Young Master Is Being Jealous Again! -

Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Huo Zhi: Master, Madam must miss you.
Huo Yirong’s eyes lowered slightly, speaking to Nicholas in a suggestive tone, "My previous in-laws, the Yue family, are an old aristocratic family in Capital City for a hundred years. They had a small scrape with my third brother, causing him some minor harm. Although my brother wasn’t seriously injured, meddling with him meant they were courting their own destruction. Within a year, they will be permanently expelled from Capital City.
This was personally arranged by my grandfather. He showed no mercy to a century-old aristocratic family situated in the Capital City. Do you understand now what my third brother represents to the Huo Family?"
Nicholas sensed danger and hurriedly explained, "Huo Er, the Bolin Family has no intention of doing anything to Lord Huo the Third."
A cold smile appeared on Huo Yirong’s face, "Indeed, you only want to take advantage of a crisis. You assume that the Huo Family lacks a wizard, but our Mysterious Studies World has its own talents. Don’t forget that beneath your feet is the ancient land of the cultivators.
Our occultists here are no fewer than your American wizards. You should know we also have wizards. Even though they have long fallen from prominence, if the Huo family wishes to find these hidden experts, we could unearth them at any time."
Nicholas frowned, "Huo Er, what are you trying to say?"
Huo Yirong, "I’m disappointed in the ten-year relationship we’ve built. You knew how highly valued my third brother is in the family, yet you still wanted to take advantage of the situation. This can be considered as kicking someone when they’re down. Even though our positions differ, today should not be the day you appear here."
After finishing his speech, the second master stood up and straightened his clothes, "I’m sorry, I don’t wish to entertain you. I’m extremely disappointed in you. Whenever I see you, it reminds me of how my third brother was manipulated. This is something I cannot bear."
Nicholas, "Huo Er, you can’t do this, as you said, our positions are different..."
Huo Yirong’s face was icy cold and his tone devoid of any emotion, "Correct, our positions are different. I can understand you, but it does not mean that I will accept it."
He called to the door, "Huo Qiang."
The office door was pushed open from the outside and Huo Qiang walked in.
Huo Yirong gestured towards Nicholas with his chin, "Please escort the guest out. Put all matters involving the company on hold for today. I am going home to comfort our master and soothe his wounded spirit."
The second master didn’t even spare Nicholas a glance, he turned and walked out of the office.
Behind him, Nicholas, who was on the verge of spitting blood, was entirely numb.
He felt like he had been led around by the nose by the pair of brothers from start to finish.
Where on earth was Huo the Third emotionally injured? The one who was actually injured was him alright?
With a stern face, Huo Qiang respectfully responded, "Young Master Nicholas, please."
Nicholas complained, "What kind of attitude is that from your Second Master?"
Huo Qiang spoke gruffly, "Our Second Master is spoilt by the Third Master."
"..." Nicholas.
He felt as if his spirit had once again been injured.
...
At the parking lot beneath the HEA Company building.
The elevator opened and the Third Master elegantly strode out first, followed by Huo Chuan.
As soon as the two men emerged, several well-trained hidden guards from the Huo family deftly dispersed.
At this moment, the smile on the Third Master’s face had faded away. His bright peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold glint.
He suddenly called out, "Huo Chuan."
Huo Chuan stepped forward, "Third Master?"
Huo Yunjiao lowered his eyes and instructed in a deep voice, "Contact the people we have arranged in the US, and ask them to look into what has recently happened in the Bolin Family."
Huo Chuan replied respectfully, "Yes, Third Master."
Huo Yunjiao always felt that there must be something he didn’t understand about Nicholas representing the Bolin Family and seeking an alliance through marriage with the Huo Family.
The Bolin Family held some significant influence in the US, especially in the royal family. They would not reach out to the Huo Family without cause.
If they were to scheme against the Huo Family, there was no need for it.
The distance was far too great; the potential difficulties that could arise were impossible to predict. This was not a matter confined to the two families.
To put it more broadly, it could even escalate to a confrontation between the US and the land of cultivators.
While the two were speaking, they had already arrived in front of a low-key luxurious fleet of vehicles.
Just as Huo Chuan was about to step forward to open the car door, he noticed a private car with the emblem of the Huo Family parked not far off.
He raised the question with a hint of uncertainty, "Third Master, it seems like that’s Madam’s car."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yunjiao turned to look.
Qin Ruan had been waiting for over an hour.
She sat in the car, her eyes continuously focused on the underground parking lot elevator.
As soon as the Third Master, followed by Huo Chuan, came out, she spotted them immediately.
The Third Master, dressed in an exquisite and precise suit, was talking to Huo Chuan with his head lowered.
He was like a noble prince who had walked out of a painting, with an air of grace and magnificence. Every move he made was elegant, a true favorite of the heavens.
However, as he approached, Qin Ruan did not see even a trace of the tenderness and indulgence on his handsome and warm face that she had seen before.
The gentleness and softness in his eyes from the past, along with the special indulgence like one might show toward a child, had vanished.
What Qin Ruan saw in Third Master’s lowered jawline were sharp edges, while a hint of arrogance emerged between his eyebrows. His eyes slightly squinted, but in his eyes there was a cold look devoid of warmth.
His expression was gloomy, stern but awe-inspiring.
Qin Ruan clearly saw that Third Master was impatient. He was not in a good mood.
Huo Yunjiao could see the car that he had arranged especially for Huo Zhi to be used by Qin Ruan.
He approached with Huo Chuan, his stern and authoritative aura disappearing entirely on the way.
Huo Zhi, who was sitting in the car, saw the Third Master and Huo Chuan coming towards her. She immediately opened the car door and walked out.
She stood in front of the car door and respectfully said, "Third Master."
The Third Master’s eyes held an indifferent sparkle, his voice was gentle, "Why did you bring the Madam here?"
Huo Zhi paused slightly, her shocking revelation made even the Third Master flabbergasted, "The Madam must have missed you."
With no emotion in her tone, she told the Third Master something that shocked him.
Huo Yunjiao’s face held a rare baffled expression, blinking his eyes as if he didn’t understand what Huo Zhi meant.
This subtle expression was fleeting.
Qin Ruan, who was sitting inside the car, had been keeping her gaze on Third Master the entire time. She had clearly seen this slight change.
The Third Master asked, "What did the Madam do before she came here?"
In Huo Yunjiao’s recollection, besides the time when she held her pregnancy tests and came to him, it was the second time Qin Ruan had taken the initiative to find him.
He felt that something must have happened.
Huo Zhi replied respectfully, "The Madam went to the Crime Investigation Bureau."
Huo Yunjiao’s gaze moved, staring at the privacy window of the car, knowing that Qin Ruan inside was looking at him.
Under his gaze, the car window slowly rolled down.
Qin Ruan once again saw the tenderness and acceptance in Third Master’s eyes. A faint smile appeared on her face, "If the Third Master wants to know something, why not ask me directly?"
The Third Master had a gentle smile on his face, softly saying, "Did Lu Han come to find you?"
His tone held an assurance, as if he was certain.
Qin Ruan chuckled, "Third Master, you’re really spot on every time."
She opened the car door and got out.
Without any prior notice, she quickly strode forward, raising her arm to embrace the Third Master’s waist.
Huo Zhi, Huo Chuan, and the surrounding hidden guards, all respectfully lowered their heads, avoiding looking.
