Chapter 650: Chapter 650: The Third Master is delicate and weak, needing careful care

Su Jingshu’s haughty demeanor, the condescending tone in her words, short of pointing directly at Qin Ruan’s nose, implying that she was not worthy of Master Huo.

Her insinuation was, Qin Ruan was only accepted into the Huo family due to the child in her stomach.

Qin Ruan chuckled lightly, her lips turned up in a restrained curve, her chin tilting up unconsciously.

"Su Jingshu, you also mentioned ’if’. Without this supposition, the fact that I’m with Master Huo remains. Regardless of how I met Master Huo, he is now mine and I will not allow anyone to covet him."

Su Jingshu smirked, "What if I insist?"

Insist on what?

Insist on causing trouble, with fanciful dreams of winning over Master Huo?

A hint of pity flashed in Qin Ruan’s eyes, a dangerous shadow passed in her deep gaze.

Her delicate face hardened, "Then don’t blame me for being rude."

On the matter of Master Huo, Qin Ruan would not allow anyone to cause trouble.

Whether in her past life or this one, she’s fated to be entangled with Master Huo.

That was destiny, predestined.

Even if Su Jingshu had not mistaken the savior in the past, there was never a possible future between Master Huo and her.

Su Jingshu’s smile slightly fading, her eyes scanning Qin Ruan top to bottom, finally landing on her belly.

She spoke slowly, "You sure have big ambitions." The tone was indescribably sarcastic.

Qin Ruan, elbow resting on the arm of the sofa, propping her head up with one hand, exuded a lazy and relaxed pose.

Her gaze landed on the black cheongsam Su Jingshu was wearing, her voice chilly and indifferent, "Why bother looking for trouble here? If you’re not interested, then don’t stir the waters."

"Heh!" Su Jingshu sneered coldly, "How can you be so sure I am not interested?"

She appeared arrogant, her voice laced with sarcasm, clearly provoked.

Qin Ruan calmly glanced at her, "What exactly do you want?"

If she had to guess before, she would’ve thought Su Jingshu was after Master Huo.

However, their short interaction and Su Jingshu’s attitude gave Qin Ruan the feeling that her intentions were elsewhere.

Su Jingshu’s expression faltered for a moment, before returning to normal.

She lifted her chin slightly, spoke as if she was doing Qin Ruan a favor, "Do you want to know what others think of you?"

Qin Ruan replied indifferently, shaking her head, "No. I don’t, and I don’t care." Why would she care what others thought of her?

Was she so idle and aimless that she needed to make herself upset over others’ opinions?

Staring at Qin Ruan with contemptuous eyes, Su Jingshu said, "It seems you already know that your social status is low, and you’re not worthy of Master Huo. Have you given up?"

Qin Ruan was not buying into this.

She lowered her gaze, continued to snack on nuts, her posture even more superior than Su Jingshu’s.

Qin Ruan’s indifferent attitude, seen by Su Jingshu, caused her to furrow her brows slightly.

Huo Qiang lowered his head, registering the annoyance on Qin Ruan’s face and the mild frown between her brows.

He stepped forward, approaching Su Jingshu with a polite but aloof attitude, "Miss Su, my wife is feeling unwell. Please, if you could step outside."

"Heh!"

Su Jingshu let out a cold laugh and stood up to leave.

After taking a couple of steps, she came back.

She picked up the wine glass that was on the table, her figure swaying flirtatiously as she left.

After Su Jingshu left, Qin Ruan finally let her guard down, her fingers idly playing with the tassels on the couch.

Lin Hao observed her playful gestures, a trace of amusement on his handsome face.

Leaning in, Lin Hao told Qin Ruan softly, "Don’t mind what Su Jingshu said. She enjoys causing trouble for others. If you let her upset you, it would be just what she wants."

Qin Ruan glanced over at him, denying, "I’m not upset."

Lin Hao smiled, watching her play with the tassels on the couch, the expression in his eyes spoke volumes.

Qin Ruan stopped her movements, giving an annoyed twist of her mouth.

As if worried that Lin Hao wouldn’t believe her, she explained, "I’m really not bothered. I’m just a little curious about what others think of me."

Su Jingshu didn’t seem like the type to waste her efforts. Apparently, she tried to pique Qin Ruan’s interest for a reason.

She was just not sure what trouble was lying in wait for her behind this curiosity.

Huo Qiang came back with a respectful tone, "Madam, you do not have to worry about what others think. You are Master Huo’s wife, Mrs. Huo, and no one dares insult you."

"..." Qin Ruan.

"..." Lin Hao.

Both of them gave Huo Qiang a puzzled look.

They seriously suspected that Huo Qiang was adding fuel to the fire.

His words seemed to affirm the underlying message of Su Jingshu’s speech.

Huo Qiang remaining nonchalant standing behind Qin Ruan, had an air of obliviousness about what he just said.

Qin Ruan lightly clicked her tongue, her mood inexplicably soured.

When Su Jingshu left, she was really not bothered by the woman’s probing remarks.

She was not a yuan bill, she couldn’t possibly make everyone like her.

No matter how others perceived her, good or bad, it wouldn’t take a chunk out of her, nor would it impact her current life.

A person, regardless of their status, is only real when at the same time they are liked by some, and disliked by others.

If a person is liked by everyone,

then this person must be hiding something unknown to others.

A real person is liked by some, but also disliked by others at the same time.

Qin Ruan lived in West City for eighteen years. There were plenty who liked her, but also many who despised her.

If she were to care so much about what others thought of her, she wouldn’t have made it this far.

Qin Ruan let out a light sigh, rising to walk towards the balcony on her left.

Lin Hao and Huo Qiang exchanged a glance, then followed suit.

The VIP room had a large balcony, covering dozens of square meters.

It was very quiet here, devoid of the indoor whispers that could disturb Qin Ruan.

She walked over to the wooden table and chairs on the left, standing still for a moment.

Lin Hao and Huo Qiang stood behind her, like quiet and unseen ghosts.

Qin Ruan turned around to stare at them, gesturing for them to leave, "Don’t follow me. Looking at you annoys me. Go find something to do."

With thatsaid, she sat down on a chair cushioned with soft padding, closing her eyes to rest.

The two men who felt rejected exchanged a glance, their faces showing a helpless expression.

Huo Qiang and Lin Hao treaded lightly, leaving the balcony.

They dared not disturb Qin Ruan and could only stand guard outside.

The surroundings sunk into silence, bringing a measure of peace to Qin Ruan’s chaotic heart.

She suddenly opened her eyes. From where she was sitting, she had a perfect view of Lin Hao and Huo Qiang standing outside.

"You two, get further away."

There was a sharpness to Qin Ruan’s tone.

Her temper erupted out of nowhere and lingered on.

Huo Qiang and Lin Hao hesitated briefly before moving further from the balcony.

Watching them leaving, Qin Ruan let out a long sigh.

She knit her brows, her face was cold, and her expression serious as she lifted her head to gaze at the night sky.

At home, she couldn’t lose her temper with Master Huo.

He was frail and needed careful nursing.

Once out, either Huo Qiang or Lin Hao stayed by her side, their roles were subordinates and it was normal for her vent her frustrations on them.

Yet, Qin Ruan was familiar with them and she was unable to vent her wrath on them.

Chasing them away was to keep them from getting dragged in.

Qin Ruan’s delicate eyebrows knitted together, her perfect lips curled into a mockery.

She was completely fine when she came out.

After Su Jingshu’s meddling, her edgy temper bubbled up, refusing to be suppressed.
