She didn’t elaborate on what happened afterward, but Mrs. Gu could imagine how difficult it must have been for a girl on her own living at the mercy of others.
At this moment, she was treating Su Ruanruan as if she were her own biological daughter, wishing she could immediately have a DNA test done. However, Yuanpei appeased her by saying that they could wait until after she was discharged from the hospital.
She didn’t understand. What did the test have to do with her being discharged?
But now that she was feeling weak and unable to physically pursue the matter herself, she had no choice but to curb her impatience and wait.
Mrs. Gu, listening to Su Ruanruan’s occasional whispering and receiving such tender care, felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility and bliss in her heart.
Su Ruanruan stopped after feeding her half a bowl.
Mrs. Gu was reluctant to let go: "Are you tired? If you are, go rest on the sofa."
"I just woke up." Su Ruanruan peeled another apple, then squeezed juice for Mrs. Gu to drink.
Mrs. Gu, who had been roughed up by two rugged men for half a day and was feeling rather annoyed, now found herself warmed by the tender and considerate gestures of the young girl. She secretly thought: if it turned out that they weren’t biologically related, she would have to alter the DNA results. She must make Yuanpei acknowledge this daughter no matter what.
Gu Ze watched his mother’s expression and tugged at Su Ruanruan’s hair: "My mom has eyes only for you, Ruanruan."
Mrs. Gu choked on her drink and glared at her son. "If you know that, then good! Look at your sister, then look at yourself, always fooling around with girls outside inappropriately."
She revealed a row of small teeth, very cute indeed.
Mrs. Gu was mesmerized once again...
After chatting and joking with the two children for a while, she went to sleep, and a nurse watched over as Gu Ze returned to his company first. Su Ruanruan sat on the sofa reading for a while, then roamed around a bit.
Just as Su Ruanruan came out, she ran into someone.
Bao Ziqi had come to visit Su Qionglin; since he hadn’t accompanied her last night, her endless calls had bombed his phone, and so he came to see her.
Su Qionglin had her insecurities, of course, always behaving submissively towards him.
Bao Ziqi thought to himself with a cool detachment: What’s wrong with marrying a woman ? Obedient, beautiful, and presentable in public.
As he pondered, he raised his eyes and saw Su Ruanruan.
She was dressed very girlishly today.
A light pink long dress, tightly cinched at the waist, accented with a circle of pearls around the neckline and cuffs.
Bao Ziqi looked at her coldly.
Su Ruanruan, unconcerned, nodded lightly at him.
In her mind, Bao Ziqi was just an acquaintance.
At most, maybe her eldest sister’s husband.
Having made the rare trip to Tongsheng Hospital, Su Ruanruan naturally wanted to take a look at Su Yugu’s office.
Just as she reached the elevator, someone grabbed onto her.
The person pleaded in a pitiful voice: "I beg you, Miss Su, please let me off the hook."
Su Ruanruan paused and turned her head to look.
Su Ruanruan didn’t have a good impression of her and replied indifferently: "It seems to me we have no grudge; what do you mean by asking me to let you off?"
Hao Keke’s eyes were red and swollen, her expression even more pitiful: "Teacher Ziqi rejected me, can you honestly say it has nothing to do with you?"
Su Ruanruan was baffled: "If he rejected you, you should go to him, not me."
Hao Keke took a breath: "But ’Starry Sky’ was played by you. How can you say it has nothing to do with you?"
Su Ruanruan could hardly believe what Hao Keke was saying.
Could this girl be any more devoid of principles?
It was clear she had impersonated her, with malicious intent, and now that she had been exposed, she still had the nerve to blame others.
Just as Su Ruanruan was about to respond, Hao Keke burst into tears and said: "You clearly knew why I was favored by Teacher Ziqi. You should have played the piano poorly on purpose, but you deliberately played it well, intending to pick a fight with me."
