Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 422 - 350: However, Before Long, Yun Xiu Actually Came Back Voluntarily

Generally, women sit properly below, not to mention those eyes, as if looking down on someone.

This caused quite a bit of discontent among the people.

But so what? Ruan Mian was indifferent.

It wasn’t until Qin Fu appeared that everyone present restrained their expressions and greeted him in unison.

"Lord Qin." "The lord is here."

Qin Fu smiled slightly, walked straight to Ruan Mian, and spoke with particular meaning.

"Miss Ruan, I have good news to tell you, please move to the side hall."

Everyone present was still in high spirits, the banquet hadn’t officially started, so people were scattered and going about, and few said anything about her leaving with Qin Fu.

It wasn’t until they reached the side hall that Qin Fu dismissed the servants and let Ruan Mian sit properly.

Seeing him so serious, Ruan Mian didn’t bother to beat around the bush with him.

"Lord Qin, have you brought me here for a reason?"

Qin Fu smiled again: "Indeed, I have important news to convey. I believe once Miss Ruan knows, you will understand my sincerity. Our cooperation will then be foolproof and without hindrance."

"Come in."

He called towards the door, and his attendant brought a small box to Ruan Mian.

When Ruan Mian opened the lid, she saw ten fingernails that had been forcibly ripped out inside.

They even had bloodstains on them, looking extremely horrifying.

She furrowed her eyebrows, meeting Qin Fu’s meaningful gaze, faintly sensing something.

Qin Fu spoke decisively: "Miss Ruan, I wonder if you are satisfied with this result. I’ve directly eliminated a major concern of yours. From now on, Wen Qiang will no longer disturb your mind, and you have time to discuss cooperation with me."

Ruan Mian hadn’t expected Qin Fu to be so ruthless, it could be described as insane.

After all, Wen Qiang was his adopted daughter, and he said he would let her die as if it were nothing. Moreover, she didn’t mean what he interpreted.

Ruan Mian lifted her eyes, giving Qin Fu a deep look, whose expression was one of occupying a high position, not taking Ruan Mian seriously.

In his view, lowering himself to calmly discuss terms with Ruan Mian was already a great honor for her.

She should be sensible, accept his goodwill, and become someone he can use.

But Ruan Mian truthfully said: "Lord, you seem to have misunderstood my intentions, but... with Wen Qiang and her father as they were, this outcome still counts as removing harm for the people by you."

She didn’t mention the cooperation but instead asked Qin Fu: "What was Wen Qiang like when you tormented her?"

Qin Fu’s face slightly changed upon hearing this, realizing that Ruan Mian wasn’t as quick to agree with his request as he thought.

This made his expression a bit somber: "Miss Ruan, does her appearance really matter to you at this moment?"

"I have helped you resolve a concern. Do you now have the spare energy to discuss our cooperation?"

Ruan Mian laughed, simply saying: "Naturally, but today’s flower boat banquet, with its vibrant lights and colors, such a beautiful scene—how impolite it would be to waste your time on dull business talk."

"In my opinion, let’s enjoy this first, and I will discuss matters with you later."

Qin Fu’s lips moved slightly. He wasn’t in a hurry, but he distinctly felt that Ruan Mian was stalling for time.

He still didn’t know what scheme she was hatching.

If it were someone else, Qin Fu would have long since acted decisively.

But the opposite was Ruan Mian, sparking his curiosity, wanting to know what Ruan Mian’s real intentions were—he was keen to see what excuse she could come up with.

Although not in a rush, he was slightly displeased and waved his hand grandiosely, feigning generosity.

"All right, to show sincerity, I am willing to follow Miss Ruan’s words. Tonight, let’s enjoy ourselves, and whenever Miss Ruan wishes to discuss business, come find me anytime, as you reside in my residence, which is very convenient."

Saying this, he turned and left first.

Outside the cabin, it was no longer the scene from the beginning by the shore; instead, these few flower boats had stopped at a dock of a restaurant by the shore.

Though they hadn’t left the boat, the ships no longer swayed, and inside, the dancing girls were dancing more vigorously.

There were several Piano Masters, truly a lively and extravagant scene, with everyone immersed in pleasure and indulgence.

Ruan Mian walked out of the cabin and was about to go to the grand mansion when, while passing through the narrow corridor of the boat’s deck, she saw a man blocking a Piano Master’s path.

The Piano Master was partially hiding behind a pipa, even though fully clothed, her graceful figure was still discernible.
