Chapter 458: Crossing the Line as a Dog Talking about the Master


Hou Chuan stood in front of Bei Jinzhou, his pitch-black eyes fixed on the man in front of him, with sharp and icy light flickering in his gaze. "Bei Jinzhou."


This person is Su Jingshu's most loyal dog, extremely cunning and scheming.


He is in charge of many of the Su family's visible businesses, a puppet launched by the Su family.


If the other party can appear here, it must mean that the Su family has also received the news.


Bei Jinzhou showed a distant smile on his face. "Hou Chuan, we meet again."


Huo Chuan had no good feelings towards him at all and said coldly, "Since you're here, you must know the situation. Cooperate with my Madam's investigation and find Second Master Qin as soon as possible."


"It's my pleasure."


Bei Jinzhou was polite and stepped aside, revealing the advanced and sophisticated monitoring equipment behind him.


Ignoring the silent contest between the two, Qin Ruan walked up to Shen Junjie, who had been thrown to the ground and tightly suppressed by the Hou family's secret guards.


Looking at this young man with messy dyed hair, Qin Ruan's eyes revealed a strange light.


If it weren't for the expensive brand-name clothes he was wearing, she would have thought he was just a street punk. He didn't look like Qin Mei's classmate at all.


This person's appearance seemed too rushed, even more mature-looking than his older brother.


To prevent Shen Junjie from escaping, the Hou family's secret guards kept their feet on him, rendering him completely defenseless on the ground.


"I heard that you had a fight with Qin Mei at the underground bar the night before yesterday?"


As Qin Ruan's voice sounded from above, Shen Junjie looked up in a sorry state.


A face with a pure yet charming appearance, a woman with outstanding image and temperament came into his view.


Shen Junjie was stunned for a moment.


Then his face suddenly changed, and he stammered, "You, you're Qin Mei?! No, you're a woman!"


Qin Ruan and Qin Mei were twins, and their faces looked similar.


The former was gentle and beautiful, with the beauty that had been tempered by time, while Qin Mei had a colder and tougher appearance. He had a cynical attitude and was full of the air of a ruffian.


Apart from their similar appearances, the two had completely different temperaments.


Qin Ruan wanted to bend down, but her belly had already started to show, and bending down was becoming difficult for her.


She raised her hand to the Hou family's secret guards and said, "Help him up."


The secret guards immediately pulled Shen Junjie up from the ground and made him kneel down.


Qin Ruan bent down and approached Shen Junjie, staring at his slightly anxious face. Her cold voice resounded, "Answer my questions truthfully. Was there anything unusual about Qin Mei the night he fought with you?"


The moment Qin Ruan saw Shen Junjie, she was certain that her second brother's disappearance had nothing to do with him.


Intimidated by the situation in the hall, Shen Junjie had already lost his arrogant attitude from upstairs.


He shook his head at Qin Ruan, "I don't know."


He didn't even hesitate, not bothering to think with his brain.


Qin Ruan's gaze turned slightly cold. She patted Shen Junjie's face with her hand. "Think carefully. Every word you say will come with consequences."


Being slapped in the face by a woman, Shen Junjie felt insulted.


He ground his teeth, glaring


 angrily at the face in front of him, which looked almost identical to his mortal enemy. "Little girl, who are you to Qin Mei? How dare you hit me? I'll make sure to kill you later!"


"Smack!"

Response to Shen Junjie was a painful cheek.


Qin Ruan's patience was declared exhausted with the slap she gave. She had a grim expression, her eyes fixed on the young man in front of her with a gloomy gaze. "Take three minutes to think carefully. What happened between you and Qin Mei the night before last? Was there anything unusual about him?"


Shen Junjie touched his slapped face, staring at Qin Ruan incredulously. "You dare to hit me, you bitch!"


"Smack!"


Qin Ruan slapped him again, this time with more force than before. Shen Junjie's face was distorted, displaying a vivid range of colors from pale to red.


He looked up at Qin Ruan with a fierce expression, his voice dripping with resentment. "You...!"


"Smack!"


Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Ruan slapped him once more. Her eyes filled with coldness as she sternly said, "Stop wasting time with pointless words and answer my question!"


Realizing the situation, Shen Junjie, who had been slapped three times in a row, immediately became obedient. His breathing became heavy, his face aggressive as he spoke the words Qin Ruan wanted to hear, "How would I know what's wrong with Qin Mei? That guy is arrogant. He thought I wanted to fight him just by looking at him! Who would bother paying attention to him for no reason?!"


She despised his evasive attitude and time wasted in pointless discussions. One of the secret guards from the Hou family, seeing the increasingly displeased expression on the Madam's face, grabbed Shen Junjie's arm and twisted it behind his back.


"Ouch! It hurts! Big brother, be gentle!"


Shen Junjie cried out in pain, his voice filled with agony. The guard's rough voice had more authority than Qin Ruan's angry yet pleasing voice.


Shen Junjie immediately surrendered, "I'll talk, just let go of me first!"


The secret guard released the twisted arm but maintained his grip with force. Shen Junjie furrowed his brows and began to recollect every detail of his encounter with Qin Mei two nights ago.


Hou Chuan, who had finished reviewing the surveillance footage, had a solemn and unpleasant expression. Hearing the commotion from Madam's side, he shifted his gaze in that direction.


Mr. Bei Jinzhou, retracting his probing gaze from Qin Ruan, spoke to Hou Chuan with an ambiguous tone, "The Madam of the Third Young Master is quite interesting."


Hou Chuan turned around, staring coldly at Bei Jinzhou. "We both hold the same position. We each serve our respective masters. You have crossed the line by discussing the master of the Hou family while being a dog of the Su family."


Bei Jinzhou smiled, his eyes and brows curved, showing no signs of being upset by being compared to a dog of the Su family. He leisurely said, "The master of the Hou family? It's a bit too early to say that."


His words carried a faint disdain for Qin Ruan, who neither belonged to the Four Great Families nor came from a scholarly family. It was enough for people to perceive it.


Bei Jinzhou simply didn't believe that Qin Ruan, with her background, could become the mistress of the Hou family. The significance of matching backgrounds was crucial for the major families. It didn't only represent the marriage of two individuals but also the interests of two powerful families.


Even if the Hou family didn't require a marriage alliance, with Qin Ruan's status, she would never be able to secure the position of the Hou family's mistress.


Who is the Third Young Master Huo? He is the next heir of the Hou family.

The heir of the Hou family, even the president, has to be polite to him. This family controls the life and death of many families.


Behind the glamorous facade, there are also numerous crises that ordinary people cannot see.


Hou Yunjiao is physically weak, perhaps not destined for a long life like an ordinary person, but he is the future esteemed head of the Hou family.


Not just anyone can secure the position of the Hou family's matriarch.


To become the matriarch of the Hou family, it's not about exceptional appearance or how strong one's fists are.


There are many people who can fight, and even if a woman is skilled in combat, the Hou family doesn't require the matriarch to personally engage in physical confrontation.


Qin Ruan may possess outstanding looks and be adept at self-defense among ordinary people, but when placed among these prominent families, she becomes inconspicuous, even negligible.


In the four major families and the six noble families, each woman possesses unique and outstanding looks, along with their own schemes and clever minds.


Compared to these meticulously groomed women from these families, Qin Ruan is truly lacking.


On the day Hou Yunjiao took Qin Ruan to the wedding of Nangong Chang, her personal information had already been thoroughly investigated by various forces.


Jinzhou from the Bei family dared to say that over 99% of people didn't think Qin Ruan had a chance of becoming the Hou family's matriarch.


Based on the few pages of personal information they found on Qin Ruan, aside from her exceptional looks, it could be said that she had no other redeeming qualities.


Hou Chuan glanced at Bei Jinzhou with a hint of disdain written on his face.


He was too familiar with this expression. When Qin Ruan arrived at the Hou family, not only he but also the people beneath him adopted a wait-and-see attitude towards her.


They believed that a woman standing beside their master, even if not from the four major families or noble households, should at least be a knowledgeable and intelligent woman from a scholarly and respectable background.


Who could have imagined that it would be someone of even lower status than them—a girl who grew up in a poor district for eighteen years?


After Third Young Master and Qin Ruan registered their marriage, the Hou family's secret guards showed excessive respect towards Qin Ruan, but there was no sense of loyalty.
