lan Zheng and his elder brother. The eldest brother is 62 years old this year, and Lan Xingruo's oldest cousin is also 43 years old this year, only two years younger than Lan Zheng.

Westerners are more open, and most members of the aristocracy are richer and more romantic, and there are many fathers who are young.

So Lan Zheng's cousin is also very likely to attack.

"Don't do it lightly, wait for me to pass."

"I know, that's right!" Lan Xingruo got up and walked to his dressing table, and opened a box, "Look, the jewelry my grandfather gave me. It is said that this set of jewelry is called Blue Stars. Does it look good?"

"A bit old-fashioned." Sheng Jingyi said dismissively.

"I also think it's a bit old-fashioned, but it is said that this set of jewelry is very expensive and priceless."

Duke Aaron is an aristocrat, and Lancaster used to be a royal family, so the jewelry he sent was naturally high-end orphans.

Sheng Jingyi even showed a look of contempt.

"Why are you making that expression?"

"You like jewelry, I'll buy it for you, don't wear this one, it doesn't look good."

Lan Xingruo suppressed a smile, "You're so jealous, Mr. Sheng Jingyi."

Eat all this vinegar!

"I'm not jealous, I just think it's ugly."

"I will wear it once tomorrow. My grandfather asked me to wear this set of jewelry by name. If it doesn't fit, I will wear it once tomorrow."

"Then don't wear it after wearing it tomorrow."

"Well, listen to you."

Sheng Jingyi suddenly said, "Think about what you forgot?"

"What's the matter? I haven't forgotten anything, have I?"

"forget!"

"Remind me!"

"You don't have a ring on!"

Lan Xingruo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I didn't wear it on purpose, such an expensive ring, and I have to take such a long flight, and the ring is too big, I'm tired of wearing it."

"You have to wear that too, to prove that you are the one who is going to get married!"

Lan Xingruo held his chin and looked at Sheng Jingyi, "Aren't you very uneasy over there, worried that I will be snatched away?"

"Nonsense! My wife is so beautiful, so smart, so well-behaved and sensible, who wouldn't like it?"

Lan Xingruo laughed so hard that he leaned forward and backward, "Virtue! Don't worry, others can't take it away. Okay, don't talk about it, go to bed quickly."

"Good night."

"Good night."

After hanging up the video, Lan Xingruo remembered that he forgot to kiss, so he sent Sheng Jingyi a "kiss" emoji, but Sheng Jingyi didn't reply to him.

Fall asleep so soon?

Forget it, let him sleep, he's so tired.

This guy is worried that he will be robbed every day, so he must be working non-stop. If he wants to come here soon, let him rest.

If Lan Xing sleeps well this night, it is also very solid.

The next day was Lan Xiang's birthday banquet.

Duke Aaron is a person who likes to be lively, but Lan Xiang likes to be quiet, so her birthday banquet only invited people from the family, and also invited some close friends.

The birthday banquet started at night.

In the afternoon, Ruan Qingning and Lan Xingruo helped Lan Xiang with styling.

Wearing Hanfu is a bit cumbersome, and hairstyles are even more difficult.

Ruan Qingning and Lan Xingruo worked for several hours to get it done.

She was dressed in bright red, paired with classic indigo blue, and exquisite peony embroidery. Ruan Qingning also specially brought an exquisite hairpin and pearl hairpin.

It's a work of art.

Lan Xiang was also very satisfied. Standing in front of the mirror, the corners of her lips couldn't stop rising.

"Thank you for my beautiful daughter-in-law and my best granddaughter."

"Let's take a photo together." Lan Xingruo took out his mobile phone, and the three of them frantically took pictures together.

I took serious photos, and I also took all kinds of funny photos.

The birthday banquet in the evening is about to begin, and the birthday stars will naturally make their debut.

As soon as Lan Xiang appeared, everyone exclaimed, it was really beautiful.

Ruan Qingning hastily pulled Lan Xingruo aside, the mother and daughter were only focused on serving the birthday star without even changing their clothes.

They hurried upstairs to change.

After Ruan Qingning finished changing, she waited at the door of Lan Xingruo's room. As soon as Lan Xingruo walked out, she immediately said, "Didn't your grandfather tell you to wear the blue star he gave you?"

"Oh, I forgot!" Lan Xingruo returned to his room.

If Lan Xing opened the jewelry box in front of the dressing table, it was empty.

She finished the video with Sheng Jingyi last night, and she put the jewelry back, why is it gone?

"An'an, are you alright?" Ruan Qingning couldn't wait any longer, so she walked in.

Lan Xingruo was sweating anxiously, "Mom, the jewelry that grandpa gave me is gone!"

"how could be?"

"It's gone!"

If Lan Xing rummaged through the entire dressing table, she couldn't find it. She didn't have many things, and she remembered them clearly, so they put them in the box.

"That's broken."

"It won't be stolen, will it?"

Ruan Qingning hurriedly appeased Lan Xingruo, "It's okay, there may be many people in a while, so no one may notice you."

"Will grandpa be angry?"

"You must be angry if you are angry. Your grandfather is good at everything, but the nobleman's habits can't be changed. He wants to save face and has a strong desire to control. He wants you to wear it. You must wear it, otherwise he will really lose his temper. "

Although Ruan Qingning hadn't been here much, he knew a lot about Duke Aaron's temper from Lan Zheng.

In this way, Lan Xingruo became even more nervous.

"Grandma is very beautiful today. Grandpa will definitely care more about grandma. Let's keep quiet about the jewelry and wait until the birthday party is over."

"Row."

The mother and daughter went out together. If Lan Xing never expected that he could still throw things in the castle?

This is ridiculous, right?

The key is that the blue star is just like that, whoever steals it will not dare to wear it.

Lan Xingruo attended the birthday banquet with Ruan Qingning only with anxiety.

She didn't dare to be too ostentatious, and kept hiding behind people.

As a bodyguard, Si Ye was far away, but he soon noticed that Lan Xingruo seemed to be timid if he encountered some problem.

He quietly came to Lan Xingruo's side, "Why are you sneaking around? You were fine at the royal ball that day, what are you afraid of today?"

"What do you know? The jewelry my grandfather gave me is gone. By the way, haven't you been around my room? Have you seen anyone suspicious?" Lan Xingruo said cautiously.

"No, the security personnel in the castle started this morning and stopped us from inside."

Si Ye was also very helpless, but he didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he could only follow other people's arrangements.

"My grandfather asked me to wear it today, but he lost it. If he saw it, he would be very angry."

"What happened..."

Si Ye whispered: "I'll go and find it for you."

"Okay, then please."

It just so happens that everyone is in the banquet hall now, and there is no one upstairs.

If Lan Xing guessed that the jewel was lost, there was probably no one else.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Si Ye went upstairs quietly.

If Lan Xing could only continue to be trembling.

Allie and Tina are very well dressed today.

"I heard that Cousin An is going to get married. When she gets married, will you go to Huaguo to attend the wedding?"

Ellie was very disdainful, "How can a wedding of a low-level yellow man deserve to be attended by a noble lady from the Lancaster family?"

Ellie glanced at Tina, "Who did she marry?"

"I don't know either, I'll ask in a while."

"I heard that she used to be in the countryside of Huaguo, she was very poor, and she didn't have much education, so she probably married a poor man, hahaha..." Ellie couldn't help laughing, "The lowly yellow people, That is to say, my uncle is a bit capable, otherwise she might only be able to marry a country bumpkin."

"Ann is beautiful, and her fiancé is also handsome, right?"

Ellie rolled her eyes, "It's just a lower race."

Tina drank the juice and chatted intentionally or unintentionally.

Lan Xiang is very happy, she is so beautiful today, many people want to take photos with her, after all, such a precious oriental beauty's makeup is rare.

"Okay, okay, it's time for the birthday boy to cut the cake and make a wish." Duke Aaron was also very happy.

Looking at his beloved wife, who seemed to be back when she was young and beautiful, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"Where is Xingruo? My precious granddaughter, let her cut the cake with me."

Ruan Qingning knew what was going on, so she said playfully, "Mom, why don't you let me cut the cake with you? Your precious daughter-in-law has never cut the cake with you."

"Okay, okay, you two are together, Xingruo!" Lan Xiang still insisted that Lan Xingruo be together.

Suddenly being called by name, Lan Xingruo could only bite the bullet and walk forward.

Three oriental faces stand together, it is really a beautiful picture.

Ellie looked at Lan Xingruo's empty neck, and said, "Ann, where is the blue star that grandpa gave you?"

Duke Aaron subconsciously looked at Lan Xingruo's neck.

She is not wearing any jewelry!

This made Duke Aaron's face sink instantly.

It's fine if she doesn't wear it on weekdays. Today is such an important occasion, and he personally told her yesterday that he will wear it today!

But she still disobeyed herself!
