Mu Jiu glared at her.
She actually had more to say!
Su Ruanruan’s tone was gentle, "By becoming siblings with Mr. Mu, if anything happens to me, Brother Jiu must help me with all his might."
Mu Jiu blew his top, "If I don’t agree, you won’t allow Mr. Zhou to have the surgery, is that it?"
"Not at all." Su Ruanruan stood up, smiling faintly, "The date for the surgery has been set! As for what I said, it’s all up to Brother Jiu’s willingness."
He murmured, "Either you’re dumb or I’m dumb!"
When he snapped back to reality, Brother Jiu had run off without a trace.
Afraid that Su Ruanruan would change her mind!
Bao Mingyuan emerged from the shadow.
He said to Su Ruanruan, "With Mu Jiu’s personality, he’s definitely the type to take advantage without owning up."
Su Ruanruan smiled slightly, "He will agree to these three conditions."
Bao Mingyuan was skeptical.
Madam Bao was even more doubtful.
Where did this girl get such incredible skills?
Mu Qun’s character was well-known throughout Jiang City, prideful and avaricious.
Getting him to publicly apologize was even harder than killing him.
And for him to give up twenty percent of his estate was like asking for the moon.
Although Bao Mingyuan wasn’t optimistic, he was always fond of Su Ruanruan and glossed over the matter without further discussion.
Su Ruanruan knew they didn’t believe her, but she didn’t argue.
After dinner, the Gu Family couple came over.
Although Su Ruanruan was only staying for two days, what the Gu Family brought was extremely luxurious.
Su Ruanruan felt it was too much.
But for Madam Gu, nothing was too much when it came to loving her daughter.
She knew her manners and left after visiting the old lady.
After the busy commotion, Su Ruanruan had a bath and it was already eleven o’clock at night.
She was a bit tired, but still wanted to talk to Bao Jingyan.
She connected the call and then, out of modesty, didn’t speak.
Bao Jingyan teased her, "I heard our Miss Su showed her prowess and made Mu Jiu so angry he almost shut himself away."
"He’s not that fragile," Su Ruanruan said lightly.
Bao Jingyan suddenly called her softly, "Ruanruan."
Her voice trembled, "Hmm?"
Bao Jingyan’s voice became even lower, "Aren’t you afraid others will notice our relationship because of the demands you made on Mu Jiu?"
Su Ruanruan was silent for a while, then said, "I’m not afraid."
He laughed, "What a brave girl."
He added, "It would be nice if you were a bit bolder in other matters too."
Seconds later, Su Ruanruan got the hint.
Her face flushed, and she immediately hung up the phone.
Then, there was a knock on the door.
Su Ruanruan got out of bed and went over, not opening the door directly but asking from inside, "Who is it?"
It was the voice of a servant outside, "Miss Su, it’s me."
Su Ruanruan opened the door.
A somewhat unfamiliar servant stood at the doorway, holding a serving of red bean sweet dumplings.
The servant smiled softly, "The old lady specially instructed me to bring you some late-night snacks."
Su Ruanruan took it, thanking the servant politely.
Turning back, she placed the late-night snack on the coffee table.
But she didn’t touch it.
She knew very well who sent this gesture of kindness.
The next morning, Su Ruanruan got up and went straight to the old lady’s room.
When the servant came to clean the room, they found the untouched bowl of late-night snacks.
The servant took out a cell phone and made a call.
"Second Young Master, Miss Su didn’t touch it."
On the other end, Bao Ziqi responded indifferently, "I know."
Su Ruanruan must have guessed it was from him, that’s why she didn’t eat it.
She didn’t want to give him even the slightest chance or fantasy.
Bao Ziqi put down the phone, got dressed in a white shirt and jeans, tidied up a bit, and then went downstairs to the small courtyard.
After Su Ruanruan had applied the medicine to the old lady, she was packing up the medicine box when she saw Bao Ziqi standing in the doorway.
She nodded at him and passed by him without further interaction.
