Chapter 583: Third Young Madam's Words, Jing Shu Will Always Remember
Hou Yirong's handsome face showed a cold and disdainful smile, exuding a domineering and arrogant aura.
Su Jingshu's deep gaze stared at him intently.
She spoke in a low voice, "Second Young Master, all the past grievances and wrongs were my fault. There's no need to involve others. Although the Su family has made mistakes over the years, we've generally kept a low profile. I don't understand the meaning behind your words just now?"
Hou Yirong's expression seemed lazy, and his voice was teasing, "I didn't mean anything. I just felt a bit idle lately and wanted to find something to pass the time."
Upon hearing this, Su Jingshu couldn't contain her anger, and her exquisite makeup on her face couldn't hide her emotions anymore.
In her heart, she spat out at Hou Yirong.
This guy was just talking nonsense.
During this period, Hou's actions against the Nangong family had caused significant impacts across the entire capital.
The aftermath of the A-level operation initiated by the Nangong family was being personally handled by Hou Yirong. He was extremely busy every day, even letting go of the business of the HEA Group.
Recently, a certain noble from abroad wanted to see Hou Yirong, but because they couldn't find him, the deal was postponed.
Any force that was interested in the Hou family's movements knew about this.
Now Hou Yirong was saying that he was too idle? Who would believe that!
Su Jingshu took a deep breath, trying to maintain a calm tone, and asked, "Second Young Master, please be straightforward."
She wanted to know what this unpredictable man was planning to do.
He spared her last night, so why did he come to make things difficult for her today?
Could it be that he changed his mind?
Hou Yirong leaned back lazily, tilting his body in Qin Ruan's direction.
He spoke with a seemingly casual tone, but there was a hint of seriousness, "Miss Su, I know your abilities very well. You're ruthless and cunning, and you won't hesitate to do anything for your own benefit, even if it means killing and deceiving."
Su Jingshu listened in silence, not refuting his words.
Hou Yirong stared at her calm expression and his tone turned serious, "Over the years, you must have understood where the Hou family's bottom line lies. Su Jingshu, if you have any intentions that you shouldn't have, or if you touch people you shouldn't, I guarantee that the fate of the Su family will be even worse than that of the Nangong family."
His last sentence was filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent.
Su Jingshu's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Hou Yirong.
She looked at how Hou Yirong occasionally glanced at Qin Ruan while speaking and instantly understood everything.
So that's it! This man thought that she wanted to harm Qin Ruan or the child belonging to Third Young Master Hou in her belly.
A bitter expression appeared on Su Jingshu's face, and her tense body relaxed.
She thought to herself, this man is just spouting nonsense.
During these ten years, she had paved the way to finally get Nangong Chang.
He was well aware of many of the details of her methods.
A refined lady like Su Jingshu was not Nangong Chang's type at all.
To cater to him, she had sacrificed a lot.
This woman was ruthless, and there was nothing she couldn't do.
After last night, Hou Yirong had been angry, but he also reflected on himself.
He couldn't reveal the truth from ten years ago and cause trouble for his third brother and sister-in-law.
Once Su Jingshu targeted his third brother, with her despicable means, things would truly get messy.
Potential dangers should be eliminated while they were still in their infancy.
Seeing that both of them remained silent, Qin Ruan finally raised her head.
After observing the tense confrontation between the two, she vaguely understood something.
Hou Yirong was afraid that Su Jingshu would harm her and was threatening and warning her.
Today, Su Jingshu was acting differently from before and had lost her high and mighty demeanor she had when they first met at the Hou residence.
Qin Ruan looked at Hou Yirong and Su Jingshu, her eyes wandering between the two.
Her cool and pleasant voice sounded, "Since we've had tea, can we go see Nangong Chang now?"
She didn't know whom she was asking.
Su Jingshu regained her senses and immediately instructed, "Bei Jinzhou, you take them upstairs."
"Understood, Miss—"
Bei Jinzhou took a step forward and extended his hand to Hou Yirong and Qin Ruan, "Second Young Master, Third Young Madam, please follow me."
Hou Yirong got up and went to support Qin Ruan as she stood up.
Her belly had grown larger day by day, and she looked like she was about to give birth.
He had been with her almost every moment today, supporting her as they went upstairs.
Su Jingshu remained seated on the sofa and didn't get up to follow them.
She watched Hou Yirong and Qin Ruan's backs, a restrained shimmer in her eyes.
Those tears fell one by one on her lotus-colored dress.
Seeing this, the surrounding servants retreated one after another.
This scene was not something they should witness.
...
Upstairs.
Hou Yirong and Qin Ruan were led by Bei Jinzhou into the room where Nangong Chang was.
The room was quite well-furnished, and there were advanced medical devices by Nangong Chang's bedside.
From this, one could tell that Su Jingshu still had feelings for Nangong Chang.
Hou Yirong noticed the scene inside the room, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He had no idea that all this had been prepared by Bei Jinzhou.
Bei Jinzhou knew about Su Jingshu's feelings for Nangong Chang, so he had instructed his subordinates to pay extra attention when they brought him back last night.
Qin Ruan approached the bedside and looked at the bedridden Nangong Chang.
He had his eyes closed, probably sensing someone entering the room, he slowly opened his eyes.
Locked-in syndrome was a clinical syndrome caused by a lesion in the base of the brainstem.
Nangong Chang couldn't speak spontaneously and could only express his thoughts through blinking and eye movements.
He was completely paralyzed, but his comprehension and skin sensation were still intact.
This locked-in syndrome was a severe and life-threatening syndrome, with a long course and difficult to cure.
Nangong Chang could now be said to be waiting for death.
Qin Ruan stood by the bedside, looking at Nangong Chang with a longing for life in her eyes, feeling so pitiful.
This man could no longer be arrogant; he was now nothing but a pitiful creature.
Qin Ruan lowered her head, leaned closer to Nangong Chang, and looked into his trembling eyes.
"Nangong Chang, I'm going to ask you a few questions. Blink your eyes if the answer is correct, and don't do anything if it's wrong. Do you understand?"
Nangong Chang blinked his eyes.
"Very well."
Qin Ruan was quite satisfied.
She asked, "Before you fell ill, did you see any unnatural events, such as evil spirits?"
Nangong Chang blinked his eyes rapidly.
A look of fear appeared in his eyes, as if recalling some terrifying memories.
Qin Ruan nodded, "Is your illness caused by someone else?"
Nangong Chang blinked his eyes again, and his gaze was fixed on Qin Ruan.
His eyes were complicated, with a hint of expectation, as if he saw Qin Ruan as a savior.
Qin Ruan pursed her lips and asked again, "Do you know the appearance of the one responsible for your illness?"
Nangong Chang blinked his eyes again.
Hou Yirong stood on the side, arms crossed, leaning against the wall in a lazy posture.
Bei Jinzhou, on the other hand, was startled by Qin Ruan's series of strange questions.
He didn't understand what she was doing.
Why were the questions she asked so bizarre and made people suspect her sanity?
However, he did understand the last few words she said.
The death of the Nangong family's head and Nangong Chang's current condition were all manipulated by someone.
Hou Yirong and Qin Ruan's arrival today was to investigate these matters.
After the three of them came downstairs, Su Jingshu's tears had disappeared from her face.
She even found time to touch up her makeup, and her complexion had improved significantly.
When she saw the three of them coming downstairs, Su Jingshu stood up to greet them.
"Have you seen him?"
She was asking Bei Jinzhou.
The latter nodded and was about to say something, but when he saw Hou Yirong and Qin Ruan standing in front of him, he closed his mouth.
Seeing him hesitate to speak, Su Jingshu looked up at Hou Yirong.
The latter gazed at her with a deep smile, "Impressive."
His tone made it difficult to tell whether it was praise or sarcasm.
Su Jingshu's expression remained calm, "Second Young Master, I have already instructed the servants to prepare for Nangong Chang's funeral. He will forever close his eyes in the Su family."
This was her way of showing loyalty to the Hou family.
Hou Yirong's gaze deepened with a hint of smile, "Vicious enough."
He said, not knowing whether it was praise or mocking.
The outcome of Nangong Chang was not unexpected to him.
Su Jingshu's face showed a gentle and calm smile, "This is what I should do. After all, people must pay for the mistakes they make."
"Hmph!" Hou Yirong sneered.
He had seen how casually Su Jingshu spoke about killing Nangong Chang. Many men felt inferior in front of her.
For the past ten years, she had laid the groundwork to finally win over Nangong Chang.
He knew many of the hidden details about her.
A lady like Su Jingshu was not Nangong Chang's type at all.
In order to cater to him, she had sacrificed a lot.
This woman was ruthless, and there was nothing she couldn't do.
After last night, Hou Yirong was angry, but he also self-reflected.
He couldn't reveal the truth from ten years ago and cause trouble for his third brother and sister-in-law.
Once Su Jingshu targeted his third brother, with her despicable means, things would truly get messy.
Potential dangers should be eliminated while they were still in their infancy.
Seeing that both of them remained silent, Qin Ruan finally raised her head.
After observing the tense confrontation between the two, she vaguely understood something.
Hou Yirong was afraid that Su Jingshu would harm her and was threatening and warning her.
Today, Su Jingshu was acting differently from before and had lost her high and mighty demeanor she had when they first met at the Huo residence.
Qin Ruan looked at Hou Yirong and Su Jingshu, her eyes wandering between the two.
"Have you let go of him?"
As if she hadn't expected Qin Ruan to speak to her, Su Jingshu's expression slightly froze before nodding.
"Yes, I've let go. The Great Master of Nan Yin Temple once told me that one should not force a fate that is not meant to be. I understand that pursuing something that doesn't belong to you will only lead to disappointment, just as Third Young Lady once said that using any means to get something that doesn't belong to you will ultimately end in failure."
Su Jingshu's smile looked as if she had seen through the meaning of life.
She became gentle, giving off a faint halo of compassion.
Qin Ruan, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable seeing this.
She frowned and stared at Su Jingshu for a few moments before retracting her gaze.
Qin Ruan's tone was indifferent, "It's good to let go, but I hope your remaining blessings will withstand the consumption."
Her words seemed like advice, yet they carried a hidden warning.
Su Jingshu's soft smile remained as she replied sincerely, "Third Young Madam words, I will remember them well."
Her attitude was genuine, and her tone was extremely serious.
