<h4>Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Returning to the Bao Family! Things are Different Now!</h4><h4></h4>


    Su Ruanruan arrived at the Bao Mansion at nearly ten o’clock.


    Housekeeper Wang personally helped her open the car door.


    He said with a pun, "Miss Su, we meet again."


    Su Ruanruan gave a slight smile, as she walked and spoke, "You’ve been working hard managing the household during this period."


    Housekeeper Wang then felt that Su Ruanruan increasingly had the bearing of ady of the house.


    Young Master Jingyan has taught her well!


    He led Su Ruanruan into the hall.


    Bao Mingyuan had been waiting for a long time, his fingers trembling at the sound of footsteps.


    He almost burned himself with the cigarette butt.


    Yet, he maintained hisposure without losing his demeanor, gazing deeply at Su Ruanruan and saying, "It’s good that you’re back! It’s good that you’re back."


    For Bao Mingyuan, that was a statement full of deep emotion.


    Su Ruanruan, however, was cold, "Mr. Bao, I came to visit the olddy."


    Bao Mingyuan’s heart felt like it was being torn apart.


    He forced augh, then said to Housekeeper Wang, "It’s been only a few days, and look how estranged this child has be! She even calls me Mr. Bao now."


    Housekeeper Wang said, "Miss Su is not being estranged, she is being discreet."


    Bao Mingyuan couldn’t smile anymore.


    He sighed and said, "Go see the olddy, she’s been thinking about you."


    Su Ruanruan hmmed, and followed Housekeeper Wang away.


    Bao Mingyuan remained seated, pondering over that terme "Mr. Bao"!


    Truly, it felt like a cut to the heart!


    He recalled the day when Ruanruan became the head of Dijing Research and Development Department, how spirited she was, and how proudly he had taken her to thepany’s restaurant, ying the role of a benevolent father.


    Back then, Ruanruan must have harbored some admiration for him!


    Such a good child, yet he personally pushed her away.


    Bao Mingyuan felt ufortable at heart, continually sitting on the sofa smoking.


    He had no intention of going to thepany.


    ...


    Inside a small courtyard.


    The olddy perked her ears and asked Gui Zhi, "Has she arrived?"


    Gui Zhi replied, "It sounds like she has."


    The olddy immediatelyy down, crying out in pain...


    Su Ruanruan entered and saw this scene.


    She felt quite guilty, and while examining, asked Gui Zhi, "How long has the olddy been like this?"


    Gui Zhi yed along naturally, answering, "It’s been two days! I’ve been suggesting that youe to see her, but the olddy refused, saying she had no face to invite you because the Mister has wronged Miss Su."


    Su Ruanruan felt even worse inside.


    She told the olddy, "He is him, the olddy is the olddy."


    "Do you really think that?" The olddy jerked, jumping up.


    But she immediately felt it was too abrupt, andy down again, crying out in pain.


    Su Ruanruan helped her press on her knee, asking Gui Zhi to bring some ice.


    Gui Zhi felt conflicted.


    This... even if there’s no illness, it might cause harm due to the cold!


    The olddy sternly replied: "Go quickly! The important matters first!"


    Gui Zhi hastily went to fetch the ice.


    Su Ruanruan continued to carefully crush it and applied it on the olddy, patient and meticulous.


    The olddy gritted her teeth from the cold.


    Gui Zhi couldn’t bear to look!


    Yet Su Ruanruan did not suspect, and was exceptionally thorough, applying it for nearly half an hour.


    "Is the olddy feeling better now?" she asked.


    The olddy, exhausted from the ordeal, waved her hand weakly, and mournfully said, "A bit better."


    After speaking, she buried her face into the armchair, biting the cushion.


    The elder sister’s heart ached, but she couldn’t speak.


    Seeing this, Gui Zhi felt both amused and sympathetic.


    She told Su Ruanruan, "The olddy’s health isn’t good, Miss Su, please go to the hall for a meal."


    Su Ruanruan didn’t want to go to the front hall, but Gui Zhi finally persuaded her with great effort.


    After Su Ruanruan left.


    The olddy finally took a breath, "Didn’t give ourselves away, did we?"


    "Your performance was very convincing!" Gui Zhi praised.


    With her hair disheveled, the olddy gritted her teeth, "If there’s a next time, let Mingyuane himself."


    She cried out, "Quick, bring a nket to cover me! These old bones can’t take it anymore."


    Gui Zhi quickly fetched the nket.


    With all this maniption, the olddy really made a fuss.


    Her leg condition acted up again!
