Su Ruanruan finished speaking.
Everyone disbelieved her.
Clearly, all the noble ladies of Jiangcheng are here, who could support Boss Mei?
Mrs. Bao was the first to stand out.
With a soft tone that cut deep, she said: "Ruanruan, I know you want to make the elderly lady happy, but... the fact that Boss Mei was humiliated here remains."
Su Ruanruan smiled: "Madam, I don’t understand your words! It was Miss Xia Minglan who invited Boss Mei; shouldn’t all the honor and disgrace be her responsibility? Why is it attributed to me?"
Murmurs of agreement arose from the crowd.
[Yes! It was Miss Xia who invited him.]
[Miss Xia acted without thorough consideration! She knew it was the elderly lady’s birthday today!]
[It’s ridiculous for Mrs. Bao to blame Miss Su.]
Mrs. Bao found herself unable to refute.
Su Ruanruan continued: "Boss Mei is a celebrated artist! As a prominent figure, he deserves respect, so I had my brother Mu Jiu bring people to support him early! Just now, Brother Jiu sent a photo showing the private room packed full, with exactly 666 bouquets to honor Boss Mei adequately."
She opened her phone.
Showing the photo to the various noble ladies.
Indeed, it was an impressive scene.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed—
[Isn’t that Mr. Su Jing’an?]
[Exactly, the one to the right of Boss Mei is Sun Jingyu.]
Such prominent figures, and Ruanruan was able to invite them!
Su Ruanruan and Boss Yan exchanged a smile.
She said: "Boss Yan and my father Su Peiming are close friends. If my personal affair troubled him, it would be my fault! Hence, I asked the two Mr. and Mrs. Sun to take separate actions: to make the elderly lady happy and not let Boss Mei feel neglected."
Mrs. Bao, the elder, led the applause: "This girl is meticulous in her thoughts!"
She joked with Mrs. Sun the elder: "It’s a pity that Ziqi and she aren’t fated! Otherwise, marrying such a girl to manage the household would be wonderful!"
Mrs. Sun the elder just smiled without speaking.
Su Ruanruan felt a bit flustered and found it difficult to speak.
Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance of the courtyard.
It was the two from the Sun Family together with Boss Mei.
Su Jing’an, with the highest status, led the way to wish the elderly lady a happy birthday.
Mrs. Bao’s eyes welled with tears.
She deeply appreciated that this honor was bestowed by Ruanruan and cherished her even more.
Mu Jiu bumped Su Ruanruan’s shoulder, lowering his voice: "How well did Brother Jiu handle this for you?"
"Exceptionally well! Brother Jiu has outdone himself," praised Su Ruanruan.
Mu Jiu’s tail almost wagged to the sky.
Su Jing’an noticed their interaction.
He said to Su Ruanruan: "You recognize a good brother."
Upon saying this, he thoughtfully glanced at Bao Jingyan.
Jingyan often offends many with his high-handed actions, but Ruanruan understands people and leaves room for maneuvering.
She would be a virtuous partner for Jingyan!
He complimented, and Su Ruanruan gave a slight smile.
Her smile made her look much younger.
Su Jing’an suddenly remembered, Su Ruanruan was only 18.
With the Sun Family present, they naturally took center stage.
Bao Mingyuan personally hosted, and the Bao Family members busied themselves.
Mrs. Bao found herself unable to intervene!
Moreover, her position was awkward.
Just then, Xia Minglan hurried over.
Her face full of disappointment.
Upon seeing her, Mrs. Bao said lightly: "Wait until the elderly lady is free to offer her a birthday greeting!"
Xia Minglan couldn’t believe the outcome that evening.
She murmured, "Why did this happen?"
Mrs. Bao, furious, said: "I want to ask you what is going on! Now all the limelight is on Su Ruanruan, what else is there for us?"
What terrified her the most was that the elderly lady had considered letting Su Ruanruan manage the household.
But she denied it: Impossible! Su Ruanruan and Ziqi have no future, she has no status or stance to manage the Bao Family’s household affairs!
