The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Huo Siyu also handed over a gift. Qin Xuan took it and thanked her. Then, she glanced at Murong Xi and Murong Huan with sympathy.

Qin Xuan didn’t know about the Bruce Family, but she had more or less heard about it. She heard that after the head of the Bruce Family died of illness, the younger generation started to fight for the inheritance rights.

She originally thought that no matter who the next head of the Bruce Family was, whether the Bruce Family’s status in Country Y would be replaced by the Jones Family or not, the Bruce Family would at least not go bankrupt. Murong Xi and Murong Huan would still have a family to rely on.

Even though that family was much weaker than before.

However, Qin Xuan did not expect the Bruce Family to be in danger.

No wonder. She knew that Murong Xi and Murong Huan didn’t have a good relationship with her usually. Why did they rush back to celebrate her birthday? It turned out that they couldn’t stay in Country Y anymore.

Their family was almost gone, but she still dared to act so ostentatiously. Did she think that the Bruce Family was not disappearing fast enough?

Bewildered.

“Ahem… Let’s go in first.”

As soon as Qin Xuan finished speaking, Murong Huan said, “Wait a sec!”

She looked at Yan Jinyu in fear and anger and asked Qin Xuan, “Xuanxuan, who is she?”

“We know very well what the Bruce Family’s current situation is. What rumors is she spreading here? Isn’t she afraid of offending our Bruce Family? Till now, I’ve rarely seen anyone who dares to look down on the Bruce Family. Does she really think that our Bruce Family is so easy to bully?”

“…” Qin Xuan.

This weirdo! She wasn’t just retarded! She was probably more serious than a retard!

She almost lost her life just now, and now she was courting death.

Today was her home ground. Even if she wanted to die, she shouldn’t bring her along with her!

Jinyu wouldn’t pursue the matter with her, but if Master Nine found out that someone was looking for trouble with Jinyu in her territory and wanted to pursue the matter, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself!

“To be honest, she really dares to offend the Bruce Family. Oh, no, it should be said that your Bruce Family is really nothing in her eyes.”

Qin Xuan spoke very impolitely.

“Cousin Huan, don’t find trouble for yourself. Otherwise, even if today is my event, I won’t have the face to protect you.”

“Qin Xuan, what are you saying!”

Murong Huan glared at Qin Xuan angrily, looking as if she wanted to come over and slap her.

Murong Huan came from the Bruce Family and looked down on Qin Xuan.

Even if Qin Xuan was a member of the Qin Family.

In her opinion, Qin Xuan’s background wasn’t high enough.

Qin Xuan was completely incomparable to her.

She had always looked down on Qin Xuan and had always been arrogant to her.

Now that Qin Xuan was talking to her like this, she couldn’t suppress her anger anymore. She even forgot that she was lucky enough to survive a few minutes ago. She had also forgotten about her fear of Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu.

Qin Xuan usually had a good temper, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t have a temper.

Murong Huan questioned her in public and didn’t give her face. Her face instantly darkened. “That’s what I said. What do you want? Why? Look at you. Do you want to hit me?”

“Murong Huan, calling you cousin is giving you face. Do you really think I’m afraid of you? Not to mention that your Bruce Family’s strength is greatly inferior to before, even if your Bruce Family is still as strong as before, we can’t tolerate you showing off in my Qin Family’s territory!”

“Yes, we’re just a side branch of the Qin Family, but don’t forget that everyone in a big family is on the same side. Do you think the Qin Family won’t pursue the matter if you humiliate me in my house?”

“You’re standing at my house now. That’s what I’m saying. If I’m unhappy, I can get you out anytime!”

“You…”

“Alright, Huanhuan, have you had enough!” Murong Xi interrupted her sternly.

After saying that, Murong Xi sized Qin Xuan up.

Then, she looked at Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu.

Her expression darkened.

Then, she smiled faintly and said, “Xuanxuan, I’m sorry. Huanhuan’s temper is like this. She doesn’t have any ill intentions, so please don’t take it to heart. We’re cousins. We’ve known each other since we were young. Today is your birthday too. We’re here to celebrate your birthday this time. Don’t let this unhappiness affect your mood.”

“Huanhuan is only good with her words. Actually, she doesn’t have any ill intentions. She personally picked out the birthday presents we gave you. She’s really here to celebrate your birthday.”

“Of course, the Bruce Family has indeed been in some trouble recently. My parents and brothers are busy dealing with it. We were also helping out previously. Now that the matter is almost settled, we finally have the time to celebrate your birthday.”

She looked at Yan Jinyu, “The Bruce Family’s situation isn’t as serious as this lady said.”

Yan Jinyu’s gaze met hers and she chuckled. “Ha.”

Murong Xi almost couldn’t maintain her expression.

“Before we came over, my mother called Little Aunt to say that we will stay in your house for the time being and disturb you for a few days. Little Aunt agreed too.”

Little Aunt…

They were, in fact, only cousins.

Her mother and Murong Xi’s mother didn’t have a deep relationship either.

Just like how Murong Huan didn’t like her, their mother didn’t like her mother either.

However, Qin Xuan didn’t argue with Murong Xi in the end. Her mother had indeed received a call from their mother, asking her to take care of Murong Xi and Murong Huan for a few days.

Since she had agreed, it was not good to make things too ugly.

“Cousin Xi, don’t blame me for not giving you face. You better make Murong Huan restrain herself. Otherwise, even if I don’t mind that she openly doesn’t give me face at my house, others might not let her off.”

“If you want to die, get out of my house. You can look for death however you want. Don’t implicate us!”

Looking at Yan Jinyu and the rest, Qin Xuan had a different expression.

“Jinyu, Rainy, Linlin, let’s go in. We’ve been waiting for you guys.”

The few of them entered the house. Only Murong Xi and Murong Huan were still standing outside.

After they turned around, the smile on Murong Xi’s face instantly disappeared. She no longer supported Murong Huan and pushed her away.

Murong Huan was already injured by Huo Siyu’s grasp and kick. With Murong Xi’s push, she staggered and fell to the ground.

Just as she was about to question her, she met Murong Xi’s dark eyes. Murong Huan was frightened and didn’t dare to speak again.

“Idiot! What did I tell you previously? Our situation isn’t good now. Don’t cause trouble for me! Look at you. What have you done?”

“No matter how bad Huo Siyu is, she’s still the daughter of the Huo Family. She has the Huo Family behind her. What do you have? If you want to die, don’t bring me along!”

Seeing that Murong Huan was frightened, a hint of disdain flashed past Murong Xi’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

She walked over and reached out to her. Her tone softened. “Get up.”

Murong Huan didn’t dare.

She didn’t dare to reach out to her.

Murong Xi continued, “I’m your biological sister. How can I not know what you’re thinking? However, our current situation isn’t like before. You shouldn’t be so rash.”

He approached her and lowered his voice. “It’s not that we can only deal with someone from the front. Our current situation doesn’t allow us to deal with someone like Huo Siyu, who has a family to rely on. Don’t you know why we left home and came here?”

“I’m afraid we can’t go back to the Bruce Family. Since we can’t go back, we have to think of a way to stay. We don’t have a backer now, so we have to find a backer, understand?”

“There are many ways to deal with someone.”

Murong Huan was stunned, then her eyes lit up. “Sister, what do you mean?”

However, Murong Xi had already stood up and returned to her weak and harmless posture. It was as if she wasn’t the one who had said those words earlier and the person who was emitting cold killing intent wasn’t her either.

“I’m just telling you not to be so stupid. Think before you do anything. I want to live. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have spent so much effort to leave Country Y. I don’t care what you want to fight for. Just don’t be stupid and implicate me.”

“Don’t blame me for not reminding you. If you make another stupid mistake and provoke someone you can’t provoke, I won’t care about you!”

Murong Huan trembled in fear.

She was afraid that Murong Xi would really ditch her.

If it wasn’t for Murong Xi, with both the Jones Family and the Bruce Family keeping a close eye on her at such a critical moment, it was impossible for her to leave the Bruce Family and Country Y by herself.

She couldn’t let Murong Xi ditch her, even though she still couldn’t figure out why Murong Xi brought her along when she left the Bruce Family.

Murong Xi clearly didn’t have the best relationship with her in the Bruce Family.

“I understand, Sister.”

“It’s good that you know. Get up quickly. Look at how you look now!”

Murong Huan hurriedly placed her hand in hers and let her pull her up.

“Sister, who do you think that girl is? She actually dares to speak like that and doesn’t take us seriously. We’ve never been humiliated like this since we were young!”

“From what Qin Xuan says, that girl seems to really have some background. But if she really has some background, why haven’t we seen her in the past? We’ve never even heard of her name. I heard Qin Xuan call her… Jinyu?”

“Have you heard of this name before, Sister?”

Murong Xi shook her head.

She looked serious.

It was precisely because she had never heard of her name that she did not act rashly.

She seemed to have a very good relationship with Huo Siyu. Huo Siyu was very ostentatious and did things without any scruples. It was obvious from the fact that she almost killed Murong Huan in public just now.

And that girl seemed to be even more ostentatious than Huo Siyu.

She had a feeling that that girl was even more untouchable than Huo Siyu!

But when did such a person appear?

“Even you’ve never heard of her, let alone me. How did she know about the Bruce Family… The outside world knows that the Bruce Family is not peaceful at most. Very few people know that the Bruce Family is about to… collapse. How did she know about it?”

“Also, I think she means that even if the Bruce Family is still the Bruce Family in the past, she won’t take the Bruce Family seriously either…”

“She actually dares to be so arrogant! I’ll get back at her for the humiliation today sooner or later!”

“Don’t act rashly. She must have something to rely on when she said that. Don’t you see that Qin Xuan is on her side too?”

“Try to stay away from her before we find out more about her.”

“Yes, I know. Oh right, Sister, that Huo Siyu…” Rubbing her burning face and slightly aching neck, Murong Huan’s gaze turned cold. “Her skills are actually so good!”

“Didn’t she go missing since she was young and grew up in an ordinary family? Didn’t she just find her family not long ago? How can she be so formidable?”

Murong Xi paused.

She narrowed her eyes.

She almost forgot about that if she didn’t remind her!

She could see everything clearly in the villa when Murong Huan was looking for trouble and Huo Siyu attacked Murong Huan.

However, she did not stop Murong Huan immediately.

This was the meaning of Murong Huan’s existence. Otherwise, why would she bring Murong Huan along when she spent so much effort to escape from the Bruce Family?

Huo Siyu was obviously a martial arts practitioner.

Although Murong Huan was just a middling martial arts practitioner, ordinary girls were not her match at all. However, she was helpless in front of Huo Siyu and could not even dodge a slap!

This was really interesting.

It seemed like she had to be even more careful.

Suddenly, she saw someone coming over.

It was getting dark and the person was a little far away, so she could not see him clearly.

However, she could still tell who that person was.

She retracted her gaze without a trace and said to Murong Huan, “Don’t bother about this first. Be it that person called Jinyu or Huo Siyu, we shouldn’t provoke them for the time being. Don’t end up worse off. If we’re chased out by Qin Xuan, the gains won’t make up for the losses!”

“Go back first and put some ice on your face. Your face is so swollen. If Young Master Qin comes and sees you like this, you…”

“I’ll go now!” Before Murong Xi could finish speaking, Murong Huan panicked.

Even if she couldn’t see her face, she knew that it must be very swollen.

She didn’t want Young Master Qin to see her in such a sorry state!

Watching her turn and run into the villa, Murong Xi was satisfied.

At this moment, that person gradually approached under the night sky.

He was wearing black trousers and a white shirt. He had a navy blue tie on his shirt and was hugging a suit jacket. He was expressionless, cold, and noble.

Murong Xi could hear her heart pounding.

When that person approached and was about to walk past her, her heart sank. He actually didn’t see her!

She called out, “Young Master Qin!”

It was indeed Qin Hao.

It was Qin Xuan’s birthday today and Huo Siyu was here, so he took the time to come over.

After all, it was a banquet, so he changed into more formal clothes.
