 Chapter 171: Qin Ruan, the person on Third Young Master's mind

There were many students coming and going under the teaching building, and some of them knew Hou Xiangli.

She often caused trouble at school, and everyone was used to it.

Now, when they saw her lying in the arms of a beautiful woman, they quickly averted their gaze.

Hou Zhi held the person in her hand and walked two steps towards Qin Ruan. "Madam, Third Master sent someone to deliver lunch to you, and it has been delivered to your dormitory."

"I know." Qin Ruan's gaze returned from Hou Xiangli and she responded lightly.

She pursed her lips and asked, "Did you have a hand in what Hou Xiangli did before?"

"Yes." Hou Zhi did not conceal the truth.

Indeed, she had instructed her subordinates to remove the video from the forum and reported the matter to Third Young Master.

Qin Ruan thought to herself that it was as she had expected. Hou Zhi had been following her these days, and apart from her, there was no one else.

"Hou Xiangli's father was expelled by the board of directors of Shengshi University. It was probably because Third Young Master made a call, right?" 

Hou Zhi lowered her head. "Shengshi University was founded by the Hou family. Those who bullied Madam at school deserve to be punished."

Qin Ruan really didn't know that Shengshi University was founded by the Hou family.

She knew that the Hou family's influence in Beijing was extraordinary, but she never thought that the century-old prestigious school was also owned by the Hou family.

Hou Zhi escorted Qin Ruan to the entrance of the dormitory building but did not go up with her.

She left with the unconscious Hou Xiangli.

The Hou family in Beijing had some influence, but compared to the Four Great Families and the Six Great Aristocratic Families, they were really not worth mentioning.

Anyone who dared to attack someone from the Hou family would meet a similar fate to Hou Xiangli.

In the future, there would be no more Hou family in Beijing.

Qin Ruan returned to her dormitory and saw several thermal boxes placed on the table inside.

She walked up and opened the double-layered thermal box closest to her on the table. The strong aroma of exquisite dishes wafted into her nostrils.

The Hou family had sent six dishes and a soup in total.

The lunch box was open, and a faint herbal aroma filled the room.

The dishes were all nourishing, blood-tonifying herbal meals, good for her health.

A faint smile played at the corner of Qin Ruan's lips as she placed her hand on her belly, feeling content. With her caution and Hou Yunjiao's protection, her baby would definitely be safely delivered.

Sitting at the table, Qin Ruan picked up her chopsticks and enjoyed the delicious and fragrant meal.

...

At the Hou residence, Hou Yirong was taking a rare day off.

After completing a deal with X Country, he didn't need to run to the company so often in the past few days.

He stood on the outdoor balcony, casually and elegantly leaning against the railing. At home, he rarely dressed casually, and his relaxed and comfortable home clothes toned down his cold and cruel temperament, giving him a more easygoing air.

Just because there was no complicated business at the company did not mean Hou Yirong could rest easy.

Hou Qiang stood behind him, respectfully reporting: "Grandfather has disrupted many of Su family's businesses, and caused some trouble in the cabinet affairs. News of the Hou & Su alliance falling apart has spread far and wide. Over the years, Su family has made a profit from the alliance with our family, but in a few short days, they paid back their debts with interest. Su family is not very happy about this, and they have started to take action. They have found out about Third Young Lady's identity, but have not taken any action yet."

Hearing that Su family had set their sights on his younger siblings, Hou Yirong's expression changed.

He turned around, his eyes flashing with a hint of sharpness: "Old Qiang, Qin Ruan is the apple of my younger brother's eye. If Su family harms her, there will be no need for our undercover agents to continue to exist."

Grandfather had ordered that the baby in Qin Ruan's belly must be safely delivered. She was now of great importance to the Hou family.
