▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Standing at the entrance of the nightclub, Jiang Liu, supported by his subordinates, saw Qin Ruan walking out from inside.
He raised his hand slightly to signal his subordinates, and they dispersed in different directions.
Qin Ruan approached Jiang Liu Ye, her eyes scanning the surroundings. "Liu Ye, business seems to be slow tonight."
Jiang Liu Ye smiled gently. "We're closing the shop for tonight."
"Because of me? There's no need. I can leave now."
Qin Ruan knew that this nightclub was the most profitable business in the entire West City.
Countless people came and went from this nightclub, including the underground boxing arena and the casino.
Don't underestimate this small slum area. A lot of illicit money flows out from this establishment.
"Madam, you're exaggerating."
Jiang Liu Ye treated Qin Ruan with utmost respect, completely regarding her as a member of the Hou family.
Qin Ruan lowered her gaze and pulled her coat closer. She casually asked, "How did you believe that I was from the Hou family when I arrived earlier? I didn't tell you."
Earlier, they had staged a play in the room for Qiao Xi. It was based on their previous understanding.
Qin Ruan wanted to give Josh a warning, to let him know what it felt like to be humiliated when in a vulnerable position.
Surprisingly, Jiang Liu understood instantly and even cooperated with her in the act.
In fact, it all started in the room earlier.
When Jiang Liu learned of Qin Ruan's identity, during the brief time he touched his phone, he believed her.
Old acquaintances don't always need words; sometimes, just a glance is enough to understand each other.
This place, West City, has its own set of rules for survival.
They both understood each other's intentions in their words and actions.
Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes and pointed to a nearby parking lot.
Beside his own vehicle, there was a Rolls-Royce, which was quite valuable and displayed the emblem of the Hou family.
The Hou family's transportation fleet couldn't be replicated by just anyone.
The emblem on the Hou family's vehicles represented supreme glory and a pass to unimpeded travel throughout the capital city.
Jiang Liu sighed. "Although I haven't seen the master of the Hou family, whenever the Hou family contacts me, they send someone in a luxury car with the Hou family emblem."
"The car you and Lin Hao arrived in is one of the vehicles from the Hou family's transportation fleet."
"And then there's Lin Hao. The fact that he can stand in front of me alive can only mean that the Hou family saved him. This kid is lucky."
"Liu Ye has sharp eyes." Qin Ruan couldn't help but admire.
She didn't ask how Jiang Liu Ye spotted the car without coming downstairs.
Not to mention this nightclub, Jiang Liu had informants spread throughout the area for miles.
He knew everything that happened, no matter how small.
After all, he was the undisputed ruler of the West City, not just in name.
Jiang Liu looked at Qin Ruan with a hint of probing in his eyes. "May I ask which Master of the Hou family you married?"
As far as he knew, Master Huo Junxin of the Hou family was marrying into the Long family, the one currently in power.
The only unmarried members of the Hou family were the second young master and the legitimate heir, the third young master.
There were rumors that the third young master was physically weak and although he was the next successor of the Hou family, no one knew when he might leave this world.
As for the second young master, he was a ruthless character.
Qin Ruan took out her phone from her coat pocket.
The scar on her hand was clearly visible under the neon lights of the nightclub.
It must be said that Qin Ruan's hands were quite beautiful, with fair skin and slender fingers.
The latest model of the phone looked exquisite in her hand, pleasing to the eye.
Qin Ruan unlocked the phone screen and glanced at the time. She said calmly to Jiang Liu, "The third young master."
Jiang Liu Ye's eyes widened slightly. "It's actually the third young master!"
Being the wife of Third Young Master Hou carried significant meaning.
Putting aside how long Third Young Master Hou can live, as long as he is alive, Qin Ruan will be the mistress of the Hou family.
Jiang Liu's expression was shocked, and he became even more respectful to Qin Ruan. He said, "In the future, I shall address you as Third Madam Hou."
"As you wish," Qin Ruan put away her phone, and a shallow smile appeared in her eyes. She said, "Liu Ye, thank you for your hard work tonight."
"It's my duty," Jiang Lui waved his hand. "You should call me Old Liu. In the future, I will rely on Third Madam."
"You're being too polite. I still remember the favor you showed me three years ago in the Western City," Qin Ruan's voice was soft, with a hint of intoxication.
She spoke casually, but it sounded very pleasing to Jiang Liu's ears.
Jiang Liu didn't dare to look at her for too long and lowered his gaze respectfully. He said, "Third Madam, you're exaggerating. I dare not take credit for it. If I had known that you were not an ordinary person, I wouldn't have dared to disrespect you even a little. I wish to let bygones be bygones."
Qin Ruan's calm eyes swept over the onlookers who were being driven away by Jiang Liu's men in the distance.
Those obstructed people looked at her with curious eyes.
Qin Ruan turned her head, revealing a smile to Lord Jiang Six, and continued, "Liu Ye, your words are underestimating me. Back then, you were only interested in my youth and wanted to amuse yourself. If you had treated me like others, I wouldn't have come to see you today."
Jiang Liu expression slightly froze, then he chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Third Madam, you are magnanimous. I am convinced."
Qin Ruan smiled, "I'm stating a fact. You put too much pressure on yourself."
Jiang Liu was about to say something when Lin Hao stepped forward and said to Qin Ruan, "Madam, time is running out. We should leave."
Qin Ruan nodded and exchanged pleasantries with Lord Six, "Liu Ye, I didn't plan to disturb you today. I just didn't want Qiao Xi to be in trouble in the Western City without any explanation. You will have to take care of him."
Lord Jiang Six's lips curled up, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully him."
There was a hint of meaning in his words.
If he wouldn't let others bully Josh, it meant that his own people might not be spared.
Qin Ruan's expression softened, and a gentle light shone in her eyes. "I naturally trust you, Liu Ye."
"I'll take my leave now. Goodbye."
"Allow me to see you off."
Qin Ruan and Lin Hao walked towards the parking lot, with Liu Ye seeing them off from behind.
Jiang Liu watched Qin Ruan get into the car, and as the luxurious car with the Hou family emblem gradually disappeared from his sight, a sigh sounded in the empty air.
Who could have imagined that Qin Xiaowu, who had suffered so much bullying in the Western City, would step up and climb directly onto the high branch of the Hou family.
Such a stroke of luck, it would be hard to find even among millions.
In the Western City, Qin Xiaowu had skills but lacked opportunities.
It should be noted that the younger Qin Xiaowu in the Western City was not particularly intelligent. Otherwise, she would have used
her beauty as a weapon.
Looking at her now, it seemed she had been hiding her abilities.
No matter how much a person changes, they cannot completely transform.
Seeing Qin Ruan again, her inherent coldness and fierceness remained.
But there was more depth to her thoughts. Her words and actions were calm, gentle, and measured, exuding a tranquil temperament.
This temperament was something that time and experience had bestowed upon her.
Qin Ruan had only left the Western City for a year.
A little over a year wouldn't completely transform her from head to toe.
