Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!

Chapter 655: Chapter 655 Dialogue between intelligent people, battle of high IQs

Qin Ruan had met Rong Jing’s older cousin before.

He was a man with a pair of mandarin duck eyes, modest as jade, who appeared very serious, and he was gentle to the core.

Her gaze scrutinizing Rong Jing, she faintly nodded, "Pretty good, you look... quite dignified and much more mature."

Rong Jing slightly lifted his brows, concealing the youthful mischief in his maturity, "Really? I also feel this outfit makes me look elite."

A mere few words, and Rong Jing’s true personality was exposed.

Fu Yinru’s gaze landed on Rong Jing, asking, "Who is this?"

Rong Jing waved his hand with a laugh on his face, "Just an insignificant person, nowhere near as prestigious as you, young master Fu."

Qin Ruan’s lips curved into a smile as she introduced, "His name is Rong Jing, the seventh of the Rong family."

Although Rong Jing came from a side branch of the Rong family, he had been included in the main line of the family tree, making him part of the aristocratic family nonetheless.

A look of understanding appeared on Fu Yinru’s face, as he politely extended his hand to Rong Jing, saying, "Young master Rong."

Rong Jin, despite his playful behavior around Qin Ruan, was more restrained in front of the prestigious young master Fu.

He shook Fu Yinru’s hand with a chuckle, "You flatter me Master Fu, I’m just a man leading an ordinary life."

Rong Jing always knew his place, understanding his own value.

Although called Young Master Rong, he was actually just a man living a carefree life off his father’s wealth, without any contribution to the Rong family.

An amused light flickered in Fu Yinru’s eyes, "Young Master Rong is indeed humorous."

Before coming to the Capital City, he and his father had investigated the four great families and the other five aristocratic families.

The Rong family was insignificant among the aristocratic families, but they still had some knowledge about its movements.

Rong Jing wasn’t really a significant figure, but his father was.

His father was a genius merchant. Over many years, the Rong family’s financial problems were all handled by him.

The reason why Rong Jing was included in the main lineage of the Rong family was not clearly known yet, but it definitely wasn’t because of wealth.

While Fu Yinru was conversing with Rong Jing, Qin Ruan felt a strong gaze directed towards her.

She turned her head and locked eyes with Su Jingshu.

Caught in the act, the latter was not embarrassed but smiled friendly at Qin Ruan.

Recalling Su Jingshu’s words earlier, Qin Ruan walked over, "Miss Su, are you satisfied watching the play?"

A surprise flickered in Su Jingshu’s eyes, "Does Madam Huo always talk so straightforwardly?"

Shards of starlight sparkled in Qin Ruan’s eyes, arrogant and flamboyant, her sharpness plainly visible.

She slowly responded, "I’m not the type to beat around the bush."

Su Jingshu chuckled and chose to remain silent.

Now she saw that Qin Ruan was not the compliant woman she seemed to be.

Seemingly harmless, but cunning in reality.

In their previous encounters, she could only say that she had underestimated her.

Leaning against the railing of the balcony, Qin Ruan seemed relaxed and languid, "Miss Su, you mentioned earlier that a woman shouldn’t argue with others to avoid appearing unrefined, right?"

Su Jingshu’s brows twitched slightly. Was this an attempt to settle old scores?

She nodded, "That’s correct."

Women of their status were never seen arguing publicly - it was crude and displayed a lack of manners.

However, in private, the number of devious methods they employed was inexhaustible.

Qin Ruan laughed, her eyes focusing sharply as they lifted.

The calm in her eyes faded as she looked at Su Jingshu sincerely, " So regardless of their status, a woman should avoid arguing and just get physical. Overpowering them physically is the best way to teach them a lesson and remind them of their place, don’t you think so, Miss Su?"

The odd fury in Su Jingshu’s eyes when she cursed the third master’s early demise did not escape Qin Ruan’s notice.

Just a moment ago, this same woman was telling her that arguing was a crude behavior, only to engage in it herself, proving to be cruder.

Su Jingshu’s behaviour was too hard for Qin Ruan to overlook.

If Su Jingshu was intending to intrude in her peaceful life, Qin Ruan would not hold back.

Su Jingshu’s eyes narrowed slightly, her smiling face drew into a more serious expression as she said meaningfully, "Madam Huo is indeed straightforward. No wonder third master adores and cherishes you so."

Conversations between two clever individuals never touch the crux of the matter. Instead, they pack hidden meanings which truly engage the intellect.

Both understood the underlying implications in the other’s words, which had double meanings.

Qin Ruan pulled back a lock of hair from her ear, speaking softly, "It can’t be helped, after all, who could resist my tenderness and obedience, resulting in his affection for me."

Even she was disgusted by her own words, but if it annoyed Su Jingshu, she felt it was worth it.

Su Jingshu’s lips twitched and she held a complicated gaze towards Qin Ruan.

After a while, she finally said, "I hope you remain obedient."

Qin Ruan gave her a gentle smile, "Naturally."

"I must bid farewell first."

Su Jingshu hastily left without even bidding farewell to Fu Yinru.

If she didn’t leave now, she was afraid she might get angered to death by Qin Ruan.

This woman really hides behind a thick skin and is smarter than she initially thought.

The third master really treated Qin Ruan well, she had learned that last time at the Huo mansion.

Just thinking about their lovey-dovey daily life, Su Jingshu felt annoyed and a desire to create havoc emerged.

Shortly after Su Jingshu departed, Fu Yinru also excused himself.

Lu Yichen, Rong Jing, Long Xinzhao, and Gu Qingqing were the only ones remaining.

Since Qin Ruan didn’t feel like mingling with the youngsters of these families at the moment, she decided to retreat as she had stayed at the party long enough.

She approached Lu Yichen, "Senior, where did the second master go?"

"He went to the banquet hall and is talking to the head of the Fu family."

The thought of their conversation topic made Lu Yichen rather resistant.

Qin Ruan nodded, and told the rest, "I’m not feeling well, I’ll take my leave now, carry on."

Lin Hao and Huo Qiang followed behind her as the trio left the VIP room.

"I’ll walk you out!"

Lu Yichen coldly declared from his spot, quickly catching up to Qin Ruan.

After a moment of thought, Long Xinzhao also followed.

Seeing this, Rong Jing was unwilling to be left behind and hurried after them.

Only Gu Qingqing was left behind, her gaze following Qin Ruan’s receding figure with complexity.

The banquet hall was bustling with activity.

All the important figures from the Capital City had been invited, men and women dressed impeccably, arm in arm with handsome or beautiful partners, mingling in the banquet hall.

Much more cheerful and chatty guests were mingling within the hall compared to when Qin Ruan arrived.

Seeing this, Lu Yichen spoke to Qin Ruan, "You’re looking for the second Master Huo, right?"

Looking at the crowd, Qin Ruan’s face darkened, and she nodded at Lu Yichen.

Lu Yichen frowned, suggesting, "I’ll go and get Huo, your current health means you shouldn’t move much. Why don’t you sit somewhere and wait?"

Qin Ruan, affected by the chaotic mix of high-grade perfumes and the smell of alcohol wafting through the air, shook her head.

"No need, I’ll wait outside. It’s too noisy in here."

"Alright, I’ll find him as quickly as I can."

Lu Yichen stepped into the crowd before he finished speaking.

Qin Ruan, accompanied by Lin Hao and Huo Qiang, left the banquet hall.

Sharing a glance, Long Xinzhao and Rong Jing silently followed behind, by and by in silence.
