Chapter 1156: Chapter 1156: Mr. Huo: It’s dark, come pick up Madam to go home

Madam Chen’s words made Qin Ruan both want to laugh and cry.

Her hands were also stained with blood; good and evil were not distinguished by whether a life was taken in her case.

She understood the old lady’s meaning as well; she didn’t want her to disturb the Chen Family’s current peace.

Even though the old lady was tormented by nightmares, she still didn’t want to break the balance that had been maintained for decades.

Qin Ruan suppressed the admiration in her heart, and her calm eyes showed a hint of respect, "Rest assured, I can’t even sort out my own family matters, let alone worry about others.

In this world, few people get what they seek, and you are very fortunate. Besides, you have a long life ahead, living another decade or eight is no problem; not everyone can have this kind of fortune.

The reason why Mr. Chen, with his blood-stained hands, is still alive is because of the great fortune you bring him. Without you by his side all these years, numerous rich and powerful would have already crushed him."

Madam Chen was taken aback by Qin Ruan’s words, and seemed to think of something, asking a bit urgently, "A hundred years later, will Jingyi avoid Hell because of this fortune?"

Qin Ruan smiled without a word and turned to walk towards the door.

"Child, wait!"

Madam Chen called out from behind.

Qin Ruan, without turning back, said, "One should not be too greedy, but since you are husband and wife, even if you enter the Underworld a hundred years later, you’ll still be together."

She opened the door of the flower room and saw Chen Sixing standing at the entrance, his face restrained, and his eyes looked peculiar.

Seeing Qin Ruan walk out of the flower room, Chen Sixing presented the card he had prepared in advance right in front of her, "Thank you for your help with my family’s issues, there has been someone waiting outside for you for a long time."

Qin Ruan casually accepted the card from his hand, her fingers holding the thin card swayed lightly, a faint smile appearing in her eyes.

"Then, I apologize for the disturbance today, take care."

She left the Chen Residence in a good mood, and after only a few steps, she met Mr. Chen, who was coming around the corner.

Chen Jingyi, "Are you leaving, Miss Qin?"

"I’ve had my water and heard the story, it’s time to go."

Qin Ruan played boredly with the card in her hand, her voice casually lazy and indifferent.

"I’ll walk you out."

Mr. Chen led the way, his expression unchanged, as if he wasn’t the person who had been eavesdropping outside earlier.

Qin Ruan followed him out of the Chen Residence, and suddenly said, "The plant Mr. Chen gave to the old lady was quite beautiful; I quite liked it, but I accidentally ruined it. I hope Mr. Chen won’t mind."

Chen Jingyi walking ahead, replied, "That was my sister’s flower."

His voice was emotionless, very calm.

Qin Ruan slightly raised her eyebrows, "Is that so? Even so, you personally gave that plant to the old lady."

The old man walking in front stilled for a moment, then said, "Old grudges are hard to erase, knots in the heart do not ease; there’s always time one is blinded and takes the wrong path, spending half a lifetime seeking revenge, thinking oneself already in Hell, only to look back and realize you’ve been pulled back into the warm Mortal World by someone."

Qin Ruan’s faint smile faded, her voice tinged with sarcasm, "It’s really laughable, old sir, to push every fault onto being blinded; was the heart also blinded?"

The two had already walked outside. Chen Jingyi stopped walking, standing on the steps.

His grayish-white hair, under the dim yellow warm light of the street lamp, seemed less vibrant than during the day, yet it still felt very warm.

Qin Ruan didn’t go around in circles, scoffed coldly, "Ni Peipei and Ni Shanshan look exactly alike, yet their personalities are so different. After decades of companionship, couldn’t you really tell them apart?"

Chen Jingyi looked back at Qin Ruan, his gaze firm, "Of course, I recognized her the first time we met."

Such a beautiful and elegant girl, how could he not recognize her?

Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin.

Good or evil in a person, it’s all in the eyes.

Throughout, he had always distinguished clearly between the Ni sisters.

Qin Ruan couldn’t deny it, his gaze calm, "Was it the day Ni Peipei died?"

Chen Jingyi shook his head, his wise eyes somewhat scattered, filled with reminisce.

His gaze moved past the luxury car parked outside the iron gate, looking towards the hills revealed by the night, seemingly seeing the girl standing among the crowd of new students coming and going.

She wore a white dress, carrying a leather case, her expressive eyes staring at him, mesmerizing him.

Faced with such direct gaze, Chen Jingyi found it amusing internally, shifted his gaze, and deeply remembered the girl.

The night breeze blew, and Huo Zhi, who followed, stepped forward, speaking softly to Qin Ruan, "Madam, the wind has picked up."

Qin Ruan hummed in acknowledgment, her gaze enveloping Chen’s elder figure without retracting.

After a long look, her face revealed a realization as if she understood something, and she chuckled softly.

"So this was the romance of your era? Although I can’t understand it, it’s respectable."

Chen Jingyi slowly walked down the steps, softly said, "I tried heartlessly to cut ties, but alas, I couldn’t. However, my wife was indeed frightened recently, thank you, Miss Qin, for your intervention."

Qin Ruan shook the card in her hand, "No need for thanks, your daughter has given me the corresponding compensation."

Chen Jingyi spoke kindly, "Still, I must say thanks. Though Ashan is physically strong, she is ultimately old, and any more troubles would be a regret for us each day less."

Qin Ruan knew he didn’t really want the Chen matriarch’s life, after all, there was an old resentment between the Chen Family and the Ni Family.

That the two had come this far was not easy.

The reason Chen Jingyi acted this way, Qin Ruan could think of no other instigators except for the sister who disappeared recently.

Looking at the elderly man walking beside her, reminded of Song half-immortal and others being detained in the vase, she curiously asked, "May I know from whom Mr. Chen learned his skills?"

"Miao Ethnic Group, my ancestors were Miao people."

As they spoke, they had reached the iron gate.

Qin Ruan saw Huo Yunjiao sitting inside the car, who had lowered the window, gazing warmly at her.

Wanting to ask more, Qin Ruan put the matter of the Chen Family aside, hastening her steps towards the person sitting in the car.

She rested her hand on the car window, bent down making eye contact with the person inside, her face unable to hide the radiant smile, "Why are you here?"

Huo Yunjiao stretched out his well-defined hand from the window, ruffled Qin Ruan’s hair, his tone helpless, "It’s getting dark, I came to take Madam home."

His low and gentle voice was tolerant, making it difficult not to be moved.

Qin Ruan gazed at the magnified handsome face in front of her, thinking today Sir Huo looked very well.

However, recalling last night’s embarrassing memory, she pressed her curving lips, a hint of reproach in her eyes.

Master Huo, very attuned to Qin Ruan’s emotional shifts and recalling how harshly he had treated her the night before, opened the car door inviting her inside, "It’s windy outside, get in the car first."

Qin Ruan glared at him, then turned to the elder standing at the Chen Family’s gate and said, "Fortune and misfortune come hand in hand, I hope you’ll cherish the ones before you and not wait until the situation worsens to regret."

With that, she didn’t wait for a response, pulled open the car door, and got in.
