The voice fell, Bao Jingse walked in from the front hall.
Bao Mingyuan was montarily dazed, then forced a smile after snapping out of it: "Why have you returned so late?"
Bao Jingse glanced at her father, then took the chain from his hand and buckled it onto Su Ruanruan’s slender wrist.
As she buckled it, she said very naturally: "Housekeeper Fu called , saying that the house was interrogating Ruanruan like a criminal, and I felt uneasy and ca over. Indeed, it’s all about this bracelet."
She fastened it and admired it, "I gifted it, doesn’t it match Ruanruan perfectly?"
"You gifted it?" Bao Mingyuan furrowed his brows, still unconvinced.
Bao Jingse nodded: "Yes, I gifted it! I bought it and found it unsuitable for , so I gave it to Ruanruan."
She added purposefully, "Ruanruan is family, Dad, you wouldn’t be begrudging about a bracelet, right?"
Bao Mingyuan choked.
Of course, he minded...
It was worth over a hundred million!
However, he naturally wouldn’t say that, not wanting to undermine his own dignity.
At this mont, Bao Jingyuan complained discontentedly: "If it’s unsuitable, you could have gifted it to , Su Ruanruan is just an outsider."
Bao Jingse smiled faintly: "How is she an outsider? The old lady would be the first to be unhappy with that statent."
After the suspicion earlier, the old lady now felt reassured with Bao Jingse’s explanation.
Even if Jingyan cared about Ruanruan, he wouldn’t act so hastily.
Moreover, Ruanruan didn’t seem like she would like Jingyan’s overbearing nature, she seems so delicate!
Thus, she believed that the bracelet was a gift from Jingse.
Now that Bao Jingse put it this way, she casually said: "How is Ruanruan an outsider? Didn’t you see how anxious Ziqi was just now? I think if Jingse hadn’t arrived in ti, Ziqi might have played the hero to save her."
The old lady joked, laughing to herself.
She glanced at her son, implying that there was no harm done, so as not to frighten the children.
With things having co this far, Bao Mingyuan was also unable to say much.
But did he believe it?
Not at all!
As Jingse’s father, it wasn’t appropriate for him to say much, but he gave Qi iyu a aningful look.
Mrs. Bao, who was on the sa side as him, also hoped Su Ruanruan would leave the Bao Family.
Given how her son acted earlier, it was clear he was interested in Su Ruanruan.
Thus, even at the risk of offending the old lady, Mrs. Bao had to speak up: "Jingse, this matter is serious."
She smiled gently: "Could you present so proof? Otherwise, I’m afraid Ruanruan can’t fully clear her suspicion."
Bao Jingse had always disliked her stepmother, she sneered: "Why does aunt’s words make feel like I have no say in the Bao Family?"
Mrs. Bao was rebuffed, her face stiffened.
"Jingse, your aunt rely asked in passing, why are you so angry?" Bao Mingyuan tried to smooth things over.
He then turned the conversation, continuing to press on: "However, your aunt isn’t wrong! This matter concerns the relationship between Ziqi and Ruanruan."
In his words, he unexpectedly brushed Su Qionglin aside.
Bao Jingse’s smile grew colder: "Are you essentially asking for a receipt?"
She turned sideways: "Housekeeper Fu!"
Housekeeper Fu, who had co with Bao Jingyan’s mother as part of her dowry, erged from nowhere, her posture demure: "Young mistress."
Seeing Housekeeper Fu always pained Bao Mingyuan as it reminded him of his late wife.
Bao Jingse softly ordered: "Take a trip to my secretary and bring the receipt over, otherwise, so people won’t be at ease."
Housekeeper Fu rubbed her hands on her clothes: "Alright, I’ll go imdiately."
She was a clever person, having been the one to send the ssage earlier.
She also understood that the bracelet on Miss Su’s wrist was gifted by young master Jingyan, and Miss Jingse was rely covering up.
