Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!

Chapter 900: Chapter 900: Better to Stay Single and Avoid Afflicting Future Generations

Huo Yunjiao greeted Falcon’s admiring gaze, her thin lips slightly parted as she delivered a heavy blow, "To achieve such abundant and outstanding accomplishments at such a young age, since you’re so capable, you can keep Gu Mingyan company during the New Year and work overtime together to ensure the Cabinet’s safety."

Falcon’s expression twisted somewhat, and as he looked at the gentle expression on Huo Yunjiao’s face, a chilling sense of being targeted by a natural predator arose within him.

He always felt that if he didn’t agree, what awaited him would be a ’total disaster’.

Falcon felt a chill down his back, as if he was placed in an ice cellar, and it took several seconds before he recovered his voice, "Yes, Third Master, please take your time leaving."

He couldn’t play the fool like Gu Mingyan, sacrifice his pride to beg for mercy; all he could do was to resign himself to fate.

At this moment, his heart was bleeding, yet he had to smile and respectfully thank the punisher.

Huo Yunjiao’s face bore a spring breeze-like smile, and in her deep eyes was a compassionate gentleness, "It’s getting late, you guys should wrap up as well, I will leave first with Madam."

This time, she truly left.

Ke Zhibin saw this, and quietly followed them.

Leaving the others standing inside the bedroom, exchanging perplexed looks with one another.

Ke Zhibin escorted Huo Yunjiao and Qin Ruan to the gate.

Before getting into the car, Qin Ruan looked back at him, "Mr. Ke, looking at your face, your marriage will be troubled for the rest of your life. Since marriage brings so much trouble, why not just stay single for the remainder of your life, to avoid cursing future generations?"

Ke Zhibin’s heart skipped a beat, then he forced a bitter smile, "Madam Huo, to tell the truth, the divorce agreement with Nianzhen hasn’t been submitted yet. Even though she’s already dead, we are still husband and wife in name.

Given how things have turned out, I have no plans to divorce her now. After you and Third Master leave, I’m going to hospital to bring her back and personally take care of her funeral arrangements."

Qin Ruan’s eyes blinked, her voice soft as she spoke, "I didn’t expect Mr. Ke to be so profoundly loyal and devoted; I seem to have misunderstood."

Ke Zhibin’s rugged facial lines softened considerably as he spoke frankly, "Please don’t say that, if it weren’t for your intervention today, my whole family would have been in mortal danger.

I was scared out of my wits. Life is full of disappointments, and Nianzhen had many concerns before she passed. All I can do is minimize the damage of the situation as much as possible. In the end, it’s still self-interest at play."

The so-called harm included a measure of compassion for Hen Nianzhen.

More of it was the crisis her death would bring to Yahuang Entertainment, which would affect the interests of major shareholders and lead to instability in his influence within the company.

Qin Ruan chuckled softly, her gaze at Ke Zhibin filled with inquiry, "Hen Nianzhen left your mother bedridden, your family harassed by a Puppet, and your lives threatened. Do you harbor any hatred towards her?"

This question Ke Zhibin did not know how to answer.

His gaze shifted past Qin Ruan towards Huo Yunjiao sitting inside the car, with some things he couldn’t bring himself to say.

To say he didn’t hate Hen Nianzhen would be too hypocritical.

His mother was old, and after this affair, it was uncertain whether her health would be affected.

The marriage of his eldest son, Ke Yihui, was completely ruined, and it was unknown what the future held.

His younger son, Ke Yiming, was also shocked by the incident, and would definitely need to see a psychologist afterwards.

As for the ordeal he himself faced, it was nothing severe, given that he and Hen Nianzhen were husband and wife.

But was Hen Nianzhen not pitiable?

He was preparing her body for the funeral, planning to tear up the divorce agreement upon returning, and had done everything possible to get on Qin Ruan’s good side, even removing the videos from the black mandrake network.

All of this was not out of his tenderness of heart, but rather a duty to the years of marriage and his pity for Hen Nianzhen, doing what he could manage.

The decisions he made were ultimately driven by self-interest, more about going with the flow.

He had no noble sentiments; he simply analyzed the pros and cons of the situation and chose the option that would cause Hen Nianzhen the least harm.

The person was already dead, and no matter the transgression, there was no one left to hold accountable.

From beginning to end, Hen Nianzhen had never laid a hand on the Ke Family members.

Since that was the case, then let it be, let it end here.

It was far from a perfect solution, but it was the best outcome he could manage.

Qin Ruan saw the complexity, the struggle, the pity, and a hint of regret on Ke Zhibin’s face, and she could roughly guess his thoughts.

Merchants seek profit, and Ke Zhibin was a merchant, but it couldn’t be denied that deep down, he had some reluctance to be harsh with Hen Nianzhen.

He could have easily publicized everything Hen Nianzhen had done and placed all the blame on her.

In doing so, both the Ke Family and Yahuang Entertainment would have suffered the least impact and loss.

Qin Ruan leaned on the car door, a faint smile on her face, and offered a gentle hint, "Mr. Ke, I am not in a position to judge Hen Nianzhen’s actions. She might not have been a virtuous wife, but she had admirable traits, bold in love and hate, capable of both holding on and letting go, ruthless and relentless.

Such a woman, even if she became a ’Puppet,’ would probably be able to make a splash in the Netherworld. Since you’ve chosen not to divorce her, it wouldn’t hurt your business or the Ke Family to burn some Joss Paper for her once in a while."

Ke Zhibin’s eyes flickered briefly, his expression still composed, but a tumult arose in his heart.

Feeling uneasy, he asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

Qin Ruan smiled faintly, "When you agreed to Hen Nianzhen’s last wish, she promised to protect the Ke Family."

Ke Zhibin had a sudden realization and broke into a smile, "I understand now!"

Qin Ruan’s eyes were clear and calm, with a hint of amusement, "Then I wish Mr. Ke a prosperous career and a harmonious family life in the future."

Ke Zhibin, visibly moved, thanked her respectfully, "Thank you, Madam Huo, for your guidance."

"You’re welcome."

Qin Ruan turned and got into the car, sitting beside the waiting Huo Yunjiao.

Huo Zhi approached the car, nodded at Ke Zhibin standing in front of the vehicle, opened the door, and settled into the driver’s seat.

Ke Zhibin took a couple of steps back, watching as the procession of luxurious cars quickly left the villa area.

He didn’t withdraw his gaze until the convoy had vanished from sight, his face sinking into a solemn contemplation.

Everything that had happened today seemed like a big dream, leaving him feeling bewildered and deeply reverent.

With the vastness of the world, the fact that you haven’t personally seen or experienced something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist; it only means one’s own knowledge isn’t quite sufficient.

The sound of orderly footsteps came from behind, and Ke Zhibin put aside the shock in his heart and turned to look.

Gu Mingyan and Falcon, with stony faces, walked out of the Ke Family gate with their subordinates in a disciplined manner.

Ke Zhibin’s solemn expression vanished immediately, replaced by the courteous and polite smile he often wore in the business world.

He hurried forward, his face respectful yet cheerful as he inquired, "Are the two captains leaving already?"

Gu Mingyan glanced at Ke Zhibin’s smiling face, which he found increasingly irritating, "What, does Mr. Ke intend to invite us to stay for a meal?"

His mood was sour, and naturally, so was his tone.
