Su Ruanruan moved out of the Bao Mansion.
Xia Minglan got the news.
She felt indescribably comfortable and immediately took a car ride over.
In the afternoon, the Bao Mansion was rather quiet.
Her steps were light.
She wanted to spend a tender moment with Bao Ziqi and mend their relationship.
Pushing the door open, Bao Ziqi was packing his things, with a passport lying at the end of the bed.
Xia Minglan was stunned.
She went over, picked it up and flipped through it: "Ziqi, you’re going abroad?"
Bao Ziqi didn’t hide it, "Yes, I’ll leave after the New Year."
Xia Minglan panicked: "What about me? What should I do?"
Bao Ziqi lit a cigarette and sat down on the couch.
After a while, he said, "This period is a good time to cool off. Xia Minglan, we really aren’t suitable for each other."
He tried hard to like her.
He also tried hard to tolerate her flaws.
But he just couldn’t feel it.
Bao Ziqi didn’t want to settle.
After finishing a cigarette, he said, "Let’s break up!"
Xia Minglan slumped at the end of the bed, muttering, "Weren’t we aiming for marriage?"
"But we don’t suit each other," Bao Ziqi extinguished the cigarette butt.
He took out a delicate box from the bedside table.
A set of valuable jewelry.
"It’s my compensation to you," Bao Ziqi said softly.
Xia Minglan’s dreams were shattered.
She lost her composure to the extreme and knocked over the box Bao Ziqi was holding.
The diamond necklace and bracelet fell to the ground.
Bao Ziqi’s temper wasn’t good either!
But he wished for a good parting.
He picked them up, packed them again, and stuffed them into her hands.
Xia Minglan wept and collapsed into his arms: "Ziqi, I don’t want to break up!"
Bao Ziqi handed her a few tissues.
When she calmed down a bit, he said, "Don’t come over anymore."
Xia Minglan was extremely embarrassed.
She could have not taken the jewelry, making him never forget her.
But in the end, she still took it.
The sound of a car leaving echoed in the courtyard.
Bao Jingyuan was lying on the balcony spying, and then she ran back to the living room to report to the Bao Madam.
"Sister Minglan really left."
"Did Second Brother really break up with her?"
Bao Madam leisurely drank her tea.
She glanced at her daughter: "She wasn’t up to par."
Bao Jingyuan naively nodded her head.
After a while, she asked again: "Mom, does this mean we have to listen to Su Ruanruan from now on?"
Bao Madam became furious.
Bao Jingyuan immediately ran away!
Xia Minglan took a car ride home.
Xia’s mother wanted to demand an explanation from Bao Madam.
A phone call over, and she was ridiculed by Bao Madam instead.
Xia’s mother was furious, and Xia Minglan was even more distressed to the point of wanting to die.
She sat on the sofa, drinking sullenly.
Xia family’s cousin Xia Minghan, who had keys in hand, was ready to go out.
He had returned from studying abroad and was eager for social interaction.
Seeing his cousin this way, he naturally asked.
Xia Minglan, half-drunk but still lucid, blamed everything on Su Ruanruan.
She thought: If someone were to hurt Su Ruanruan, wouldn’t she be even more miserable than herself?
Xia Minglan clung to her cousin’s shoulder, tears streaming down her face, saying: "Ziqi broke up with me! It’s all because of Su Ruanruan, she was jealous of my status in the Bao Family and couldn’t tolerate me, determined to drive me out!"
She did not hesitate to twist the truth: "Minghan, did you know? When Ziqi was unconscious in the hospital, Su Ruanruan was holding his hand every day. Which man could forget her?"
Xia Minghan was furious.
He spoke sternly to Xia Minglan: "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her."
Xia Minglan was disoriented: "Minghan, what are you going to do?"
"Don’t worry about it! Leave everything to me!" Xia Minghan had the family’s servants watch over her and drove away himself.
