B City.
Su Ruanruan said to Mrs. Sun Jingan, "The time has come!"
She asked Song Wei to arrange a large-scale dinner party to entertain Mr. Zhou and Yin Mingzhu together.
Song Wei was on good terms with her, and her husband was a close relative of Su Ruanruan, so naturally, he helped.
Mrs. Sun Jingan was puzzled.
She asked, "You’re letting Yin Mingzhu steal the spotlight again?"
Su Ruanruan smiled mysteriously: "Of course not."
She took Mrs. Sun Jingan to the dressing room and then opened the safe.
Su Ruanruan pulled out a rather large velvet box!
Upon opening it, inside was an emerald necklace.
Dazzling and extremely valuable.
Even Mrs. Sun Jingan, who was used to seeing luxurious items, took a deep breath.
She couldn’t help but say, "This must be worth several hundred million! Our family’s matriarch has one, but it’s not as valuable as this one."
Su Ruanruan took her hand and softly disclosed, "The value is secondary! The important thing is this."
She took out a photograph.
Mrs. Sun Jingan fixed her gaze upon it.
It was a petite and extremely beautiful woman.
She was wearing a dark green cheongsam, and around her neck was just such an emerald necklace.
Exactly the same!
Mrs. Sun Jingan, being very clever, blurted out, "This is Mrs. Zhou."
Su Ruanruan smiled: "You have a keen insight, recognizing her at first glance!"
She continued, "This photo was taken on Mrs. Zhou’s birthday. The fabric of the dress was personally chosen by Mr. Zhou, and the necklace was also a gift from him, serving as a testament to their love! Aunt Jing’an, with your broad understanding, you must also be aware that many influential men, though they may be promiscuous outside, view their wives in a different light! And these wives are usually willing to turn a blind eye, but once a mistress crosses their bottom line, they will not let it go easily!"
Mrs. Sun Jingan clapped her hands in amazement.
Su Ruanruan spoke softly, "I will gift this necklace to Yin Mingzhu!"
As for the right person...
There was a knock at the door from a servant, the voice respectful: "Miss Su, Mrs. Ma has arrived."
Su Ruanruan and Mrs. Sun Jingan looked at each other and smiled.
Mrs. Sun Jingan praised her, "You know how to use people! Mrs. Ma is indeed very capable!"
Su Ruanruan chuckled, "She just has a talent!"
The two greeted Mrs. Ma.
As expected, Mrs. Ma was here for the same reason.
She guessed that Su Ruanruan was about to strike decisively, and she volunteered to make a contribution.
Mrs. Ma said, "My husband Mr. Ma has been graced by Miss Su’s kindness, and we didn’t know how to repay it until now, the opportunity has come."
Su Ruanruan presented the precious necklace and also a dark green cheongsam.
Mrs. Ma took the items and left.
Mrs. Sun Jingan continued to sip her tea and spoke lightly, "I was chatting with your uncle this morning, and he tends to underestimate people. He says that defeating a Yin Mingzhu is nothing extraordinary, but if we could get Mr. Zhou to do business with us, that would truly be impressive!"
Su Ruanruan poured more tea.
She feigned annoyance, "Now you are completely on Uncle Jing’an’s side and don’t consider me at all!"
Mrs. Sun Jingan embraced her, "When have I not cherished you?"
In the warmth of her affection, Su Ruanruan rested on the woman’s shoulder and said softly, "Mr. Zhou does not like me! He even harbors some hostility towards me! I think it has something to do with this photo."
She took out the photo again.
Mrs. Sun Jingan realized immediately, cutting to the heart of it, "You resemble Mrs. Zhou by eighty percent!"
Su Ruanruan smiled faintly, "From this action, it is clear he deeply loves Mrs. Zhou."
Mrs. Sun Jingan held her affectionately, gently stroking her hair, "You cunning sprite, don’t think I don’t know that you have a plan already! Your extensive efforts to draw out Mrs. Zhou are not just about playing a mistress!"
Su Ruanruan acted coquettishly with her, "Auntie knows me best!"
Mrs. Sun Jingan laughed, "The one who knows you best isn’t Jingyan? He’s been taking care of you since he was 18, how can anyone else compare?"
The two continued to chat idly for a while.
