Su Ruanruan returned to Bao Mansion, pondering over her investigation today.
Such a delightful night.
Bao Jingyan’s absence always ant sothing was missing.
But she also appreciated his hard work and only sent him a ssage explaining the cause and consequence.
The next morning.
She received a WeChat ssage from Bao Jingyan with a picture.
It was a DNA paternity test report.
Between Su Ruanruan and Bao Jiaren, showing a dical parent-child relationship.
Su Ruanruan’s heart softened.
After a mont, Bao Jingyan sent another ssage: [Miss Su must take responsibility.]
He always knew what she cared about; Su Ruanruan was in a very good mood.

Two days later.
B City Traditional Chinese and Western dicine Association forum.
It had quite the setup because Mr. Gu Dahong, a representative of southern traditional Chinese dicine, had been invited.
Gu Dahong’s status in the industry was high, and his presence at the event instantly drew a large crowd.
Everyone was eager to curry favor.
After all, a re ntion in one of Mr. Gu Dahong’s papers could skyrocket soone’s reputation and status.
But he was conceited.
Unmoved by sycophants, he did not spare them a second look.
He took out the dical Classics and said to the crowd, "I’ve co to B City for Mr. Shi An! Where is Mr. Shi An?"
Mr. Shi An made his dramatic entrance.
Unrecognizable to all.
Gu Dahong thought they were worthless.
He ignored these people.
Naturally, he saw Su Ruanruan.
Huh, this young girl dresses the part, but probably doesn’t have much substance, just exploiting her family’s connections to gain fa and reputation.
Gu Dahong found this irkso.
When he looked at Su Ruanruan, he snorted with disdain.
Su Ruanruan was not upset but nodded and greeted him instead.
Mrs. Ma also arrived.
She said with restrained pride, "In a while, I will show this old man a thing or two! Dazzle his titanium-coated dog’s eyes."
Su Ruanruan gave a slight smile.
Her gaze fell on the opposite side, where Mrs. Yin had also co.
Mrs. Yin had heard early on that Gu Dahong looked down on Su Ruanruan and specially invited the northern school of traditional Chinese dicine practitioner, Lu Qingxuan.
Lu Qingxuan was a generation younger than the old Mr. Gu.
Mrs. Yin hoped he could gain recognition from Mr. Gu.
Too lofty for his own good, Gu Dahong glanced at Lu Qingxuan and asked, "Are you Mr. Shi An?"
Lu Qingxuan introduced himself.
Gu Dahong looked him over and said, "Lu Qingxuan, ah, not too bad! Worthy of an exchange!"
That "not too bad" was the highest of praises coming from Gu Dahong’s mouth.
Lu Qingxuan felt honored.
Gu Dahong then asked Mrs. Yin, "Can you bring Mr. Shi An here?"
Mrs. Yin earnestly replied, "Mr. Shi An is an eminent figure. No one has seen his true face for the ti being! But rest assured, Mr. Gu, he will be attending the forum today, and you’ll have the opportunity to et him when he goes on stage."
Gu Dahong sat down leaning on his cane.
The chattering people in front annoyed him.
These imbeciles, spouting nonsense.
If not for waiting for Mr. Shi An, he wouldn’t bother listening to such drivel.
His arrogance amused Su Ruanruan.
She said to Mrs. Ma, "This gentleman also has quite a personality!"
Mrs. Ma agreed.
Then Mrs. Yin ca over.
Believing she had the upper hand, she said to Su Ruanruan, "Miss Su seems to be having a rough ti lately."
Su Ruanruan, looking at the stage, responded lightly, "Can the lady tell fortunes?"
Mrs. Yin smiled reservedly, "I cannot tell fortunes, but I know that Miss Su’s fortune is not too great."
"Oh?" Su Ruanruan smiled gently.
She said, "I know a little about divination myself! I see that the lady might encounter a bloody disaster soon. For your safety, it’s best to be cautious in your actions!"
Mrs. Yin’s face changed color.
She said sternly, "Is Miss Su cursing ?"
Mrs. Ma laughed coquettishly from the side: "If curses were effective, a person who does such harm like the lady would have been cursed to death long ago."
Mrs. Yin lost the verbal sparring.
She returned to her seat and whispered to Gu Dahong.
Gu Dahong didn’t care about such won’s matters; his eyes were fixed on the stage, eagerly awaiting his Mr. Shi An.
Finally, the host announced.
"Not long ago, a volu of the dical Scripture erged, which I’m sure everyone has read and benefited from. Today, we’re also honored to have Mr. Shi An here to discuss this dical Scripture in person!"
Gu Dahong trembled with excitent.
He stood up and applauded, "Let’s welco Mr. Shi An!"
