It was the Old Madam who spoke first. "This is Ruanruan."
She tried to matchmake the two juniors, and chuckled as she said, "Ruanruan is still young. You have plenty of time to develop your feelings for her."
Bo Ziqi was about to speak when Madam Bo complained, "Mom, did you forget that Ziqi has a girlfriend?"
The old lady glared at Madam Bo. "Where did his girlfriend go when Ziqi got into trouble?"
Bo Ziqi pursed his lips.
Because her grandson had just returned after going through trials and tribulations, the old lady didn't want to dampen his spirits, so she quickly changed the topic. "Hurry and call your father and the rest. They don't know about this news yet."
Madam Bo smiled apologetically. "I've already called them."
Just then, a car horn sounded at the door. In less than half a minute, Bo Mingyuan walked into the hall.
He was obviously overwhelmed with emotions. He hugged his son and said in a trembling voice, "It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!"
Bo Ziqi's voice was slightly depressed. "Dad, I'm back!"
Su Ruanruan secretly squeezed her hand. Bo Ziqi was back, and he was her Third Sister's boyfriend. She was now treading on thin ice.
Then, she heard footsteps. It was Bo Jingyan and Bo Jingse. The siblings were expressionless.
Bo Jingyan glanced at Su Ruanruan, then stood at the side.
Bo Mingyuan recovered his composure, held his two sons and said emotionally, "Ziqi is finally back. Our whole family is finally together."
He asked his eldest son cheerfully, "Jingyan, aren't you happy?"
"I am." Bo Jingyan glanced at his younger brother.
Then, his gaze swept past Su Ruanruan. The latter simply pretended not to notice it.
Bo Mingyuan patted his eldest son and escorted him to the dining room.
Everyone was happy tonight and drank freely, especially Bo Mingyuan, who got drunk.
In high spirits, he called his youngest son to the study.
After closing the door, the conversation flowed naturally between the father and son.
Bo Mingyuan took a puff of his cigarette and went straight to the point. "I like Ruanruan more! This child is good looking and has a gentle temperament. It's rare for the Old Madam to like someone so much too!"
Although Bo Ziqi was still recuperating, he also took a puff of a cigarette.
He pinched his cigarette and frowned. "I don't know her."
Su Ruanruan could marry a dead man just so that she would live in riches and glory. He hated that.
Besides, Su Qionglin was beautiful and tall. He was infatuated with Su Qionglin.
Bo Mingyuan felt a headache coming on.
Bo Ziqi added, "Since I'm back, there's no need to keep her in the Bo family. Send her back."
"I can't make the decision on this matter." Bo Mingyuan blew out a smoke ring. "Only she can treat the Old Madam's leg."
Bo Ziqi's expression darkened. After a moment, he said, "I'll talk to her later."
However, his father was persistent. "Ziqi, have you really thought about it? I think that child is quite smart and suitable to marry you."
From a man's point of view, Bo Mingyuan felt that Su Ruanruan's looks were more attractive. Su Qionglin was beautiful, but she was too eye-catching, not to mention that she was showing herself in public.
Besides, Ruanruan had just entered the house when Ziqi came back. Wasn't she a blessing to the family?
Bo Ziqi was helpless. "Dad!"
Bo Mingyuan waved his hand. "Alright, if you're not willing, then forget it."
He added, "Let's talk about your relationship with Su Qionglin later! Firstly, you have to take care of your body. Secondly, I'm afraid the old lady won't agree to it easily."
Bo Ziqi agreed. He put out his cigarette and walked out of the study.
As the door opened, he was greeted by Su Ruanruan standing right outside.
She was dressed casually in an off-white home dress. Her black hair fell to her shoulders, making her look a little ethereal.
However, Bo Ziqi felt nothing but disgust.
He looked at the fruit platter in her hands and said coldly, "Did you hear that? You don't have to do this. It's useless!"
Su Ruanruan stood there, unmoving.
After a long while, she smiled. What she wanted was Bo Ziqi's disgust.
It would be more troublesome if he was really attracted to her.
