Gu Yuanpei and his wife exchanged a glance.
The housekeeper spoke with some discomfort, "They’ve come looking for the young miss and have made quite a big show of it."
The Gu Family’s main gate was wide open, ready to welcome the distinguished guests.
A line of black Rolls-Royce Phantoms entered the Gu Mansion one after another.
The Madame Gu silently counted.
There were as many as 18 cars.
Who could it be, to put on such a show?
At this time, someone alighted from the leading car.
It turned out to be Madam Zhou.
Madam Zhou had come with her son to propose marriage!
This time, the young master of the Zhou Family had come with sincerity.
Regardless of success or failure, he had cleared away all the other women around him.
He was different today than usual.
The Gu couple was shocked; this was too abrupt.
But Madam Zhou did not find it abrupt at all; instead, she felt that her timing was perfect.
She had taken an early liking to Su Ruanruan, but lamented that the girl was already spoken for.
Now that the Bao and Gu families had dissolved their engagement, Jinhua saw an opportunity.
Madam Zhou, with a spring in her step, directed the servants to carry in gifts.
The Gu couple felt it sudden, but they couldn’t refuse to host those who had come from afar.
The host and guests proceeded into the hall together.
They brewed some fine tea.
Madam Zhou took a sip of tea.
She cut straight to the point: "I heard that Ruanruan is going to Britain, and Jinhua will also be expanding his business in Britain next year, so they could keep each other company. I wonder if Mr. and Mrs. Gu are considering this?"
The Young Master Zhou’s playboy reputation was known throughout the city.
Even if he turned over a new leaf and treated Ruanruan well, it would still be unfair to her.
Gu Yuanpei lightly tapped on the tea cup, tactfully declining.
He said, "The child is in a bad mood, it’s too soon to discuss these things."
Madam Zhou knew what was going on.
But she was not angry.
She had known the outcome before she came; this visit was just about registering her son’s interest in advance.
Su Ruanruan was still young.
After this incident, she’d probably avoid relationships for two or three years.
Jinhua would just make his feelings known for now.
Afterwards, he would be able to linger around Ruanruan with legitimacy.
Madam Zhou sipped her tea smilingly.
Just as she was about to ask Su Ruanruan to come down and alleviate her son’s longing, the housekeeper came to report again.
"Mr. Bao has arrived."
Gu Yuanpei frowned: "Which Mr. Bao?"
The housekeeper said: "Bao Mingyuan, Mr. Bao."
Madame Gu asked gently, "What is he here for?"
As her words fell, Bao Mingyuan had already walked in.
He spoke to Madame Gu, "I’ve come to see Ruanruan."
At the same time, he shot a glance at Madam Zhou!
Heh, that was swift action!
Bao Mingyuan pretended not to know, and asked Madame Gu to call Su Ruanruan down.
Madame Gu exchanged a look with her husband.
Under these circumstances, it was better not to have Ruanruan appear!
Bao Mingyuan did not insist.
After sitting for a while, he left, only leaving behind a share transfer agreement.
Ten percent of the shares of Di Jing.
He had transferred them to Su Ruanruan.
He told Mr. and Mrs. Gu, "Ruanruan is my child now! She should come back home and visit when she has the time."
After Bao Mingyuan left, the atmosphere was somewhat delicate.
Madam Zhou put down her teacup.
She smiled slightly: "I didn’t expect Ruanruan to be so sought after! Mrs. Gu, our Zhou Family is sincere too. If Ruanruan ends up with Jinhua, she will be in charge in the future."
The Gu couple looked at each other.
Just as they were thinking about how to refuse, Su Ruanruan started descending the staircase gracefully.
She had lost a lot of weight.
Looking even more heartbreakingly beautiful.
The young master of the Zhou Family longed for her greatly.
He stood up involuntarily: "Ruanruan."
Madam Zhou, seeing her son about to express his feelings, quickly stopped him.
She was like any ordinary elder, holding Su Ruanruan’s hand and saying, "Auntie was passing by Jiangcheng, and came to see you with Jinhua. If you have any troubles in the future, you can turn to Jinhua."
She took a sip of tea, her face full of joy, "Jinhua may be unruly, but he does have some capabilities."
