Chapter 643: Third Young Master Disdained by Qin Ruan, Too Fragile
Sensing the boss's bad mood, Liu Liu obediently went to fetch the notebook and pen from the table. Although he couldn't see the ghosts, he could still feel their presence. A chilling aura filled the left side of the table, indicating the presence of the ghosts.
Liu Liu placed the notebook and pen on the table and quickly returned to stand by Wei Linchen's side. Qin Ruan's cold gaze fell on the notebook and pen, and she nodded to Cheng Xuelan, indicating for her to write down the names of the people she knew had issues related to the wishing tree's entanglement.
Qin Ruan walked to the window and made a call to Qiao Nanyuan. After exchanging a few words, she requested his help in finding two people.
Meanwhile, Wei Linchen was still probing Lin Hao about his Yin-Yang Eyes condition, unwilling to give up on the idea of taking him to Qingcheng Taoist Temple.
...
At the Xiangxi Manor,
The warm evening light bathed the residential area of the manor, casting an orange hue through the glass windows, gently illuminating the clean floor.
Hou Qiang walked into the glass room and approached a man reclining lazily on a redwood lounge chair.
Hou Qiang stood behind him and slightly bowed, showing respect. "Third Young Master, the Fu family sent an invitation card, inviting you to attend their banquet tomorrow."
Hou Yunjiao, with his eyes closed, subtly moved his long eyelashes upon hearing the voice. He didn't open his eyes and spoke indifferently, "Give it to her when she comes back."
The manor was in a secluded location, and Hou Yunjiao rarely left the premises due to his health condition. He wouldn't be able to attend the banquet.
Hou Qiang held the invitation card, hesitated for a moment, and said, "We still don't know the movements of the Fu family. Should we send more people to accompany her tomorrow?"
Hou Yunjiao raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of amusement in his cold and handsome face. "Ask her opinion."
Hou Qiang worriedly mentioned that Su Jingshu had been trying to meet Third Young Master, but she was turned away twice. Today, she mentioned again that she wanted to see him.
Hou Yunjiao's brows slightly furrowed, and his voice turned cool, "You're worried that Su Jingshu might pose a threat to her?"
Hou Qiang replied cautiously, "Your concern is unnecessary. Tomorrow's the key event for the Fu family entering the capital. Su Jingshu won't cause trouble for her. After the downfall of the Nangong family, the various factions in the capital will remain calm for a while."
Hou Qiang secretly wanted to say that Su Jingshu was an unpredictable woman, and if she didn't follow the usual rules, it might be troublesome for Madam. However, seeing the confident and calm expression on Third Young Master's face, he refrained from saying anything.
The two continued to stand in the sunroom, basking in the warm evening light.
Soon, several cars slowly drove into the courtyard.
Lin Hao opened the car door, and Qin Ruan got out, still holding her handbag. Before she could stabilize her footing, she saw Hou Yunjiao standing at the entrance, smiling at her.
Frowning, Qin Ruan hurriedly walked up the steps and stood in front of Hou Yunjiao.
She pushed him inside and closed the door behind them. "Why are you standing at the door and catching a cold? What if you get sick?"
Qin Ruan was most afraid of Hou Yunjiao's already weak body getting worse due to illness.
Hou Yunjiao rubbed her hair and spoke with a hint of helplessness, "Ruan Ruan, I'm not that fragile yet."
Qin Ruan looked him up and down, her beautiful eyes assessing him. She put her handbag on the nearby shelf and nodded to herself, "You're not that fragile, but you're weak and prone to illness. You might get sick just from a gust of wind."
