Chapter 807: Chapter 807: The Emergence of a Mystic Master, Madam Huo Sanye
Lu Yichen’s eyebrows raised slightly, "When I just arrived, Rong Jing was still drinking with someone, and he should still be there now."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mei stood up and nodded to Qin Anguo, his elder brother, and the Huo Junxin couple, "I’ll head over first."
Qin’s father instructed, "Drink less."
Qin’s elder brother warned, "Don’t cause trouble."
"Got it!" Qin Mei left with Lu Yichen, the two chatting as they walked away.
Seeing Huo Yunjiao and Qin Ruan not far away, Qin’s second son stopped in his tracks, letting go of the hand that was on Lu Yichen’s shoulder, and hurried over.
"Ruanruan! Happy birthday, second brother has prepared a birthday gift for you, I’ve already had someone send it to your room."
Qin Mei smiled brilliantly, his face seeking praise.
Qin Ruan, with her arm around Huo Yunjiao, said softly, "Thank you, second brother."
If he had a tail, Qin Mei would definitely wag it, "Dad and elder brother also have gifts for you, but surely none as good as mine. You must remember to look when you get back."
"Okay——"
Lu Yichen approached, "Third Master, Third Young Madam."
Qin Ruan’s face smiled unabated, "Second young master Lu, long time no see."
"Happy Birthday."
"Thank you——"
The four did not interact much, as Qin Anguo called his daughter and son-in-law over.
Lu Yichen pulled Qin Mei away.
Once out of his relatives’ sight, Qin Mei immediately turned angry.
He let go off the pull from Lu Yichen, and his handsome and delicate face filled with rage, "You better keep your word, if a second person sees my dark past, I’ll cripple you!"
Lu Yichen snickered, his tone teasing, "So scared of being seen?"
Qin Mei’s neck stiffened, "Isn’t that obvious!"
Thinking of the cross-dressing photo, Qin Mei’s face darkened.
Having the biggest black mark of his life in someone else’s hands, he felt extremely annoyed.
"I will never show it to anyone else," Lu Yichen promised.
What he didn’t say was that Qin Mei’s cross-dressing photo appeared quite novel to him, and it seemed a pity to delete it.
Moreover, using this leverage to occasionally rile up Qin Mei was quite amusing to him.
It might have been a bit childish, but since Qin Mei always took the bait, he felt no remorse for showing no mercy.
Lu Yichen changed the subject, asking, "What do you need from Rong Jing?"
"I heard he knows everyone in the entertainment industry, and I have someone who is looking for a job."
"..." Lu Yichen looked at him speechlessly.
Qin Mei frowned, "What’s the matter?"
"What kind of person deserves your networking for a job, your girlfriend? Once she’s in the messy entertainment industry, don’t regret anything that happens later."
Lu Yichen’s first thought was that Qin Mei had a girlfriend who wanted to get involved in the entertainment industry.
If she ever wants to Enter the door of the Qin Family, that would be a dark history; the unspoken rules set by the entertainment industry could turn the innocent white into tainted black.
Qin Mei glared at Lu Yichen, "What are you thinking? It’s a man!"
Lu Yichen frowned upon hearing this, wondering what kind of relationship had Qin Mei, the second son of the Qin Family, going to such lengths for a friend.
The first to be ruled out were rich family sons; with their status, it was impossible for them not to have connections, and such people wouldn’t willingly degrade themselves by entering the entertainment industry.
So it could only be someone ordinary without a background.
Ordinary people are always envious of the glitz and glamor of the entertainment industry; it’s a shortcut to power and wealth.
"Alright, I’ll take you to see Rong Jing."
Lu Yichen led the way in front, his smile fading as he resumed the dignity and demeanor of the Lu Family’s second young master.
Some things need not be pursued, for they did not concern him.
...
The VIP room.
In the vast room, only the Huo Family’s grand elder, Huo Hongxing, and the Yan Family head, sitting with Huo Yao and Huo Anqi on his lap, remained.
Qin Ruan and Huo Yunjiao had just left when the other seasoned foxes all slipped away with different excuses.
Those who could sit in this room were all old friends of the Huo grand elder or like him, retired from the Cabinet, and some still held Cabinet titles but no longer dealt with affairs, opting to retire at home instead.
The Huo grand elder saw his great-grandsons on Yan Yiqi’s lap, and his heart soured.
He extended his hand toward Huo Yao, who was closest to him, "Ayao, come to your great-grandfather."
Yan Yiqi held Huo Yao away from the elder, his expression had returned to calm, and he seemed reluctant to let go of the toddler in his arms.
Seeing this, the Huo grand elder grew angry, "Yan Yiqi, what do you mean by this?"
Yan Yiqi’s face turned an abnormal shade of white, his breathing became unstable, and a deep intent flickered in his eyes. In those wise orbs lurked a hidden abyss unseen by others, filled with calculation and cunning.
He said calmly, "Old Huo, if nothing unexpected happens, these children might have to call me ’great-granduncle’."
The Huo grand elder did not expect his old friend to be so shameless and found himself speechless with pointing finger.
Huo Hongxing, however, chuckled, though his smile did not reach his eyes, "Uncle Yan, the marriage is not even set yet."
Yan Yiqi lowered his gaze, looking at the delicate boys in his arms, and murmured softly, "The moment that child walked in, she just reminded me so much of Anyu, they look so alike."
It was clear to the Huo grand elder and Huo Hongxing who he was talking about.
But knowing did not mean acceptance.
The Huo grand elder couldn’t help but retort sharply, "There are many people who look alike in this world!"
Yan Yiqi shook his head, a look of sadness surfacing, "She is Anyu’s child, cough cough..."
Before he could finish, his coughing interrupted him.
Without waiting for the Huo grand elder to snatch the child, the Yan Family head proactively placed the child into his arms.
A Yan Family bodyguard offered a clean handkerchief, which Yan Yiqi took, coughing continuously into it.
"Uncle Yan, what happened?"
Huo Hongxing, with sharp eyes, saw red staining the handkerchief and his expression severely changed.
Yan Yiqi clenched the handkerchief, his complexion growing paler, and with a tender smile in his eyes, he reassured casually, "It’s nothing, just an old ailment."
The Huo grand elder, noticing the blood on the handkerchief, darkened his face and his tone turned somber, "What’s going on, are you ill?"
At their age, various illnesses were inevitable.
"I don’t have many days left to live."
Yan Yiqi’s demeanor was casual, treating the matter as if it were mere small talk.
"Don’t talk nonsense!" the Huo grand elder exclaimed anxiously.
Huo Yao and Huo Anqi, the two brothers, exchanged serious glances, because no one paid them too much attention because of Yan Yiqi.
Yan Yiqi wiped the corners of his mouth with the handkerchief before tossing it onto the table, continuing in an even voice, "Old Huo, the reason I returned to the country was actually for Xirong. He has been in a coma for nearly three months now.
The Yan Family has sought doctors, the church of Northern England, and even wizards, but no one can diagnose his illness. If this continues, he won’t be able to hold on much longer."
The Huo grand elder immediately understood, "You want to ask Ling Xuzi for help?"
The Yan and Huo families were on good terms, and Ling Xuzi, as the head of Spiritual Mountain Gate, usually stayed away from the wealthy and powerful. Except for his closeness to the Huo Family, he could be considered reclusive.
The Yan Family knew of Ling Xuzi and his capabilities.
Yan Yiqi gave the elder a meaningful look, "I heard that a mystic master has recently appeared in Capital City, none other than the third young mistress of the Huo Family."
