Bao Mingyuan doesn’t like her very much.
Her family background is mediocre, and so is she.
He was about to respond with a few words, but Bao Jingyan spoke up before him: "Miss Xia, it’s best not to speak when you’re unsure."
Xia Minglan thought he was looking out for her.
She smiled faintly: "I did it for the reputation of the Bao Family!"
Bao Mingyuan found it quite distasteful.
The snowy weather was just right.
Bao Family has been doing well recently, what reputation do they need?
Xia Minglan expressed her worries: "I thought Miss Su was a proper girl, but seeing her arrogant behavior because she’s spoiled, I think it’s inappropriate, not to mention the recent scandals of the Su Family..."
She looked earnest: "Doesn’t Uncle think this could affect the Bao Family?"
Lady Bao listened to her talking nonsense.
She struggled not to roll her eyes: Just shut up! Think you can take down Su Ruanruan with such trivial matters?
She couldn’t help worrying about Ziqi’s offspring’s genes!
Bao Mingyuan couldn’t even bother to smile, "Ruanruan is the youngest child in our family, what’s wrong with spoiling her a bit? Miss Xia, you are overthinking."
Xia Minglan looked upset.
The youngest child in the family.
It was clear who was more important.
Just when she felt uncomfortable, Housekeeper Wang entered the door covered in light snow.
He was holding an invitation.
Bao Mingyuan asked, "Whose is it?"
Housekeeper Wang’s expression was complex as he said, "It’s for Young Master Jingyan."
He respectfully handed the invitation to Bao Jingyan.
Bao Jingyan didn’t care much, just flipped through it casually.
Bao Jingyuan exclaimed loudly, "It’s a premiere of a movie starring the Best Actress! She even invited our whole family to watch it."
Bao Jingyan looked indifferent.
Bao Jingyuan murmured, "Isn’t that Best Actress Su Ruanruan’s big brother’s girlfriend? Why is she making a move on big brother now?"
Just then, Su Ruanruan came downstairs to pick up her afternoon books.
Bao Mingyuan rejoiced in others’ misfortune: "Jingyan really has good market, even the Best Actress pursues him home! Luckily Jingyan doesn’t have a wife now, otherwise, wouldn’t it cause a family crisis? The jealousy would be overwhelming!"
Bao Jingyan lightly weighed the invitation.
He looked up, as if he just noticed Su Ruanruan.
He asked her, "Do you want to go?"
Bao Jingyuan wrapped her arm around his, cheerfully saying, "Big brother, I want to go!"
Bao Jingyan patted her: "Call Ruanruan, let’s all go as a family."
These words "as a family" were quite loaded.
Su Ruanruan felt his wicked sense of humor.
Bao Jingyuan was happy, then asked Su Ruanruan, "Will you feel uncomfortable seeing your former sister-in-law?"
Bao Jingyan added, "The Best Actress and Mr. Zhou have some history! In fact, she’s not only Ruanruan’s former sister-in-law but also the ex-girlfriend of Ruanruan’s current brother-in-law."
He intentionally mentioned Mr. Zhou.
He was really bothered by it.
Su Ruanruan simply sat next to him.
Bao Jingyan lowered his voice, "These days are free, why not go out and relax?"
Su Ruanruan bit her lip: he just wanted to see her get jealous.
Bao Jingyan added, "You definitely won’t be happy with others coveting me in private! Who knows how they’ll pester me in the future, why not protect me in person, hmm?"
Bao Mingyuan, who was close by, heard some of it.
This eldest son is so shameless!
Unexpectedly, Su Ruanruan agreed.
She smiled lightly, "I’ll go and keep an eye out for big brother! Who knows, maybe big brother will take a liking to her!"
No need for others to say, Bao Jingyuan was the first to disagree, "Big brother won’t like her! Big brother likes... likes..."
She thought for a long time, but couldn’t figure out what type big brother likes.
Then she muttered, "I think big brother likes someone like Ruanruan."
Xia Minglan added her two cents: "Big brother should like a dignified and elegant lady."
Bao Jingyan just smiled lightly.
