Bao Jingyuan was clamoring at this moment: "Still visiting someone’s home, Mr. Mu Jiu must be avoiding her!"
Madame Bao scolded: "How can you speak like that, Jingyuan? How could Mr. Mu Jiu be avoiding Ruanruan?"
"Probably because she asks for too much! Wanting their shares and an apology, and to be their goddaughter." Bao Jingyuan was spirited: "The whole of Jiangcheng is laughing at this!"
Madame Bao admonished her daughter: "Others may laugh at Ruanruan, but you cannot, understand?"
Bao Jingyuan was rarely sensible and obediently said: "I won’t laugh at her, I’ll comfort her."
"Such a good girl." Madame Bao, with a smile, said to her husband: "Jingyuan has become sensible too."
Bao Mingyuan was also very happy: "Right, this is what being a family is about!"
He patted Su Ruanruan’s shoulder, speaking very affectionately: "Don’t worry! Uncle has arranged everything. In a moment, Lawyer Wang will come over and read out my decision."
Before Su Ruanruan said anything, Madame Bao hastily spoke up: "Mingyuan!"
She was shocked and furious!
What is Mingyuan doing?
Not caring about saving face, Bao Mingyuan just laid it out.
"I want to take Ruanruan as my goddaughter! Meiyu, if you are willing to be the godmother then be it, if not then forget it."
He said it with no room for negotiation.
Madame Bao was heartbroken.
Bao Jingyuan also began to cry, as she was the youngest child in the family.
It’s not enough for Su Ruanruan to have the love and care of the Gu Family, now she wants to steal hers too!
Mother and daughter made a scene, it was very unseemly.
Su Ruanruan had been watching coldly all this time.
Finally, she spoke up: "Rest assured, I will never become the Bao Family’s daughter."
Madame Bao was stunned.
Bao Jingyan gently smiled.
He said: "Ruanruan has always been ambitious, she said she wanted to become goddaughter to Old Madam Mu, then certainly it will happen."
"Nonsense! They don’t care about her, they don’t bother with her at all." Bao Jingyuan said indignantly.
Just as Bao Mingyuan was about to scold his daughter, Housekeeper Wang urgently approached.
"Sir, madam, something big has happened!"
Bao Mingyuan frowned: "What could possibly be the matter this early in the morning?"
Housekeeper Wang’s gaze shifted among everyone, finally landing on Su Ruanruan.
He said: "Congratulations to Miss Su, congratulations! Miss Su’s wish has come true! There are 18 Rolls-Royce limousines parked at our doorstep, Mr. Mu Jiu and Old Madam Mu have come to acknowledge kinship."
"Really?" Bao Mingyuan immediately stood up.
His whole body came alive.
Who could have thought of this surprise!
This really is an unexpected twist!
Overjoyed but still uneasy, he asked again: "Are you sure? They’ve come to recognize Ruanruan?"
Housekeeper Wang’s demeanor was unperturbed: "Besides Miss Ruanruan, who else could it be?"
Bao Mingyuan slammed the table: "What about those media reporters?"
"They’re all here!" Housekeeper Wang said efficiently: "I have prepared courtesy gifts, ensuring it’s presentable, and their articles will look good when they write them up."
"Of course!" Bao Mingyuan straightened his clothes: "Open the gates! Don’t keep them waiting."
Bao Mingyuan swept away his previous gloom, addressing Su Ruanruan: "You really know how to keep your cool. You made uncle worry for nothing, I haven’t slept well for days."
Su Ruanruan gave a faint smile: "I just received the news myself."
Bao Mingyuan called to the servants: "Bring out my best tea cakes, brew a pot for Mr. Mu Jiu! He’ll have to apologize to Jingyan while serving tea in a moment!"
Bao Jingyan wiped his lips, tossing his napkin aside.
He said to Su Ruanruan: "It seems, I might have to rely on Ruanruan in the future."
His words carried an ambiguous warmth.
Aside from Bao Ziqi, no one else picked up on it.
Su Ruanruan glared at Bao Jingyan.
Bao Jingyan just smiled.
While they were speaking, Mr. Mu Jiu, supporting Old Madam Mu, entered the residence.
Behind them were the sounds of gongs and drums, 18 loads of betrothal gifts.
They conducted the ritual according to the customs of Mr. Mu Jiu’s hometown!
