Mrs. Gu felt a surge of apprehension.
Mrs. Zhou was incredibly cunning.
Such tactics made it almost impossible to refuse...
Yet Su Ruanruan remained indifferent.
She had no interest in Zhou’s son, so the outcome of any interaction would be the same.
The hosts and the main guests sat together for a while and talked about Su Ruanruan’s upcoming trip to Britain.
Mrs. Gu felt somewhat sad.
Her daughter had just been acknowledged...
Gu Yuanpei suggested, "Why don’t we just throw a farewell party? Let the younger generation have some fun."
Su Ruanruan did not refuse.
This time she would be gone for five years; there were quite a few people she needed to say goodbye to.
The night before Su Ruanruan left for Britain.
She invited those she wanted to bid farewell to.
The location was at Mu Jiu’s club.
The news spread quickly.
When Su Ruanruan’s car arrived at the parking lot, there were already many reporters waiting there.
This was the first appearance of the Gu heiress after her heartbreak.
The reporters were all waiting to take photos for the headlines.
The black limousine slowly pulled up, and the Gu family driver opened the door for Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan got out of the car.
Her features were exquisite.
She wore a light-colored long dress.
The evening breeze lifted it, making her appear like a fairy.
The photos were posted online, instantly becoming a hot topic in River City.
Netizens immediately began to discuss.
[I bet several packs of spicy strips! It must be Su Ruanruan who initiated the breakup!]
[If I were Bao Jingyan, I’d be kneeling on eggs tonight.]
[I don’t believe they would break up...]
At this point, an "anonymous source" released information.
[The Zhou family from City B has approached the Gu family with a marriage proposal!]
[Insider information! Authentic! Su Ruanruan still holds an important position in the Bao family.]
[The goddess is very much in demand!]
Su Ruanruan entered the club with the escort of her bodyguards.
Rather than a farewell party, it seemed she had matters to instruct.
Mu Jiu, Su Minghua... she couldn’t stop worrying about them.
She gave thorough instructions.
Mu Jiu was reluctant to part with her.
Su Ruanruan smiled: "Mu Jiu, if you have time, come visit me in Britain."
She also said to Su Minghua, "Manage the hospital well; you are the Su family’s only hope now."
He said, "Little sister, I’ll be waiting for your return."
Su Ruanruan embraced them.
Gu Jiarou was particularly upset.
But she didn’t utter a word of complaint.
They had arranged in advance.
Tonight, they wanted Ruanruan to be happy.
Su Ruanruan drank some wine.
She leaned on Mu Jiu’s shoulder, appearing to be drunk.
But only Mu Jiu knew.
Su Ruanruan was crying.
What she truly couldn’t let go of, was still Bao Jingyan’s pretty face.
Mu Jiu felt terribly sad, and he gently patted her shoulder.
He said, "I see that he has many schemes up his sleeve! He might not be at his wit’s end yet."
Su Ruanruan shook her head.
Mu Jiu didn’t understand just how powerful Sun Jingan was.
Having made a promise, how could she go back on her word?
It was enough that she had already hurt both others and herself.
Mu Jiu felt a chill in his heart.
He had always liked Ruanruan, but seeing her so distressed now, he was filled with a newfound determination.
Nothing was more important than her happiness!
Mu Jiu knew how to enjoy life.
But Su Ruanruan was restrained, regaining composure after a brief lapse.
She said her goodbyes without wanting anyone to see her off.
Gu Jiarou leaned against Mu Jiu, weeping bitterly.
Su Ruanruan left the club.
The night breeze brushed her face as she closed her eyes for a moment.
When she opened them again, her body froze.
Bao Jingyan stood across the parking lot.
Wearing a black shirt and dress pants.
He had lost a lot of weight, especially noticeable at the cheekbones.
His gaze was profound as he calmly watched her.
Su Ruanruan looked back into his eyes...
After a moment, he walked towards her.
When he was just a step away, Bao Jingyan stopped.
He asked in a low voice, "You’re leaving tomorrow?"
Su Ruanruan hummed in affirmation.
He offered to take her home, but Su Ruanruan declined.
Her voice trembled slightly as she pointed to the car ahead, "The driver is waiting for me."
