Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Ruanruan poured a cup of tea for Madam Bo. When she turned around, she saw Madam Bo flipping through the book she had been reading.

“You like medical books.” Madam Bo smiled. “By right, you should get along with Jingyan.”

Su Ruanruan’s heart skipped a beat.She sat down quietly.

Madam Bo took a sip of tea and asked, “Are you used to living here?”

“It’s quite good,” the young lady replied.

Madam Bo looked at her quietly for a moment before saying slowly, “I heard about Jingyuan’s incident at school today.”

Her gaze was like a torch. “You should know the reason she fought with that girl from the Ke family.”

The younger woman did not answer. She thought Madam Bo would already know the answer given her intelligence.

Indeed, Madam Bo continued, “I’m not here to scold you.”

Su Ruanruan looked up.

The older woman held her hand lightly. “I don’t agree with Jingyuan getting together with your second brother.”

Su Ruanruan’s voice was hoarse. “Thank you for being so understanding, Madam.”

“It’s Jingyuan’s fault.” Madam Bo’s voice was gentle. “Ruanruan, you’re a sensible child. Don’t indulge her.”

With this, Su Ruanruan finally understood the mission Madam Bo had given her: to stop Bo Jingyuan’s crush.

She neither agreed nor disagreed.

Madam Bo’s voice was tactful and pleasant. “It’s enough that you’re not helping her because of Ziqi.”

Su Ruanruan suddenly felt humiliated. It turned out that Bo Ziqi was the true reason for Madam Bo’s visit.

Madam Bo patted her hand lightly again. “You’re born beautiful and have already taken away too much of Ziqi’s attention.”

However, Qi Meiyu would never want an orphan daughter to be her daughter-in-law. Marrying Su Ruanruan would not benefit Ziqi at all! Su Qionglin was much stronger than Su Ruanruan!

Madam Bo quickly left.

Su Ruanruan sat there for a long time, feeling a little cold.

The tea on the table had already turned cold.

Only after a long while did she take out a small notebook and flip it open. Between its pages was a small world map.

She circled a certain place on it—England.

After everything was over, she wanted to study there. She wanted to get away from everything, including the Bo family and Bo Jingyan.

After feeling sad for a while, Su Ruanruan started to read the information that Bo Jingyan had given her.

Whenever she saw a problem, she would mark it out with a pen. She stayed up into the night doing so.

As such, it was only natural that she didn’t look good the next morning.

After breakfast, Bo Jingyuan snorted at her. “I’ve already found someone to invite Professor Su to the ball.”

She took out two invitations and flashed them in front of Su Ruanruan, looking very pleased with herself.

“I’ve invited Sister Qionglin. She’ll invite Professor Su for me.”

Su Ruanruan wasn’t angry nor unhappy.

Bo Jingyuan taunted her again. “When Second Brother starts dancing with Sister Qionglin, you won’t have anything to do.”

Su Ruanruan took out a box from her bag and handed it to her.

Bo Jingyuan was furious. She had tried so hard to give Su Ruanruan one last chance, yet the latter didn’t even appreciate it.

She snatched it away fiercely. “I tried to let you keep your pride, but you don’t care for it.”

Su Ruanruan did not argue with her and walked towards the entrance of the villa. When she went out, she happened to see Bo Ziqi driving back.

Bo Ziqi rolled down his car window as they brushed past each other. But Su Ruanruan had already walked over.

Bo Ziqi’s expression darkened.

Bo Jingyuan ran over. “Second Brother.”

She hid the invitation in her hand.

Bo Ziqi looked at his sister. “What are you up to?”

The young girl stammered, “Nothing! “

Her brother reached out his arm.. “What are you hiding behind your back?”
