Chapter 940: Chapter 940: Young Master Qin Stands Up for His Kid and Talks Back, The Fu Family Seeks Third Master to Make Amends

Qin Ruan cradled the two children and left, the people surrounding Huo Yunjiao tacitly quieted down considerably.

Watching his wife and children leave, Huo Yunjiao turned to Huo Zhi standing by his side and instructed in a subdued voice, "Follow Madam, take care of her and the children."

"Yes, Master!"

Huo Zhi bowed slightly, her etiquette impeccable.

She straightened up and quickly went to follow Qin Ruan’s figure.

Not far away, Su Jingshu narrowed her eyes, gleaming with sharpness, watching Qin Ruan’s retreating figure.

After a moment, she whispered something to the long-haired man beside her and started to follow Qin Ruan.

"Ruanruan!"

Huo Yao perched on Qin Ruan’s shoulder, looking back at the man approaching with a white bundle in his arms and whispered a reminder into Qin Ruan’s ear, "Mama, it’s Second Uncle."

Qin Ruan halted her steps and turned back to see Qin Mei approaching briskly with a smile plastered on his face.

He started questioning with a stern face as soon as he was near, "I finally see you, why couldn’t I contact you these past few days!"

Recalling her recent experience, Qin Ruan didn’t want anyone to know she had been locked in a room by the Third Master, so she casually said, "I had to attend to some matters in Sea City."

Qin Ruan diverted the topic to prevent further questions from Qin Mei, looking around him and asked nonchalantly, "Why don’t I see Big Brother?"

"Big Brother ran into an acquaintance, I told him you came, he should be here in a moment."

Qin Mei threw the Xueqiu he was holding to the ground, reached out his hands to hold Huo Yao and Huo Anqi, "Give me the kids, I’ve missed them so much, haven’t seen them for a long time!"

Xueqiu, abandoned on the ground, haughtily squatted by its owner’s feet, lazily licking its paw.

Its emerald green eyes vigilantly surveyed Huo Yao and Huo Anqi, on guard lest the two brothers fancied it.

With a smile, Qin Ruan handed the children over to Qin Mei’s embrace and softly told the children, "Ayao, Anqi, call him uncle."

"Uncle—"

"Uncle—"

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi called out in unison.

Their voices were kept so low that apart from Qin Ruan and Qin Mei, the siblings, no one around could hear them.

Upon hearing the two little ancestors calling, Qin Mei was entirely dumbfounded.

He blinked in disbelief, staring at Huo Yao and Huo Anqi.

"They can already call out to people?"

Qin Mei looked utterly amazed, as if he had never seen anything like it before.

Qin Ruan stroked Huo Yao and Huo Anqi’s heads and proudly stated, "They are precocious. Aside from the Huo family members, outsiders do not yet know they can speak."

"Oh! They are indeed two precious treasures!"

Qin Mei, overcome with emotion, grinned broadly, his laughter making him look like a simpleton.

He kissed Huo Yao and Huo Anqi fiercely, holding them even tighter, unwilling to let go.

"Madam of the Third Young Master, it has been a while."

Su Jingshu, dressed in a formal gown, drifted over with an air of familiarity, casually greeting.

Qin Ruan’s gaze, which had casually dropped, lifted slightly to observe the approaching woman.

The woman exuded her usual scholarly aura, her smile clean, and her entire being conveyed a sense of serenity and peace.

She seemed to have the potential of a gentle and kind wife and mother, the kind suitable to be nurtured at home.

But who could know that beneath that skin lay a heart as ruthless as any man, with extreme, relentless methods surpassing that of many men.

Sensing something, Qin Ruan’s expression coolly withdrew, her eyes darkening with a strange gloom, her lips pursed in displeasure.

With a frosted demeanor, she said neutrally, "Miss Su."

Su Jingshu approached Qin Mei and lifted her hand painted with red nail polish, gently pinching the chubby cheek of the closest, Huo Yao.

Perhaps due to her fondness for children, she sincerely complimented, "These two children are truly adorable, they indeed carry the Huo Family blood, and they look incredibly smart and clever."

This flattery did not sit well with Qin Mei.

Holding the two children, his tone bristled, "What do you mean by that? How is it the Huo Family’s credit? Haven’t you seen that these two nephews of mine resemble their mother? Clearly, they have inherited my Qin Family’s genes."

Miss Su, graceful and composed, shifted her gaze to Qin Mei’s handsome face, so similar to Qin Ruan’s, with a sunny mischievous charm.

With a gentle expression and a glimmer of laughter in her eyes, she elegantly covered her mouth and giggled, "Indeed, without the Madam of the Third Young Master, how could there be two such lively and adorable treasures born?"

While speaking, she reached toward Huo Anqi again.

Qin Mei, not overly fond of her, took two steps back with the children, frowning as he watched her hand, "Your nails are so long; be careful not to hurt them."

Su Jingshu lowered her gaze to her nails, which were about two centimeters long, and began to doubt her life choices.

Qin Mei’s disdain still wasn’t satisfied as he continued, "Just by looking, I can tell you haven’t raised any children. Those long nails are downright weapons, do you think you’re the White Bone Demon or something?"

Su Jingshu’s eyes darkened slightly, a current of displeasure and danger churning within them.

Qin Mei, seemingly born without a care, hid behind Qin Ruan with the children as Su Jingshu remained silent, playing with Huo Yao and Huo Anqi.

Seeing that the brothers were ignoring him, he called Xueqiu over, using the cat to attract their attention.

During this time, Qin Ruan’s eyes flashed golden as she scrutinized Su Jingshu from top to bottom.

Ever since Su Jingshu had drawn close, she sensed an odd aura emanating from her. Only after opening her Heavenly Eye did she see a thick black mist shrouding Su Jingshu.

It wasn’t Puppet Energy, nor was it Demonic Energy; Qin Ruan couldn’t distinguish what it was, but it was certainly nothing good.

Noticing her probing gaze, Su Jingshu suppressed the displeasure in her heart and turned back to Qin Ruan with a smile, "Madam Third Young Master, why do you look at me with such eyes? Is there something amiss with me?"

She picked up her dress and twirled around twice, finding nothing inappropriate.

The chill in Qin Ruan’s eyes invaded, and not even layers of fabric on her body could ward it off.

Su Jingshu only felt the other’s gaze penetrate her skin, causing her to shudder despite the absence of cold, and struggled to maintain the smile on her face.

The dark shade in Qin Ruan’s eyes receded as she smiled and said, "Miss Su seems to be in good spirits, radiant and glowing—surely, you have been in a good mood lately."

She was very curious about what exactly the other party had provoked.

Considering her facial expressions and aura, her life wasn’t in danger, which made it even more peculiar to Qin Ruan.

The prickly intensity of Qin Ruan’s gaze softened, and Su Jingshu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She gracefully touched her hair, her face bright with a smile and deep in meaning, "People should live happily; isn’t that what makes life meaningful?"

Qin Ruan nodded in agreement, "That’s true. We have other matters to attend to, so we won’t disturb Miss Su’s pleasure."

She led Qin Mei away, not wanting the child to be too close to Su Jingshu.

Su Jingshu stood there, puzzled, feeling as if Qin Ruan was avoiding her.

Considering Qin Ruan’s current status, with the Huo Family’s protection, the doting of the Third Master Huo, and surrounded by all kinds of capable and extraordinary people, she shouldn’t be afraid of her.

Could it be that this person harbors resentment towards her, fearing that she would entangle with the Third Master?

Thinking this, Su Jingshu shook her head.

Heaven knows that she would never step foot into the Huo Family’s door in this lifetime.

Who decreed that a woman must marry? She, on the contrary, aspired to live in the way she wanted, crushing men beneath her feet.

The long-haired man who had been accompanying Su Jingshu quickly approached her, his expression anxious, "Miss Su, my girlfriend called. She’s not feeling well; I have to go back for a while."

The smile that had been on Su Jingshu’s face vanished instantly, her gaze turning scornful and sharp as she pierced the man with it.

Her face revealed mockery, her words tinged with contempt, "Do you think you can come and go as you please, and that you can haggle with me? Even if the Lord of Heaven himself appeared today, you’d still have to stay put!"

The long-haired man was the victorious boxer from the ring the other night.

Since that evening when Su Jingshu summoned him, he had been constantly by her side.

However, between the two of them, things were clear and aboveboard.

But Su Jingshu had a unique hobby—she liked to bring him different women, and every time he was with them, she would watch intently.

A woman who seemed gentle in appearance exhibited a look of disgust and unspeakable grim horror when watching from the sidelines.

The longer the man stayed with her, the more he felt Su Jingshu was twisted, unspeakably perverted.

If it wasn’t for the money, he would not dare to stay by Su Jingshu’s side at all, always fearing that his life could inexplicably end someday.

The long-haired man, anxious, pleaded in a low voice, "Miss Su, my girlfriend does feel ill."

Su Jingshu pinched his chin, full of insult, and said coldly, "Zhao Dong, I bought you with money. Do you really want to make me unhappy at an occasion like this?"

"She’s dying, Miss Su. Please, let me go back. If you’re upset later, you can kill me to vent your anger!"

If it weren’t for the crowded banquet hall and knowing that Su Jingshu cared about her face, Zhao Dong would have knelt down to her.

Su Jingshu’s face, initially warm with anger, spaced out for a moment, a fleeting touch of pain flashing in her eyes.

Her expression returned to calm, her tone indifferent, "What happened?"

Zhao Dong wiped his eyes and said softly, "My girlfriend is seriously ill and doesn’t have much time left. I took up boxing hoping to lessen her pain before she goes. The doctor said it’s about this month. The hospital just called; she is currently in surgery."

A tall and handsome man, now displaying a look of pain, tears in his eyes, exuded an air of despair.

Su Jingshu waved her hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, you make me out to be a villain. Off you go."

"Thank you, Miss Su!" Zhao Dong turned and left.

"Wait!"

Su Jingshu suddenly called out to him.

Zhao Dong turned back, a flicker of panic in his eyes.

Su Jingshu said in a measured tone, "Bei Jinzhou is outside; have him drive you."

"Alright, thank you, Miss Su."

Zhao Dong thanked her again, this time leaving with a quick jog.

Su Jingshu watched his departing figure, her face contemplative as she fell into some memory.

The previous air of superiority, the sarcasm, and mockery, all vanished without a trace.

...

Finally free, Huo Yunjiao prepared to look for Qin Ruan and the child when she was stopped again by two people.

It was the couple, Fu Yinru and Xiao Wenrou.

The two came hand in hand, a somber look on their faces and visible unease.

Fu Yinru stepped forward, his demeanor respectful, "Third Master Huo."

Huo Yunjiao lifted her eyelids, her expression cool and distant, "What is it?"

Her current impression of the Fu Family was not good. The people from the Fu Family in Sea City had even dared to make a move on Qin Ruan.

It was clear that the Third Master was upset about this.
