Xia Minglan replied with feigned casualness, "It’s not a coincidence at all; I’ve met this Doctor Zhou Zizhuo a few times before."
"Excellent," Mrs. Bao was quite thrilled.
She said, "Minglan, if you handle this well, your uncle will hold you in high regard too."
Xia Minglan smiled faintly, "Aunt, rest assured! Zhou Zizhuo will certainly extend this courtesy."
Mrs. Bao gently stroked her hand, "Then do handle it well."
The two exchanged a knowing smile.
So Xia Minglan took a step forward, and said to Zhou Susu, "I suppose you’re one of Mr. Mu’s people."
Zhou Susu was startled.
She saw Mrs. Bao and a distinguished young lady.
Zhou Susu eyed them warily, "What do you want?"
Mrs. Bao adjusted her hair.
She was of high status and didn’t wish to speak with someone like Zhou Susu.
Xia Minglan smiled, "I heard Mr. Mu is looking for Doctor Zhou Zizhuo. It happens that I know him."
"Really?" Zhou Susu’s eyes widened, "You know him and you’re willing to introduce us?"
Xia Minglan still wore a smile.
She handed over a business card, "If Mr. Mu trusts me, he can call me. I’ll also contact Doctor Zhou as soon as possible."
Zhou Susu was genuinely fond of Mu Jiu.
These past few days Mu Jiu had been in a foul mood because of his mother’s illness, and she wanted to cheer him up.
She promptly took the business card.
Mrs. Bao was very pleased with Xia Minglan and said, "Tonight, I must discuss this with your uncle, to properly credit you for your effort."
Xia Minglan blushed slightly.
She thought she would eventually touch Bao Ziqi’s heart.
Zhou Susu returned and promptly relayed the good news to Mu Jiu.
She presented Xia Minglan’s business card.
With a flattering look.
Mu Jiu massaged his forehead and scrutinized it carefully.
After reading, he looked up, "Are you saying Bao Ziqi’s woman gave you a card, saying she’s going to save my mother?"
Mu Jiu was skeptical, "Would he be so kind-hearted?"
Zhou Susu spoke coquettishly, "I think they also want to connect with you! Sir, imagine if you take this opportunity to let bygones be bygones with the Bao Family, wouldn’t it be perfect? Besides, they know Doctor Zhou, and this opportunity is rare."
Mu Qun lit a cigarette and gave it serious thought.
He really didn’t want to owe the Bao Family, but his mother’s life was more important.
After a moment, he spoke, "Fine, as long as she can get Doctor Zhou Zizhuo, I, Mu Jiu, will give them two ports in return."
Zhou Susu felt a twinge of pain for the price, but then reconsidered.
If the matter was settled, her standing in Mu Jiu’s eyes would certainly be different.
She immediately called that Miss Xia and conveyed Mu Jiu’s words.
After Xia Minglan hung up, she smiled faintly.
She found out that Zhou Zizhuo was in City B and would be coming to Jiang City next week.
By then, she would invite him for a meal, and the matter would be settled.
She informed Mrs. Bao of the news.
Mrs. Bao was overjoyed.
Holding the phone, she rushed upstairs, and Bao Mingyuan had just come back from the company, loosening his tie.
Seeing his wife ascend the stairs, he asked nonchalantly, "I heard you bought a diamond ring for the Xia Family child today?"
"Only over six million," Mrs. Bao leaned against her husband, "Mingyuan, when did you become so stingy?"
"It’s not about being stingy! Did you consult Ziqi on this matter?" asked Bao Mingyuan.
He added, "Even if there’s such a plan, they should spend time together first! This seems too hasty."
Mrs. Bao was embarrassed.
She sat on the sofa, and shook her phone, "I actually had some good news to tell you. But it seems you don’t want to hear it."
"Good news? What else could be good news now?" Bao Mingyuan lacked enthusiasm.
He collapsed onto the bed and closed his eyes.
These past few days, he’d been constantly missing Ruanruan...
