He leaned in to trap her.
"Susu Ruanruan, all you rely on is Bao Jingyan!"
"But do you know, the moment his ambition is exposed, my father will definitely reign him in! In his lifetime, the grand vision of the Sun Family will probably never be fulfilled."
Su Ruanruan tilted her head up to look at him: "I will leave the Bao Family."
Bao Ziqi was stunned.
After a moment, he found his voice again: "For Bao Jingyan?"
"For myself." Su Ruanruan’s expression was indifferent: "Bao Ziqi, you’re right. I came to the Bao Family to keep you company, and now indeed there is no need to stay."
Bao Ziqi listlessly let go of her.
It was quite some time later that he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Actually, there’s no need for you to do this."
He chuckled bitterly twice: "Anyway, the Bao Family is already rotten to the core. Whatever you want to destroy or whatever you want to do, go ahead..."
"Su Ruanruan, from now on I won’t bother you anymore! Rest assured."
After saying this, he tossed the evening gown towards a nearby trash can and turned to leave.
Su Ruanruan still leaned against the wall.
Actually, she knew that Bao Ziqi wasn’t bad.
He was just a bit... willful.
On this day, a major event happened in Jiangcheng.
Bao Mingyuan, who was furious because of the engagement party, seemed now as if he could ascend to heaven with joy.
Yanning Pharmaceutical experienced a medical accident, the kind that could not be concealed. The internet was flooded with reports on this event.
Yanning Pharmaceutical’s stock kept plummeting.
At night, in the Bao Family’s great hall.
Bao Mingyuan paced back and forth, then suddenly swung his arm broadly: "As they say, evil begets evil! That son of a bitch Yang Shining stealing the formula from Empress View, looks like he has sent himself halfway to his grave."
He looked to his eldest son: "Jingyan, have we sold off the Yanning shares we took over?"
"Rest assured, all have been sold." Bao Jingyan replied with a light smile.
Bao Mingyuan clapped his hands in approval: "Good! Now let’s see how heaven deals with that miserable cur."
Madam Bao tried her best to suppress her emotions and forced a smile: "Mingyuan, did you already know there was a problem with Yanning Pharmaceutical’s medicines?"
Bao Mingyuan answered straightforwardly: "Of course! Jingyan had already said that old dog didn’t have the smarts! Look, now that old dog is finished."
He settled down comfortably to drink his tea.
Madam Bao’s face grew even grimmer.
Years ago, she had invested eighty million in Yanning Pharmaceutical, hoping for a hefty return, only to find out how unreliable they were.
Madam Bao could barely muster a laugh anymore and continued to probe: "I wonder, would Su Yugu be able to help him?"
Mentioning a prospective in-law, Bao Mingyuan restrained a smile.
He gently tapped the lid of the teacup, "Relying on him is worse than relying on our Ruanruan! I think Ruanruan’s medical skills might even be superior to his."
Madam Bao couldn’t help but glance at Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan was very modest: "Uncle is too kind! I only know a little."
Bao Mingyuan gave her a look feigning admonishment: "You’re too modest, child! Right, with all the commotion outside these days, just stick with Jingyan on your research and don’t get involved in other matters."
Madam Bao was on the verge of vomiting blood.
Later, she called Su Qionglin into the living room.
Su Qionglin was feeling very upset, as the engagement party today was utterly ruined by Su Ruanruan. She also blamed Madam Bao for not helping her.
Now that Madam Bao had summoned her, she had a good idea why and was somewhat hesitant: "I wonder why Aunt is looking for me."
Madam Bao directly asked: "Have you received any news from your father’s side?"
Su Qionglin laughed lightly: "According to my elder brother, those two patients are not likely to live past three days."
"How could this happen?" Madam Bao collapsed onto the ground.
