Chapter 77: Just a Powerful Family
Quan Shijin didn't really care about the wound on her shoulder. At the time, it just looked like there was a lot of bleeding. It wasn't that serious. But why did he look at her as if she was facing a great enemy? "It's just a minor injury. Don't worry about it."

Wen Ruoci bit her lip, "I don't want you to get hurt."

Quan Shijin and she emphasized, "This is just an accident."

Wen Ruoci looked at her steadily, "If you didn't know me, and the old lady drugged you, would you go to bed with Yi Youwei?"

Quan Shijin answered without any hesitation, "No."

He didn't like Yi Youwei in the first place, and another reason why he insisted on going abroad was that he wanted to avoid Yi Youwei.

The old lady was thinking about thanking the Yi family for giving her a kidney, so he couldn't really do anything to Yi Youwei.

Quan Shijin grabbed Wen Ruoci's hand that had been stroking his wound.

He was not very distracted at times, but the tenderness of her fingertips, that slightly tingling feeling, was addictive and heart-moving.

"Don't think too much, it's time to go eat."

During the meal, Wen Ruoci's face always had a gloomy expression.

Quan Shijin didn't eat many bites because most of his attention was on Wen Ruoci.

The expression on her face is quite intriguing.

An average woman would probably feel a little touched if she found out that the man she liked had been drugged and was willing to hurt himself to remain chaste.

Why does it seem like her face is full of distress?

After she finished eating, Quan Shijin sent her back to the crew's hotel, and he went to the Quan family's old house.

As soon as he entered the house, the housekeeper came up to him and said respectfully, "Young Master, the old lady is waiting for you."

Quan Shijin looked over, his face expressionless, "Does she know I'll be here?"

The butler said nothing.

The second young master was here not long ago.

Now the young master is here too.

He felt that there was something unusual about this matter.

He is just a butler, how could he dare to give any orders?

Quan Shijin was too lazy to bother with a housekeeper, "Take me to see her."

"Yes."

The old lady is in the tea room now, and the rising smoke makes the whole room seem ethereal and fairy-like.

Quan Shijin sat down opposite the old lady and said without beating around the bush, "You should know why I came to see you."

The old lady skimmed off the foam with her teacup without even raising her head. "If I really wanted to kidnap her, would she still be alive?"

Quan Shijin was a little unsure of the old lady's attitude. The old lady was the kind of person who could joke with you one second and want to kill you the next.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

The old lady's face was calm, "It's not okay to be curious about her."

Quan Shijin knew that almost everyone in the Quan family was curious about Wen Ruoci.

"If you are really just curious about her, do you need to kidnap her?"

The old lady said in a calm tone, "I just asked Shiyue to help me investigate. What specific method he uses is his business."

Quan Shijin sneered.

Without the old lady's advice, or without the old lady's consent, Quan Shiyue would be unlikely to use kidnapping.

"I don't want to see her get hurt. I don't want to see the same thing happen a second time."

The old lady was actually a little unhappy.

I have been in a high position all my life, and few people dare to speak to me in this tone.

If the person who spoke this word today was not Quan Shijin, she would have ordered someone to throw him out long ago.

She said coldly, "If you really like her, wait until she gets divorced and then you can keep her safe and sound, then I will agree." Quan Shijin denied it without hesitation, "Impossible!"

The old lady sneered, "You mean you want to marry her back? Are you crazy? If you really marry her back, I will remove you from the Quan family. I still have this power."

The teahouse was filled with an atmosphere of tension, but the rising smoke made one feel as if one was in a fairyland. People who didn't know would think they were talking about the past and present, how friendly they were.

After she finished speaking, the old lady put the teacup heavily on the table with a loud noise, "Do you want the Quan family or her? Think it over carefully."

It was obvious that Quan Shijin was having a very unhappy argument with the old lady.

When the housekeeper saw Quan Shijin leaving, he slammed the door loudly.

He pushed the door open carefully.

I saw tea leaves, tea stains and a broken teacup on the ground.

I don’t know what happened to make the old lady so angry.

The housekeeper walked over, massaged the old lady's shoulders, and spoke hesitantly,
"Actually, regarding the matter of Miss Wen, I don't think it's necessary for you, old lady, and the young master to make such a fuss."

The old lady pinched her brows and said in a faint and hoarse voice, "Oh, then do you have any good ideas?"

"Isn't that Miss Wen already married? As long as the Quan family puts pressure on the He family and tells them not to divorce, the young master's woman will never have a chance. No matter how much the young master likes her, he can't kill her husband. After a long time, the young master's interest will fade, and he may no longer miss Miss Wen.

As long as the young master gives up that idea, wouldn't everyone be happy? The more you oppose it now, the more the young master will go against you."

The old lady said nothing.

Because she thought of Quan Shijin's answer just now -

It’s just a powerful family, he is willing to exchange.

She was so angry that she threw the cup over.

She had never been so angry before, and she seemed to have lost all her reason.

Today is the first time.

Because of Quan Shijin.

She just couldn't understand why Quan Shijin liked Wen Ruoci so much when he could have any kind of beauty he wanted.

She's a married woman.

A man who has been considered to have no emotions since childhood, suddenly fell in love, and then wanted to exchange his kingdom for it.

She couldn't let Quan Shijin go further down the path of death.

"The He family is not a small family. This matter needs to be considered carefully."

………………

After Wen Ruoci returned to the hotel and washed up briefly, she heard her cell phone ringing and walked over to take a look.

This number...

She frowned for a moment, but still pressed the answer button.

A strange male voice came from the other end of the phone, "I heard you were kidnapped?"

Wen Ruoci tapped the table intentionally or unintentionally, "How did you know?"

The other party explained to her, "I happened to be in Beijing and learned about this incident by accident."

Wen Ruoci closed her eyes and said, "I'm fine. And as I said before, don't call me before you get the things."

The other party seemed to sigh, "I'm just worried about you."

"Don't worry about me. I will never let anything happen to me before things are successful."

"Then you better be careful."

"I know, so do you."

After saying that, Wen Ruoci hung up the phone and deleted the call records.
