Chapter 176: Chapter 176 Settling Affairs

Everything at the banquet proceeded in an orderly manner, nothing changed due to Xu Ke’s sudden disappearance, the only change was among the group from the Chu Family.

The first to approach Xu Ke and strike up a conversation was Chu Lian’s good friend, Yang Rongrong.

"Mr. Xu, Chu Lian is missing. Can you send someone from the manor to look for her? It’s already dark and cold outside, Xiao Lian is wearing a backless dress, I’m worried she might get lost or freeze." The anxiety in Yang Rongrong’s eyes was genuine, she looked quite agitated, her concern for Chu Lian made Xu Ke raise an eyebrow, further increasing the value he placed on Chu Lian.

"Don’t worry, Miss Chu is fine, she just caught a slight chill and is currently resting in the guest room. Please rest assured." Xu Ke gave Yang Rongrong a firm reassuring look, then walked back into the banquet with his wine glass.

"Don’t leave yet." Yang Rongrong grabbed Xu Ke’s sleeve, stopping him from leaving.

"Is there something else?" A flash of displeasure crossed Xu Ke’s eyes quickly, but when he turned his head, he looked gentle yet distant, with just the right amount of questioning in his eyes.

"Can I go see her?" Yang Rongrong looked at Xu Ke, her eyes filled with struggle, as if she wanted to say something but held back, finally gritting her teeth and asking.

"Of course, I’ll have someone take you there." Xu Ke, seeing the expression on the other’s face, knew what she was thinking and felt somewhat disdainful. In his heart, he already had Lin Mengyao, how could he possibly be interested in another woman, especially someone as foolish as Chu Lian.

Yang Rongrong saw that Xu Ke agreed to her request to see Chu Lian without any hesitation, and the stone in her heart was suddenly lifted, her gaze towards Xu Ke became much kinder, "Thank you." Yang Rongrong sincerely thanked Xu Ke.
