Chapter 254: Third Young Master Has Returned Home for a Long Time, and Should Show Up
The people standing at the entrance of the library were silent with anger.
They were not the opponents of Huo Zhi, the Huo family's guards, and others.
"Huo Zhi?" At that moment, a familiar and doubtful voice reached Huo Zhi's ears.
She looked up and saw a tall figure appearing at the entrance of the library.
Huo Zhi took two steps forward and slightly bent down, "Young Master Long."
Long Xinzhe, from the Long family, one of the four major families, was not Huo Zhi's master even though his sister had married into the Huo family.
But when they meet, Huo Zhi always greets him respectfully.
Long Xinzhe's gaze swept towards the Huo family guards standing behind her.
From their solemn expressions, deliberate exuding of killing intent, and almost identical emotionless expressions, he knew that they were the Huo family guards.
His sister's husband was always accompanied by the Huo family guards.
Every time he saw them, Long Xinzhe felt that they were emotionless robots.
"Senior, do you know each other?" The male student standing beside them, knowing Long Xinzhe's identity, kindly asked.
He privately believed that the Long family was one of the four major families with some influence and should be able to help them solve their troubles.
They guessed that Huo Zhi and the others' appearance might be related to Li Li and Li Xiao.
If they were to face off against Long Xinzhe, they would surely step back.
Long Xinzhe politely nodded to the unfamiliar classmate beside him.
He looked at Huo Zhi and asked, "Did something happen?"
"I received orders from my master that no one is allowed to leave the library," Huo Zhi replied straightforwardly.
But as soon as she spoke, Long Xinzhe couldn't help but change his expression.
He knew all three leaders of the Huo family guards: Huo Qiang, Huo Chuan, and Huo Zhi.
Huo Zhi has referred to as the master, and only her sister's husband, Second Young Master, and Third Young Master had that right.
Long Xinzhe had an intuition that he didn't need to ask anything more.
Some things he cannot interfere with.
Long Xinzhe spoke softly to the people around him who wanted to leave and go to the medical room, "You can wait for a while. It probably won't take too long. There should be medical students inside who can check your injuries for you."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for a response and turned and walked into the library.
The people who were waiting for him to make a decision and force Huo Zhi and the others to retreat were completely dumbfounded.
"Xinzhe, what happened outside?" A doll-like girl with delicate features stepped forward and asked.
Her name was Gu Qingqing, and she was from the Gu family, one of the four great families.
Long Xinzhe shook his head at her, "I don't know what happened. We can't go out for now."
"What's going on?" Gu Qingqing frowned at the news.
"The people from the Huo family are outside," Long Xinzhe said as he crossed the other person and sat down on the nearest chair, looking relaxed and casual.
The seat he was sitting in happened to be Qin Ruan's seat before.
There were books on the table that Qin Ruan had been reading.
Long Xin Zhe reached out and closed the book, glanced at the title, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Pregnancy Encyclopedia."
He flipped through the other books that were piled aside, and they were all related to pregnant women.
If it wasn't for his professional background, he really wouldn't have read these books.
Long Xinzhe knew that Qin Ruan had been sitting here before.
He remembered that Qin Ruan was not a medical student or related to any subject related to these books.
So the question was, why would a freshman like Qin Ruan be reading these books?
Long Xinzhe touched the book in his hand, his eyes showing contemplation.
Gu Qingqing sat opposite him, the anger that had just surfaced disappearing.
She looked at Long Xinzhe with a smile on her face, "The people from the Huo family have come to the school? Who came? Did something happen? Did Third Young Master come?"
"What are you thinking? Third Young Master just came back to the country because of his poor health." Long Xinzhe said without lifting his head.
It is well-known that young master Huo has poor health and rarely makes appearances throughout the year.
Today, Huo Zhi unexpectedly appeared at the Sheng Shi Academy, which surprised him.
Gu Qingqing was still hoping that Huo Yunjiao would come, but this was simply wishful thinking.
Aside from Huo Yunjiao's poor health, even if he were in good health, there was no one in the Sheng Shi Academy who could attract him to come in person.
Long Xinzhe speculated in his heart that it might be because of recent upheavals in the school board that Huo Zhi and others were sent.
Apart from the recent turbulence in the board of directors, he couldn't find any other reason.
Second Master Huo manages the HEA Group and has to deal with various major families. Recently, the Su family has also been restless, making him very busy.
His brother-in-law constantly follows the President and is even busier.
If there is anything at the school, they can only send someone from lower down to handle it.
Gu Qingqing didn't want to think too much, she propped her chin up with her hands and frowned slightly.
"Third Young Master Huo has been back in the country for a while now, he should show up."
Long Xinzhe looked up and glanced at her faintly.
"Don't keep mentioning Third Young Master Huo all the time, as if you're afraid that others don't know what you're thinking."
"What can I be thinking?" Gu Qingqing looked embarrassed.
Long Xinzhe didn't hesitate to expose her thoughts: "To take on the title of madam Huo."
Gu Qingqing justified herself: "Which family in Beijing doesn't want to take on the title of Lady Huo if they have a daughter? What's wrong with me thinking about it? It's just because young master Huo is handsome."
Long Xinzhe looked deeply into her eyes and remained silent.
Because what she said was absolutely correct.
From aristocratic families to lower-level ones, which family with daughters or granddaughters didn't consider marrying into the Huo family.
Even if it's not third young master Huo, marrying Second Master Huo is also an option.
The Huo family's current status no longer requires marriage alliances.
The engagement between Second Master Huo and Su Jingshu was widely known to be due to Su family's good fortune.
The Su family owed a debt of gratitude to ild master Huo, which led to the marriage alliance between the two families, but unfortunately, it still failed.
Suddenly, Gu Qingqing exclaimed: "Hey, whose book is this? Why are they all about pregnancy?"
The book in front of Long Xinzhe was closed, and the title "Pregnancy Encyclopedia" was clearly visible, which she saw clearly.
"Qin Ruan and Ling Xiaoxuan."
Gu Qingqing was surprised: "What are they doing looking at this? Could it be that Qin Ruan really has something going on with Lu Yichen?"
Long Xinzhe glanced at her, suspecting that her head was filled with water.
"Yichen is almost with us every day. When have you ever seen him getting close to Qin Ruan?"
"Well, then, could it be Ling Xiaoxuan?"
Speaking of her, Gu Qingqing's entire conversation box was opened: "Let me tell you, do you know that Ling Xiaoxuan broke off her engagement some time ago?"
How would Long Xinzhe know? He never paid attention to these things.
"I heard that her previous fiancé died before her. She's been making a fuss about it these days."
"How do you know so much about it?"
"I don't know anything about the big families and clans. We know every little thing that happens."
"We?"
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Don't meddle in women's affairs."
"Hehe..." Long Xinzhe politely gave her a perfunctory smile.
Gu Qingqing's gaze once again fell on "Pregnancy Encyclopedia": "Do you think Qin Ruan and Ling Xiaoxuan are pregnant? Otherwise, why would they be reading this kind of book?"
"Maybe they need to write a course summary report."
Long Xinzhe sorted out the book, got up and left, saying little.
