"No way, no how!" Gu Jiarou made a face.
Mu Jiu chuckled and said to Madam Gu, "Your little niece is always giving me a hard time."
Madam Gu glanced at Gu Jiarou.
Gu Jiarou immediately dared not speak.
Mu Jiu looked at her mockingly and then turned to Su Ruanruan with a servile expression, "I’ll send you all the footage later."
Su Ruanruan coldly declined, "Mr. Mu has spent a lot of money, it wouldn’t be right for me to snatch it away."
She was distant, but Mu Jiu didn’t mind.
Fairies need to be coaxed after all.
Just as Mu Jiu was about to speak again, a rustling voice suddenly rose from the stage, "Good evening, everyone."
Su Ruanruan shuddered.
She looked up and sure enough, it was her sister, Su Qionglin.
She looked at Su Qionglin, and Su Qionglin was looking at her too.
At that moment, Su Qionglin’s eyes were filled with hatred and a trace of determination.
By revealing Su Ruanruan’s origins, Su Ruanruan would lose it all.
At this moment, everyone’s gaze fell on her.
Including the Bao Mingyuan couple.
Bao Mingyuan whispered, "What is she trying to do?"
Madam Bao obviously knew who Su Qionglin was targeting, and she just waited to watch the drama unfold.
Dog-eat-dog shows were her favorite.
On the stage, Su Qionglin smiled coquettishly.
She said, "Today, I am here to congratulate Su Ruanruan! Yes, she is my uncle’s daughter, very smart and charming... completely bewitching Ziqi!"
The room below fell abruptly silent.
They looked at Su Qionglin, uncertain of what she wanted to say.
But Bao Ziqi, who had rushed over, knew!
He said coldly, "Su Qionglin!"
Su Qionglin pointed her delicate finger on her red lips and coquettishly asked, "What, does that hurt your feelings?"
Bao Ziqi suppressed his emotions, "Our matter has nothing to do with Su Ruanruan."
"How can it have nothing to do with her? The biggest mistake is that you like her!" Su Qionglin started to cry, tears streaming down her face like a damsel in distress.
Beautiful, yet indecent.
Bao Ziqi was about to speak when Bao Mingyuan spoke solemnly, "I apologize for causing a disturbance."
He was the wealthiest man in River City, no one dared to offend him.
In an instant, the city’s elites and dignitaries began to take their leave.
Madam Gu was about to take Su Ruanruan away when Su Qionglin loudly objected, "She is not allowed to leave."
Madam Bao came back to her senses and falsely said to her husband, "Mingyuan, Qionglin is Ruanruan’s sister, she surely means no harm! Besides... we need to solve the children’s issues."
Bao Mingyuan glanced at her.
Madam Bao’s heart skipped a beat.
Bao Mingyuan then looked at Su Qionglin, his tone indifferent, "The words you’re about to say probably aren’t pleasant, I’d rather not taint Ruanruan’s ears! So just say them to me and Ziqi’s mother, that’s your goal, isn’t it?"
"Yes," Su Qionglin’s lips trembled.
She looked resentfully at Su Ruanruan, clearly jealous.
She could tell that Bao Mingyuan was already treating Su Ruanruan like a daughter.
No, even more than that.
Madam Gu was very sharp.
She guessed that what Su Qionglin was about to reveal was most likely about Ruanruan’s origins, and that spiteful girl must think Ruanruan’s background is disgraceful, aiming to ruin Ruanruan’s image among the Bao family!
Madam Gu turned to her niece, "Jiarou, take Ruanruan down first."
Gu Jiarou hesitated for a moment but still pulled Su Ruanruan away.
Once they were gone, Madam Gu stayed calm, "Now that no one else is here, Miss Three, you may speak freely."
Su Qionglin tossed her hair and chuckled lightly, "You consider her a jewel, so it’s fitting I tell you all this."
But Bao Ziqi clenched his teeth, "Su Qionglin, have you thought this through?"
