Capítulo 1047: Chapter 1048: Your Nose Is Bleeding…
Staring at that tall and straight back, Ruan Qiuting was still dazed by his unexpected agreent.
He actually… agreed?
Sure enough, for the sake of inheritance rights, he would agree to the engagent with her.
Thinking of this, Ruan Qiuting smiled.
In a wealthy family, no affection is necessary; only a high and mighty status is needed, and she would be the winner.
.
In the ancient castle, another quiet study room.
“Father, in half a month, he will rightfully beco the greatest leader of the Li Consortium. If we sit idly by, what position will we have in the consortium in the future?”
Li Mingsen, looking at the announced engagent news, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
“It seems that this ti we really need to eliminate the problem at its root, and we can’t leave any traces.”
“Then I will arrange it imdiately.”
“Alright, rember to be extra cautious. Once they seize an opportunity, we’ll both be kicked out of the consortium!”
“I understand, Father.”
With that, Li Mingsen turned and left the study room.
…
As the engagent date approached, Ruan Qiuting was not idle these days but often visited the Li Family, fostering a close relationship with Xia Xing.
At nine thirty in the morning, as she passed through the city center of Fancheng, she suddenly saw two familiar figures.
“Stop the car!”
“Screech—”
Caught off guard by her sudden command, the driver quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Through the car window, Ruan Qiuting saw Xia Xing and Huo Yishan entering a large supermarket together.
She and Li Yuan were getting engaged in a few days, so why was Xia Xing, as his mother, still shopping with Huo Yishan?
Driven by curiosity, Ruan Qiuting also got out of the car and entered the supermarket.
In the fruits and vegetables section, Xia Xing was pushing a shopping cart, selecting ingredients for lunch with Huo Yishan.
“Auntie, should we buy so broccoli? It’s anti-cancer.” Huo Yishan picked up a broccoli and smiled at Xia Xing.
Upon hearing “anti-cancer,” Xia Xing’s face faltered for a mont and turned slightly pale, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled, “Do you like to eat it?”
“It’s delicious in stir fry.”
“Then let’s buy it, Auntie will cook it for you!”
Huo Yishan smiled even more brightly, “Hehe, great!”
With that said, she picked up two and put them in a transparent bag, then went to weigh them and put them in the shopping cart.
Following them from not too far behind, Ruan Qiuting, as she watched the two happily shopping, they seed like a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair without any discord, which only deepened the jealousy in her heart.
Isn’t she supposed to be the future daughter-in-law? Why does Xia Xing have such a good relationship with Huo Yishan, completely disregarding her feelings? She obviously knows she dislikes Huo Yishan the most!
Watching the two figures chatting and laughing not far away, Ruan Qiuting clenched her hand tightly at her side.
“Auntie, shall we buy so spaghetti?” Italian pasta is Huo Yishan’s favorite.
Xia Xing smiled gently, “Sure.”
Huo Yishan turned her head, looked around, and finally walked towards the shelf filled with various noodles.
“Over there—” Turning her head, as she saw Xia Xing, Huo Yishan’s smile suddenly froze, and then her pupils widened.
Noticing her unusual expression, Xia Xing was also taken aback, “What’s wrong?”
“Auntie, you… your nose is bleeding…”
Hearing this, Xia Xing’s face showed a hint of surprise, and she quickly raised her hand to feel below her nose, indeed finding it wet.
She hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover it, her expression tinged with panic.
