Yin Mingzhu was with that girl from City C.
The young miss’s tone was not pleasant.
Impatiently, she lectured the girl about some etiquette.
The girl named Xiaoxun was timid, always nodding in agreement.
Su Ruanruan let out a faint smile.
She passed by them.
Yin Mingzhu stopped her: "Su Ruanruan, don’t you want to meet her?"
Su Ruanruan feigned surprise: "Yin Zhao’s girlfriend?"
Yin Mingzhu was taken aback.
She didn’t expect Su Ruanruan to react this way, so she hinted further: "Don’t you think she resembles someone?"
Su Ruanruan looked her over for a moment and said: "Upon closer inspection, she does resemble you and your brother quite a bit. Dean Yin’s daughter from outside the family?"
Yin Mingzhu was furious.
Su Ruanruan disgusted Yin Mingzhu and went to change into her gown in high spirits.
Her figure was slender, her skin was fair, she looked good in anything.
The stylist was full of praise.
She said: "This dress is as if it were tailor-made for Miss Su! It suits you especially well!"
Su Ruanruan smiled lightly.
She ran her fingers through her hair and suggested: "How about a retro hairstyle that day!"
She contemplated: Pairing it with an emerald set would surely be commanding.
Her opinion was well received, and the stylist lavished her with more praise.
Su Ruanruan, lifting the hem of her dress, stepped out.
She wanted to see what Bao Jingyan thought, to ask for his opinion.
As soon as she stepped out, Bao Jingyan rose to give her the utmost respect.
In front of the large floor mirror, he stood beside her.
The man was handsome.
The woman was noble and beautiful.
Bao Jingyan gently gathered her long hair and murmured: "Changing your hairstyle for the occasion will surely look even better."
Su Ruanruan shared a smile with him.
...
That scene was witnessed by the City C girl.
Xiaoxun had seen Bao Jingyan before.
She worked as a waitress in a five-star hotel in City C where Bao Jingyan had stayed.
He was prestigious, didn’t pay much attention to women.
She thought he was indifferent, but he was so tender towards Miss Su.
Xiaoxun dropped her gaze.
She fantasized: She resembles President Bao’s child, who has a mother that never shows up, perhaps someone even President Bao has never seen. If she could bluff her way through, maybe President Bao would treat her differently.
She wanted to become Mrs. Bao.
Su Ruanruan naturally noticed her gaze.
She smiled faintly.
Bao Jingyan asked softly, "Looking at what?"
Su Ruanruan leaned on his shoulder, her beautiful eyes following Xiaoxun.
She whispered, "I saw a pretty girl, does Jingyan want to take a look?"
Bao Jingyan pinched her cheek.
He said, "Not as pretty as my Ruanruan."

Meanwhile, Yin Mingzhu had brought Xiaoxun back to the Yin Family residence.
Mrs. Yin sat on the sofa drinking tea.
She was hell-bent on bringing down Su Ruanruan, with malice showing in her beautiful eyes.
Xiaoxun followed Yin Mingzhu inside, unable to hide her fear.
Yin Mingzhu tossed her purse on the sofa and lit a cigarette: "Is Dad out philandering again?"
Mrs. Yin smiled faintly.
Her husband’s philandering no longer concerned her.
She looked towards Xiaoxun with a caring face: "Are you settling in okay?"
Xiaoxun was timid: "It’s fine! It’s just too nice."
She had never lived in such a nice house in her life, nor had ever such nice clothes to wear.
Those jewels, how brilliantly they shone!
Mrs. Yin pulled her closer and while stroking her hair, she said with a smile, "Once you become little Jiaoren’s mother, what can’t you have? That Miss Su doesn’t compare to you."
Xiaoxun was still uneasy: "I... Mr. Bao seems to really like her."
Mrs. Yin laughed.
She told the girl: "Men are all the same! The important thing is, you must insist that Jiaoren is the child born from your night with Jingyan after he was drunk!"
The girl was naive, unaware of Mrs. Yin’s malevolence.
How could Bao Jingyan, such a cautious man, not know his child’s birth mother?
Mrs. Yin simply wanted to target Su Ruanruan.
Yet the girl took it to heart; she returned to her bedroom and naively began to dream.
