Chapter 871: A Creep at the Door
Su Ruanruan held onto Miss Yan’s hand.She softly said, "At this moment, even Second Young Master Huo does not know Chen Xishan’s true face. If you easily give him your body, you may not be able to fight against that malicious woman! If sister trusts me, leave this to me to plan for you."
Yan Jing had suffered humiliation for many years, how could she not want to clear her grievances?
Not to mention Huo Shaoting, even her parents could then hold their heads high and live with dignity, instead of being pointed at by others.
Over the years, they had suffered no less than her.
At that moment, Miss Yan’s eyes brimmed with tears.
She said, "I am willing to follow Miss Su’s arrangements."
Su Ruanruan smiled gently, "Just call me Ruanruan!"
Yan Jing also smiled faintly; her smile was gentle and beautiful, a rare beauty.
Su Ruanruan thought: No wonder Second Young Master Huo had always been unable to forget her, truly stunning!
Just then, Aunt Li came over.
She wrung her apron, eyes burning, "Miss Su, a crazy man is at the door, insisting that his beloved woman is inside. He looks decently dressed, so I haven’t thrown him out!"
Su Ruanruan turned her head and smiled, "That must be Second Young Master Huo!"
She intentionally asked, "Does Sister Yan want to see him?"
Yan Jing indeed wanted to see him, but firstly, she had her dignity to maintain, and secondly, she had received Su Ruanruan’s guidance.
She hardened her heart and said to Aunt Li, "Please tell Second Young Master that there’s no need for me to see him."
Aunt Li immediately went to deliver the message.
Su Ruanruan held Miss Yan in high regard.
She advised Miss Yan to drink milk: "Sister Yan only needs to present herself radiantly and achieve a stable career, then there’s nothing to fear! As for dealing with Chen Xishan, we must take it step by step."
Yan Jing nodded, "I trust you."
...
At the entrance.
Huo Shaoting waited foolishly until Aunt Li approached.
He anxiously asked, "Miss Yan Jing is here with you, right?"
Aunt Li snorted through her nose and responded, "Oh."
She continued, "But Miss Yan doesn’t want to see you! She said there’s truly no need to meet."
Huo Shaoting was greatly upset.
He couldn’t believe it and requested Aunt Li to relay his message again.
Aunt Li smirked mockingly, "I must say, Second Young Master Huo, you are quite amusing! You have a wife at home, an impressive figure at that, and yet you seek to meet Miss Yan so openly in broad daylight. Pray tell, if your wife troubles and harms her, can you protect her? Are you determined to sever ties with that vicious woman and marry Miss Yan?"
Huo Shaoting was stunned.
He indeed had not thought that far.
He did not love Chen Xishan and knew her to be deceitful, but they had two children.
His hesitation amused Aunt Li.
Aunt Li spat and scolded, "Turns out, Second Young Master Huo is also just a dog-man sniffing around for fishy scent!"
After cursing, Aunt Li left and closed the door.
Huo Shaoting, from a privileged background, had never suffered such humiliation, especially from a servant.
He wanted to leave in anger but couldn’t bear to part with Yan Jing.
She was the woman he truly loved! He couldn’t abandon her for a shrewd woman, besides, he wasn’t as contemptible as all that... He indeed had feelings for Yan Jing, but more than that, he wished to compensate her and ensure her well-being.
He wanted the woman he loved to be clothed in fine garments and enjoy a prosperous life, never to wander again!
Meanwhile, Aunt Li reported back.
She recounted the situation vividly from start to finish.
Yan Jing felt distressed but was sweetened knowing Second Young Master Huo hadn’t left.
Su Ruanruan squeezed her hand gently and said, "Sister, you can rest assured, he cares deeply for you, not just longing for your body."
Yan Jing’s feelings grew more complicated.
She said, "We can’t let him wait outside endlessly, especially in today’s heat."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bao Jingyan arrived.
