Chapter 188: Chapter 189: Get married first? _1 Chapter 188: Chapter 189: Get married first? _1 Butler Lin approached them politely. Huang Nianshuang and the others dared not slack off and nervously climbed aboard the car. Seeing Qiao Xiaren, Si Limo’s face was cold, “I will take her to the hospital.”
“Very well, General.”
Butler Lin didn’t question at all. Liao Ling and Qiao Xiaren shared a glance and then got into another black car. They were indeed on edge throughout their meal and unsure of Shi Ruo’s fate.
Qiao Xiaren walked past Nie Yitong, leaving behind a chilling remark, “Nie Yitong, you greatly overestimate your own importance to others.”
Nie Yitong went pale but remained silent. She had known all along. That little bitch couldn’t be spared!
Having said that, Qiao Xiaren got into the car directly and headed for the hospital. In her previous life, nothing serious had happened to Shi Ruo, but this life had too many changes. Events weren’t following the same trajectory and Qiao Xiaren harbored some concerns.
“Don’t worry too much, Shangguan Ye is there. He will make absolutely sure nothing happens to her.”
“That remains to be seen. I didn’t expect the enemy to play such a hand.” Looking at the man driving the car, Qiao Xiaren spoke, “It seems like you know Shangguan Ye very well. What’s his background?”
Qiao Xiaren didn’t know much about Shangguan Ye. Although she knew he was a rich young master of some influential family, she didn’t fully understand his background. Considering that he could make a popular actress disappear from the entertainment circle, it was clear that his means were astounding.
“Shangguan Ye is the eldest son of the Shangguan family.” Si Limo explained, “You haven’t been in the Capital for long, so you’re not too acquainted with its background. Shangguan belongs to one of the four major families in the Capital. He is the eldest son of the Shangguan family.”
Qiao Xiaren inquired, puzzled, “Four major families?”
She seemed to have heard about it in her previous life but did not have a clear understanding of who belonged to these four major families.
“The four major families are the Shangguan family, the Lu family, the Gu family, and the Qiao family.” Si Limo continued, “It is said that these four families originated during the Warring States era, they are the descendants of the ancient imperial family and gradually evolved into the four major families in the Capital controlling almost the entire economic lifeline of the Capital. In other words, these four major families are truly aristocratic families.”
Only then did Qiao Xiaren understand. Turns out Shangguan Ye came from such an astounding background. The consequences of offending him would be unimaginable.
“Do not worry too much, I will ensure your safety. He wouldn’t dare to touch my woman.” Vowing his promise, Si Limo caught Qiao Xiaren’s gaze, her lips curled in a slight smirk, “Don’t speak so confidently. How did I become your woman? Besides, I can take whatever comes next. I would like to see who poses such a challenge to me.”
“Once you join the company, we will spend more time together.” a mysterious ripple shone in Si Limo’s deep black eyes, “Why don’t we keep up with the trend.”
