Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Staying away from the woman Qin Ruan could save your life

"You are! You are!"

Ling Xiaoxuan was acting unreasonable as she hopped with rage, pointing the finger at Ling Zeheng.

"I want to be with Lei Ning now, not with you, you icy person!"

Ling Zeheng’s gentle and warm demeanor slightly changed, a sharp light flickering in his deep eyes.

He spoke in a deep voice, "Xiaoxuan, behave. It’s not safe recently, stay at home."

"No!"

Ling Xiaoxuan was full of grievances, feeling nauseous just at the sight of him.

Every extra glance at the man in front of her broke her heart.

Ling Xiaoxuan turned around and walked away, a determined look on her face.

The servants saw this, but they didn’t dare to stop her.

Ling Zeheng stood up and chased after her, pulling on Ling Xiaoxuan’s arm to stop her from leaving the house.

But Ling Xiaoxuan was not someone to be trifled with.

For all these years, her fighting skills were not bad at all.

She launched a sneak attack on Ling Zeheng’s abdomen with her other hand, breaking free from his grip as he bent over, then she ran towards the door.

Ignoring the heavy blow to his abdomen, Ling Zeheng caught up with her again.

This time, he was no longer gentle; he grabbed Ling Xiaoxuan and struck the back of her neck.

The unsuspecting Ling Xiaoxuan slumped, falling into Ling Zeheng’s arms.

"Young Master Heng!"

The servants were distressed.

They immediately approached, looking worriedly at the unconscious Ling Xiaoxuan, "Is the young lady okay?"

Ling Zeheng’s face was ashen, his voice cold, "She’s alright. I’ll take her upstairs to rest. She is not allowed to go out for the next few days. Have someone keep an eye on her 24/7."

"I’ll arrange someone right away."

The servant didn’t understand why Ling Zeheng was doing this.

But he knew that in this house, the only person who treated the young lady well was Young Master Heng.

...

Rong Family’s Residence.

The actions of the Huo Family had left all the major aristocratic families restless that night.

The Rong Family was no exception.

Just a short while ago, the Rong Family had given the Huo Family a clear answer.

Rong Menglan and Rong Jing, the pair of cousins, stood in the courtyard in the cold wind.

"Brother Lan, do you think the Huo Family will succeed?"

Rong Menglan turned his head to look at his cousin beside him.

A faint smile crossed his face, and his phoenix eyes lit up with amusement.

"You should ask how long the Nangong Family can hold on. No family can resist once the Huo Family makes a move. The Nangong Family is doomed not to survive in Capital City."

Rong Jing didn’t fully understand this, so he blinked and asked, "So, does this mean that Qin Ruan won’t get involved?"

"The answer is obvious. The fall of the Nangong Family is predetermined. The fuse is Qin Ruan. The Huo Family initiating a Level A operation is a clear sign of how much they value Qin Ruan."

Rong Jing was half-understanding, "It seems that Qin Ruan’s man really treats her well."

It was more than just treating her well; it was clearly treating Qin Ruan like a treasure.

Rong Menglan let out a slow sigh, a solemn look crossing over his handsome face.

Qin Ruan came out of nowhere and disrupted the long-prepared chess game.

For all these years, it’s clear to anyone with eyes that the Nangong Family had been walking on the edge of disaster.

Within the Rong Family, they had also estimated how far the Nangong Family could go.

They all unanimously believed that next year would spell the final judgement for the Nangong Family.

And then Qin Ruan appeared out of nowhere, disrupting everything.

She, unbelievably, made the Huo Family disrupt their long-prepared chessboard, with their weapon pointed at the Nangong Family at an unstoppable speed.

...

Xiao Family’s Residence.

Ling Xiaoxuan got out of the car and walked straight towards the house.

At the entrance, she saw Liu Jisheng walk out.

Xiao Wenrou said casually, "Oh, you’re here too."

Liu Jisheng assumed that the Second Miss would continue to ignore him as she always had.

However, hearing her unexpectedly speak to him, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He said fearfully, "Second Miss, you know who I am?"

Xiao Wenrou flicked her hair and looked Liu Jisheng up and down.

She said meaningfully, "It’s hard not to know those who are around my elder brother."

"I thought..." Liu Jisheng gave a restless chuckle and scratched his head uncomfortably.

Xiao Wenrou clearly understood his unfinished sentence.

She folded her arms, narrowed her eyes, and slowly said, "I saw you at Yejue Club last time. How is Madam Huo’s temper? Does she tend to get violent easily and lose her temper?"

Liu Jisheng thought for a while, then nodded strongly.

"Seems so. That day, after I left Zhenpin Pavilion with Young Master, I heard she had given someone in a private room a rather brutal lesson."

Xiao Wenrou chuckled, her eyes curved in amusement. "Next time, be on your guard and keep your distance from that woman. It’ll save your life."

With that said, she swung her bag around and sashayed into the house.

Her affectations were as if her tea-drinking character had once again taken over.

Liu Jisheng looked after her, his eyes full of confusion as they followed her enticing figure.

Xiao Wenrou walked into the house, seeing her father and elder brother sitting in the living room.

"Dad, brother, you’re both still awake."

Xiao Yujie sat with his legs propped on the table, crossed over, with a plate of fruit in his arms.

As he ate, he accurately spat out the fruit peel into a waste bin beside him, looking utterly content.

Xiao’s father was wearing his reading glasses, focused on a table full of documents.

Hearing Xiao Wenrou’s voice, the father and son both turned to look at her.

"Wenrou, you’re back."

Xiao’s father’s voice was cold.

His attitude was indifferent, yet a concern that had been hidden in his eyes dissipated at the sight of his daughter’s return.

Xiao Yujie got up on seeing his sister, discarded the fruit plate on the table, and marched towards Xiao Wenrou.

"Let me see if you’ve been hurt. You didn’t allow Nangong Chang, that bastard, to take advantage of you, did you?"

He circled Xiao Wenrou, checking her all over.

Xiao Wenrou casually disposed of her bag on the sofa, and said confidently and defiantly, "Absolutely not. If he dared touch me, I would have ruined him for life!"

"Good job!"

Xiao Yujie gave her a thumbs-up.

He led Xiao Wenrou by hand towards their father, pointing at the documents on the table.

He said proudly, "These are all assets of the Nangong Family, including some businesses they openly operate, which the Huo Family has already permitted us to take over."

"So, it was that easy?" Xiao Wenrou looked skeptical.

She had a feeling that it couldn’t be so simple.

Xiao Yujie responded with a bitter smile, "Of course not. With the downfall of the Nangong Family, a new family will rise."

He guided Xiao Wenrou to a seat and gestured towards his father, who was still perusing the papers.

Xiao’s father removed his reading glasses and looked solemnly at his daughter.

"Wenrou, the Fu Family from the south may be coming."

"The Fu Family?" Xiao Wenrou frowned.

The Fu Family was one of the top aristocracies of the south, essentially local royalty, a stronghold.

The Fu family’s influence spanned the entire southern continental territory and was a considerable headache for those in power.

In ancient times, they would be regarded near the level of a feudal prince.

Xiao Wenrou felt uneasy. If the Fu Family arrived, their enormous resources would push them to the top of the six aristocratic families.

"Dad, is this news reliable?"

Xiao’s father nodded, "Quite reliable."

Xiao Wenrou furrowed her brows, looking at her father. "What do you mean?"

Xiao’s father said calmly, "The Huo Family’s favor towards the Xiao Family requires some show of goodwill from us. The eldest young master of the Fu Family is still unmarried."
