▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Upon hearing these words, Qin Ruan tightly pursed her lips and looked out of the car window.
The neon lights on both sides of the road cast a melancholic glow on her face.
Qin Ruan, who had experienced a previous life, knew that there were many scandals and complexities behind prestigious families.
No illustrious family was without its dark secrets, hidden from the public eye.
Even the Qin family was no exception.
In her previous life, Qin Ruan's protective barrier towards her family had caused a rift, and she had paid a painful price for it.
Even Lin Hao had barely survived in the Su family.
If Su Wang, Li Zilan, and Shen Ran were truly brought out of the Western City, could they adapt to the intricacies and avoid being manipulated? Qin Ruan couldn't guarantee it.
The dirty thoughts and methods within the noble families were beyond the surface-level struggles seen in the Western City.
If the youngsters raised in the Western City were wolves, bloodthirsty and dangerous, preferring to determine victory through forceful collisions, then those within the major clans and prestigious families were wolves disguised in human skin. They appeared harmless but possessed a more restrained aura.
They excelled in invisible murder, achieving their goals without shedding blood.
Qin Ruan couldn't guarantee that if she brought Su Wang, Li Zilan, and Shen Ran out, she could ensure their lifelong safety.
She couldn't even guarantee her own safety at the moment.
With less than a year to live, carrying two children in her womb and a Third Young Master weakened by evil energy, Qin Ruan knew it was not an exaggeration to say that she was unable to protect anyone.
After listening to Lin Hao's difficult life experiences, Qin Ruan temporarily set aside the thought of taking her friends away from the Western City.
She wasn't strong enough yet.
When there is no absolute certainty in a matter, one must never act rashly.
...
Night Aristocrat Club, Room 408.
Under the watchful eyes of the Huo family's hidden guards, Liu Jisheng and the others drank until they were completely intoxicated.
If there was one person in the room who remained somewhat sober, it was Liu Jisheng.
After Qin Ruan and Lin Hao went upstairs, only Liu Jisheng remained sitting on the sofa with a vacant expression, while the others were slumped in various positions.
Some even held empty bottles and drooled on the floor.
The room was filled with the strong scent of alcohol, and Qin Ruan covered her mouth and nose, her face revealing a look of disgust.
She asked in a low voice, "How did they end up like this?"
One of the Hou family's guards stepped forward, his expression filled with helplessness. "At first, they were reluctant to drink, but once they got drunk, they started forcing each other to drink. We couldn't stop them."
"Drink! Whoever... whoever doesn't drink is a bastard!"
Suddenly, the person lying on the floor, clutching a bottle, shouted.
He raised the empty bottle high in the air, muttering to himself.
"I want women! The most beautiful ones, with a prominent front and curvy back!"
One of the drunks on the sofa responded.
Although his eyes remained tightly shut, his speech was clear, indicating his deep desire for women.
Qin Ruan's lips twitched when she saw this.
She had only intended to scare these people a little, teach them a lesson, as she still planned to take them to the Zhenpin Pavilion for a confrontation.
But these guys had managed to get themselves drunk. One couldn't help but admire their skill.
Qin Ruan coldly glanced at the only person in the room who was still relatively sober, Liu Jisheng.
Liu Jisheng stared blankly, his expression dazed, as he gazed back at Qin Ruan.
His fair and handsome face was flushed, a sign that he hadn't held back on drinking either.
Qin Ruan took a few steps forward and asked, "Liu Jisheng, can you still stand?"
"...Yes."
Liu Jisheng's reaction is very slow.
He stood up unsteadily and walked towards Qin Ruan with unstable steps.
"It seems like you haven't had too much to drink. Let's go to Zhenpin Pavilion."
Qin Ruan stepped aside and let Liu Jisheng go first.
The words "Zhenpin Pavilion" seemed to trigger something in Liu Jisheng. He stood still in his place.
He kept shaking his head and murmuring, "Can't go to Zhenpin Hall, can't go..."
Qin Ruan narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked, "Why can't we go to Zhenpin Hall?"
Liu Jisheng raised his hand and forcefully knocked on his head, his expression showing some pain.
He kept repeating, "Can't go, can't go there, something bad will happen, bad things..."
Qin Ruan didn't press him further. She instructed the nearby bodyguard, "Support him and let's go to Zhenpin Hall."
"Yes, madam—"
A bodyguard from the Hou family stepped forward and supported Liu Jisheng as they walked towards the private room door.
Just as they were about to leave, they bumped into Manager Wang who was approaching.
"Oh my goodness! Why haven't you left yet?!"
As soon as Manager Wang saw Qin Ruan, he became flustered.
Qin Ruan keenly observed and knew that Manager Wang wasn't here for her.
He was rushing forward but slowed down upon seeing her, and his surprised expression was evident.
A faint smile formed on Qin Ruan's lips. "Did Manager Wang know that I was leaving and came to see me off?"
Manager Wang glanced at the rooms further inside, where important guests were located. Realizing something, he felt a tremor in his heart and quickly nodded at Qin Ruan.
Manager Wang approached with great enthusiasm and smiled brightly at Qin Ruan, "Madam Hou, let me accompany you downstairs."
Paying no attention to his previous actions, Qin Ruan calmly walked away with steady steps.
Unfortunately, things never go smoothly.
They had only taken a few steps when someone behind them spoke up.
"Isn't that Manager Wang? Why did he leave even before entering?"
A sudden coquettish female voice rang out.
Qin Ruan inexplicably felt familiar and slowly turned around.
Leaning against the door frame of the room, with narrowed eyes and a mischievous smile on her lips, was the woman who had shouted at her before in the Hou family and was now married to Nangong Chang —Xiao Wenrou.
Whether it was Qin Ruan's illusion or not, Xiao Wenrou seemed to have lost her innocent demeanor, looking somewhat fierce and emitting a familiar sense of aggression.
Liu Jisheng also saw Xiao Wenrou. He was about to say something when he felt something familiar pressing against his waist.
He knew it was a gun.
"Put away your tricks!"
The cold voice of the Hou family bodyguard echoed in Liu Jisheng's ear.
The hope on Liu Jisheng's face shattered, and he stared straight at Xiao Wenrou, hoping she would look at him.
Upon seeing Qin Ruan's face, Xiao Wenrou also looked stunned.
She hadn't expected the person being received by Manager Wang to be Mrs. Hou, the wife of the Third Young Master of the Huo family.
Thinking of something, Xiao Wenrou quickly changed her expression.
She stared at Qin Ruan with hostility, like a main wife looking at a mistress, wearing a look of grievances as if her husband had been stolen.
"So, you're Third Madam Huo, the third young master's wife. Just as the third master left, you came to Night club to find a man. How could you do something that betrays the third master?"
"Hou family has a daughter-in-law like you, truly losing face. It seems that not only is your background humble, but you also have a fickle nature!"
"... " Qin Ruan was dumbfounded.
Xiao Wenrou not only changed her face quickly, but she also had quite the skill for smearing others.
Qin Ruan curled her lips and sneered, looking disdainful as she sarcastically said, "Madam Nangong, when you speak about me, you should first restrain yourself. Look at what you're wearing; you don't look like a well-bred lady at all. Those who don't know might think you're just a night club little sister."
Xiao Wenrou became furious and exclaimed in frustration, "Qin Ruan! Watch your mouth!"
She glared fiercely at Qin Ruan, hating that she couldn't scratch her face.
