<h4>Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Family Gathering, Su Ruanruan No Longer Qualified to Attend</h4>


    Bao Mansion.


    The lights were brilliant, the atmosphere lively.


    The Bao Family gathered together for a meal.


    Bao Mingyuan asked Bao Jingyan, "The New Year is almost here, Jingse should being back soon, right?"


    Bao Jingyan nodded indifferently.


    After that, no one spoke.


    It was still because of that video involving Su Ruanruan and Bao Jingyan.


    It had been truly shocking!


    Especially to Mrs. Bao!


    At this moment, she felt particrly relieved that Mrs. Gu had not agreed that day.


    Otherwise, Ziqi would’ve been utterly cuckolded!


    She asked with feigned casualness, "Why didn’t Ruanruane today?"


    Bao Jingyuan immediately stated, "She still has the face toe? She seduced my older brother, the whole city knows about it."


    She addressed Bao Jingyan, saying, "Big brother, your girlfriend must be angry!"


    Bao Jingyan just smirked with a curve of his lips.


    Xia Minn sitting opposite him thought: Big brother Jingyan really has a way with his girlfriend - even with such a big scandal, she didn’t make a fuss!


    With a mind to please, she said, "When a woman deliberately seduces, men can hardly resist. This can’t be med on Big brother Jingyan."


    Bao Jingyan set down the tall ss in his hand.


    His gaze was deep and inscrutable: "Miss Xia seems quite experienced in such matters?"


    He added, "Perhaps it was with my consent?"


    Xia Minn felt a bit awkward.


    However, she was quite pleased.


    At gatherings like this, Su Ruanruan no longer held the qualifications to attend.


    Mrs. Bao’s attitude towards her had also improved a lot – after the meal, she even pulled her aside to write invitations.


    The Imperial View thank-you dinner!


    Wanting to probe, Xia Minn said, "Should we invite Ruanruan? After all, she is a daughter of the Gu Family, it wouldn’t be good to offend them too much."


    Mrs. Bao gave a cold smile.


    She stated, "She doesn’t deserve the honor! It’s better not to invite her."


    She whispered, "Your uncle said there’s no need to invite her."


    Xia Minn’s heart settled in her stomach.


    She was overjoyed.


    Ha! Su Ruanruan, who was meticulous in everything, still ended up failing due to her impropriety.


    In the future, she would have no ce in high society.


    Xia Minn tasted temporary victory.


    Her demeanor became much more elevated.


    As she walked within the Bao Mansion, she disyed the airs of thedy of the house towards the servants.


    But these servants were contracted by Mr. Mu Jiu’spany.


    Furthermore, they didn’t believe Miss Su would be defeated.


    No one listened to Xia Minn.


    Xia Minn was furious.


    Inwardly she vowed: once she and Bao Ziqi were married, she’d rece all these people!


    Bao Ziqi slowly descended from upstairs.


    He approached Xia Minn.


    "Did you shoot the video?" His voice was cool.


    Xia Minn made no admission.


    Instead, she insinuated that Bao Ziqi felt sorry for Su Ruanruan, and with a sharp tone, suggested that he now had his chance.


    Bao Ziqi watched her in silence for a few seconds, then returned upstairs.


    With a bang, he shut the door.


    Xia Minn didn’t dare to create a scene in the Bao Mansion.


    She ingratiated herself with Mrs. Bao, with the elderly matriarch.


    And also with Bao Mingyuan.


    Although the olddy and Bao Mingyuan always treated her indifferently, not seeing Su Ruanruan at the Bao Mansion for several consecutive days brought her unspeakable joy.


    A woman in power can hardly resist unting it to her rivals.


    Xia Minn was no exception.


    She found Su Ruanruan.


    Su Ruanruan had made an appointment with an old friend from City B.


    Wang Meiru, the ex-wife of Su Minghua.


    She had had someplications during her pregnancy, and Su Ruanruan had helped her find a good doctor.


    Wang Meiru’s husband held a good reputation in City B, and came with his wife to express their gratitude.


    They had just had coffee and left.


    Su Ruanruan was ustomed to staying for a while longer.


    In a nce, she saw Xia Minn sitting down across from her.


    Su Ruanruan smiled lightly.


    "Miss Xia, what can I do for you?"


    Xia Minn looked at Su Ruanruan with envy.


    She thought Su Ruanruan would be like a dog that had lost its family, but instead, she appeared as fine as ever.


    A white Chanel suit with scalloped edging.


    Unique pearl earrings.


    Her features were delicate, her eyes and brows like a painting.
