215: Chapter 215: The Old Man Advances to an Old Fox 215: Chapter 215: The Old Man Advances to an Old Fox Qin Ruan knew perfectly well that her brother must have been secretly watching over her.
She was not angry that he ddled in her affairs; she only blad herself in her past life for not noticing anything.
The siblings stood at the door talking when soone ca up the stairs; it was a servant from the Huo Family.
The servant quickly approached and respectfully bowed to Qin Ruan.
“Young Madam, you have a visitor, a classmate of yours.
Third Master asked to co and ask if you’d like to see them?”
The servant’s manners and deanor were impeccable, as if asured by a ruler, with no room for criticism.
“Wait a mont, I’ll wash my face and change my clothes,” Qin Ruan decided to et the visitor first.
She had to admit, she was finding it hard to rember what Lu Yichen looked like.
The servant nodded and turned to go downstairs.
Qin Ruan turned and entered the room, pushing Qin i, who had wanted to follow her into the room, out the door.
“I’m going to take a shower; return to wherever you ca from.”
With those words, she firmly shut the door.
Qin i stood outside the door, touching the tip of his nose.
He had co from downstairs, but he didn’t really want to go back down, there was an old fox downstairs.
The old fox who had led his sister astray, Third Master Huo.
“Then I’ll go downstairs first to wait for you,” he shouted into the room before turning to head downstairs.
Regardless of his reluctance to keep company with Third Master Huo, he had to go downstairs and face him.
He had no choice, he temporarily needed the old fox to escort him ho.
Last night, after his father and older brother returned ho from work, they found that neither he nor his sister were ho, so they directly called him.
Upon discovering that both siblings had been whisked away to the Huo Family, his scholarly older brother berated him fiercely.
His father was even more direct, informing him that family discipline was beckoning him and was ready to welco him at any ti.
The timid Second Young Master Qin was afraid of a beating and his seemingly gentle but actually ruthless brother.
Eventually, Qin i used Third Master Huo as a shield.
He claid that Third Master Huo was tough and for his sister’s protection, he had no choice but to comply.
Although their father and older brother’s anger subsided, they made it clear that they would personally verify this with Third Master Huo.
“…” Qin i.
At that mont he was speechless.
For this reason, he had a poor night’s sleep, and got up early in the morning to align his story with Third Master Huo.
Of course, he couldn’t say it directly, he had to be very subtle in communicating with the Third Master.
As a matter of fact, when he had only just started his explanation, the old fox understood everything.
With great kindness, he told him not to worry.
Third Master Huo’s exact words were, “Ai, you don’t need to worry about this, I will personally escort you ho, and explain everything to your father-in-law and older brother.”
Ai?
What kind of a nickna was that?
If it wasn’t for Qin i needing his help, he would have flipped out a long ti ago.
And, father-in-law and older brother?
The old man said it so fluently, how thick was his skin?
His dad and older brother hadn’t acknowledged him as a son-in-law yet.
Looking back, Qin i realized that from last night, Third Master Huo had been setting him up and he had naively fallen into the trap.
If he had known, he would have never co to the Huo family.
Indeed, those at the top are always unpredictable and inscrutable.
This was why Qin i upgraded Third Master Huo from “old man” yesterday to the “old fox” today.
…
Upstairs in the room,
Qin Ruan quickly finished her grooming and wore a loose, champagne-colored, poofy dress and headed downstairs.
The material of the dress she wore was very comfortable, but it did not have any brand labels and the style seed trendy.
This was not her dress, but sothing she found in the wardrobe of the room.
She did not know when Huo Yunjiao had arranged for soone to prepare the clothes in the room.
