▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Qin Ruan lowered her eyes, recalling the scene when Xiao Yujie left.
He had come with an injured left leg, but when he left, it had become his right leg.
A sarcastic smile curled up at the corner of her lips as she looked up at Rong Menglan standing outside the car.
"So, what you mean is that even if Qiao Xi really comes tonight, Xiao Yujie won't lay a finger on him?"
There was no concealment in her sarcastic words, and it was difficult for Rong Menglan to pretend not to hear.
He nodded with a pained expression on his face, "He just wanted to scare Young Master Qiao."
Although these words sounded unbelievable, they were true.
Qin Ruan's delicate face lit up with a smile, and a cold gleam flashed in her eyes. "Do you take me for a three-year-old child?"
Rong Menglan furrowed his brows; he just didn't want Qin Ruan to hold a grudge against Xiao Yujie today.
After all, some things could only be seen on the surface. There was a hidden story behind the grievances between Xiao Yu Jie and Qiao Xi.
Now that both Second Young Master Hou and Third Young Master Hou were not in the capital, if Qin Ruan targeted the Xiao family at this time, the Xiao family would be put in a very passive situation.
From Qin Ruan's intervention tonight because of Qiao Xi's matter, Rong Menglan had already seen it.
Qin Ruan had already started to step into the core of the Hou family.
The dark guards of the Hou family could only be controlled by the legitimate line.
Those who didn't understand the deeper meaning had previously said that Qin Ruan would be driven out of the Hou family, but that was simply impossible.
Being recognized by the Hou family and even having the family's trump cards handed over to her, it could only be said that her current identity was truly different from before.
She had been completely accepted by the Hou family, and without any surprises, Qin Ruan would become the future mistress of the Hou family.
Being the mistress of the Hou family was an enviable position for all women.
The power she would control in the future would surpass even imperial authority.
Rong Menglan pursed his lips and said softly to Qin Ruan, "Madam Hou, Yujie's leg is not that serious. He doesn't have an irreconcilable feud with Young Master Qiao."
"Tonight's arrangement is merely a matter of face. He won't lay a finger on Qiao Xi. If he really intended to do such a thing, he wouldn't have invited me here."
Rong Menglan knew Qin Ruan's background. This woman was infamous for her cruelty in the Western City, and she liked to deal with enemies using simple and brutal methods.
Qin Ruan lowered her gaze, pinching her slightly cool fingertips, and slowly said, "I know that Xiao Yujie's limp is fake. When he arrived, it was his left leg that was injured, but when he left, it became his right leg. I'm not blind, am I?"
Rong Menglan looked stunned; he hadn't noticed that.
Tonight, his gaze had been focused on Qin Ruan all along.
This woman had not only an outstanding appearance but also an alluring temperament.
She gave off an aura that was both righteous and wicked, making it impossible for him to see through her.
After hearing Qin Ruan's words, Rong Menglan made a new discovery about her.
This woman was meticulous in her thinking. She seemed young and immature, but she was actually very mature.
The last trace of worry in Rong Menglan's heart also dissipated, and he relaxed his expression.
"Madam Hou, you have sharp eyes."
Qin Ruan sneered, "Alright, you may leave now. As long as Xiao Yujie doesn't harm Qiao Xi, it has nothing to do with me what he does."
A sincere smile appeared on Rong Menglan's face, "I thank Madam Hou on behalf of Yujie."
Qin Ruan waved her hand at him, not responding.
At this moment, Rong Jing also finally realized that something was wrong.
As the direct line of the Rong family and the most esteemed representative favored by the elders, his cousin's attitude before Qin Ruan was unexpectedly low and submissive.
Rong Jing began to search for certain memories in his mind, speculating if he had overlooked something.
He looked at Qin Ruan and his cousin, feeling that there was something subtle between them no matter how he looked at it.
After bidding farewell to Qin Ruan, Rong Menglan pulled the pensive Rong Jing away.
The two brothers hurriedly walked, heading straight for the parking lot.
The dark guard standing outside the car gently closed the door for Qin Ruan as the Rong family members left.
In the parking lot...
Rong Menglan walked to the front of the car and just as he was about to open the door, Rong Jing suddenly spoke, "Cousin, what exactly is Qin Ruan's identity?"
"You know her and yet you don't know her identity?"
Rong Menglan's tone was cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.
He got into the car, his face turning cold.
Just as the car started, Rong Jing quickly opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
The car started, and Rong Menglan wasn't in a hurry to leave.
He glanced sideways, his gaze brushing over Rong Jing's bewildered face.
In a deep voice, Rong Menglan asked him, "The guardian spirit of the Rong family, was it discovered by Qin Ruan?"
Rong Jing nodded, "Yes, last time when Father was almost manipulated by someone... Qin Ruan appeared to help us resolve the trouble. Without the guardian spirit protecting Father, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to hold on until Qin Ruan arrived. Cousin, what exactly is Qin Ruan's identity?"
Rong Menglan patted Rong Jing's head and told him Qin Ruan's identity, "Qin Ruan is currently a member of the foremost noble family in the capital, the Hou family. She is the wife of Third Young Master Hou. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be the mistress of the Hou family in the future."
"... " Rong Jing was dumbfounded.
His eyes widened, his mouth opened and closed, but no words came out.
Shocked, disbelieving, and various complex expressions were visible in Rong Jing's eyes. Rong Menglan chuckled lightly, "How did you get to know Madame Hou?"
Rong Jing recalled all the messy disputes he had with Qin Ruan, and subconsciously licked his lips.
He told his cousin about the incident with the exposure of the indecent photos and videos, the incident where he was almost tricked by Han Kexin, and the matter of being invited to the Hou residence by Second Young Master Hou. He told him everything.
As Rong Menglan listened, his expression became increasingly strange.
When he stared at Rong Jing, it was as if he was seeing his cousin for the first time.
It had to be said that Rong Menglan had gained a deeper understanding of this cousin of his.
Almost touching Third Young Master Hou's wife, being invited to the Hou residence, and even establishing a good relationship with Third Young Master Hou's wife without any reason.
Could it be... a good relationship?
Otherwise, why would someone without any connection come forward to help Rong Jing and his father?
