Gu Mansion.
Mrs. Sun Jingan accompanied her mother-in-law to propose the marriage.
She knew etiquette well, and all formalities were thoughtfully and thoroughly observed.
Madam Gu observed quietly and was very satisfied.
She, along with Gu Ze and Mrs. Gu Ze, joined the Sun family for tea.
It was with some hesitation that the old Mrs. Sun asked for this favor.
She initially wanted to entrust this matter to her eldest daughter-in-law, but Jingan convinced her otherwise.
Jingan said to her: If you don’t go, even if Ruanruan marries into our family, she won’t be respected by outsiders! People will say she does not have your approval. After Ruanruan saved Anran and secured the project, doesn’t she deserve the highest respect?
The old Mrs. Sun pondered it all night.
Ultimately, she thickened her skin and made the trip.
Contrary to her expectations, Madam Gu did not take advantage of the situation to embarrass her.
On the contrary, Madam Gu was very polite.
Old Mrs. Sun felt quite ashamed.
Fortunately, Mrs. Sun Jingan mediated between them, making the atmosphere rather pleasant.
While they were speaking, Su Ruanruan returned.
Madam Gu welcomed her with a smile, "The old lady and Mrs. Sun Jingan are here, go greet them."
Su Ruanruan greeted them with a light smile.
She did not step forward.
Everything was discussed by Madam Gu, Gu Ze, and them.
Mrs. Sun Jingan secretly thought: Madam Gu is truly an impressive person, her children turned out very well.
She values Su Ruanruan.
Everything showed that they were offering their best.
After speaking, she looked intently at old Mrs. Sun.
Already uncomfortable, old Mrs. Sun coughed lightly: "What are you looking at me for?"
Mrs. Sun Jingan reminded her, "Didn’t you bring some things?"
Reminded by this, old Mrs. Sun remembered.
She sat up straight and gestured to Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan sat beside her.
Old Mrs. Sun took out a box.
A foot square, very exquisite.
She touched the box gently and whispered, "This is Weilian’s old item, I took it back after Mingyuan remarried! I thought of giving it to Jingyan’s wife when he got married."
Old Mrs. Sun sighed softly, "I never thought that you and Jingyan were fated."
She was somewhat sad.
Eventually, she handed the box to Su Ruanruan, without many sentimental words, only said: "Child, you have suffered in the past."
Su Ruanruan held the box.
Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
The acknowledgment from old Mrs. Sun was not that important to her, after all.
But, she wanted the belongings of Jingyan’s mother.
Only by receiving them, she truly considered herself Jingyan’s wife.
Later, the Sun family discussed the wedding date with the Gu family, Madam Gu was reluctant to marry off her daughter too soon, so they set the date during the warm bloom of March the following year.
Old Mrs. Sun also agreed.
She told her daughter-in-law, "Shuci, you handle things well, I leave this to you."
Shuci smiled, "Mother, don’t worry."
She held Su Ruanruan’s hand and gently patted it.
In the afternoon, Bao Mingyuan and Bao Jingyan went to the Gu Mansion again to finalize everything.
Su Ruanruan felt surreal!
Just like that, she was getting married?
Back at the mansion, she looked at the box in the bedroom.
Inside were the jewelry worn by Sun Weilian.
Each piece was rare.
The styles were all to Su Ruanruan’s liking.
She looked at them for a long time...
Bao Jingyan came upstairs, and saw her dazed expression.
He gently tapped her little head, teasing her, "So enamored with wealth?"
Su Ruanruan glanced at him.
Her gaze was indescribable.
She said, "You really don’t understand a woman’s heart."
Bao Jingyan reached from behind her and played with the jewelry.
All were his mother’s favored pieces, some he even remembered.
Bao Jingyan was silent for a moment.
