Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Xiao Yujie Seeks Revenge, Invites Six Aristocratic Families to Watch
Upon noticing the two ladies starting to quarrel, Manager Wang quickly intervened.
Looking as if he had swallowed a bitter pill, he pleaded from side to side: "Ladies, can we discuss this peacefully? We’re all distinguished individuals, and guests will soon arrive. Why don’t we take this matter inside and talk?"
"Who would want to sit with someone who crawled out of a slum!
Xiao Wenrou flicked her hair, spun around and entered a room, exuding an air of arrogance as if she was above squabbling with the lower-class.
Her hurried pace felt oddly out of place.
Qin Ruan watched her retreating figure, feeling a slight suspicion rising from within.
Something about Xiao Wenrou didn’t feel right.
Her demeanor wasn’t as arrogant as it was back at the Huo household.
Could it be because the Third Master was not present today?
Liu Jisheng stared at the spot where Xiao Wenrou had disappeared, his face filled with dejection and an indescribable complexity.
The Liu Family was indeed a subordinate force of the Xiao Family, and he indeed served under Xiao Yujie.
Over the years, he had seen Xiao Wenrou multiple times, but she had never looked at him squarely.
Now he was standing here, controlled by the Hidden Guards of the Huo Family, and Xiao Wenrou didn’t even glance at him.
If only she had taken just one look at him... just one.
Then he would’ve had the chance to initiate a conversation and tell her that Xiao Yujie might be in danger.
From start to finish, Xiao Wenrou paid no attention to him.
Liu Jisheng slowly lowered his gaze, an aura of dejection surrounding him.
Qin Ruan stood still in contemplation for a few seconds before proceeding downstairs.
Whatever Xiao Wenrou was up to had nothing to do with her. Her priority was to find Xiao Wenrou’s elder brother.
Xiao Yujie’s intention to deal with Josh was subject to the Huo Family’s tolerance.
Since the Third Master wanted her to get involved in the Huo Family’s affairs, she would make a point today.
Xiao Yujie’s position could certainly serve as a cautionary tale.
"Madam Huo, take care!"
After sending Qin Ruan off, Manager Wang was all bows and scrapes outside the car.
He looked as respectful as if he were serving a deity.
He breathed a sigh of relief internally, glad to have seen off this ’deity’.
Through the car window, Qin Ruan gave a meaningful glance at Manager Wang, who was standing under the neon light.
"Manager Wang, see you later."
Manager Wang’s face stiffened slightly before he quickly smiled and replied, "See you... "
While he said ’see you,’ he was praying that he wouldn’t run into her until she had her child.
Qin Ruan gave a smile to Manager Wang, who was fundamentally dishonest, then slowly wound up the car window.
...
Zhenpin Pavilion.
It was a castle built with a sense of lavishness and grandeur.
None of the cars parked nearby were worth less than seven digits.
Those who came here to play were all distinguished and had close relationships with the Nangong Family.
Qin Ruan helped Liu Jisheng, who was nearly sober, get out of the car.
She looked up at the cage in front of her and smirked sardonically.
Qin Ruan let go of Liu Jisheng, then asked coldly, "Which room did Xiao Yujie arrange the meeting in?"
At this point, Liu Jisheng had no way out.
He rubbed his face and frowned, "Just follow me."
Qin Ruan, Lin Hao, and several of the Huo Family’s Hidden Guards followed Liu Jisheng’s steps.
Upon entering, they were checked for identification. Luckily with Liu Jisheng’s presence, once they heard it was Xiao Yujie’s arrangement, they let them in.
As they entered Zhenpin Pavilion without a hitch, Liu Jisheng couldn’t help but feel a hint of disappointment.
He knew Qin Ruan and the others were bound to come tonight, but the guards at the door who let them in without even screening made him uncomfortable.
"Stop looking so downcast, lead the way!"
Walking into the grand hall, Qin Ruan got a sense of what true extravagance looked like.
The architectural design was simple and modern, mainly composed of pure white walls and black marble flooring. The pursuit of aesthetic design greatly enhanced the taste.
Opposite the rest area sofa in the hall was a marble fireplace, whose material resonated with the design style of the outer wall, enriching the layers of the entire space.
Looking up, there were dozens of birdcage lamps, perfectly embodying Chinese style and adding endless oriental charm.
Qin Ruan stared at each birdcage lamp, feeling that they held a deeper meaning.
Perhaps the people imprisoned here were just like birds trapped in cages.
Liu Jisheng led Qin Ruan and the others to an elevator. There were few people they encountered along the way, and the occasional passers-by were all uniformed staff.
They were both men and women, each with exceptional and remarkable appearances.
The group took the elevator straight to the sixth floor.
Qin Ruan’s eyes slightly closed, "Has Xiao Yujie arrived at this time?"
Liu Jisheng, who had been staring blankly at something since entering the elevator, shook his head upon hearing her, "Young Master Xiao will only come after receiving my message. He will be the last one to arrive."
"The last one?" Qin Ruan looked up, puzzled, "Who else besides Xiao Yujie?"
Liu Jisheng spoke in a low voice, "He would have invited everyone to witness his revenge. Many people will come tonight, including representatives from the six major families. Whether they all show up, though, I’m not sure."
Qin Ruan couldn’t help but scoff aloud, "Xiao Yujie sure has guts, isn’t he afraid the Huo Family will seek justice?"
Liu Jisheng sneered, "Having lost face, do you think he cares if the Huo Family will hold him responsible?"
It made sense. In the eyes of these ’young masters,’ face was what mattered.
A mocking look flashed in Qin Ruan’s eyes. She despised Xiao Yujie without having even met him.
Seeing that her expression was growing increasingly unreadable, Liu Jisheng added, "Inviting all the noble families is also a precaution in case Josh really turns up. Those people could at least hold him off a bit."
Qin Ruan’s eyebrows shot up, "Was that your idea?"
Liu Jisheng nodded, "I suggested it. Young Master Xiao agreed."
"I didn’t realize, but you’re quite clever."
No sooner had Qin Ruan said this than the elevator doors opened.
Liu Jisheng was the first to exit and pointed to a room diagonally opposite, "That’s the room. Once we enter, there’s no turning back."
A charming smile crept onto Qin Ruan’s face. Her voice was calm, "You don’t have a way back. Now call Xiao Yujie and tell him to come."
Liu Jisheng began to second guess, "Are you sure about this? Xiao Yujie has a bad temperament and holds grudges. If you offend him, you’ll have problems in the future."
"If I wasn’t prepared to face trouble, I wouldn’t have come today."
Qin Ruan walked towards the room Liu Jisheng had pointed out, with Lin Hao quickly following her.
The Huo Family’s Hidden Guards surrounded Liu Jisheng, watching him make the call to Xiao Yujie.
Under everyone’s pressure, Liu Jisheng took out his phone and dialed Xiao Yujie’s number.
A languid voice came from the other side, "Jisheng? Have you arrived at Zhenpin Pavilion?"
"Xiao, whose call is this?"
A seductive woman’s voice followed, carrying a hint of complaint.
Just hearing this flirtatious tone, Liu Jisheng could guess what Xiao Yujie was doing right now.
