Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 494 Ruanruan: If something is broken, fix it properly

Chapter 494: Chapter 494 Ruanruan: If something is broken, fix it properly

A cold light danced in Qin Ruan’s eyes, but an enchanting smile, charming as a spring breeze, played on the corners of her lips.

She nodded lightly at Xiao Yujie, her pleasant voice unhurriedly stating, "I too hope not to have such an encounter with Young Master Xiao in the future."

Xiao Yujie scoffed haughtily, "That’s exactly what I wish for."

Qin Ruan fiddled with the phone in her hand, leaning against the backrest of the sofa, the expression on her face the epitome of leisure and languor.

She narrowed her eyes in amusement, "So, we have a consensus?"

Xiao Yujie nodded perfunctorily, "I’ll be taking my leave."

As he turned to leave, his gait was still awkward, hinting at an injury.

Qin Ruan watched his limping walk, an intriguing expression crossing her delicate face.

As Xiao Yujie left the room, the warmth from her eyes faded, and her face became solemn.

From Xiao Yujie’s words, it seemed that Josh would inevitably suffer at his hands sooner or later.

But the premise was that the two really bore a grudge against each other.

Rong Jing, who had finally stopped his nosebleed, came out of the restroom.

Seeing that most of the people in the room were gone, with only his cousin and Qin Ruan sitting on the sofa, and Lei Ning and Ling Xiaoxuan shamelessly flirting beside them, he looked confused and asked, "Eh? Where is everyone? Why is no one here?"

Rong Menglan, who had been silent all this while, gestured to Rong Jing once he exited the restroom.

As Rong Jing approached, he asked softly, "Has your nosebleed stopped?"

"Um, it’s stopped. I bet it’s all because my father has been overdoing it with the tonics lately. I have to tell him when I get home, his son is about to go off the rails if he keeps it up!"

Rong Jing blushes in embarrassment. It’s all his father’s fault for saying that their family line depends on him.

He even said he needed more nourishment, to make up for his lost energy.

So he could maintain his physical strength and strive to continue the next generation.

As if his only purpose in life was this.

Rong Menglan chuckled softly, "What kind of mistake are you going to make?"

"Well, it’s..."

Rong Jing was about to make a crude joke when he caught sight of Qin Ruan out of the corner of his eye and stopped in time.

"Ahem!" He coughed and chuckled. "It’s inappropriate to discuss these matters in front of a lady."

Qin Ruan glanced up, her gaze indifferent.

Rising to her feet, she said to the cousins, "I have something to do, I’ll be leaving first."

"I’ll escort Madam."

Rong Menglan rose, intending to accompany Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan lowered her gaze, looking at Ling Xiaoxuan who was sitting on the sofa, leaning into Lei Ning, whispering to him.

She asked, "Sister, do you want to leave together?"

"Don’t mind me, I’ll leave with Lei Ning later."

Ling Xiaoxuan waved Qin Ruan off without even lifting her head.

She looked as if she was being bewitched by a male fox spirit.

Qin Ruan frowned, her cool gaze fixed on Lei Ning, who had Ling Xiaoxuan completely in his thrall.

He was also looking at Qin Ruan.

Their gazes clashed in midair.

Qin Ruan noticed that the man appeared to be gentle and scholarly, with a mild-mannered air about him.

However, there was no warmth in his eyes, giving Qin Ruan an unsettling feeling, his gaze was too cold.

Under Qin Ruan’s watchful gaze, Lei Ning smiled at Ling Xiaoxuan, "Darling, it’s getting late, let’s leave."

"Yeah, I want to have spicy crayfish, keep me company."

"Of course, I’ll do as you wish."

Lei Ning rose, with Ling Xiaoxuan in his arms.

It was then that Ling Xiaoxuan finally looked at Qin Ruan directly, a flirtatious lustre in her eyes, signaling that she was head over heels in love.

"Qin Ruan, we’re leaving now. What a waste of time today. If I had known, I wouldn’t have shown up. School’s about to start, we’ll see each other on campus."

Having said that, they left the room without looking back with Lei Ning.

Qin Ruan knitted her brows and they remained furrowed throughout.

If it were not for the fact that Lei Ning seemed completely normal and not possessed by anything evil, Qin Ruan would have stopped Ling Xiaoxuan at any cost to question her about recent happenings.

The alteration in the senior student was substantial, creating the impression of a completely different person.

Qin Ruan, still concerned, warned Ling Xiaoxuan, whose figure was retreating: "Senior, call me if anything happens."

"Got it."

Ling Xiaoxuan who had just walked out the door waved her hand without turning her head.

After the duo left, Qin Ruan too stepped out of the room.

The layout of Zhenpin Pavilion was indeed grand with great taste demonstrated through the exquisite decorations throughout the venue.

While walking down the palace-like corridor, Qin Ruan’s eyes landed on the male and female attendants stationed at the doorway of the rooms.

They had lifeless expressions, their eyes dull, resembling emotionless robots.

As she passed a room, a handsome and sunny male attendant opened the door to push in a trolley of drinks.

The conversation in the room could be heard clearly.

"You guys didn’t see it, when Xiao Yujie saw the Madam of the Huo Family, he was completely mesmerized."

A familiar male voice, with an exaggerated tone, shared his observation with the others.

"Exactly! I saw that too. She’s just a woman from the slums, so what if she’s pretty? Nothing to be scared about!"

Someone responded, his tone reeking of disdain.

"Indeed, the woman’s looks are pretty impressive. Compared with the women here, none surpass her in terms of appearance."

Another man chimed in with a chuckle, "Indeed, that short-lived ghost is quite lucky. Have you guys heard that she’s pregnant? I’m not sure if the child belongs to the Huo Family."

Followed by lively gossip, "Really? Is this a sham? Even if the poor soul from the Huo Family looks weak, he wouldn’t be incapable."

"You probably don’t know this, but that short-lived ghost is so weak that even a gust of wind could put her in bed."

"Could he really have been cuckolded?"

Their callous remarks were absolutely distasteful.

Someone there sighed, "One cannot say... One cannot really say..."

The room went silent all of a sudden. The male attendant had pushed in the drinks cart.

"Hahaha!!!"

"Hahaha!!!!!!"

The room promptly exploded with laughter.

Rong Menglan heard the conversation taking place in the room and the usually passionate and entrancing eyes widened in disbelief.

These folks had absolutely no fear of death.

The status of Young Master Huo was beyond their league, even with his frail health, he was not one to be mocked.

The Huo Family was notorious for their protective nature and always conducted themselves with dignity amongst the elite families.

But once offended, the retribution would be a fate worse than death.

Especially considering the person in their discussion was the most respected person in the Huo Family, Young Master Huo.

Young Master Huo was the only legitimate descendant of the third generation of the Huo Family. He was the unparalleled Crown Prince among the young generation.

Qin Ruan was ready to leave when the conversation inside the room reached her ears, stopping her in her tracks.

The offensive conversation infuriated her. Anger and ominous aura emanated from her, beyond her usual control.

Qin Ruan glanced back and signalled the guard from the Huo Family who immediately rushed forward, eager to barge through the door.

As the male attendant stepping into the room was about to close the door, a hand pressed forcefully against it.

The attendant inside the room, his vacant eyes filled with being flustered, stared helplessly at the Huo Family’s guard who had aggressively pushed the door open.

The guard pushed away the attendant blocking the doorway and strode in, his menacing aura permeating the room.

The laughter inside the room halted abruptly, countless eyes fixated on the man who had stormed in.

At this point, the guard inside the room moved aside, allowing the other guards, including Lin Hao from the Huo Family, to rush into the room swiftly.

They stood in two lines at the entrance.

"Who are you?!"

The man sitting in the center of the sofa in the room stood up.

As soon as his questioning voice fell, Qin Ruan walked into the room with steady and composed steps.

Her appearance was pure and sweet, her beautiful eyes were calm as water, and the bottom of her eyes were covered in eternal frost.

A pair of eyes in the room all turned to her.

The gazes of these men and women on Qin Ruan were filled with astonishment, jealousy, and covetousness.

Qin Ruan swept her gaze over everyone in the room, finally landing on the only man who stood up in the room.

This man turned out to be the young man who had come with Xiao Yujie and had been kicked by him.

When he saw that it was Qin Ruan, the color in his eyes fluttered anxiously.

Thinking about the topic everyone had previously discussed, his face paled slightly.

Qin Ruan’s red lips curled into a sinister smile, her face gloomy, "What’s your name?"

"How... How did you get in?"

The man dared not announce his name at this time. He couldn’t wait to leave this place of trouble.

They often discussed Master Huo in their daily lives. This was the first time they had been caught red-handed, especially by the madam herself.

The man wasn’t afraid of Qin Ruan, but he couldn’t underestimate the hidden guards of the Huo family.

A woman on the left spoke up, "Who is this person?"

With a superior tone, full of hostility.

If you look closely at her gaze on Qin Ruan, you can see jealousy and envy, as well as a trace of malice.

Then someone complained, "This is so rude, since when did the people from Zhenpin Pavilion become so unruly?"

There were also men eyeing Ruan Ruan, "The young lady is quite good-looking, come to brother’s arms, brother will give you a loving hug."

The way those men were eyeing Qin Ruan was truly irritating.

Qin Ruan’s eyes were gloomy, and her small, delicate face was full of sternness.

Her cold and pleasant voice rang out, "Lin Hao, close the door."

"Yes, Madam!"

Lin Hao walked to the door and saw Rong Menglan and his cousin Rong Jing standing outside.

He politely asked, "Would you like to come in?"

Rong Menglan was gentle and elegant, laughing softly, "This should be the Huo family’s affair, and we shouldn’t disturb."

Lin Hao nodded and closed the door under their watchful gaze.

He walked back to Qin Ruan, and only heard her cold and detached voice, "Let those who just spoke shut their mouths."

Lin Hao acknowledged the order, leading a few hidden guards forward quickly, and swiftly subdued those men and women who had been disrespectful to Qin Ruan.

As they wanted to shout for help or curse, the hidden guards and Lin Hao skillfully struck their necks with their palms.

Their expressions were astonished, full of disbelief.

Slowly, their eyelids closed, their bodies went limp, and they slumped on the sofa or on the expensive carpet above the floor.

Qin Ruan watched all this with cold eyes, a strong black evil qi emanating from her body, and her eyes were full of tiny radiant stars, arrogantly showing her edge.

Her lips curled up in a sinister arc, and her cold voice questioned the crowd, "Why are you not saying anything now? Weren’t you talking quite spiritedly just now?"

The young man leading shook with fear, stammering to defend himself, "Madam Huo, we were just fooling around just now, we didn’t mean any disrespect, you being an adult shouldn’t remember a small person’s mistake..."

Before he could finish, Qin Ruan cut him off coldly, "I’m not a magnanimous person, I am a woman, the same woman you referred to as a short-lived ghost."

"You, are you that commoner wife Master Huo married?!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, the tone of his voice full of disbelief and drunkenness.

"Damn, she’s really beautiful!"

"Such a short-lived being... is quite lucky—"

These people must have been drunk, they didn’t change much even when Lin Hao and his men knocked out the men and women who were disrespectful to Qin Ruan.

They appeared to have no sense of crisis, all looking indifferent as if it wasn’t their problem.

Now everyone knew that Qin Ruan was the wife of the third young master of the Huo Family, they dared to say anything freely.

This time, there was no need for Qin Ruan to speak. The Hidden Guard of the Huo Family who was nearest to them, skillfully restrained the outspoken person.

"Slap him!" Qin Ruan’s icy voice rang out.

The sound of slaps echoed continuously within the room.

They wanted to cry out for help, but the Hidden Guard had already covered their mouths.

Even the opportunity for them to open their mouths to alleviate the pain was taken away.

This was really relieving!

Qin Ruan’s eyes, cold as ice, swept over the crowd in the room who were somewhat sobered up by this scene.

She retorted with an icy, grim, and intimidating tone, "Go on, why have you stopped? Continue, I’m listening."

The young man who knew Xiao Yujie had never been more dumbfounded.

The slight drunkenness from the wine had long disappeared due to fear.

He pleaded, "Madam Huo, we were wrong, we shouldn’t have disrespected the third master. Please let us go. We promise we won’t gossip about the third master again."

Qin Ruan laughed. She raised her finger and waved it towards the pleading man, "How did you guys make a mistake? You didn’t do anything wrong."

"Since you did nothing wrong, it seems you’ve cuckolded the third master of Huo. If you can accompany others, why not accompany us for some fun too!"

A drunk man on the far left, reeking of alcohol, began uttering obscene words and shaky started marching towards Qin Ruan.

His steps were staggered and it seemed to everyone that he would fall any moment.

Perhaps it was the beauty that kept him focused, the fat man managed to balance himself each time he was about to fall. He stumbled and staggered but somehow made his way in front of Qin Ruan without falling.

"Beautiful lady, you’re truly beautiful."

The man reached out to Qin Ruan, salivating, "Such a stunning beauty that even the third master can’t sleep with. What a pity. Come to brother, let me show you tonight what it’s like to...."

Enjoy.

He didn’t get the chance to finish his last word.

"Bang!"

The fat man’s body suddenly flew up, hitting a black marble table in the room.

Qin Ruan’s face was expressionless as she slowly withdrew the foot she had kicked out.

She put her flat-soled shoe back on the ground.

"Ah! It hurts! It’s killing me!"

The fat man was sprawled out on the floor, clutching his waist, and couldn’t even crawl up.

He lay there howling in pain, twisting his fat body like a worm, in a miserable state.

As the fat man wailed, Qin Ruan cast her eyes down.

She frowned at a speck of dust that had settled on her shoe.

After a while, Qin Ruan tsked softly, "Dirty."

Her statement was absurd, and no one dared to respond.

She resorted to violence without any reason, and with just one kick, she sent the nearly six-foot, almost 200-pound fat man flying.

This woman was too brutal!

The young man standing across from her, he remembered how he had been kicked by Xiao Yujie.

He stepped back, bumping his calf against the sofa behind him.

This man was so afraid that Qin Ruan’s next kick would be aimed at him, and he would become stuck in the wall, unable to get out.

I thought she was pregnant. How could she still be so strong?

She wasn’t like a woman at all; she was more like a superhuman.

Too terrifying!

He wanted to go home, to hug his beautiful girl, and seek solace for his deeply traumatized heart.

Qin Ruan raised her eyes, her cold gaze focused on the fat man on the floor.

Her voice, icy and indifferent, echoed in everyone’s ears.

"If something is dirty, it’s good to throw it away. But if something is broken, it needs to be properly fixed."
