Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Did Ruanruan Get Jealous? The Word Third Brother Echoing Over and Over Again

Not until Qin Ruan’s figure disappeared into the crowd did the Third Master slowly withdraw his gaze.

His detached eyes rested on Lu Han, the two handsome brothers Lu Han and Lu Yichen, their exquisite faces imbued with a hint of alienation.

The third master asked Lu Han, "Has your father arrived?"

Lu Han nodded, "Yes, he’s in the lounge chatting over tea with the old leaders."

Huo Yirong, who had just finished exchanging pleasantries with others, approached, he loosened his somewhat tight tie and looked at Lu Han with an impatient glance, "When are you planning to join the Cabinet?"

This question was one he had been frequently asked lately.

Having just been asked again, Lu Han’s expression faltered for a moment, hesitatingly saying, "I plan to wrap up my cases before handing them over to my successor."

"Put it off for later?!" Huo Yirong’s tone cooled slightly, his eyebrows knitted in displeasure as he stared at Lu Han: "After the Long Family abdicates, your father will be almost there, and yet you can’t let go of that position?

Are you waiting until your father has no one to assist him, being emptied by the people in the Cabinet, only to regret it?!"

Lu Yichen, who was originally bored, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this.

Lu Han’s face also changed, revealing a shocked and solemn expression, "Second Master, that’s not yet confirmed."

He was aware that his father had planned to compete at the beginning of the year, but later heard that the Long Family was likely to be reelected.

Since then, his father had not mentioned it again.

From the words of the Second Master, it was very likely that his father would succeed.

It should be known that throughout history, those who ascended to high positions needed the Huo Family’s approval.

The words of the Second Master were equivalent to the decision of the Huo Family, implicitly confirming his father as the next successor.

Huo Yirong couldn’t be bothered to respond to Lu Han’s foolish question.

He picked up a glass of champagne from a passing waiter’s tray, drained it and casually put the glass on a nearby table.

Since he didn’t get an answer from Huo Yirong, Lu Han could only turn his attention to the Third Master.

"Third Master?"

The corners of Third Master’s mouth rose, bending into a perfect curve.

He said softly, "As the eldest son of the Lu Family, it’s your responsibility to take over. If you can let go of your position at the Criminal Investigation Bureau, then let it go for a while. You’ve sat in that post long enough, give someone else a chance."

Lu Han understood what he meant.

Although the Third Master didn’t explicitly say his father was the next person in power, it was more likely than not.

Lu Yichen tightened his grip on his brother’s sleeve, his gaze slightly trembling with excitement as he stared at the Third Master.

"Third Master, does my father know about this?"

If so, why hasn’t his father mentioned it, this matter related to the family’s honor.

Third Master: "My grandfather will talk to your father in a few days. Be wise at this event today, don’t hold back your father, avoid unnecessary people, especially those arranged by the Nangong family."

This was the main reason why Huo Yirong and the Third Master leaked this information to the Lu brothers.

Nangong Chang’s visit to Qin City messed up their plans by bringing Qin Ruan into the limelight, and the Third Master had been making arrangements ever since.

From Nangong Chang, he could also see that the Nangong family was determined to win and would break the cauldron and sink the boats for power.

The Long Family couldn’t continue to hold power, the father of the Long Family couldn’t risk his health, and if he stayed in that position, his life could also be endangered.

The Nangong, Su, and Xiao families were already going crazy, and if things didn’t go as they expected, they could act desperately.

Among the four major families, the Huo Family was the leader.

The Huo family had no interest in that position, and when the Long family stepped down, only the Lu and Gu families were left.

The Gu family had been obedient for many years, but was somewhat entangled with the forces in the south.

Among the four major families, the most suitable candidate for high position was the Lu family.

If the Lu family couldn’t do it, they would have to select from the six aristocratic families.

Of course, this was the choice after the Lu family had no hope of elevation.

The Third Master’s gaze subtly shifted to meet Lu Yichen’s excited face and changed the subject: "Ruanruan prefers tranquility. She’s pregnant, so I’ll have to ask Young Master Lu to take good care of her."

Lu Yichen showed a sincere smile, "Third Master, you’re being too formal. The third lady and I are classmates, and we should take care of each other."

While he said something pleasant, he decided in his heart that he would certainly pamper Qin Ruan in the future.

The Lu Family hadn’t reached the top for nearly a hundred years, and if his father could ascend this time, it would not be a common event.

"Yo, why isn’t the groom serving the guests? Why is he here?" Huo Yirong mocked, his voice sounding.

"Third Master is here, I’ve been looking for him for a while."

As Nangong Chang’s voice arose, getting louder as he approached.

He was holding the arm of a beauty dressed in a traditional Xu Jin phoenix dress, who was none other than Xiao Wenrou of the Xiao Family.

With refined makeup on her face, upon seeing the Third Master, her eyes lit up with astonishing brightness.

This unabashed infatuation made Lu Han, Lu Yichen, and even those spectators around them frown.

Xiao Wenrou shrugged off Nangong Chang’s arm and quickly stepped in front of the Third Master, looking at him fondly.

She addressed him naturally, "Third Brother."

The Third Master’s spring-like smile dissipated, and his peach blossom eyes divulged an obscure luster: "Madam Nangong."

The greeting was cold enough to send chills down one’s spine.

The words "Madam Nangong" felt like a slap on Xiao Wenrou’s face, causing her heart to sink continuously.

Nangong Chang, ignoring Xiao Wenrou’s affectionate glances at the Third Master, stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulder, laughing heartily: "Wenrou has sincere feelings for the Third Master. Why don’t we have the Third Master personally hand over Wenrou to me when the wedding starts?"

Huo Yirong furrowed his brows, speaking in displeasure: "Can’t you think before you speak, Nangong Chang?"

"I don’t mind!" Xiao Wenrou said hastily.

The Third master laughed softly, his eyes turning cold, and spoke to Nangong Chang politely: "Madam Nangong should be handed over to you by her father, which represents that the Xiao Family entrusts her to you. It’s not appropriate for an outsider like me."

"What a pity."

Nangong Chang shook his head gently, a smile on his face, not showing any regret at all.

Xiao Wenrou’s face, however, was clearly filled with regrets and sorrow.

Her eyes welled up as she looked at the Third Master, exclaiming mournfully, "Third Brother..."

"Third Brother!"

Just as Xiao Wenrou was about to call out, a voice that seemed deliberately seductive and alluring rang out.

The familiar but strange voice reached the Third Master’s ears, causing his body to shake. His elegant posture trembled involuntarily, the pupils in his eyes shrink, and his lips tightly pressed.

Huo Yirong followed the voice, initially stunned, then a playful smile formed in his eyes.

Lu Han and Lu Yichen turned around and saw Qin Ruan slowly approaching, with Huo Zhi supporting her as she walked in her high heels.

The brothers were shocked, finding it hard to believe that the seductive voice just now had come from her.

Nangong Chang also saw Qin Ruan, his eyebrows slightly raised, his expression a mix of derision and amusement as he observed her.

He had to admit that Qin Ruan was indeed a seductive beauty.
