Chapter 525: Unfit Enemies

The girl in the long white gown froze again.
She tightened her grip on the girl and pinched her arm until it hurt. She almost pointed at her and called her an idiot.
The girl was in pain. She looked up and was about to complain when she was glared at.
She was scared!
She immediately fell silent!
“I’m sorry, Miss Huo. My younger sister is spoiled by my family. She speaks carelessly. I hope you don’t take it to heart.” The apology was very appropriate and no one could find fault with her. She had the typical demeanor of a daughter of a wealthy family.
However, Huo Siyu did not buy it. “I’m sorry, I really took it to heart.”
“How should I address the two of you? Let’s rephrase the question. Which family do the two of you belong to? In order to prevent anyone saying that I s.n.a.t.c.hed Qin Hao in the future, I think I have to go home and ask if Qin Hao has another fiancée before my engagement with him is decided. Or if he had a girlfriend.”
The two families had already decided on an engagement when she was three years old and Qin Hao was nine years old. How could Qin Hao have a fiancée before that?
Girlfriend?
He had a girlfriend at the age of nine?
Was she joking?
Even if someone had a girlfriend at such a young age, that person would definitely not be Qin Hao!
Honest, down-to-earth and righteous. This was the evaluation the outside world gave Qin Hao!
Not to mention about having a girlfriend when he was nine years old, if he wasn’t engaged, Qin Hao would probably still be a bachelor who didn’t know how to love!
Huo Siyu’s words were obviously mocking them.
Those who could tell were trying not to laugh.
Hearing Qin Xuan call them cousins, they roughly guessed the ident.i.ties of the two sisters.
It was said that they were from a big family overseas. They did not know what big family they were from, but their family background was not simple. They were not someone they could afford to provoke.
That was why they suppressed their laughter.
No wonder she dared to openly provoke Huo Siyu. She actually had a backer.
The girl in the long white gown looked at Huo Siyu with a dark gaze when she heard that.
However, she quickly hid it.
“Miss Huo, you must be joking. My sister is the same age as you. You were only three years old when you were betrothed to Young Master Qin. Young Master Qin was only nine years old. Before that, Young Master Qin didn’t have any other fiancée, let alone a girlfriend.”
“My sister is spoiled. She speaks without thinking. Please don’t take it to heart.”
“However, since Miss Huo is asking about our ident.i.ties, it would seem rude if I don’t say it.”
“We’re from the Bruce Family in Country Y. I wonder if Miss Huo has heard of the Bruce Family? My name is Xi Bruce, and my sister’s name is Huan Bruce. It’s a little difficult to remember her name. Our mother and Xuanxuan’s mother are cousins. Her surname is Murong, and we also have Chinese names. My name is Murong Xi, and my sister’s name is Murong Huan.”
The Bruce Family?
The people who had heard of the Bruce Family gasped.
That was the number one family in Country Y!
Although they had recently heard that the Jones Family was gradually replacing the Bruce Family, the Bruce Family’s foundation was not something that an ordinary family could compare to even in a crisis.
The Bruce Family’s status in Country Y was equivalent to the Yin Family, the Min Family, and the Qin Family’s status!
No wonder she dared to be so arrogant!
In fact, very few people knew the exact situation of the Bruce Family now.
Not to mention the Bruce Family’s internal conflict, the Jones Family had already surpa.s.sed its status in Country Y.
After settling Liu Guang, Bo Lang returned to Country Y to focus on dealing with the Bruce Family. The Bruce Family was already at the end of its rope. The Jones Family was just short of an opportunity to completely replace it.
Others might not know this, but Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu knew it very well.
They smiled at each other.
She dared to be so arrogant. They thought that she was someone with an extraordinary background.
It turned out to be the Bruce Family.
The Bruce Family was almost finished, but Murong Huan was still being so arrogant here. Wasn’t she stupid?
Now, Bo Lang had already started to fulfill the conditions for Yan Jinyu’s cooperation, which was to let the Empire Group expand its business in Country Y.
Half a month ago, Yin Jiujin had sent someone to personally contact Bo Lang.
The Jones Family could even help the Empire Group expand its business. It was obvious that it wouldn’t take them much effort to deal with the Bruce Family now.
It was only a matter of time before the Bruce Family completely disappeared from Country Y.
“So you’re the daughter of the Bruce Family.”
Murong Xi did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Huo Siyu’s tone was mocking when she said that.
“Are you afraid now?” Murong Huan thought that Huo Siyu was frightened by the Bruce Family’s name and was very arrogant.
“If you’re sensible, you’d better cancel the engagement with Young Master Qin immediately. Otherwise, our Bruce Family will definitely not let you off! We definitely won’t let the Huo Family off! The Huo Family behind you can barely be considered a big family in the country, but in front of the Bruce Family, it’s completely inadequate!”
“…” The others.
Although the Bruce Family was indeed very formidable, the Huo Family was not bad either, okay?
That was an existence that could compare to the three top families in the capital. It was not a small family.
Moreover, the Bruce Family had not been peaceful recently. It was just that their foundation was deep and not something that other small families could compare to. If they wanted to compare with the Huo Family, the current Bruce Family might not be able to compare to the Huo Family.
Huo Siyu’s lips twitched.
To be honest, she was a little embarra.s.sed for Murong Huan for boasting like this.
“Tsk tsk, I’m so afraid! Miss Murong… Oh, no, it should be Miss Bruce. Then, Miss Bruce, let me see how the Bruce Family doesn’t let me off and how they won’t let the Huo Family off, okay?”
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
Her expression turned cold. “Cancel the engagement? You sure dare to think about it!”
“…Just you wait!” Murong Huan was still very arrogant, even though she lacked confidence for a brief moment.
Only Murong Xi looked at Huo Siyu thoughtfully before lowering her eyes to hide the emotions in them. “I apologize to Miss Huo for what my sister said just now again. We have no intention of being enemies with Miss Huo, nor do we have any intention of being enemies with the Huo Family.”
“Did you not have the intentions to become enemies with us or are you unfit to become enemies with us?”
Everyone looked over and saw Yan Jinyu standing there with a faint smile.
Her gaze was pure and she had a faint smile on her face. She looked very clean and exuded an innocent sensation.
Such a person should be the least lethal, but when Murong Xi saw her, she was inexplicably shocked.
For her, and for her words.
She had been out for so long, but yet she actually didn’t realize that there was such an outstanding person here!
Was it because she was too focused on Huo Siyu that she ignored others, or was it because this girl had restrained her aura so well that she did not notice her?
And what did she mean by that?
Did she know the current situation of the Bruce Family?
No, no, no! She admitted that the current situation of the Bruce Family could not be hidden from some big shots. However, this girl who looked outstanding but was an unknown figure, it should be impossible for her to come into contact with that level to understand the exact situation.
Murong Xi felt that Yan Jinyu was unknown because she had often come to the capital. She had lived in the capital for a long time in her early years, but she had never seen such a young lady in the capital’s great families.
In other words, she did not know which small family Yan Jinyu came from.
Hence, it was impossible for Yan Jinyu to know the exact situation of the Bruce Family!
Although she thought so, Murong Xi still couldn’t ignore the fear she felt for this girl.
“May I know who this lady is?”
Yan Jinyu looked at her and smiled mockingly.
She retracted her gaze and ignored her. She walked towards Qin Xuan, “Xuanxuan, happy birthday. This is your gift.”
Then, she said to Huo Siyu, “Little Rain, it’s Xuanxuan’s birthday today. Let’s leave it at that for now. If anyone dares to find trouble with you again, don’t hold back anymore.”
“It’s just the Bruce Family.”
It was just the Bruce Family!
How arrogant!
Who exactly was this girl?
It shocked everyone, even Murong Xi and Murong Huan.
Yan Jinyu’s next words shocked them even more.
She said, “We didn’t even take the Bruce Family seriously in the past, let alone the current Bruce Family.”
Glancing at the shocked Murong Xi and Murong Huan, Yan Jinyu’s smile was faint. “I really don’t know how a family that’s about to reach its end can be so arrogant.”
Huo Siyu smiled. “Beauty Yu is right. I really don’t know why a family that is about to reach its end can be so arrogant.”
“Don’t worry, Beauty Yu. I only spared her today on account of Xuanxuan. If there’s a next time, I won’t hold back.”
Murong Xi’s face turned pale.
Her body swayed slightly.
Murong Huan couldn’t be arrogant anymore either.
Everyone’s gazes wandered between them and they were increasingly shocked.
Was the Bruce Family reaching its end?
Looking at Murong Xi and Murong Huan’s reaction, it didn’t seem to be fake?
Qin Xuan coughed dryly and took the gift from Yan Jinyu, “Thank you, Jinyu.”
Zhao Linlin also recovered from her shock and handed over a gift, “…Xuanxuan, happy birthday..” She felt like she had just watched a big show.
