Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 1022: Openly scheming against people, are all Qin Family members so upright?

Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: Openly scheming against people, are all Qin Family members so upright?

Misunderstood, Yin Tianlin shifted his gaze forward.

His face turned red as he spoke earnestly, "I really wasn’t thinking anything. It’s just that seeing their affection for each other, wouldn’t Qin Ruan be very sad if the third master of the Huo Family really were gone?"

That evening, he saw the two of them standing together. There was no sweetness or intimacy, but it gave the impression that a third person could never blend into their bond.

Summing it up in one sentence, there was no one more suited for each other in the world.

Fu Ziqiu displayed a scornful look and scoffed, "I don’t know whether Qin Ruan will be sad, but given another decade, the power she holds will make the other three major families and six aristocratic families of Capital City wary. The life or death of everyone will hinge on her word."

His words revealed obvious envy.

By then, not to mention the women, many men would never reach the heights she achieved in their entire lives.

Seeing the Huo Family’s car drive away, Fu Ziqiu urged, "Okay, their car is far away now. Let’s hurry and catch up."

Qin Mei was injured tonight, and the two brothers could hardly shirk their responsibility. They had to go through the proper processes.

Yin Tianlin felt uneasy, uncertain if it was the regret for his idol’s impending untimely demise, or sympathy for Qin Ruan, to whom he held a favorable impression.

"Got it!"

His tone was subdued as he stepped on the accelerator, chasing after the Huo Family’s car.

Upon reaching the hospital and after several examinations, it was found that Qin Mei’s leg injury was not severe; there were no damaged tendons or bones.

Relieved by the news, Qin Ruan called her eldest brother.

Knowing about Qin Mei’s leg injury and understanding what had happened, Qin Jingcen did not burst into anger.

He didn’t even ask about his brother’s injury but asked Qin Ruan, "Did the Fu Family’s people play tricks on you? Did Amei make a move?"

To keep him from getting angry, Qin Ruan made excuses for Qin Mei, "Don’t worry, big brother. The tremors from the earthquake caused the club’s chandelier to fall. He was injured before he had a chance to react."

"A total mess and disgrace!" Qin Jingcen’s words revealed deep dissatisfaction, then he asked, "Which hospital are you at? I’m coming now."

Qin Ruan provided the hospital’s address and reassured him, "Big brother, you don’t need to worry. His injury isn’t severe; a few days of rest should be enough."

Qin Jingcen’s tone was gentle with a hint of a smile, "Amei’s skin is tough; he doesn’t need my concern. Are those two young members of the Fu Family at the hospital?"

Qin Ruan truthfully responded, "They just arrived."

Qin Jingcen’s voice deepened, "Tell them not to leave, wait for me!"

Qin Ruan blinked, somewhat perplexed, "Big brother, what are you going to do?"

"I need to recognize their faces, see who dared to bully my sister."

Qin Jingcen expressed very clearly and bluntly his intention to meet Fu Ziqiu and Yin Tianlin.

Qin Ruan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Big brother, I wasn’t taken advantage of."

"That’s different. Wait for me; I’ll be right there!"

"Got it. Drive safely."

Qin Jingcen acknowledged and then hung up the phone.

Watching the call disconnect, Qin Ruan looked up to see Fu Ziqiu and Yin Tianlin talking softly in the hospital corridor.

She approached them and hinted, "It’s getting late. Don’t you two want to head back first?"

Fu Ziqiu instinctively tensed up, and replied in a no-nonsense manner, "We’ll leave once the secondary master’s bandaging is done."

Leaving now could mean having to take the blame if anything were to arise later.

Although Qin Mei’s plight today wasn’t a direct result of a conflict with him and Tianlin, it still originated because of them.

Qin Ruan slightly raised her eyebrows, her voice soft and slow, "My big brother is coming over soon, and his temper is even more volatile than my second brother’s."

Badmouthing her elder brother was something she did with ease and without guilt.

Upon hearing this, Fu Ziqiu instantly understood, and his complexion changed.

Realizing what Qin Ruan meant, he immediately grabbed Yin Tianlin’s arm, anxiously saying, "I suddenly remembered something urgent at home. Tianlin is leaving tomorrow; he should get home early to rest."

Qin Ruan smiled, "Then I won’t see you out."

"No need, no need—"

Fu Ziqiu, holding onto Yin Tianlin’s arm, pulled the injured leg along, leaving under the escort of the Fu Family’s bodyguards.

If it wasn’t for his injured leg, he would have likely fled at a sprint.

One mischievous brother like Qin Mei was enough for them to handle. Another encounter with the hot-tempered Qin Jingcen, and they’d rather not risk it here.

Lu Yichen, Josh, and Rong Jing observed this scene with different expressions.

After Fu Ziqiu and Yin Tianlin disappeared around the corner, Josh, leaning against the hospital wall with his arms crossed, spoke in a teasing tone, "Little sister-in-law, you really cover for them. These brothers always carry an air of arrogance."

Qin Ruan glanced back at him, her voice indifferent, "I simply acknowledge their remorse and willingness to learn a lesson. How is that covering for them?"

"As for being arrogant, they have the qualifications. The Fu Family’s influence in Capital City is rising; we shouldn’t give the outside world and the Huo Family a reason to misunderstand."

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Lu Yichen.

He met her look, his amiable face breaking into a gentle smile, nodding in agreement, "You’re very thoughtful, junior."

Admiration surfaced in Lu Yichen’s eyes.

Now that the Fu Family had been recognized as one of the six aristocratic families, other families should exhibit the capacity to accommodate them.

This was the time for the Fu Family to build connections. As an Aristocratic Family, they naturally couldn’t be seen in an embarrassing and unfitting position.

Qin Ruan now represented the Huo Family, and once the Qin Family clashed with the Fu Family, it would give outsiders the illusion that the Huo Family couldn’t accommodate the Fu Family.

Rong Jing scratched his head and interrupted, "All these twists and turns really give me a headache, but those brothers from the Fu Family don’t seem like they lack discernment."

Qin Ruan mused, "Acknowledge mistakes and correct them, able to bend and stretch, worth associating with."

The friction that occurred in Sea City with Fu Ziqiu, Qin Ruan didn’t take it to heart; after all, she had settled scores on the spot.

As for Yin Tianlin, it was just youthful impetuosity.

If he had been interested in her before, his actions seemed like transferring affection onto another after discovering that Third Master was J God.

Josh wore a thoughtful expression, recalling the aura similar to his on Fu Ziqiu and Yin Tianlin, and nodded secretly, "I also think they are quite reasonable."

Lu Yichen smiled, thinking that since there had been no conflict between the Qin Family and the Fu Family that evening, he considered his mission fully accomplished.

Knowing that Qin Mei, that foolish kid, wanted to confront Fu Ziqiu and Yin Tianlin, his father and older brother had repeatedly instructed him to ensure the Qin Family did not make enemies with the Fu Family.

The delicately balanced powers could not withstand another disturbance.

In an era that seemed peaceful worldwide, mysterious and vicious incidents were frequently occurring everywhere.

This situation had even alarmed the Cabinet; the Cabinet had already dispatched many people to investigate, and the members of the Tianxing Tea Team had left Capital City in batches.

If there were no forces behind this, why would it disturb so many people?

Lu Yichen, hands in his pockets, turned to look at the wounded being bandaged inside the room.

The expression on Qin Mei’s face, grinning with gritted teeth, looked amusing.

However, the snowball beside him, unusually well-behaved, was licking his fingers and making faint meowing sounds.

This was the first time seeing Xueqiu behaving so docilely; it had to be said, this cat was really endearing, very understanding of human nature.

Suddenly, Xueqiu lifted those green eyes, fixing a wary and dangerous gaze directly on Lu Yichen.

Josh, not knowing when he moved forward, chuckled, "This cat is really in tune with humans, isn’t it? Qin Mei had a harder time taming it when he first got it."

Lu Yichen, pointing at the white furball inside, laughed, "The little thing is really spirited, it’s showing off to me now."

Seeing the two humans outside the door, Xueqiu dashed to Qin Mei’s legs, wrapping its front paws around his legs and turned its head towards Lu Yichen and Josh, emitting a threatening low hiss.

Josh laughed at this scene, "It’s quite a loyal guardian, isn’t it?"

Lu Yichen, "Who’s to say otherwise?"

Qin Mei was startled by Xueqiu’s sudden emotional hissing and, in pain, followed its gaze.

Seeing the two faces outside the door, Qin Mei immediately dropped his grimacing expression and raised a middle finger at them.

Lu Yichen’s eyebrows slightly raised, "Looks lively as a dragon."

Josh snarked, "Not like the half-dead appearance from before; he looks more pleasing now."

Qin Mei couldn’t hear what the two were saying, but judging by their expressions, he knew they were not speaking kindly.

He squinted his sharp eyes and angrily shouted, "You wait for your young master!"

Qin Ruan, standing aside and hearing their conversation and Qin Mei’s bellowing inside, rubbed her temples, her expression helpless, "My second brother is straightforward; stop teasing him."

Lu Yichen looked at her, his voice gentle, "Junior, you’re being modest, Qin’s second young master is too clever by half."

Qin Ruan squinted slightly, "Are you sure that’s a compliment?"

Lu Yichen’s face was sincere, "It couldn’t be truer."

"Ruanruan!"

A breathless calling voice came from behind.

It was Qin Jingcen who had arrived, but unfortunately, Fu Ziqiu and Yin Tianlin had already left.

Qin Ruan showed a surprised look, "Big brother, how did you get here so quickly?"

Clad in a suit, Qin Jingcen, his long fingers tugging at his collar, walked over briskly, "I was nearby. How is Amei? And those two others?"

Qin Ruan coughed lightly, "They had to leave because of some matters."

Seeing her guilty expression, Qin’s eldest young master understood everything.

He looked at Qin Ruan helplessly, "I’m not going to fight them, what are you afraid of?"

Qin Ruan’s face full of disbelief, "Your tone just now didn’t sound like you weren’t going to lay a hand on them."

Qin Jingcen, full of integrity, very sincerely said, "I’m a businessman, a gentleman uses his mouth and not his fists."

That meant, no fists but verbal bullying was alright.

Qin Ruan said, "One is nineteen and one just over twenty years old, squabbling with them, aren’t you afraid people will say you’re bullying?"

Upon learning their ages, Qin’s eldest young master frowned, "You make sense. I’ll talk to their parents later."

This time, Qin Ruan didn’t stop him, even proactively informing, "Fu Yinru is currently active on behalf of the Fu Family. When you see him, you can chat more. If you can press him or make him uncomfortable, I’ll be very pleased."

The past ordeal in the Fu Family still held a grudge in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingcen raised an eyebrow, "No problem!"

As long as it was his sister’s request, he must execute it flawlessly.

Witnessing this pair of siblings openly scheming, Josh, Lu Yichen, and Rong Jing couldn’t help but twitch their mouths.

Are all Qin Family people so straightforward?
