Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 583: Madam San Shao’s words, Jing Shu will definitely keep in mind

Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Madam San Shao’s words, Jing Shu will definitely keep in mind

A proud cold smile hovered over Huo Yirong’s handsome face, his aura arrogantly bumptious and overwhelmingly domineering.

Su Jingshu’s deep eyes stared intently at him.

She opened her mouth in a heavy voice: "Second Master, all the past grievances and grudges are my fault. There’s no need to involve other people.

Despite the errors of the Su family over the years, they have mostly been law-abiding. I don’t understand, what you meant by those words just now?"

Huo Yirong, looking lazy, teased: "I don’t mean anything, I just feel a bit idle lately, so I’m looking for something to do to kill time."

Upon hearing his words, Su Jingshu was so furious that she could no longer hold back her delicate makeup-laden face.

She spat at Huo Yirong’s name in her heart, anger surging in her eyes.

This man was spouting nonsense.

The A-level operation that Huo Family launched against the Nangong Family recently has had a significant impact on all walks of life in the Capital City.

Huo Yirong personally dealt with these subsequent issues faced by the Nangong Family.

He was very busy every day and even let go of his businesses in the HEA Group.

A while ago, a foreign noble wanted to meet Huo Yirong, but because he couldn’t find him, the huge business deal was delayed.

All forces keeping an eye on the movements of the Huo family were fully aware of this situation.

Now, Huo Yirong said he had too much free time, like hell anyone would believe him!

Su Jingshu took a deep breath, her voice striving to remain calm, and asked, "Please speak clearly, Second Master."

She wanted to know what this unpredictable man was up to.

Last night, he clearly let her off the hook. Why is he here today, making her life difficult?

Could it be that he had a change of heart?

Huo Yirong propped his head with one hand, his body leaning toward Qin Ruan.

He spoke casually, yet with a hint of earnestness: "I know what Miss Su is capable of. You’re ruthless and profit-driven, capable of murder and deceit."

Su Jingshu remained silent, not refuting his words.

Huo Yirong stared at her calm face, his tone turning harsh: "All these years, you must know where the bottom line of the Huo family is located.

Su Jingshu, if you harbor any inappropriate thoughts or target someone you shouldn’t, I assure you that the end of the Su family will be worse than that of the Nangong family."

The last sentence, every word, was filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent.

Su Jingshu’s eyes widened slightly, staring at Huo Yirong in disbelief.

Noticing Huo Yirong occasionally glancing at Qin Ruan while speaking, she instantly understood everything.

So that’s what it was!

He thought she was planning to harm Qin Ruan or the child in her womb who belonged to the Third Master Huo.

A sense of bitterness surfaced on Su Jingshu’s face, and her tense body relaxed.

Her eyes became desolate as she slowly lowered her head.

After a long time, Su Jingshu raised her head.

She spoke peacefully and sincerely, "Second Master, you worry too much."

"I hope so," Huo Yirong snorted coldly.

Don’t think he didn’t notice. When this woman was ogling Qin Ruan’s belly, her fervent eyes reflected a weird glint.

Su Jingshu was unscrupulous to achieve her goals. As long as she wanted something, she never failed to get it.

After laying the groundwork for ten years, she finally obtained Nangong Chang.

He had investigated all the details of this matter very thoroughly.

A woman like Su Jingshu, a well-bred Missy, wasn’t Nangong Chang’s type.

To cater to his preferences, she sacrificed a lot.

There was nothing this woman wouldn’t do. She was ruthless enough to pull off anything.

After his anger subsided last night, Huo Yirong reflected on himself.

He couldn’t cause trouble for his siblings just because he was unravelling the truth from ten years ago.

If Su Jingshu targeted his third brother, given her underhanded tactics, it would truly be a spectacle at that time.

Any potential danger must be extinguished in the cradle when it emerges.

Seeing both of them fall silent, Qin Ruan finally lifted her eyes.

After watching the tense standoff between the two for half a day, she understood something.

Huo Yirong was threatening Su Jingshu to protect her.

Today’s Su Jingshu was acting contrary to her usual self, her haughty bearing she had when she first met him at the Huo Mansion was nowhere to be seen.

Qin Ruan’s clear and pleasant voice slowly rang out, "I’ve had my tea. Can I go and see Nangong Chang now?"

It was unclear who she was asking.

Su Jingshu snapped back to reality, immediately ordering, "Bei Jinzhou, lead them upstairs."

"Yes, Miss——"

Bei Jinzhou stepped forward, extending his hand to Huo Yirong and Qin Ruan, "Second Master, Madam, please follow me."

Huo Yirong got up to help Qin Ruan stand.

Qin Ruan’s belly was getting bigger day by day. It really looked like she was about to give birth.

Today, Huo Yirong had been with her the whole time, helping her up the stairs and escorting her when she walked.

Su Jingshu sat on the sofa and didn’t get up to follow.

She looked at the receding figures of Huo Yirong and Qin Ruan, a restrained sparkle appeared in her eyes.

Those tears, one by one, fell onto her lotus-coloured qipao.

The servants around saw this and withdrew one after another.

This scene was not their place to witness.

...

Upstairs.

Huo Yirong and Qin Ruan were led by Bei Jinzhou into the room where Nangong Chang was staying.

The room was comfortable, with high-end medical equipment at the head of Nangong Chang’s bed.

From this, it could be seen that Su Jingshu still had feelings for Nangong Chang.

Upon seeing the situation inside, Huo Yirong’s eyes flickered slightly, a look of surprise on his face.

He didn’t know that all this had been prepared by Bei Jinzhou.

Bei Jinzhou knew about Su Jingshu’s feelings for Nangong Chang. From the moment he brought him back last night, he had his men be extra careful.

Qin Ruan approached the bedside, lowering her gaze to observe Nangong Chang, who lay on the bed.

His eyes were originally shut, but perhaps hearing someone enter the room, he slowly opened them.

Locked-in syndrome, a clinical syndrome caused by lesions at the base of the pons.

Nangong Chang now has no spontaneous speech, able to express his thoughts only by opening and closing his eyelids and moving his eyeballs.

His limbs are completely paralyzed, with no hindrance to his understanding of speech, and his skin sensation also exists.

This locked-in syndrome is an acute and severe syndrome, the progression is long, hard to cure.

Nangong Chang might as well be waiting for death now.

Qin Ruan stood by the bedside, looking at the desire for life in Nangong Chang’s eyes, so humble and pitiful.

This man can no longer appear arrogant, he is now just a pitiful creature.

Qin Ruan leaned down, closing in on Nangong Chang and gazing directly into his trembling pupils.

"Nangong Chang, I’m going to ask you some questions. Blink if the answer is yes, if not, you don’t have to do anything. Do you understand?"

Nangong Chang blinked.

"Very good."

Qin Ruan was very satisfied.

She asked, "Did you see any supernatural events before getting sick, like evil spirits?"

Nangong Chang blinked rapidly.

A flash of horror emerged from his eyes, as if he had recalled some horrific memory.

Qin Ruan nodded, "Is your current illness caused by them?"

Nangong Chang blinked again; his eyes staring straight at Qin Ruan.

The gaze was complex and filled with expectancy.

It was as if he saw her as his savior.

Qin Ruan licked her lips and asked, "Do you know what those entities look like?"

Nangong Chang blinked again.

Huo Yirong stood aside, his arms crossed, leaning against the wall, looking languid.

However, Bei Jinzhou was stunned by the series of questions posed by Qin Ruan.

What was this woman trying to do?

Why didn’t he understand the questions she asked?

Learning that Nangong Chang’s illness was caused by evil spirits, Qin Ruan’s lips slowly curved into a smile.

She took out a piece of withered wood from her pocket and dangled it in front of Nangong Chang.

Before she could ask, Nangong Chang’s eyes contracted as if he had seen something terrifying.

If he could speak, Qin Ruan guessed he would surely exclaim in alarm.

Qin Ruan’s lips curled into a smirk tinged with deep intent," It looks like you recognize this thing."

Qin Ruan took back the withered wood, her icy gaze fixed on Nangong Chang, "Final question, is the evil spirit who killed your father and left you paralyzed in bed, similar to a tree in its original form?"

Nangong Chang blinked frantically, tears seeping from the corners of his eyes.

Having gotten her answer, Qin Ruan looked at Huo Yirong.

"Brother Rong, I have finished asking. Let’s go."

Huo Yirong nodded, walked up, supported her arm, and walked out of the door.

Although Bei Jinzhou did not understand why Qin Ruan asked those strange questions that made him question her sanity.

But he understood the last words.

The death of the Nangong Family Head, the current condition of Nangong Chang, there are a pair of hands manipulating it behind the scenes.

The arrival of Huo Yirong and Qin Ruan today was to investigate these matters.

After the three of them descended the stairs, the tears on Su Jingshu’s face had already disappeared.

She had even found time to touch up her makeup, and her complexion seemed to have recovered quite a bit.

Seeing the three of them come down, Su Jingshu stood up to greet them.

"Have you seen him?"

She was asking Bei Jinzhou this question.

The latter nodded, wanted to say something, but seeing Huo Yirong and Qin Ruan in front of him, he slowly closed his mouth.

Noticing his hesitation, Su Jingshu looked up at Huo Yirong.

The latter was staring at her with a serious gaze.

With a composed expression, Su Jingshu said, "Second Master, I’ve already instructed the servants to prepare for Nangong Chang’s funeral. He will close his eyes forever in the Su Family."

She was professing her loyalty to the Huo Family.

A deep smile appeared in Huo Yirong’s eyes, "That’s cold."

Whether his words were praise or sarcasm was unclear.

As for Nangong Chang’s fate, Huo Yirong was not surprised.

Su Jingshu put on a gentle and calm smile, "It’s what I should do, after all, people must pay for their own mistakes."

"Hmph!" Huo Yirong responded with a cold snort.

Su Jingshu was able to talk about taking Nangong Chang’s life with such casual indifference, many men must feel inferior to her.

Qin Ruan, who had been ignored, looked up at Su Jingshu upon her words.

"You’ve let go of him?"

Seemingly not expecting Qin Ruan to speak to her, Su Jingshu appeared slightly startled before nodding.

"Yes, I’ve let go. The master from Nanyin Temple once told me that forcibly seeking a connection that doesn’t come naturally is destined to be a stumbling block in my path forward.

The Young Mistress also said that forcefully seeking something that doesn’t belong to you will end in vain."

Su Jingshu’s smile seemed as if she had seen through life.

Her whole persona became gentler, giving off a faint aura of compassion.

Seeing this, Qin Ruan felt uncomfortable.

She furrowed her eyebrows, glanced at Su Jingshu a few times before slowly withdrawing her gaze.

In an indifferent tone, Qin Ruan said, "It’s good that you’re able to let go, I hope that what remains of your blessings can withstand the depletion."

Her words sounded like an advice and a veiled warning.

Su Jingshu laughed softly, "Young Mistress, I will keep your words in my heart."

Her attitude was sincere, and her tone was extremely serious.
