 Chapter 134: The Noble Families of the Southern City Are Mostly Literary and Scholarly

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lu Wenbin and Qin Ruan walked out of the house of Qiao Nanyuan and Qiao Jiushitu.

Standing at the entrance of the Qiao family's house, Lu Wenbin asked, "Friend Qin, how did you get here? I have a car, shall we go together?"

Qin Ruan's dark eyes, as deep as an ancient pool, swept towards a black car parked not far away. She knew that Hou Zhi was sitting inside the car, and had been waiting there for over three hours.

She was somewhat annoyed, furrowing her brows lightly. She really did not want anyone to follow her. Being alone would make her feel more comfortable and less constrained.

As she looked towards the black car, Hou Zhi also saw her. The latter got off the car and opened the rear door.

Qin Ruan pointed towards where Hou Zhi was and declined Lu Wenbin's invitation, saying, "Someone is giving me a ride. Friend Lu, you lead the way, and we'll follow you."

Lu Wenbin looked in the direction that she pointed at.

The woman standing in front of the black Rolls-Royce caught his eye. Although he couldn't see Hou Zhi's facial features clearly, he could sense from her posture and aura that this woman was not ordinary.

Some people's professions shape their image and aura.

Lu Wenbin's ability to read feng shui was not the best, but he could still distinguish some things with his sharp eyes.

He withdrew his gaze and didn't ask any more questions. "Alright, I'll go ahead and drive then."

After they left, Qin Ruan approached Hou Zhi.

"Third Young Madam, " she said.

Hou Zhi lowered her head submissively, her attitude respectful.

Qin Ruan stopped as she heard her address her in that way. Her eyes deepened and she looked helpless.

She sighed softly, "Hou Zhi, we are outside now. You can call me by my name."

Hou Zhi looked surprised, and looked up at her, then immediately lowered her head.

"I dare not," she said.

"But this will make things difficult for me. I don't want anyone to know about my relationship with the Hou family for now," Qin Ruan replied.

This is Qin Ruan's true thoughts.

She hasn't graduated yet and will have to attend Shengshi University for at least four years in the future.

It's the top university in the capital city, where the offspring of the four major families and six major aristocratic families attend.

Once someone finds out that she's married into the Hou family, Qin Ruan can imagine the troubles that will follow.

The children nurtured by these large families are very calculating and hard to read, keeping their emotions hidden. They can't be underestimated.

In everyday conversations, they also speak with hidden meanings and layers of implication. Qin Ruan isn't good at dealing with these kinds of people.

Given Qin Ruan's current temperament, she will never learn those skills, otherwise, she wouldn't have been framed and killed in her past life.

Hou Zhi's face changed slightly when she heard this.

She nervously licked her lips and whispered, "Should I call you Miss Qin from now on?"

Qin Ruan nodded. "That works too."

It's better than being called the Third Madam.

Lu Wenbin drove over, and Qin Ruan heard the sound. She said to Hou Zhi, "We'll follow his car in a moment."

"Okay."

In the northern part of the city, dazzling neon lights illuminate the night.

Two cars drove south on the wide road.

The movie star Xiao Yunchen lived in the refined and literary South City.

One in the north and one in the south, they drove for almost an hour and finally arrived at Xiao Yunchen's house.

Xiao Yunchen's home was worth nearly a hundred million yuan, which gives an idea of his current wealth.

Qin Ruan, sitting in the car, withdrew her gaze from the mansion and said to Hou Zhi, who was finding a place to park the car, "I'll get off here. You and Mr. Lu can park ahead."

Hou Zhi responded and parked the car.

Qin Ruan got off the car and walked towards the lamppost in front of the mansion.

Under the light of the streetlamp, her shadow was stretched out.

It was particularly quiet around her, giving her a sense of relaxation and contemplation.

Footsteps sounded from behind, Qin Ruan stopped and slowly turned around.
