Su Ruanruan’s face flushed red.
It turns out she was being self-indulgent.
But when she entered the hall, she knew that was not the case.
Mrs. Gu knew she was coming.
Mrs. Gu pulled her to sit by her side and smiled at the Sun Family matriarch, "This is my Ruanruan."
Su Ruanruan was both shocked and doubtful.
But she knew well that the Sun Family was a scholarly family; she could not afford to lose her manners here.
She stood up and greeted the elderly lady appropriately.
The Sun Family matriarch had a kind face.
She asked Su Ruanruan to come over, held her hand, and examined her for a while before smiling at Mrs. Gu, "She does bear some resemblance to Weilian in her youth! Jingyan has good taste."
Mrs. Gu was delighted, "I also didn’t expect these two kids to hit it off."
The Sun Family matriarch also smiled and then gave a meaningful glance to someone nearby.
A sandalwood box was quietly presented.
The matriarch opened it.
Inside lay a set of emerald jewelry.
Lavish and dazzling, of immense value.
Su Ruanruan dared not accept it.
Bao Jingyan sipped his tea, smiling, "Accept it since grandma is giving it to you, unless you don’t plan to be her granddaughter-in-law."
Su Ruanruan felt both angry and embarrassed.
How could he say such a thing!
However, the Sun Family matriarch just laughed, telling Mrs. Gu, "Lin Sheng, I see you also have to admit you’re getting old!"
"Indeed!" Mrs. Gu agreed, "Watching the younger generation makes me realize I’m not young anymore!"
The matriarch teased her, "I see you and Yunpei are so affectionate, having three kids wouldn’t be a problem."
Mrs. Gu blushed, "Matriarch, you love to tease me."
The matriarch then turned to Gu Ze, "See how your mother is embarrassed? You better hurry up and find a wife, otherwise, all we’ll see is you dining with your sister."
Gu Ze smiled and said, "Someone foolishly fell for it."
The matriarch scoffed, "She has always been the same over the years, always thinking about how to harm others."
Mrs. Gu drank her tea and remained silent.
As for whom she talked about, everyone present knew.
The matriarch didn’t want to talk about that disappointing woman; the menace would be dealt with sooner or later.
Right now, she only cared about her granddaughter-in-law.
Jingyan would be turning 29 next year!
She asked about the marriage, only to learn Su Ruanruan was just 18.
The matriarch looked at her grandson, her gaze complex.
Young sprouts, and Jingyan couldn’t resist!
"The age is a bit young, let’s wait another two years." The matriarch intentionally said, "By then, Jingyan will only be 30, not old yet."
The matriarch liked Su Ruanruan very much, wanting her to stay for two days.
Su Ruanruan was somewhat reluctant and said goodbye to him in the car.
"Do you miss me?" He hugged her to his chest and asked, leaning his forehead against hers.
Su Ruanruan rested against his shoulder, shaking her head, "Bao Jingyan, did you plan to bring me here long ago?"
Bao Jingyan lightly smiled.
As if he implicitly agreed.
Su Ruanruan bit her lip, "Also, why did the old lady say I am Gu Ze’s biological sister?"
"If Aunt Gu treats you as her own, aren’t you Gu Ze’s biological sister?" Bao Jingyan retorted.
But Su Ruanruan still felt something was amiss.
Everything today felt like a meeting between the parents of both sides in a relationship.
But she couldn’t voice this out loud.
Bao Jingyan also couldn’t bear to part with her, murmuring reluctantly, "Isn’t it better here? So you don’t have to be forced to do those things every night."
Su Ruanruan’s face turned bright red, she wanted to get out.
But Bao Jingyan not only did not let her go but also whispered even more outrageous things into her ear.
"Crying and fussing every time, I brought you here because I feel sorry for you."
Su Ruanruan was terribly embarrassed.
She refused to listen to his shameless words!
And they were still at his grandmother’s house!
