Chapter 655: A Dialogue Between Clever People, a Battle of High Intelligence
Qin Ruan had met with Rong Jing, the cousin of Rong Jing, before.
He had a pair of affectionate eyes and looked serious, exuding a gentle demeanor.
She examined Rong Jing, nodding slightly. "Not bad, you look... decent and quite mature."
Rong Jing raised an eyebrow, letting out a hint of playful arrogance beneath his mature facade. "Right, I feel like this outfit gives me an elite vibe."
But in just a few words, Rong Jing exposed his true nature.
Fu Yinyu's gaze fell on Rong Jing as he asked, "Who is this?"
Rong Jing waved his hand, wearing a smile on his face. "Just an insignificant person, not worthy of comparison to the distinguished identity of Young Master Fu."
Qin Ruan chuckled, introducing him, "He is Rong Jing, the seventh son of the Rong family."
Although Rong Jing came from a side branch of the Rong family, he was already listed in the main family genealogy. The specific reason was not clear, but it definitely wasn't about wealth.
Fu Yinyu showed a knowing expression, politely extending his hand to Rong Jing. "Young Master Rong."
Rong Jing faced Fu Yinyu, shaking hands with him. "No need for formalities, I'm just a lay about."
Rong Jing knew his position very well, understanding that despite being listed as the seventh son of the main family, he had never really contributed anything to the Rong family.
Fu Yinyu's eyes carried a faint smile. "Young Master Rong is quite humorous."
Before coming to the capital, he had gathered information about the four major families and the other five aristocratic families. Rong Jing's situation was not completely unknown to him.
Qin Ruan noticed a strong gaze locked on her when she turned her head. She found Su Jingshu's eyes fixed on her.
Su Jingshu didn't show any embarrassment at being caught, offering a friendly smile in response.
Qin Ruan thought of Su Jingshu's previous advice and approached her. "Miss Su, did you enjoy the show?"
Su Jingshu's eyes flickered with surprise. "Is Madam Hou always so quick-witted? It's no wonder Third Young Master dotes on you."
A dialogue between clever people always involved subtle hints, with words having double meanings.
Some things were understood by both parties without being explicitly stated.
Qin Ruan softly brushed back her hair, appearing gentle and lazy. "I can't help it. Who told me to be so gentle and obedient, winning his affection?"
The words sent shivers down her spine, but if it made Su Jingshu unhappy, Qin Ruan felt it was worth it.
Su Jingshu's lips twitched, her gaze complex as she stared at Qin Ruan's figure.
After a while, she finally spoke, "I hope you can always be so gentle."
Qin Ruan smiled softly. "Naturally."
"I'll leave first."
Su Jingshu quickly walked away, afraid of being angered by Qin Ruan.
Not long after Su Jingshu left, Fu Yinyu also leave.
Leaving only Lu Yichen, Rong Jing, Long Xinzhe, and Gu Qingqing behind.
Qin Ruan didn't want to interact with these young members of various families for now. She had spent enough time at the banquet and decided to leave.
She walked over to Lu Yichen's side. "Senior, where did Second Young Master go?"
"He went to the banquet hall to talk to the Fu family head."
Thinking of the topic they were discussing, Lu Yichen felt resistant.
Qin Ruan nodded, her expression not looking good amidst the crowded hall. She nodded at Lu Yichen.
"I'll go outside and wait. It's too noisy in here."
"Okay, I'll find Second Young Master as soon as possible."
Before Lu Yichen could finish speaking, he had already rushed into the crowd.
Qin Ruan left the banquet hall with Lin Hao and Hou Qiang, stepping outside.
Long Xinzhe and Rong Jing exchanged a glance, following them in silence.
