Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 489: Never act recklessly if you are not one hundred percent sure

Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Never act recklessly if you are not one hundred percent sure

Upon hearing these words, Qin Ruan’s lips pressed tightly together as her eyes turned to look at the scenery outside her car window.

The neon lights from both sides of the road cast their glow on her face, adding an air of melancholy.

Having experienced a previous life, Qin Ruan knew of the abundant troubles hidden behind the glamour of high society, their inner workings complex.

Which prominent family didn’t have the darkest, unknown secrets hidden away?

The Qin Family was no exception.

In her previous life, the protective barrier that Qin Ruan had erected around her family in Qin Family caused a rift between them, for which she paid a heavy price.

Even Lin Hao, within the Su Family, only managed to survive by a hair’s breadth.

If she truly let Su Wang, Li Zilan, and Shen Ran leave West City...

Whether they could adapt to these underhanded schemes, or avoid being used, Qin Ruan couldn’t guarantee.

The dirty intentions and tactics of high society, were incomparable to the open disputes in West City.

If the young people growing up in West City were wolves, blood-thirsty and dangerous, they liked to use strength to determine victory.

However, the people in these major families and aristocratic families were like wolves in human skin, seemingly harmless, but their aura was even more introverted.

They were best at killing inconspicuously, without shedding a drop of blood.

Qin Ruan couldn’t guarantee, if she really brought Su Wang, Li Zilan, Shen Ran out, she could protect them completely.

She could say that she was in no position to guarantee their safety.

With less than a year left to live, two children in her belly, and a frail third master tormented by Evil Qi within her body.

Having heard of Lin Hao’s difficult life experiences, Qin Ruan momentarily put aside her plans of taking her friends out of West City.

She wasn’t strong enough yet.

She shouldn’t act rashly without being a hundred percent sure about something.

...

Yejue Club, room number 408.

Under the watchful eyes of Huo Family’s Hidden Guards, Liu Jisheng and the others drunkenly hazed.

If there was anyone still somewhat sober in the room, it was only Liu Jisheng.

After Qin Ruan and Lin Hao went upstairs, only Liu Jisheng was left sitting on the couch in a daze, while everyone else was completely drunk.

Some were even passed out on the floor with bottles in their arms, saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths.

The room was filled with the intoxicating smell of alcohol, Qin Ruan held her hand to her nose and mouth, an expression of disgust flashing in her eyes.

She asked in a deep voice, "How did it get this way?"

The Huo Family’s Hidden Guard stepped forward, helpless, "They were reluctant to drink at first, but after getting a bit drunk, they started to force each other to drink more, we couldn’t stop them."

"Drink! Who...whoever doesn’t drink is a bastard!"

Suddenly, one of the men lying on the floor with a bottle in his arms, shouted loudly.

The empty bottle in his hand was raised high, and he was cursing.

"I want girls! The prettiest girls, with big front and round back!"

The drunk man on the couch responded.

His eyes were tightly closed and he didn’t even open them, but his words were clear, showing his deep desire for women.

Qin Ruan twitched at the corner of her lips when she saw this.

She simply wanted to scare this group, and teach them a lesson, after all she still planned to take them to Zhenpin Pavilion for a confrontation.

These guys right here were busy getting themselves drunk, this was certainly an impressive skill in its own right.

Qin Ruan looked coldly at the only person who was somewhat sober in the room, Liu Jisheng.

Liu Jisheng stared blankly, his expression dazed as he looked back at Qin Ruan.

His fair-skinned, handsome face was flushed red, clearly he had not drunk any less.

Qin Ruan walked a few steps forward and asked, "Liu Jisheng, can you still stand up?"

"...Yes."

Liu Jisheng’s reaction was really slow.

He staggeringly got up from the couch and approached Qin Ruan with unsteady steps.

"It seems you’re not that drunk, let’s go then, to Zhenpin Pavilion."

Qin Ruan stepped aside, letting Liu Jisheng go first.

The three words "Zhenpin Pavilion" seemed to strike a nerve in Liu Jisheng, and he stood still.

He shook his head repeatedly, muttering, "Can’t go to Zhenpin Pavilion, can’t..."

Qin Ruan’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "Why can’t we go to Zhenpin Pavilion now?"

Liu Jisheng raised his hand and beat his head hard, his expression a bit pained.

He kept repeating: "Can’t go, can’t go there, something will happen, something..."

Qin Ruan didn’t argue with him. To the hidden guard at one side, she instructed: "Take him, to the Zhenpin Pavilion."

"Yes, Madam—"

The hidden guard of the Huo Family approached and assisted Liu Jisheng towards the door of the private room.

As they walked, they happened to bump into Manager Wang.

"My goodness! Why haven’t you left yet?!"

Upon seeing Qin Ruan, Manager Wang felt a headache.

Qin Ruan, being observant, knew that Manager Wang didn’t come for her initially.

Having seen her, he only slowed his hurried pace, his surprised expression clearly noticeable on his face.

Qin Ruan gave a slight smile: "Manager Wang, have you rushed over to bid me farewell?"

Manager Wang cast a glance at the private room deep inside.

Thinking of the VIP guest in the room, a shiver ran down his spine. He hastened to nod at Qin Ruan.

Manager Wang fawningly approached and presented Qin Ruan with a broad grin: "Madam Huo, may I escort you downstairs?"

Qin Ruan, as if she didn’t see his small actions just now, walked away at a steady pace.

Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse.

They had barely taken a few steps when they heard a voice behind them.

"Isn’t that Manager Wang? Why are you leaving without going in?"

A woman’s charming voice punctuated the silence abruptly.

Qin Ruan found it strangely familiar and slowly turned her head.

A woman leaning against the door frame, eyes slightly squinted, in her lips a mischievous smile, came into Qin Ruan’s view.

If not, Xiao Wenrou who previously confronted her at the Huo Family house, now the wife of Nangong Chang.

It might be a figment of Qin Ruan’s imagination, but Xiao Wenrou seemed different, looking a bit wild, exuding a familiar aura of brutality.

Liu Jisheng saw Xiao Wenrou too. He opened his mouth to speak, but then he felt something familiar at his waist. It was pressed against him.

He knew it was a gun.

"Keep your wits about you!"

The ice-cold voice of Huo Family’s hidden guard buzzed in Liu Jisheng’s ear.

Liu Jisheng’s hopeful expression crumbled, bleak eyes fixed on Xiao Wenrou, hoping she would glance his way.

Seeing Qin Ruan’s face, Xiao Wenrou froze.

She didn’t expect the guest Manager Wang was to escort was the wife of the third young master of the Huo family.

With a thought, Xiao Wenrou quickly disguised her face.

With blatant hostility in her eyes, she glared at Qin Ruan, looking like a wronged wife who’d been cheated on by her husband.

"It turns out to be the wife of the third young master of Huo Family. The third master just left, and here you are at Yejue, seeking male companionship. How can you do this to him?

Your presence in the Huo family is utterly disgraceful. It seems that not only are your origins humble, but you are also fickle by nature!"

"..." Qin Ruan was stunned by what she heard.

Not only was Xiao Wenrou quick to shift expressions, but she also had a knack for slinging mud.

Qin Ruan responded with a derisive smirk and a mocking tone: "Mrs. Nangong, before criticizing me, make sure to reel in yourself a bit.

Look at what you’re wearing, where’s the elegance of a lady from a noble family? If one didn’t know better, they might mistake you for a hostess here."

Xiao Wenrou was furious, she retorted angrily, "Qin Ruan! Watch your mouth!"

She glared at Qin Ruan with a vicious look, as if she wanted to scratch out her face.
