Chapter 654: I Have a Bad Temper and Never Repay Kindness with Resentment
Qin Ruan sneered lightly, twirling the empty glass in her hand, looking utterly bored.
Her slender fingertips slowly parted, and the glass fell.
"Snap!"
The crisp sound of the glass hitting the ground rang out.
Qin Ruan lowered her gaze, staring at the shattered glass on the ground, a satisfied curve forming on her lips.
She murmured softly, "Why indeed?"
It sounded like she was asking herself, but also the girl in front of her.
Then she burst into laughter, the mockery in her laughter unabashed.
Lifting her gaze, Qin Ruan's icy, chilling eyes fixed on the girl before her, her voice slowly exposing the girl's facade.
"Don't bother playing these petty tricks of sowing discord in front of me. If you think you're clever, you need a few more years of practice. Do you truly believe you're a genius while everyone else is a fool?"
The girl looked surprised, catching the glances from the people around, she lowered her gaze and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't provoked you. I don't understand why you're doing this. Maybe there's a misunderstanding between us. Even if you're from the Hou family, you shouldn't be randomly attacking people."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke, one drop after another falling to the ground.
This sense of injustice, thinking she was explaining for Qin Ruan but actually further undermining her, was truly an eye-opener.
Qin Ruan's refined eyebrows lifted slightly, and she turned to Lin Hao and Hou Qiang standing beside her, asking, "Have either of you smelled anything?"
Both of them blinked, wearing puzzled expressions, unsure how to respond.
Qin Ruan tapped her nose lightly and chuckled, "There's a nauseating odor of decayed white lotus in the air. Haven't you noticed?"
"Ha!" Lin Hao couldn't hold back a chuckle.
Quickly suppressing it, he coughed to cover up: "Cough, cough..."
Even Hou Qiang's eyes widened after hearing Qin Ruan's words. His ordinary facial features seemed to hide an intimidating fierceness due to his restrained nature.
On the ground, Weiwei looked confused, her eyes darting between Qin Ruan and her good sister. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and glared at her good sister, her voice sharp, "Are you playing me?!"
She remembered their conversation in the VIP room earlier about the Third Young Master Hou and the woman he married, who came from a humble background. They moved to the balcony because of the crowd inside, and her good sister intentionally led the conversation astray, guiding her.
It turned out that she had been manipulated by the person beside her.
Weiwei was furious, her body trembling, and this time, even Lin Hao who was holding her back.
She struggled to break free from Lin Hao's restraint and rushed in front of her good sister, grabbing her clothes and starting a fight, "I treated you as my good sister, and you're plotting against me?!"
"Stay calm, Weiwei, I didn't do it, I really didn't. Don't believe others' instigation; we are the best of friends," her good sister pleaded.
"Nonsense! You deceitful woman! I'm going to tear you apart!!" Weiwei was so angry that Lin Hao couldn't hold her back anymore.
Qin Ruan, witnessing the scene, showed no signs of anger. Instead, she seemed amused, watching the fight between the two plastic sisters.
"Junior sister!" Lu Yichen squeezed through the crowd, concerned about Qin Ruan's well-being.
Seeing Qin Ruan standing beside the fighting women, he hurriedly approached her.
"You're okay, right? What's happening here?" he asked, trying to protect her from the chaotic situation.
Qin Ruan's cold and indifferent gaze swept over the crowd as she responded with sarcasm, "If any of you dislike me, feel free to come and show off your skills to my face. We can settle our differences directly. That way, I can admire you for being someone with courage. But if you choose to talk behind my back, use those lowly means that even commoners in the West City despise, don't blame me for not giving you face."
The unfriendly glances from the onlookers wavered slightly, and some of the tension in the atmosphere dissipated.
"Mrs. Hou's words make sense," said a tall figure, stepping forward through the crowd.
He had a magnetic voice like a bass and was very attractive.
His facial features were handsome and deep, exuding an aura of seriousness like that of an old cadre.
Qin Ruan's gaze flashed with understanding as she looked at him. He was none other than Fu Yinyu, Fu Guyuan's eldest son.
He approached Qin Ruan, extending a large hand towards her. "Madam Huo, I've heard about you. I am Fu Yinyu."
Qin Ruan shook his hand with a casual smile, "Young Master Fu, I've also heard about you."
Fu Yinyu's face remained composed as he looked at Qin Ruan's exquisite appearance, and a hint of darkness appeared in his eyes.
After letting go of Qin Ruan's hand, he expressed regret, "I apologize for any inconvenience caused by tonight's incident. The Fu family will offer an explanation."
Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow, wearing a mocking expression. "How will you explain?"
If it were in the past, she wouldn't have asked this question directly, and would have simply exchanged some polite pleasantries. But tonight, her temper had gotten the better of her, and she wasn't going to be difficult with herself anymore.
Being free and unrestrained is quite enjoyable sometimes.
Fu Yinyu's composed demeanor remained unchanged, and he pointed to the two women who were still fighting not far away. "Take these two young ladies out. From now on, the Fu family will never welcome them to any events."
"Yes, Young Master."
Two bodyguards walked forward and separated the two women who were still in the middle of their fight.
Fu Yinyu stood in front of Qin Ruan, blocking the onlookers' gazes with his tall figure.
He slightly bent his body, appearing humble, and said apologetically, "I apologize for any inconvenience caused to everyone. Later, the Fu family will personally visit to express our apologies for the unforeseen incident tonight, and everyone can continue to enjoy the party."
Fu Yinyu was the most influential person in the Fu family, second only to the family head. In the southern region, he was already in charge of most affairs. Everyone was well aware of his status, so the onlookers dispersed.
Only a few familiar people remained, including Long Xinzhe, Rong Jing, Gu Qingqing, and others.
Long Xinzhe was from the Long family and addressed Qin Ruan as "Third Sister-in-law."
Rong Jing was Rong Jing, the seventh young master of the Rong family. He came to the event with his cousin Rong Menglan.
Gu Qingqing was from the Gu family, one of the four major families. She admired Third Young Master Hou and was also a student at Shengshi Academy. Her relationship with Long Xinzhe and Lu Yichen was quite good.
Rong Jing was the lowest-ranking person among them.
He looked around, left and right, seeing no one coming forward.
Fu Yinyu was still chatting with Qin Ruan, and Rong Jing, feeling somewhat anxious, walked over hesitantly.
"Qin Ruan."
Qin Ruan turned her head and saw Rong Jing, who was wearing a suit and looking decent, despite his usual careless and indifferent appearance.
Seeing that Rong Jing was about to address her, he hesitated, pulling at his tie uncomfortably, "I came with my cousin today, and he said he wanted to broaden my horizons."
