The Old Madam Bao gradually closed her eyes, calming her mind, and said, "Ah Jin will come later, are you sure you want to stay here?"
"Mom, are you senile, Ah Jin at this moment..." Third Master Bao hadn’t finished speaking when the Old Madam Bao suddenly opened her eyes, a sharp gaze sweeping over him. He immediately realized what he had said, and stood up trembling, bowing his head, "Mom, I spoke without thinking, I didn’t mean to offend you."
Third Master Bao spoke straightforwardly, without any regard.
The Old Madam Bao gave her youngest son a sidelong glance, suppressing her anger, "You go back first, I’ll handle this matter."
If he stayed any longer, the Old Madam Bao couldn’t guarantee she wouldn’t be infuriated to death by him!
Hearing this, Third Master Bao trembled, but didn’t dare to defy the old lady, "Okay, I’ll head home first then." After all, his ruthless nephew would also come later, making Third Master Bao somewhat apprehensive.
After speaking, Third Master Bao respectfully withdrew.
In the hall, the Old Madam Bao sat in the highest seat, the tea beside her had unknowingly cooled. The servants standing behind her would always swiftly replace it with a fresh hot cup of tea.
In the dim private room, there wasn’t a trace of light, the curtains tightly drawn, and a haze of smoke filled the spacious room.
In a corner, a man held a cigarette between his fingers, his deep eyes gleaming with a faint bloodthirsty light in the darkness. On the nearby high-legged tea table, crystalline glass cups lay scattered.
Sitting next to the man was the master from the Su Family!
Su Nan lay back on the sofa, looking at the man smoking incessantly, and couldn’t help but lament, "Big brother, can’t you at least make a sound?" It’s broad daylight and staying in this pitch-black room was bad enough, all the smoke wafting into his face made it hard for him to breathe.
Suppressing his anger, Su Nan had a bad feeling seeing the man’s cold demeanor.
This person was usually emotionally stable, never before so... indulgent!
Yes, indulgent! The rıghtful source is 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍
He was smoking so indulgently as if the cigarettes were air, wasn’t that exactly indulgence?
Su Nan suddenly stood up, waving away the thick smoke in front of him, "You’ve been silent since you walked in, acting puts me in a tough spot!" Su Nan continued to complain.
"Did I force you to stay here?" Bao Shaojin raised his brows slightly, his voice clear.
Su Nan felt a blockage in his chest... he had heard someone say casually, "Mr. Bao came to ’Qin Land’ early this morning." Since he was residing nearby, he decided to come by the private room.
Inside, there was a thick smell of smoke and despite the darkness, the eccentric man refused to turn on the lights. Su Nan sensed an incoming gossip and opted to stay in the room. Now, over an hour later, not only did he find no gossip, he hasn’t even seen a mosquito leg, and was now being rebutted mercilessly, which filled him with anger!
"Fine, I’ll leave." Su Nan sulked.
Bao Shaojin remained unmoved, putting out his cigarette in the ashtray after it burned out.
Su Nan, witnessing his composed demeanor, felt hesitant to stand or leave, his captivating almond-shaped eyes glancing around to observe the man’s reaction.
As Su Nan started to feel bored, a knock on the door sounded, prompting him to glance over and quickly sit back in his original position. His keen senses spiked, sensing something unusual in the air.
Eh, he might have something to glean!
The private room door was pushed open, Assistant Lin’s tall figure strode towards Bao Shaojin.
Simultaneously, the attendant by the door turned on the lights one by one.
The previously dim room instantly lit up brightly, prompting Su Nan to quickly shield his eyes from the strong light, not forgetting to peek through his fingers.
Behind Assistant Lin were a man and a woman, the man Su Nan recognized as Bao Cheng, the young woman wasn’t familiar to him.
"Sir." Assistant Lin stood in front of the tea table, nodded, and then stepped aside.
Meanwhile, upon entering "Qin Land", both Bao Cheng and Jiang Keke were incredibly pale, especially Bao Cheng.
After all, Jiang Keke was a woman, no matter how excessive her actions, her cousin wouldn’t hit a woman, right? So, the only one his cousin might hit was himself. Thinking of this, Bao Cheng stopped at a distance, not daring to approach.
As for Jiang Keke, upon stepping into this opulent place worth its weight in gold, she looked around in awe at the luxurious surroundings. Before this, she thought she had seen the world by following Bao Cheng, but upon arriving at "Qin Land", she realized how naive she was.
"Brother!" Bao Cheng called timidly.
Lost in her thoughts, Jiang Keke quickly snapped to attention, standing obediently and sidling closer to Bao Cheng, also calling out, "Brother!"
Bao Shaojin’s previously expressionless face suddenly lifted upon hearing the woman’s "Brother," his eerie gaze landing on Jiang Keke, his voice tinged with frost and distance, "Don’t pretend to be relatives."
The man’s deliberate words plunged the entire room into silence.
Su Nan quietly reached for a glass of rich red wine, swirling it lightly in the air, the next moment elegantly sipping from it, a look of satisfaction appearing on his handsome face.
Inside, he’s thinking: Brother’s affairs are truly intriguing!
"Now you’re capable, making plans against me?" Bao Shaojin’s voice filled with fatigue, his cold, dark eyes seemed to regard the two not far away as lifeless objects.
"Brother, I was wrong."
Hearing the rebuke, Bao Cheng was so scared that his legs gave way, collapsing to the ground, his posture looking eerily like... kneeling.
Jiang Keke became nervous upon seeing Bao Cheng’s actions, her hands at her sides began to tremble. From the moment she entered, she’d kept her head down, as Bao Cheng had previously instructed, avoiding eye contact with the man. Bao Cheng had said his cousin’s gaze could kill.
"Do you think admitting a mistake will make me let you off?"
Bao Shaojin’s deep, dark pupils were filled with an almost pathological obsession.
Bao Cheng was so frightened that he dared not reply.
The two trembling in the distance didn’t notice Bao Shaojin’s changes, but Su Nan, closest to Bao Shaojin, saw it all clearly.
Just now Bao Shaojin’s eyes actually showed a bloodthirsty hue, Su Nan’s grip on the wine glass tightened, Bao Cheng was his cousin, if Bao Cheng hadn’t touched Shaojin’s reverse scales, it would have been impossible for him to develop such ruthless thoughts.
Su Nan focused, his expression turning serious, suddenly feeling today’s drama increasingly thrilling, convinced coming to chat with his big brother today was the right decision!
Vaguely, Su Nan felt like he might have guessed why someone was angry.
