Bo Jingyan looked at the closed door and fell into a daze.
Just then, Bo Jingse pushed the door open and entered. She sat opposite Bo Jingyan.
For a long time, Bo Jingyan only drank his coffee without saying a word.
Finally, his sister couldn’t help but say, "Bo Ziqi is back. Brother, why don’t you take the opportunity to fight for Ruanruan?"
Bo Jingyan put down the cup in his hand and glanced at her.
The woman pursed her lips. "Don’t say that you don’t like her!"
Bo Jingyan slowly loosened his tie. "They won’t agree. Neither the Old Madam nor Dad would agree."
Bo Jingyan took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and looked at his sister. "Jingse, do you know the consequences of saying this now?"
Bo Jingse had been treading on thin ice since she was young, so she naturally knew what her brother was referring to. She only asked one thing. "How far have you progressed with her?"
Bo Jingyan lowered his head to light the cigarette, which muffled his voice. "To the extent of sleeping together."
Bo Jingse was stunned, and only regained her senses after a while. "Su Ruanruan is still so young!"
She got up and pushed the door open.
Bo Jingyan was still smoking and only smiled.
Just then, Bo Jingse opened the door again. "Brother, you’re such a beast."
The man nearly burned his fingers with his cigarette...
In the afternoon, Su Ruanruan returned to the Bo family’s residence.
At dinner, only Madam Bo and Bo Jingyuan were at the dining table.
For the first time, Bo Jingyuan did not make things difficult for her. She even took a piece of lamb chop and placed it on her plate. "Ruanruan, you’re too skinny! Second Brother will like you better if you gain some weight."
Su Ruanruan looked up at her.
Bo Jingyuan said in a low voice, "I’ll go look for you later. There’s something I want to ask you."
Madam Bo frowned slightly but did not say anything.
After dinner, Su Ruanruan thought that Bo Jingyuan was coming over, so she took a shower and sat on the sofa to read for a while.
About ten minutes later, Bo Jingyuan came over with her hands behind her back.
She had brought a gift—a beautiful pearl necklace.
"I bought it in Japan! Wear it on the day of the ball," Bo Jingyuan emphasized.
Su Ruanruan looked up at her.
After a while, she closed the gift and said, "Just say what you want."
Bo Jingyuan was also impatient, so she anxiously said, "Invite your second brother to the ball that day."
Su Ruanruan lowered her eyes. "Do you really like my second brother?"
"I do! Of course I do!" Bo Jingyuan clasped her hands together. "Professor Su is so good-looking!"
She couldn’t help but beg, "Su Ruanruan, can you help me?"
If Su Ruanruan sold Su Ru’an out ruthlessly and helped Bo Jingyuan, her life in the Bo family would definitely improve.
However, Su Ruanruan had a conscience. Su Ru’an had always been good to her. He was her only warmth in the Su family.
Hence, when she heard Bo Jingyuan’s request, she only smiled. "Does Auntie agree to this?"
Bo Jingyuan immediately thought of Bo Ziqi’s words in the afternoon and retreated slightly.
However, she blamed Su Ruanruan and felt that the latter was the one who refused to help her.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Someone told me that you deliberately showed me Ke Lan’s letter. I didn’t believe it at first, but now I do."
Then, she stomped her feet. "Su Ruanruan, if you don’t help, someone else will."
She ran out, completely forgetting about the pearl necklace.
Su Ruanruan naturally couldn’t take this item for herself. She was about to send it back to Bo Jingyuan, but Madam Bo was right in front of her the moment she opened the door.
Madam Bo was a natural beauty, but now she looked mean and unsympathetic in the light, even if she was smiling.
"Are you looking for Jingyuan?" Madam Bo asked gently.
Su Ruanruan could roughly guess her intentions and stepped back to let her in.
Madam Bo closed the door and looked into the room quietly before saying, "It seems like you’re doing well."
