497: Chapter 497: Unless there’s an exception, she’ll be the future matriarch of the Huo Family 497: Chapter 497: Unless there’s an exception, she’ll be the future matriarch of the Huo Family Qin Ruan lowered her gaze, recalling the scene when Xiao Yujie left.
He obviously ca with a wounded left leg, but he left limping on the right.
She raised the corner of her lips in a mocking smile, lifting her eyes to face Rong nglan, who stood outside the car.
“You an to say, even if Josh ca tonight, Xiao Yujie wouldn’t touch him?”
Her voice was filled with cynicism and there wasn’t an attempt to hide it.
It would be hard for Rong nglan to pretend not to notice.
He reluctantly nodded, “He indeed wanted to scare Young Master Josh.”
Though this statent seed unlikely, it was the truth.
Qin Ruan smiled with a frozen glow in her eyes, “Do you take for a three-year-old child?”
Rong nglan frowned, he just didn’t want Qin Ruan to bear a grudge against Xiao Yujie today.
After all, so matters only appear on the surface.
The tussle between Xiao Yujie and Josh had its underlying reasons.
Currently, both the second and third masters of the Huo family were not in Capital City, and if Qin Ruan chose to retaliate against the Xiao Family now, they would be in a passive position.
From the mont Qin Ruan stepped forward for Josh tonight, Rong nglan had seen it.
Qin Ruan had begun to step into the core of the Huo Family.
Only the legitimate mbers had the right to control the Huo family’s Hidden Guard.
Previously, those who had mistaken the depth behind this, saying Qin Ruan would be driven out of the Huo Family, this is simply impossible.
Being accepted by the Huo family and even entrusted with the family’s aces indicated the enormous leap in her status.
She was fully accepted by the Huo family.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qin Ruan was set to be the future Madam of the Huo Family.
The Madam of the Huo family, a position that every woman would envy.
The power she would control in the future would also overrule that of the royal power.
Rong nglan, with a muted expression said to Qin Ruan, “Madam Huo, Yujie’s injury isn’t as severe as it seems.
He does not harbor an irreparable enmity with Josh.
Tonight’s setup was rely to save face.
He wouldn’t harm a hair on Josh’s head.
If he intended to harm him, I wouldn’t have been invited.
The Rong family, being amongst the six aristocratic families, would never put themselves in danger.
If Yujie did anything to Josh, it would certainly affect the Rong family.
Given that I could make it here today, it is certain that Xiao Yujie wouldn’t act against Young Josh.”
Qin Ruan looked indifferent, a slight, shallow smile appearing in her eyes.
She responded leisurely, “This is our first eting, why should I believe your words?”
Rong nglan was good at reading a person’s emotions, he could see Qin Ruan had softened her stance.
He smiled, saying, “I believe that Madam Huo is intelligent.
You now have control over the Huo family’s Hidden Guard, which must be a right given to you by the Third Master.
The Third Master is a person with wide perspectives and far-reaching strategies.
He would not acknowledge an ordinary person.”
Qin Ruan’s face radiated with amusent, her eyes gleaming with joy.
It was undeniable that Rong nglan, who seed as humble and polite as jade, said things that were pleasing.
Not only did he praise the Third Master, but he also flattered her.
Qin Ruan’s eyes curved into a smile, “Rong is skilled with words.”
“Madam Huo is too kind,” he replied.
Rong nglan exhaled, relieved.
As long as Xiao Yujie did not attract Qin Ruan’s attention, it would be fine.
He was aware of Qin Ruan’s background.
She was notoriously ruthless in West City, dealing with her enemies in the simplest and most brutal manner.
Qin Ruan lowered her eyes, her fingertips turning cold.
She spoke slowly, “I know Xiao Yujie was faking his injured leg.
He ca limping on his left foot and left limping on his right.
Unless I was blind, I would have noticed.”
Rong nglan was startled, he had not noticed.
Tonight, his attention had been fixed on Qin Ruan.
This woman was not only stunning but she also had a quality that drew people in.
She seed righteous yet nefarious, making him unable to see through her.
Listening to Qin Ruan’s words, Rong nglan perceived sothing new about her.
This woman had a keen mind.
She seed naïve but was actually very mature.
The last bit of anxiety in Rong nglan’s heart faded and he appeared relaxed.
“Madam Huo has keen eyesight,” he acknowledged.
Qin Ruan laughed curtly, “Enough, you can go.
As long as Xiao Yujie does not lay a finger on Josh, I don’t care what he does.”
A genuine smile appeared on Rong nglan’s face.
“I thank Madam Huo on behalf of Yujie.”
Qin Ruan waved her off, not responding to him.
At this mont, Rong Jing also finally realized sothing unusual.
Seeing his cousin, who was the legitimate heir and tabbed as the future leader of the Rong family, behave in such a humble manner in front of Qin Ruan was surprising.
Rong Jing began to search his mory, wondering if he had missed sothing.
Observing Qin Ruan with his cousin, every glance seed loaded with subtle anings.
After bidding farewell to Qin Ruan, Rong nglan pulled the thoughtful Rong Jing and left.
The two brothers hurried toward the parking lot.
The Hidden Guard standing outside saw the people of the Rong family leave and gently closed the car door for Qin Ruan.
Parking area.
Rong nglan had just reached his car when Rong Jing suddenly asked, “Cousin, who is Qin Ruan, really?”
“You knew her, don’t you know who she is?”
Rong nglan’s tone was icy, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
He got into the car, his face turning cold.
Just as he started the car, Rong Jing opened the passenger door and quickly got in.
The car started, but Rong nglan didn’t rush to leave.
He turned his gaze, glancing at Rong Jing’s puzzled face.
He asked in a stern voice, “The Guardian Spirit of the Rong Family, it was Qin Ruan who found it, right?”
Rong Jing nodded, “Yes, when father was targeted last ti and almost …
it was Qin Ruan who ca and got us out of trouble.
Without the Guardian Spirit for protection, I am afraid we would not have been able to hold on until Qin Ruan’s arrival.
Cousin, who exactly is Qin Ruan?”
Rong nglan patted Rong Jing’s head, revealing Qin Ruan’s identity, “Qin Ruan now belongs to the first-class aristocratic Huo family in Capital City.
She is the wife of the Third Master Huo.
If nothing goes wrong, she will be the mistress of the Huo family in the future.”
“…” Rong Jing was dumbfounded.
His eyes were wide, his mouth opening and closing, but he couldn’t utter a word.
Seeing his cousin’s shocked, incredulous and complex expression, Rong nglan chuckled, “How did you beco acquainted with Madam Huo?”
Rong Jing recalled his ssy disagreents with Qin Ruan and subconsciously licked his lips.
He told his cousin about the incident where he had exposed those compromising photos and videos.
He also ntioned that he was almost tricked by Han Kexin into having an unspeakable experience with Qin Ruan, and his visit to the Huo mansion that was arranged by the Second Master Huo.
After listening to him, Rong nglan’s expression turned strange.
When he looked at Rong Jing, it was as if he was eting this cousin for the first ti.
He would have to admit, he had gained a new understanding of this cousin.
He almost bumped into the wife of the Huo’s Third Master, was invited to the Huo mansion by the Second Master and even managed to leave unscathed.
And now, he had even beco friendly with the wife of the Huo’s Third Master.
Or should it be said that they were …
friendly?
Otherwise, why would soone unrelated to them step forward to protect Rong Jing and his father?
