Su Qionglin had thought that being with Bao Ziqi was already ascending to the heavens.
But when Bao Jingyan bid 20 million with a wave of his hand, she realized who the truly formidable person in the Bao Family was.
However, she believed that Bao Jingyan would not take a liking to Su Ruanruan. What kind of woman couldn’t a man like that have?
Thinking , Su Qionglin felt much more comfortable.
In the following auction, the Bao Family members did not participate anymore.
Bao Jingyan and Bao Ziqi went out of the school gate to smoke, while Bao Mingyuan walked around with his family.
Seeing his youngest daughter with red-rimmed eyes, Bao Mingyuan knew she felt wronged.
So, he smiled and patted Bao Jingyuan’s head, "Show me and your mother around."
Bao Jingyuan awkwardly said, "There’s really nothing fun to see at Zhongjiang Academy of Fine Arts."
Bao Mingyuan, with his hands clasped behind his back, smiled and said, "That Professor Su isn’t fun either? Didn’t you fight for him?"
Bao Jingyuan’s face reddened, and she stomped her foot, "I did not."
Mrs. Bao gave her husband a reproachful look, "Mingyuan."
Bao Mingyuan suddenly turned to Su Ruanruan, "It’s your second brother, right! Let’s do this, you take us there, we’d like to see Jingyuan’s heartthrob."
Su Ruanruan glanced at Bao Jingyuan.
Bao Jingyuan, with cheeks flushed, didn’t object.
Mrs. Bao then said, "Qionglin is also Professor Su’s sister, right?"
Bao Mingyuan chuckled, "But Qionglin is not a student of Zhongjiang Academy of Fine Arts."
Su Qionglin felt his estrangement and felt somewhat uncomfortable.
And hated Su Ruanruan even more!
If it wasn’t for Su Ruanruan, she and Bao Ziqi’s marriage would have been a done deal!
At this moment, she completely forgot how the Su Family had forced 18-year-old Su Ruanruan to keep the room for Bao Ziqi.
Su Ruanruan was surprised by Bao Mingyuan’s attitude.
But then she understood after a second thought.
In Bao Mingyuan’s heart, whether it was Bao Ziqi, Bao Jingse, or Bao Jingyuan, none were to carry the heavy responsibilities of the Bao Family, so the marriages of these three children mainly depended on their own preferences.
But Bao Jingyan was different.
Bao Jingyan’s wife had to be someone approved by Bao Mingyuan.
Su Ruanruan thought of the words Bao Jingyan had said, feeling indescribable inside.
She was about to lead the group to the office building when Su Ru’an happened to walk by.
"Second brother," Su Ruanruan called out softly.
Su Ru’an was surprised, then naturally patted Su Ruanruan’s hair, "I heard about what happened just now, I was about to look for you."
He teased her a bit, his tone carrying a hint of doting.
Su Qionglin also called out "Second brother."
It was as if Su Ru’an only noticed her then, giving a shallow smile, "Qionglin is here, too."
In order to show off in front of the Bao Family, Su Qionglin deliberately introduced, "These are Ziqi and Jingyuan’s parents! Uncle and aunt, this is my second brother, Su Ru’an."
Bao Mingyuan smiled, "I’ve long heard about Ruanruan having an artist for a second brother, and seeing you today, you certainly live up to your reputation!"
He went on to say that he’d request a work from Su Ru’an, not mentioning a single word about his daughter’s feelings!
Bao Jingyuan became somewhat anxious, calling out softly, "Dad!"
Bao Mingyuan looked deeply at his youngest daughter.
There were some things he couldn’t say.
Actually, he had quite liked Su Ru’an.
But the way Su Ru’an looked at Ruanruan was not as a brother, but as a man looks at a woman.
Bao Mingyuan still had that discernment.
If Su Ru’an’s heart was occupied by someone else, Jingyuan wouldn’t be happy.
Bao Mingyuan exchanged pleasantries with Su Ru’an for a few words, then turned to Su Ruanruan saying, "When you have time, please invite your second brother to come to our house."
He patted Su Ruanruan, with the air of a family elder.
Su Ru’an’s gaze flickered.
