At this moment, the sound of porcelain shattering reached her ears.
Accompanied by the wailing of Mrs. Bao.
Su Ruanruan lowered her eyes and let out a cold laugh.
Ever since she joined the Bao Family, Mrs. Bao had been trying to harm her, one way or another.
It was time to settle things with her!
Second floor, eastern bedroom.
Mrs. Bao was hysterically crying, tears streaming down her face!
She wept to her husband, "Mingyuan, you want to elevate Su Ruanruan, but have you ever considered me? Do you want her to trample all over me?"
Bao Mingyuan was annoyed.
"You keep being Mrs. Bao, it doesn’t conflict with Ruanruan returning to Emperor View!"
Mrs. Bao disagreed, "How does it not conflict? She despises me to the core, who knows what she’ll do to sideline my family members if she gets power!"
Hearing this, Bao Mingyuan sneered, "Your family members?"
His gaze was dark and ominous as he looked at his wife, his voice cold, "Then do you have me in your heart? Have you thought about me, your husband, when you did those things?"
Mrs. Bao felt a surge of guilt.
Bao Mingyuan strolled over to the sofa and sat down, chuckling lightly.
"Like the shares you hold in Yanning Pharmaceutical."
"Or the last time the formula was leaked, did you really think others wouldn’t know?"
"I’m also fully aware of your collusion with Su Yugu."
One by one, each and every incident.
Mrs. Bao had no defense.
Her lips trembled, she threw herself at her husband’s feet pleading, "Mingyuan, I was momentarily foolish!"
"I’ve already forgiven you," Mingyuan said with a slight smile.
He stroked his wife’s hair, which was soft like satin, as he spoke unhurriedly, "Some women can afford to be a bit foolish because they are just vases, pretty to keep at home. But they must know practical matters!"
Mrs. Bao felt ice-cold all over.
Is this how Mingyuan has regarded her all these years?
Or as his baby-making machine?
Mrs. Bao’s face was tear-stained as she retorted, "What about Su Ruanruan, then? Do you really think she’s capable? I’ve heard from the servants that she’s offended Mu Jiu with her stupidity, she’ll bring endless trouble to our home."
"Servants?" Bao Mingyuan sneered. "Since when do the words of a servant carry more weight than mine?"
He lightly clasped her delicate neck, leaning in close, "Meiyu, you really are a good wife!"
Qi Meiyu trembled all over.
Just as the couple were arguing, there came a knock at the door.
A servant came to report.
"Sir, Mu Jiu is here again! He says he wants to see Miss Su."
Qi Meiyu’s eyes flashed with mockery, "That child has started causing us trouble now."
Bao Mingyuan was unconvinced.
If Ruanruan says that Mu Jiu will come begging her, then he is here to beg.
He let go of Mrs. Bao, warning, "Behave from now on, you don’t need to interfere in Ruanruan’s affairs." With that, he opened the door and left.
Mrs. Bao collapsed onto the carpet.
She was not willing to accept this.
She wanted to go downstairs to see for herself how Su Ruanruan would dig her own grave!
Mrs. Bao dressed herself up properly and slowly descended the stairs, supporting her body.
Inside the hall, the lights shone bright.
Mu Jiu stood there, surrounded by piles of valuable gifts.
He humbled himself before Bao Mingyuan, "I wish to see Ruanruan."
Mrs. Bao’s steps faltered, shock overtaking her face.
How could this be possible?
This morning Mu Jiu left in a fury, and it was clear that he had fallen out with Su Ruanruan.
How could his attitude change so completely now?
Struck by this revelation, Mrs. Bao’s legs gave out, and she fell onto the staircase...
Utterly losing her composure.
There, Bao Mingyuan still courteously said to Mu Jiu, "Ruanruan has instructed that if Mu Jiu comes, she won’t see him."
Mu Jiu’s old face couldn’t take it.
When has he, Mu Jiu, ever been treated with such disregard?
But thinking about how he treated Su Ruanruan during the day, he found himself hating his own actions, continuing to grovel, "Please announce my presence again! Tell her that I, Mu Jiu, am here to apologize to Miss Su. She can beat me or scold me as she wishes, I only beg on the foundation of our childhood friendship that she forgives me this once."
