Sun Jing’an was feeling irritable.
Without thinking, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "I won’t see anyone today."
The housekeeper left.
At that moment, Old Lady Sun spoke up.
She said to Su Ruanruan, "Miss Su, I am aware of the difficulties you’ve faced these years!"
Her tone grew heavier, "But you should also consider Jingyan’s situation."
Su Ruanruan extended her hand.
She held Bao Jingyan’s hand.
She said to Old Lady Sun, "No matter when or where, I will always be with him."
Bao Jingyan looked at her tenderly.
Old Lady Sun was displeased.
The Sun Family had extended an olive branch, yet Su Ruanruan refused to descend.
This child was taking herself too seriously!
Just as she was about to lose her temper, Sun Jing’an’s personal phone rang.
Old Lady Sun, annoyed, said, "Jing’an, can’t you turn off your phone?"
Sun Jing’an apologized with a smile.
He glanced at the caller ID and said, "I can’t not answer this call! It’s from my mentor’s wife."
Upon hearing that it was a call from Old Lady He,
Old Lady Sun’s attitude naturally changed.
Old Lady He had been a benefactor to both her husband and eldest son.
In B city, she was a person of great virtue and high esteem.
Old Lady Sun held her in great respect.
She drank tea, her expression slightly reserved.
She wanted Su Ruanruan to see the Sun Family’s connections, hoping she would relent after the experience.
Sun Jing’an answered the phone.
As soon as Old Lady He got on the line, she was furious.
She said, "Jing’an, your grandeur has certainly grown! I come to visit your home, and not only do I have to be announced by your servants, but you, a person of such importance, refuse to even let me in! It seems our affection for each other should be completely severed."
Old Lady He concluded, "I have no other intention but to let you know!"
Sun Jing’an was shocked.
He stood up, clutching his phone and walked towards the outside.
He humbled himself excessively, "My mentor’s wife, I am terribly shortsighted! Where are you? I will come to pick you up."
Old Lady He snorted coldly.
Putting on airs, she sarcastically refused, "How dare I trouble Mr. Sun with such an inconvenience! I’ll be leaving now, so as not to occupy your auspicious land."
Sun Jing’an gave a bitter smile.
His mentor’s wife always had a sharp tongue and was quite formidable.
He quickly made his way to the main entrance.
Mrs. Sun Jing’an immediately followed, so as not to cause any disrespect.
Old Lady Sun took a sip of tea.
She said to Su Ruanruan, "It’s Jing’an’s mentor’s wife. I have no idea why she has come to Jiangcheng! She is of noble status. We’ll discuss your matter with Jingyan later."
After speaking, she instructed Sun Jingyu and the ladies to prepare the house.
She personally selected the tea leaves.
Her demeanor was very solemn.
About five minutes later.
Sun Jing’an welcomed Old Lady He.
Today’s Old Lady He was not like her usual self.
She was finely dressed.
Her gray hair was elegantly pinned up.
She wore a dark floral modified cheongsam.
Around her neck was a string of green jade beads.
Bead by bead, they were imperial green, a rare treasure.
On her wrist, she wore a full-diamond watch.
It was worth a fortune, perhaps hundreds of millions!
Old Lady He came from a distinguished background.
In her early years, everyone who met her had to address her as ’princess.’
Now, she was accompanied by her two dowry maids.
This imposing presence clearly overshadowed Old Lady Sun.
Old Lady Sun admired her.
She welcomed her warmly, holding Old Lady He’s hand.
"Jing’an is foolish! If I had known you were coming, I would have prepared properly."
Old Lady He wasn’t angry with her.
She entered, scanning the room first.
When she saw Bao Jingyan and Su Ruanruan, she snorted lightly.
She seemed displeased.
Old Lady Sun misunderstood.
She said to Bao Jingyan and Su Ruanruan, "You two go back first, and come again tomorrow."
Bao Jingyan would not leave. Original content can be found at novel-fire.ɴet
He would not allow Su Ruanruan to leave either.
Old Lady Sun gave a meaningful look.
At this moment, Mrs. Sun Jing’an said with a smile, "Jingyan and Ruanruan also know the mentor’s wife! Especially Ruanruan, she is Old Lady He’s chief surgeon."
