Bao Mingyuan stood to the side.
His eyes were warm with emotion.
For more than 20 years, he never received the Sun Family’s forgiveness.
The Sun Family once declared they would never step foot in the Bao house again, but Ruanruan had invited them over.
The old lady had now gained the greatest face!
This birthday, the old lady would never forget in her lifetime.
Bao Mingyuan felt grateful in his heart.
A father’s tender feelings surfaced again.
He saw that the tea by Su Ruanruan’s hand had gone cold, so he personally had someone replace it.
After the tea was replaced, he approached the old Lady Sun and wheedled, "Mom, you’ve come?"
Old Lady Sun scowled, "Didn’t you see?"
Bao Mingyuan’s attempt to charm fell flat.
The old lady also didn’t stand up for her son, "Well scolded!"
Old Lady Sun snorted with displeasure, "I came for old lady’s sake, not for you! Don’t hover in front of me! It’s irritating."
Bao Mingyuan touched his nose.
He then cordially greeted the two maternal aunts from the Sun Family, before wisely sitting far away!
Looking somewhat pitiful!
Su Ruanruan accompanied the two maternal aunts from the Sun Family to watch the opera for a while, then quietly sat down next to Bao Mingyuan.
Bao Mingyuan gave her a look, "You’ve handled this well!"
Before Su Ruanruan could speak, he scoffed, "Don’t think by doing this great deed, I would agree to you and Jingyan being together! The outrageous things you two have done are innumerable!"
With each word he said, Su Ruanruan nodded.
Leaving Bao Mingyuan without a temper.
He glared at her, "What are you still doing here? The wind is so strong, if you catch a cold, that bastard Jingyan will accuse me of being harsh to you!"
He looked around and didn’t see Bao Jingyan, so he asked her, "Where is he? Just left you here?"
Su Ruanruan smiled faintly, "He probably has other matters to attend to."
Bao Mingyuan knocked the ash from his cigarette, snorted coldly, "He’s really at ease! Not afraid someone might take advantage of you."
He was referring to Mrs. Bao’s scheming.
Su Ruanruan smiled comfortably, "He knows what I’m capable of."
"Capable?" Bao Mingyuan sneered, "Full of tricks, aren’t you?"
In the Bao Mansion, the small flowery hall.
Decorated sumptuously.
Bao Jingyan in an expensive, tailor-made suit, tall and erect.
A snow-white shirt, a velvet evening gown.
His elegantly boned hands fiddled with the teacup, exuding privileged ease.
A jittery young man sat across from him.
Tonight, the Su Family did not receive an invitation.
But this Doctor Su spent a long time making a fuss outside.
In front of the distinguished eldest son of the Bao Family, Su Minghua was at a loss.
He stammered, "I want to see Ruanruan."
Bao Jingyan glanced at him.
"Ruanruan is in the backyard accompanying the old lady to listen to the opera! She won’t be free any time soon!"
Su Minghua grew anxious, "I have urgent business with her."
Bao Jingyan took a sip of tea, "As I said, she’s not available."
Su Minghua’s lips trembled with cold.
He had heard of this young master Bao’s methods, and knew he’d gain nothing by being aggressive.
Yet he was in despair.
He followed her to City B, only to find out he’d been played by Song Wei.
When at his wits’ end, he suddenly thought of his ex-wife, Wang Meihe.
She had always loved him deeply.
If he turned back, she would surely accept him.
He tried every means to get her address, only to find it impossible to reach out to her.
Wang Meihe, arm in arm with a decent-looking young man, walked cheerfully into a coffee shop.
Her waist was slimmer than before, her skin whiter and more tender.
He didn’t call out to her, but Wang Meihe spotted him.
She came out to tell him that the man was her new boyfriend.
—She already has a boyfriend so quickly!
Heartbroken, Su Minghua returned to Jiangcheng.
And to the throngs of the festive Bao Mansion.
This jubilation had nothing to do with him; he just wanted to see Ruanruan and ask for her guidance.
Su Minghua’s eyes burned with anger, "Today is the old lady’s big day! Young Master Bao would not want misfortune to befall his home, right?"
