Chapter 547: If I had known, why bother in the first place
Chapter 547: If I had known, why bother in the first place
Qin Ruan's worried expression was seen by Hou Yunjiao.
He elegantly adjusted the glasses on his nose.
"Be good, listen to me. You'll see me in five minutes."
Hou Yunjiao's gentle and melodious voice remained as gentle as before.
But it carried an unquestionable determination.
Qin Ruan sensed his resolute attitude and nodded gently, "If you don't come out in five minutes, I'll come in."
"Good girl."
Hou Yunjiao was pleased by her words. He lowered his head and kissed Qin Ruan's lips once again.
Qin Ruan pursed her lips, disguising her discomfort with disdain, and walked towards the door.
She didn't look back before leaving.
Naturally, she couldn't see Nangong Chang's embarrassed expression.
Just witnessing Hou Yunjiao and Qin Ruan's kiss was enough to make him feel ashamed.
For him, it was both a humiliation and a thrilling excitement.
This feeling addicted him.
His eyes turned red, and a faint blush appeared on his pale face.
After Qin Ruan left the room, Hou Yunjiao sat on the seat where Qin Ruan had been sitting before.
Every movement and gesture he made exuded invisible elegance.
Hou Yunjiao leaned back on the seat, his posture noble and graceful.
With his eyes slightly lowered, he observed Nangong Chang's embarrassment, his tone clear and chilling.
"Nangong Chang, the rapid downfall of the Nangong family is all because of your coveting of my wife."
"Hahaha..."
Nangong Chang burst into laughter, his facial expression mad.
While his gaze was shocked by Third Young Master's words, there was also a hint of hope.
"Hou Yunjiao, so you are also a petty person! Just because of a woman, you want to destroy my Nangong family!"
Hou Yunjiao's thin lips curled up with a touch of disdain, "Nangong Chang, don't try to falsely accuse the Hou family of being unjust and unrighteous. The Hou family allowed your Nangong family to climb up, giving you numerous opportunities, but we never allowed you to step on the corpses of the Hou family members to climb higher."
"Qin Ruan is my wife, and the child she is carrying in her belly is mine. If your Nangong family harms her and the child, it will destroy the foundation of my Hou family."
Nangong Chang sneered disdainfully, "We haven't done anything! If the Hou family dares to make a move against the Nangong family, other clans won't just stand by!"
Huo Yunjiao scoffed lightly, his gaze ice-cold.
In his stare at Nangong Chang, there was undisguised contempt. "Do you think the Hou family would allow the Nangong family to make a move?"
"Perhaps you don't know yet, but this time the Hou family has initiated an A-level operation. Most of the Nangong family's industries have already been transferred to the Xiao family. If it weren't for the approval of other clans and aristocratic families, do you think the Hou family's operation could proceed officially?"
"No! This can't be possible!" Nangong Chang's pupils dilated rapidly, his expression dumbfounded.
He looked at Hou Yunjiao's eyes, filled with a faint smile, and felt a chill run down his spine.
Nangong Chang was well aware of what the Hou family's A-level operation represented.
It meant the complete extermination of the Nangong family!
Third Young Master was like a born king, looking down upon Nangong Chang's defeat.
His noble and elegant demeanor remained unchanged, and he handled everything with ease.
Hou Yunjiao's graceful lips moved slightly. "I won't allow you to appear in my sight again. Your existence disgusts me. Cherish the little time you have left, whether it be repentance or anger, it's all the result of your own actions."
"No! Hou Yunjiao, you can't do this!!"
Ignoring the pain in his arms, Nangong Chang lunged towards Hou Yunjiao.
His body was far from its former self, how could he reach Hou Yunjiao?
Halfway through his leap, his body weakened and he collapsed beside the bed.
Hou Yunjiao stood up, flicked the nonexistent dust off his sleeve, and looked down at the disheveled Nangong Chang.
"If only I had known earlier, why bother in the first place."
With that, he turned and left.
"Hou Yunjiao, you will meet a terrible end!"
Nangong Chang's mournful curse echoed behind him.
Knowing that his life was limited to less than ten years, Third Young Master responded with a light laugh.
He didn't care about the other's curse at all.
It meant nothing to him.
Hou Yunjiao continued walking without stopping.
He was about to reach the door when the fallen Nangong Chang uttered words without restraint, "Hou Yunjiao, since you care so much about that woman, even if I become a ghost, I will sleep with your woman! Just you wait, one day, I will make her mine by any means necessary!"
Standing in front of the door, with his hand already extended, Hou Yunjiao heard Nangong Chang's nonsense clearly.
A calmness retreated in his eyes, and a cold and ruthless expression emerged on his handsome face.
Hou Yunjiao's Adam's apple moved uncontrollably, and he gently exhaled.
Some people really can't stand the slow pace of death and rush to meet their demise.
Hou Yunjiao did not stop; he was getting closer to the door.
With a click, he locked the door from inside the room.
Hou Yunjiao turned around, adjusting the glasses on his nose.
He slightly raised his eyes, sharp as blades, and directed a displeased gaze at Nangong Chang, who was in a disheveled state on the bed. His thin lips pursed.
With elegant and composed footsteps, Hou Yunjiao slowly approached Nangong Chang, who was collapsed by the bedside.
Huo Yunjiao's voice remained calm. "Nangong Chang, I haven't been angry for many years."
Nangong Chang's eyes gleamed with malice, wishing to perish together with him.
He laughed arrogantly, "To be able to make you angry, that is truly my honor!"
Hou Yunjiao's light laughter filled the room.
He seemed to have heard something amusing, and the corner of his lips twitched. "In these years, I have cultivated my character and never had the intention to extinguish someone's life. You are the first in recent years, indeed, it should be an honor."
Hou Yunjiao walked to the bedside, removed his coat, and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt.
His movements were so elegant that they were pleasing to the eye.
Nangong Chang placed his hands on the edge of the bed, looked up at the man standing beside him, and suddenly a sinister idea took hold. He used his head to strike a certain area of Huo Yunjiao's body.
His head barely touched the expensive fabric before his hair was fiercely pulled up.
Hou Yunjiao grabbed Nangong Chang's hair and lifted him up, nearly half of his body suspended in the air.
Nangong Chang, who had planned to provoke Hou Yunjiao by opening his mouth, faced his icy and chilling eyes emitting a cold gleam and found himself unable to utter a single word.
In Third Young Master's raging gaze, a storm surged towards Nangong Chang.
His aura was as sharp as a blade, and Nangong Chang was overwhelmed by the terrifying aura, unable to utter a sound.
In the next second, he felt his body flying through the air.
"Bang!"
His body collided with the specially crafted wall.
Nangong Chang didn't even have a chance to cry out in pain as he opened his mouth.
"Splurt!"
Fresh red blood sprayed from his mouth.
In the quiet room, besides the sound of him spitting blood, the footsteps were distinctly audible.
These footsteps seemed to trample on Nangong Chang's heart.
It made his heart palpitate, his body ached to the bone.
A pair of personally tailored handmade leather shoes appeared in his line of sight.
Dragging his injured arm, Nangong Chang slowly moved his body, shrinking into the corner of the wall.
He seemed afraid.
Hou Yunjiao's actions were too ruthless, causing him to instinctively avoid the pain.
As Nangong Chang moved, every organ in his body began to ache.
His internal organs were damaged.
