<h4>Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Underestimated Su Ruanruan’s Status in the Bao Family</h4><h4></h4>


    Su Ruanruan had spent the whole day outside and only returned to the Bao Mansion in the evening.


    Tonight, the Bao Mansion was abuzz.


    Xia Minn was visiting and chatting with thedies of the Bao family.


    Bao Jingyan was there too, sitting on the sofa idly flipping through a magazine.


    Su Ruanruan didn’t want to join in such a scene.


    She gave a nod and was ready to head to the courtyard.


    However, Bao Jingyan put down the book in his hand and asked her, "I’ve been waiting for you half the day, why did you onlye back now?"


    He said it so casually, as if Su Ruanruan was a member of this family.


    In front of others, Su Ruanruan didn’t want to embarrass him.


    She said softly, "I went shopping with Jiarou."


    Bao Jingyan’s gaze was deep, and he did not question her further.


    But it was Xia Minn who smiled slightly: "You mean Gu Jiarou? I’ve met her a few times too, she’s a very cute girl."


    Su Ruanruan had no intention of making friends with her, and simply gave a faint smile.


    Xia Minn felt a bit ufortable.


    She was going to be the future seconddy of the Bao family, and Su Ruanruan was just a guest.


    Yet she was so cold.


    So Xia Minn said, "Speaking of which, I cane and go as I please at the Gu Family too."


    Her words were not friendly.


    Just as Su Ruanruan was about to speak, Bao Ziqi came downstairs.


    He immediately ask Xia Minn, "Don’t you have your own home? Why do you have to visit others’ houses!"


    "Ziqi!" Xia Minn lost face and acted coquettishly.


    But Bao Ziqi did not fall for it.


    He wanted a wife, not a woman who causes trouble.


    He was cold towards Xia Minn, who then med Su Ruanruan for this treatment.


    At this moment, a chuckle was heard.


    It was Bao Jingyan.


    Hezily stood up and instructed Housekeeper Wang, "Tell the master toe down for dinner, and let him know that Miss Su is back."


    This sentence carried weight.


    It indicated that Bao Mingyuan had been waiting for Su Ruanruan to start dinner.


    Xia Minn was taken aback.


    She had underestimated Su Ruanruan’s status in the Bao family...


    ...


    Bao Mingyuan came downstairs shortly after, and affectionately said as soon as he saw Su Ruanruan, "Hungry, right? Let’s start the meal."


    Madam Bao pursed her lips.


    Bao Jingyuan was even more furious!


    Her father had shown no such enthusiasm even when sister Minn visited their home!


    She was angry but dared not show it.


    During dinner, Bao Mingyuan personally served Su Ruanruan food and asked, "I heard from the housekeeper that you went to the hospital?"


    Su Ruanruan nodded.


    After a moment, she said, "Mu Jiu hasn’t agreed yet."


    Bao Mingyuan was not surprised.


    Such harsh conditions, only if Mu Jiu was out of his mind would he agree.


    He had already prepared for the worst, which was to take Su Ruanruan in as his goddaughter.


    This would be much more dignified than adopting Mu Jiu.


    Bao Mingyuan tenderly served Su Ruanruan food,pletely ignoring Xia Minn, who was about to be his daughter-inw.


    Xia Minn was furious.


    Her good upbringing vanished.


    After dinner, when Bao Ziqi drove her home, her face was tense the whole ride.


    When it came time to get out of the car, she finally couldn’t hold back, "Su Ruanruan hasn’t even aplished anything major, why does your father value her so much?"


    Bao Ziqi’s hands were on the steering wheel.


    He sat up straight.


    He asked hoarsely, "You can’t stand it?"


    Xia Minn couldn’t gauge his attitude and murmured, "Ziqi."


    Bao Ziqi turned his head and said, "If you can’t ept it, you can bring it up with me."


    Xia Minn’s face turned pale.


    Was he suggesting breaking up?


    She quickly exined, "I’m just curious! Ziqi, don’t you think your dad has a special..."


    Bao Ziqi’s gaze was icy cold.


    She dared not continue.


    "Get out," he said as he reached out to open the car door, "Get some rest early."


    Xia Minn refused to leave.


    She was afraid that once his car left, he would break up with her tomorrow.


    So she clung to his arm, softly apologizing, "Sorry Ziqi, I didn’t mean that."


    She licked her lips and strained to speak, "The hourly worker has left and there’s no one else at home, won’t youe up and sit for a while?"


    This was a rather passionate invitation, how could Bao Ziqi not understand?
