▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Upon hearing this, Lu Han hurriedly said, "Madam Hou, this truly troubles me. We invited too many people today, and the manpower of the Lu Family is insufficient. That's why we allowed Nangong Chang to come and disturb you. Otherwise, the following situation wouldn't have occurred."
Lu Han already knew the specific situation clearly.
The current problem was to send Qin Ruan back to the Hou Family first and then see what actions Nangong's family would take.
Ling Xiaoxuan, feeling a bit weak in the legs, stood up from the sofa.
She walked towards Qin Ruan with stiff steps, her expression full of concern. "Qin Ruan, do you want to make a phone call to Third Young Master?"
Given Nangong Chang's arrogant and retaliatory nature, Qin Ruan was really in trouble this time.
Unless the Hou Family truly valued her, Nangong's family would definitely not take this loss lying down.
Qin Ruan remained calm. "No need. Third Young Master is overseas."
She was fearless. At the moment she made a move, she didn't consider the consequences.
In this life, her bottom line was her family, her child, and Hou Yunjiao —no one could touch them!
When her second brother was held at gunpoint and danger approached, the pain and unease in Qin Ruan's heart were indescribable. Nobody knew how terrified she was.
The grief of losing loved ones in her previous life made her feel her scalp tingle, her chest tighten, her breathing become difficult, her heart race, and her chest ache the moment her second brother's life was threatened.
That feeling was like she was about to die.
Experiencing this sense of fear once again drove Qin Ruan into madness. The bloodlust surging up from the depths of her heart almost became uncontrollable.
If it weren't for Lu Han and Lu Yichen rushing in, she would have really killed Nangong Chang.
At that moment, she considered the Hou Family, herself, and the present Qin Family.
Removing Nangong Chang's arms could be considered Qin Ruan's greatest tolerance.
As for Hou Yunjiao, Qin Ruan had no intention of telling him.
If she had to rely on Third Young Master to resolve such matters, wouldn't she be nothing but useless?
Back when she was in West City, she had repeatedly disregarded the consequences in order to protect herself, displaying a fearless momentum.
No matter what actions Nangong's family took next, she would face them head-on.
It all depended on who had the greater skill.
Lu Han personally escorted Qin Ruan, Qin Mei, Lin Hao, and Ling Xiaoxuan out of the Lu Family.
Before Qin Ruan got into the car, Lu Han whispered in her ear, "Madam Hou, it's best if you inform Third Young Master about tonight's incident. The Nangong family is a prominent family with significant influence. If they investigate further, you might find yourself in a difficult situation."
Qin Ruan nodded. "I will consider it. I'll contact you later."
She was already too tired to explain any further.
Since she had done what she did tonight, she had already prepared herself to face the consequences.
The Nangong family was indeed not to be underestimated, but that didn't mean she had no means of self-preservation and making a clean escape.
Lu Han observed Qin Ruan's indifferent expression and could tell that she was just going through the motions.
He had said everything he needed to say.
"Safe travels, Madam Hou."
Qin Ruan got into the car, and Lin Hao closed the door.
Lu Han stood behind the car, watching the Hou family's convoy drive away.
...
At the same time.
Hou Yunjiao, who was in the United States, received an international call.
As soon as the call connected, a respectful voice sounded.
"Third Young Master, Madam has caused trouble."
It was early morning in the United States, and Hou Yunjiao had just finished washing up after getting out of bed. He paused for a moment in his actions of drying his damp hair.
"Has Madam been bullied or injured?"
His cold voice resonated in the quiet, cool-toned bedroom.
"No, Madam broke both of Nan Gongchang's arms."
"As long as Madam is not hurt."
Hou Yunjiao continued drying his hair.
He turned on the speakerphone on his mobile phone and placed it on the table.
Walking gracefully to the bedside, he picked up another phone.
Hou Yunjiao, dressed in casual attire, had a handsome and refined appearance. He was tall with a cold aura surrounding him, displaying the imposing manner of someone in a superior position.
At this moment, there was no trace of the gentleness he showed when facing Qin Ruan.
Huo Yunjiao's hand holding the phone slid across the screen as if searching for something.
He asked in a deep voice, "Why did Madam have a conflict with Nangong Chang?"
"...Nangong Chang pointed a gun at Qin Mei. Madam got angry and disarmed Nangong Chang with her bare hands. If it weren't for the two young masters from the Lu family rushing in, Madam might have killed Nangong Chang. Madam also mentioned the threat you made to Nangong Chang during the previous banquet when you had a sudden illness. The implication was that her bottom line is you and her family, and no one can touch them."
Listening to the detailed report on the other end of the phone, Hou Yunjiao's indifferent expression turned gentle.
The normally sharp corners of his eyes contained a faint smile.
Hou Yunjiao's lips curled up, and his voice became low and soft. "Notify Big Brother as well. Don't let Madam worry. She's not in good health, and everyone below should be disciplined."
"Yes, Third Young Master—"
The voice on the other end of the phone responded, followed by a respectful inquiry, "Third Young Master, how should we handle the Nangong family?"
"I will call Nangong Yunlong."
Hou Yunjiao's fingertip, sliding on the phone screen, paused and gently tapped the screen.
An international call was dialed.
The phone screen displayed the image of Nangong Yunlong.
Nangong Yunlong, Nangong Chang's biological father and the current power holder of the Nangong family.
This man had great ambitions, aiming to control the cabinet and seize the position currently held by the Long family.
The Nangong family was determined to obtain that position and used all means, frequently testing the bottom line of the Hou family.
Their collusion with the Yin Yang Sect and their involvement with the Witch Clan showed their willingness to go to any lengths to achieve their goal.
In recent years, the Nangong family had become increasingly audacious.
The Hou family didn't take action against them out of fear but rather to maintain the overall situation.
Certain matters were not worth making a fuss over. If they could be overlooked, they would be, but some boundaries could be enforced.
This time, Third Young Master Hou, did not feel troubled by Qin Ruan's disabling of Nangong Chang's arms.
He had no intention of taking Nangong Chang's life. It seemed the little girl had considered the bigger picture.
The dialed call was quickly answered.
"Yunjiao, what made you think of calling me?"
Through the phone's
speaker, a friendly and kind middle-aged man's voice came through.
A smile slowly formed at the corner of Hou Yunjiao's lips. "Uncle Nangong, haven't you rested yet?"
"What time is it? I have a pile of official matters to attend to."
Nangong Yunlong's laughter carried an amiable tone.
Hou Yunjiao's voice was clear and deep as he spoke, "There's something I need to apologize to you for."
"That's unusual coming from you. You've always been able to win people over with your virtue. What happened this time?"
A friendly teasing voice followed, accompanied by the affection of an elder.
Hou Yunjiao sat by the bed and picked up the tablet he had thrown onto it before washing up.
He unlocked it and checked the latest company documents displayed on the screen.
Hou Yunjiao's fingertips glided over the documents, his eyes scanning the words on the screen, grasping the content effortlessly.
His voice was clear and cold, "My wife is young and naive. She had a little disagreement with Ah Chang."
As you know, she's also pregnant, and her temper is usually quite explosive. Even if it's towards me, she would resort to physical violence or verbal abuse. Her temper is as fiery as a child's.
Tonight, she caused trouble and injured Ah Chang. Everyone is terrified now, and she was just crying to me.
The young girl panicked afterward. I just received a call from home, saying that she fainted from crying."
