Su Ruanruan smiled faintly.
She asked in return, "Why would I deal with you?"
She opened the door and helped the elderly Madame He out.
The anxiously waiting reporters saw a group of people come out.
Xianni’s mother told the reporters, "The romantic entanglement between Xianni and the young Master He has implicated Miss Su, and I apologize to her!"
She bowed deeply to Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan returned the courtesy.
Xianni’s mother added, "I will discipline my daughter so that she will never step into the He family’s home again in her life."
She bowed deeply again, "I’m sorry to everyone!"
Xianni’s mother was thin and frail.
She also cared much about her face; she supported her daughter and left.
The reporters were dumbfounded.
They didn’t know how to conclude this farce.
Su Ruanruan took control of the situation.
She turned to the housekeeper and instructed, "You’ve all made the trip here, please prepare some gourmet food in the kitchen to treat everyone."
The housekeeper was thrilled.
He said, "As Miss orders."
The reporters came to their senses.
They had mistakenly blamed Miss Su, and instead of taking offense, she invited them to a meal.
Miss Su’s magnanimity was vast; no wonder she could manage the He Residence.
Out of gratitude, they all expressed,
"Don’t worry, Miss Su, we won’t write nonsense."
"Yes, we will only sing praises of the He family."
"Exactly, we hope the young Master He recovers soon."
...
Su Ruanruan smiled, "I thank you all."
She and the elderly Madame He exchanged a smiling look.
The situation had taken a favorable turn, ending satisfactorily.
Madame He was so happy she wept.
Jitang had been hurt by his ex-wife, and today he finally saw clearly.
Since then, he valued Su Ruanruan even more.

After handling everything, Su Ruanruan also dined at the He Residence.
During the meal, the housekeeper dutifully served her with deference.
Su Ruanruan teased him for being old-fashioned.
The housekeeper sincerely said, "Serving Miss Su is my good fortune."
While they were talking, Chen Er was helped in.
As soon as he entered, he knelt before Su Ruanruan with a plop.
He cried out in a pitiful voice, "Miss Su, I’ve wronged you! Chen Er is here to apologize. I was blinded by greed and harmed you, but I didn’t expect you to be so capable, dealing with that shameless woman so quickly."
Chen Er was a tough guy but sharp-minded.
He realized that in this family, Miss Su was the decision-maker.
He lunged forward, grabbing Su Ruanruan’s leg, "If Miss Su is willing, from now on, I, Chen Er, will work for Miss Su!"
Su Ruanruan continued to eat.
She said lightly, "What work would I have for a hooligan like you? Only Qin Chao appreciates someone like you!"
Qin Chao laughed to one side.
He said, "Exactly, someone like you isn’t even worthy to carry Miss Su’s shoes. Get lost!"
Su Ruanruan was intentionally teasing Chen Er.
She said to Qin Chao, "He does have his uses; he’s very loyal to Qin Chao."
Seeing that she wasn’t angry, Chen Er acted rascally, dragging the situation out to curry favor.
Su Ruanruan then said to the housekeeper, "Give him a check for 200,000 to recover. Whether we’ll use him later, you can ask Qin Chao."
Chen Er, shamelessly grateful, "I thank Miss Su."
At that moment, He Jitang came back.
Upon his return, he sought out Su Ruanruan to thank her.
Su Ruanruan smiled lightly, "Qin Chao, you’re right on time! If I were suspicious, I would think you deliberately left this mess for me."
He Jitang apologized to her.
He wanted to take her out for a meal.
Su Ruanruan declined, "Bao Jingyan is still at the hospital with Ci’an, I’m going to take over for him."
She left with Qin Chao.
He Jitang stood at the entrance hall, watching her leave.
His gaze was deep and inscrutable.
The butler stood by all the while.
He was shrewd and worldly, and he seemed to perceive something but dared not speak up.
