Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 771: Huo Family Cousins, Each More Ferocious Than The Last.

Chapter 771: Chapter 771: Huo Family Cousins, Each More Ferocious Than The Last.

What Lu Yichen told Qin Ruan previously was the truth.

Each and every person in attendance tonight was deeply connected with the Huo family.

They were either part of the affiliated families of the Huo family or shared an inseparable relationship of mutual interests, all highly deferential towards the Huo family.

Qin Mei staggered his way to Qin Ruan. Tonight, he left without Xueqiu, and after being forced to drink so much, the Second Young Master Qin was unhappy.

He stood next to Qin Ruan, taking her wrist and making his unsteady way toward the entrance.

Lu Yichen immediately tried to stop him: "Hey, Qin Mei, where are you taking your junior sister?"

Qin Mei’s damp eyes glared at Lu Yichen; a cold smile appeared on his face: "Don’t you dare try to get Ruanruan drunk! A bunch of people bullying a woman, aren’t you ashamed?"

Even though he was unsteady on his feet, he still positioned himself protectively in front of Qin Ruan.

Looking at Qin Mei’s state, Lu Yichen knew he was drunk.

As his conscience bore witness, after hanging up the phone with Qin Ruan, he had returned to the private room to dissuade the others from being too enthusiastic towards the Second Young Master Qin and as a result stopped everyone from pouring him more drinks.

Regrettably, he was a step too late, who knew Qin Mei’s alcohol tolerance was so poor.

Lu Yichen coaxed gently: "Who would dare to get Madam Huo drunk? Let’s sit down and chat, and you can sober up?"

"The weasel pays a New Year visit to the chicken!" Qin Mei pointed a finger at Lu Yichen: "You bastard poured me six glasses of wine; don’t think I don’t remember!"

Lu Yichen subconsciously touched the tip of his nose; previously he couldn’t pry Qin Ruan’s preferences out of Qin Mei, so he thought about getting him drunk, as perhaps then he might give away some information.

Who would have guessed this damned little (bastard) just played dumb!

Ling Xiaoxuan came over to mediate: "Junior sister just came, there’s no need to rush leaving, we rarely get together so could the Second Young Master Qin give us some face?"

Qin Ruan took out a handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped the sweat off the second brother’s forehead.

In front of everyone, she stated softly: "Second brother, if I don’t want to drink, no one can force me. Lin Hao has gone to buy hangover medicine, let’s sit down and rest for a while first?"

Qin Mei’s gaze, lacking focus, rested on Qin Ruan for a good while before he slowly responded: "You’re not drinking?"

"Not drinking!" The sound of Qin Ruan’s declaration echoed in everyone’s ears.

A gentle voice instantly piped in: "Not drinking is good too. Every time we come here and end up drunk as a lord, returning home to sleep and waking up with a splitting headache the next day, it’s unbearable."

Someone chimed in, "Right, drinking is boring. We’re all so close there’s no need for formalities."

"That’s the logic!"

Lu Yichen looked over at the opened bottles of wine on the table, each bottle was not cheap.

He murmured, "Shall we pack it up?"

Everyone turned to the Qin siblings.

They were also a bit scared deep down.

Getting the brother of Madam Huo drunk, they didn’t know if she would come to settle scores.

A cunning person spoke up: "Pack it up!"

"Pack it up!"

"Pack it up!"

The crowd echoed in unison.

Lu Yichen opened the room door, asked the waiter outside to take away the alcohol, and ordered some food and special drinks.

Soon, all the alcoholic drinks in the room were packed up and taken away.

Qin Ruan had already taken Qin Mei’s hand, picking a quiet spot to sit down.

Qin Mei truly had not drunk a little tonight; his face flushed red from the alcohol.

He leaned his head on the back of the sofa, his hand still gripping Qin Ruan’s wrist, evidently afraid that she would be bullied.

Seeing this, Ling Xiaoxuan recalled similar memories.

There was also someone who used to protect her so diligently. As they grew up, the physical affection subsided.

But that tender care was evident in every detail of her life.

Seeing Qin Mei holding Qin Ruan’s hand tightly, she sighed: "Your second brother, who is the same age as you, cares about you so deeply."

Qin Ruan tilted her head to look at Qin Mei, replying softly: "He is my second brother."

At that moment, someone walked up to Qin Ruan.

This person was gentle and polite, with a soft demeanor, holding a glass of juice in his hand, naturally placed it in front of Qin Ruan.

"Miss Qin."

Not Madam Huo, but Miss Qin.

Qin Ruan looked up to see a man with pleasant features.

She laughed, "Mr. Lei."

Lei Ning also flashed a smile, his posture relaxed as he sat next to Qin Ruan, "The food from Yejue’s kitchen isn’t bad, would you like to taste some of it?"

He pointed to the dish that the Yejue waiter brought in, it was filled with exquisite delicacies.

Qin Ruan shook her head, "I’ve already eaten."

Lei Ning nodded slightly and didn’t say anything more.

So, he just sat next to Qin Ruan, keeping a certain distance between them.

Qin Ruan studied him, noticing that his attire was more elaborate than before and his aura was different from the past.

"Mr. Lei, it seems you’ve been doing quite well recently?"

Lei Ning’s sole purpose in coming over was to maintain a presence in Qin Ruan’s eyes, to ensure she didn’t forget him.

The fact that Qin Ruan initiated the conversation was a pleasant surprise for him.

His smile deepened, "I’m doing okay. After all, having experienced certain things once, it becomes easier to handle the second time."

Qin Ruan nodded, "That’s good, I’m not interested in dealing with a mess."

Lei Ning’s eyes brightened, and he straightened his back.

He stared at Qin Ruan’s smiling eyes, clear as day.

Finding no hint of playfulness in them, Lei Ning solemnly nodded, "Miss Qin will soon see my sincerity."

Qin Ruan picked up the juice on the table and raised it towards Lei Ning.

"I’ll wait and see." Her tone was nonchalant,

The room became quiet once again, all eyes landed on Qin Ruan and Lei Ning.

Who would have thought that someone from the third-tier Lei Family would be familiar with Qin Ruan, even Lu Yichen was a bit surprised.

Seeing that the Lei Family was getting along with Qin Ruan, others began to get restless.

They flocked to Qin Ruan, one after another, to say hello.

Women were the first ones to come over, acting a bit restrained at the beginning because they didn’t understand Qin Ruan’s temperament and weren’t sure how to engage her in conversation.

Facing Qin Ruan felt more intense than dealing with the elders in their families.

It didn’t matter about her past humble status; her current position was completely different.

She was the wife of Master Huo, the future matriarch of the Huo Family. Having the Huo Family, a massive behemoth, backing Qin Ruan was daunting.

Luckily Ling Xiaoxuan was there, it didn’t take long before the women started to chat freely.

The moment they started discussing Master Huo, the atmosphere changed.

One of the girls, her eyes sparkling, asked Qin Ruan, "Master Huo doesn’t seem to smile much, he’s frigid like a winter refrigerator, do you feel a lot of pressure being around him?"

"Master Huo loves to smile." Qin Ruan couldn’t help but retort.

After pausing momentarily, she added, "He’s very gentle. There’s no pressure or discomfort around him."

Master Huo was always smiling when he was with her.

He treated her well, so well that she had already dropped her defenses and completely succumbed to his gentleness.

Not to mention the women whose astonished mouths hung open slightly, everyone else’s gaze toward Qin Ruan subtly changed as well.

They questioned if the person Qin Ruan was describing was the same Master Huo they were discussing.

Someone gentle and easy to be around was not the same as the Master Huo they knew.

Others may not know, but these people were clear, Master Huo was calculated and ruthless.

For him to assume control as the next Head of the Huo Family wasn’t just because of his direct lineage.

No matter how gentle and courteous he appeared in public, this man was cunning and unpredictable.

At such a young age, he was already in control of life and death.

When compared with the cruel, brazen second young master of the Huo Family, Master Huo’s cunning was equally, if not more, cruel.

It was rumored that due to his weak physical condition, his personality was unpredictable. One second he could be all smiles, and the next, he could be sentencing you to death.

Not a single person here hadn’t been sternly warned by their family elders to never offend the second and third masters of the Huo Family in Capital City.

The two cousins were ruthless, a fate worse than death awaited those who fell into their hands.

The women looked at Qin Ruan’s innocent face, tinged with a touch of allure, and couldn’t help but chuckle for the serious attitude.

The topic of Master Huo was quickly brushed aside, and the conversation shifted to other interesting matters.

However, knowing about Master Huo’s gentleness and good temper from Qin Ruan still astonished the crowd.
