Chapter 687: Chapter 687: The third master is a wife controlled man, don’t give him an opportunity to show off his wife

Upon hearing about Qin Ruan, Huo Yunjiao glanced back towards Gongsun Wei.

With his excellent conditioning, a shallow curve tugged at his thin lips.

His voice steady, he said to Gongsun Wei, "Then you should apologize to my wife."

There was no trace of a smile in his deep eyes, which were as tranquil as a well, as if they could devour souls.

Yet Gongsun Wei was fascinated by his intriguing smile, subconsciously stepping close to the man.

Huo Yunjiao’s handsome face was as if crafted from an exquisite painting, under dim light in the hall, the aesthetic drawn was captivating, coupled with his reserved and noble demeanour.

Even if such a man’s life might be hanging by a thread, his fatal attraction for women remains.

Gongsun Wei fell for it, hook, line, and sinker.

She positioned herself beside Huo Yunjiao, slightly leaning towards him, deceptively confiding, "Master, the Mistress seems to hold a grievance against me. Her temper is rather bad, she doesn’t entertain my explanations and behaves rather rudely."

Huo Yunjiao leaned back, glanced at her sideways with a look that was ambiguous with humour, "Indeed, my wife does have a temper but she’s well-behaved. I suppose you must have crossed her line."

Without understanding the full story, he was defending that woman who’d climbed her way out from filth and dust.

Jealousy surged in Gongsun Wei’s heart, her voice elevated, "It’s not my fault, she provoked me first!"

Huo Yunjiao frowned; he reached into his pocket to retrieve a handkerchief, elegantly covering his mouth and nose.

He gazed at Gongsun Wei, his eyes filled with extreme disgust and disapproval.

"You have bad breath, please keep your distance."

"..." Gongsun Wei’s face reddened instantly.

Turning from red to green, then to pale, her face was a spectacle.

If it were any other man who valued women, they would have changed the topic upon noticing Gongsun Wei’s embarrassment.

But Master Huo didn’t let it go.

He furrowed his brows, discontentment in his eyes, his deep, magnetic voice carrying a warning, "Miss, please refrain from speaking ill of my wife in front of me. She’s pregnant and has a temper. And, just so you know, my temper’s even worse than hers."

Gongsun Wei bit her lower lip, Silently resenting, utterly disappointed.

Had Master Huo been bewitched by that woman? He had started defending her even before she had presented her case.

Gongsun Yibo, standing close by, couldn’t keep himself from laughing.

He held his fist to his lips, trying to control the laughter bubbling in his throat.

Despite being a side branch of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Wei must be given some regard due to her position.

But, he still found it amusing.

Everyone knew that Master Huo was modest and well-mannered, carrying the poise of a gentleman.

People were unaware of his cynicism, his ruthless nature, and his cutting words, he certainly wasn’t the kind-hearted man people assumed him to be.

Gongsun Yibo then stood up from his seat, pulling Gongsun Wei to sit next to him.

"Enough, don’t provoke him for no reason. He’s evidently obsessed with his wife. Don’t offer him the chance to show off his wife."

He was unaware about the entanglement between Gongsun Wei and Qin Ruan.

Gongsun Wei was useful to the Gongsun family, they couldn’t afford to offend Master Huo.

Despite her unwillingness, Gongsun Wei sat down obediently.

However, her pitiful and complaining eyes lingered on Master Huo.

...

At the Qin residence.

While Qin Ruan was talking to Qin Anguo, her mobile phone in her pocket beeped, indicating a text message.

She casually retrieved her cellphone from her pocket and opened the message.

A photo taken under dim lighting came into her sight with striking clarity.

A flicker of surprise appeared in Qin Ruan’s eyes, followed quickly by a storm of emotions.

Her face slightly fell and she tightened her eyebrows, a sudden anger emanating from her unchecked.

Qin Anguo noticed this, asked her, "What’s the matter, girl?"

"Nothing serious." Qin Ruan darkened her phone screen, turned her head towards him and smiled,"Dad, I’m afraid I won’t be able to have dinner with you tonight."

For Qin Anguo, dinner didn’t matter, he was more concerned about Qin Ruan, "Are you sure there’s nothing wrong?"

Qin Ruan shook her head,"The issue isn’t big, just that I need to leave, immediately."

The photo that just appeared on her mobile phone screen was playing over and over again in her mind.

Grandpa San was sitting in a dimly lit room, with a woman bending towards him, their poses intimate.

From the close-up camera angle, it looked as though they were kissing.

Qin Ruan couldn’t tell whether it was jealousy or displeasure she was feeling.

Right now, she just felt very suffocated and incredibly annoyed.

Just as Qin Jingcen and Hu Yixian were heading downstairs, they heard that Qin Ruan was leaving.

The heir to the Qin Family frowned, unsatisfied: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? It hasn’t been long since you got here."

Qin Ruan raised her head, the frosty glint in her eyes softened with a hint of laughter. She joked, "But you still have Dad and Sister-in-law here, I’ll leave first."

She grabbed her handbag from the couch and chin-nodded to Lin Hao standing behind her, "Go start the car, I’ll be right there."

Lin Hao nodded, and quickly left.

Qin Jingcen and Hu Yixian descended the stairs, one after another.

The young master of the Qin Family stood in front of Qin Ruan and with a frown, he added, "There’s still work at the company, I have to leave too."

Qin Ruan laughed: "Look who’s talking, you’re just as busy."

"Is it the same?" Qin Jingcen dropped his gaze to Qin Ruan’s belly, his face filled with worry, "Don’t exhaust yourself too much, after the child is born, you can stay at home as long as you want, the back and forth travel will take a toll on your health."

"We’ll see, big brother. I truly am heading out."

Qin Ruan didn’t want to think about the distant future. For now, all she could think about was the intimate picture of Grandpa San with a strange woman.

In addition to the photo, the message also included an address.

She wanted to investigate this herself.

Seeing her anxious expression, Qin Jingcen did not say another word.

Qin Ruan turned around and hugged her father, Qin Anguo, confidently as he stood up.

With a hint of sweetness in her voice, she said, "Dad, I’ll come visit you next time."

Qin Anguo gently patted her shoulder, "Listen to your big brother, don’t keep running around."

Qin Ruan said nothing, but there was a touch of unease in her eyes.

Her family members were the closest people to her, who could spoil her, care for her, and love her unconditionally.

It included Grandpa San. Qin Ruan did not believe that he would get involved with other women.

Although he was in an intimate pose with another woman in the picture, smiling at the woman beside him,

Qin Ruan could clearly see that there was no hint of a smile in Grandpa San’s eyes, his expression clearly distant and resistant.

That’s why Qin Ruan didn’t feel jealous or upset, all she felt was overwhelming anger.

Qin Anguo, Qin Jingcen, and Hu Yixian saw Qin Ruan off all the way to the door and watched her get into the car and leave.

After seeing his darling daughter leave, Qin Anguo did not have any kind words for Qin Jingcen.

"Go, go, go! None of you bother to stick around with this old man who’s halfway in the ground. All you know is work, work, work. When I’m gone one day, you’ll want to accompany me, but there’ll be no one left."

Inevitably, Qin Anguo bore resentment in his heart. He had sons and daughters, but could not enjoy the happiness of a family.

Qin Jingcen was also uncomfortable after hearing this, "Dad, there really is an emergency at the company that needs handling. How about this evening, I’ll bring Ayan over for a meal?"

"Who’s going to save you some food? Just leave me alone to watch my show," Qin Anguo retorted with a sullen look. Yet, his melancholy seemed less intense.

Walking towards the room, as he passed Hu Yixian, he said, "Good boy, come to my place whenever you have time, whatever you like, let Jingcen buy it for you."

"Thank... thank you Uncle."

They’ve just met and he’s already expecting his son to buy things.

Hu Yixian thought, Qin Uncle might be a bit too generous.

Qin Anguo took something out of his pocket and presented it in front of Hu Yixian.

It was an object wrapped in red cloth, the contents unknown.

Qin Anguo unwrapped the red cloth to reveal a jade bracelet of exquisite coloration. "This is a jade bracelet left by Jingcen’s mother. It’s not really worth much, but you can have it as a plaything."

It would be inappropriate to meet her daughter-in-law for the first time without a gift.

After the two of them went upstairs, he took out the jade bracelet that he had treasured for many years, a keepsake from his deceased wife.
