Chapter 629: Chapter 629

Su Ruanruan was still washing her hands.

She said coldly, "Third Brother is truly in high spirits!"

He Jitang, ranking third in the family, had two older sisters who were married abroad.

The sole son, exceedingly favored.

Leaning against the doorway of the washroom, He Jitang silently sized up Su Ruanruan.

She was very beautiful, even more so than the famous actors.

Just a bit too prudish.

Yet in such a situation, she could remain calm without blushing.

Exhaling a plume of smoke, He Jitang said, "Go check on that woman."

Su Ruanruan’s heart shuddered.

She glanced at He Jitang, then headed to the bedroom.

There, Shui Linglong was sprawled by the bedside, seemingly fainted.

Her hair was disheveled, and her makeup smeared.

The cheongsam she wore hung loosely, looking quite unbecoming.

Su Ruanruan sighed inwardly: What’s the use!

This woman probably thought she could gain the favor of the noble son, unaware of the fate that befalls women sent here. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novᴇlfire.net

She went over to examine her.

Her condition was truly pitiful.

Su Ruanruan covered her with a quilt, then opened the door to call a servant to bring the medicine box.

In the meanwhile, Shui Linglong came to.

She harbored hostility towards Su Ruanruan.

Su Ruanruan said, "Third Brother asked me to check on you!"

If she hadn’t been confined here, she would never meddle in such trivial matters.

They were both contemptible, one selling, the other buying!

Shui Linglong regained her senses, realizing that she was facing Miss Su.

She wanted to ingratiate herself, and said weakly, "Young Master Jitang is not gentle!"

Su Ruanruan didn’t understand He Jitang, knowing only that without sentiment, men who share her bed wouldn’t take responsibility.

Her lips pursed, but she couldn’t help but speak up, "Miss Shui sings Kunqu opera so well, why not devote yourself to the art?"

Shui Linglong chuckled.

She said, "Accompanying Young Master Jitang once can get me an apartment. You know, performing once on stage earns me no more than ten thousand!"

Su Ruanruan fell silent.

She applied medicine to the actress.

The actress was waiting for He Jitang, still longing for his pity.

But the servant, observing the household rules, carried her away.

Su Ruanruan was also about to leave, but a robust servant stopped her.

Yet the servant spoke politely, "Young Master Jitang wishes to speak with Miss Su, please rest assured. As Third Brother’s sister, he respects you!"

Su Ruanruan scoffed: Forced to witness debauchery, what kind of respect is that!

She asked him, "What is your name?"

The servant replied stiffly, "I am called Chen Er!"

Su Ruanruan took note.

Unable to leave, she could only sit in the living room to drink tea.

He Jitang took a bath, changing into a new outfit.

He then came out to keep company.

Unable to hold back, Su Ruanruan mocked, "Is this how Third Brother treats his guests?"

He Jitang sat down beside her.

He said, "You took the green plums as well, consider it a consultation fee!"

Su Ruanruan was stunned.

She was extremely clever and quickly realized that the green plums were probably a tribute from He Jitang to Old Madam He.

The intention was to lure her here.

Su Ruanruan moderated her tone: "Third Brother really didn’t have to do this."

She was indeed displeased.

He Jitang said, "The little girl was impertinent, I’ll break her legs to apologize to you."

Su Ruanruan, not wishing to harm the innocent, let it slide.

The two sat quietly for a moment.

He Jitang finally said, "I heard you cured Anran’s illness."

Su Ruanruan sipped her tea indifferently, waiting for him to continue.

He Jitang watched her and after a while said, "I have a patient I would like you to see."

Su Ruanruan knew, this was his true purpose.

She asked, "What kind of person is it?"

He Jitang refused to disclose.

He said, "Just wait, you’ll meet them eventually."

Su Ruanruan stood up, restraining herself from cursing out loud!

Just then, someone stumbled into the doorway.

It was the actress from before.

The woman knelt by He Jitang’s feet, beseechingly pleading, "Young Master Jitang, let me stay by your side!"

He Jitang had tasted her charms.

The woman felt, he treated her no ordinary way.
