Mu Jiu’s handsome and rugged face was tinged with red—
Damn it, he, Mu Jiu, had been a hero all his life, he had never bowed or acted subservient to anyone!
This time, he had been outplayed by Su Ruanruan.
Old Man Mu’s face was black with anger.
Mother Mu was not pleased, nudging him: "Jiu-boy, what did we agree on when we came here?"
Old Man Mu’s face turned even redder, and he growled: "Then let’s proceed exactly as planned!"
It was the first time the media journalists had seen Old Man Mu , and they couldn’t help but laugh.
Old Man Mu reluctantly looked at Bao Jingyan, who was sitting on the sofa, and said, "Young Master Bao, I was wrong last time, please forgive my impertinence!"
He made a slight bow, which counted as an apology.
Bao Jingyan certainly wasn’t going to let this rare occasion pass.
He crossed his legs, looking extremely noble, "Is that all? I’ve heard that according to the rules of the Jianghu, Old Man Mu, you’re supposed to respectfully pour tea, and then say respectfully ’Big Brother, I was wrong.’
He said, "Bao Jingyan, you pretty boy, don’t go too far—"
—Your and Ruanruan’s sneaky affairs are still in the palm of my hand!
But Bao Jingyan just smiled slightly.
Old Man Mu snapped harshly: "You... even if you don’t respect me, think of the Buddha!"
He was speaking of Su Ruanruan.
But Bao Jingyan immediately agreed, "That’s true! Ruanruan has acknowledged Mu Mama as mother, which makes her my mother too, so I must give her face."
He blatantly took advantage, yet others thought he cared deeply for his sibling, Su Ruanruan.
Mother Mu’s eyes were smiling.
This was Ruanruan’s man, right?
Several times better looking than her own son, Jiu!
Bao Jingyan treated the elderly with great respect, helping Mother Mu to sit where he had been sitting, while he stood beside her.
He said to Mu Jiu, "Now can we pour the tea?"
His own mother had fallen under the spell of Bao Jingyan, the pretty boy, and abandoned all her principles.
Old Man Mu was very angry!
But Old Man Mu was helpless!
With no other choice, Old Man Mu grudgingly took the teacup from Housekeeper Wang and handed it to Bao Jingyan, then said gruffly, "Young Master Bao is magnanimous, please don’t quibble with a vulgar man like me."
"I’ll take this tea!" Bao Jingyan smiled and then passed it to Mother Mu, "It’s my first time meeting Mother Mu, I must show my respect."
His demeanor was clearly that of a son-in-law.
Others did not know, but Su Ruanruan and Bao Ziqi saw everything clearly.
Su Ruanruan was both embarrassed and angry.
Bao Jingyan glanced at her, then smiled gently.
Mother Mu was very fond of him, blinded by his heavenly good looks.
She told her son, "Go and bring out the documents for your sister."
Old Man Mu reluctantly took out a thick stack of documents, "These are the stock certificates for all the ports under my name. They have already been arranged to belong 20% to Su Ruanruan after this, who is the new daughter my mother has acknowledged."
Everyone was astounded!
Old Man Mu had truly made a painful concession!
The journalists pressed their shutters, capturing this incredible scene.
Bao Mingyuan felt like popping open champagne to celebrate.
Ruanruan had done remarkably well, having such prestige!
Mrs. Bao and Bao Jingyuan were ashen-faced.
They had thought Su Ruanruan would be humiliated, but didn’t expect Old Man Mu to concede to her one after another.
How did Su Ruanruan manage it?
Mrs. Bao was completely baffled!
She couldn’t imagine that the distasteful articles in the newspapers and all these reporters were orchestrated by Su Ruanruan herself!
She had managed to pressurize Old Man Mu and at the same time frame Mrs. Bao.
