Two private rooms, less than 10 ters apart.
Su Ruanruan got a clear look at the lady: her appearance was seventy percent similar to her own, and her attire was even deliberately imitating.
Mrs. Zhou saw her lost in thought and assud she was concerned, attempting to offer so comforting words.
Su Ruanruan, however, gave a faint smile, "I think that girl looks good, lucky for Third Brother."
Mrs. Zhou could only sigh lightly.
Opposite, He Jitang reclined in a soft chair, his gaze fixed intently over here.
Yingzi, with a soft and enchanting body, leaned beside him, feeding him fruit.
He Jitang did not refuse.
He dotes on Yingzi greatly, allowing her to cuddle in his embrace, providing her with enjoynt...
His gaze at Su Ruanruan carried a hint of challenge scarcely perceptible by others.
Perhaps, there was also so unwillingness.
Su Ruanruan was indifferent, she continued to smile and listen to the opera.
Mrs. Zhou could not bear it, she whispered, "With such good conditions as He San Shao, finding a woman to marry should be no difficulty, yet he prefers to toy with girls! He treats that girl clearly as a plaything, not taking her seriously at all!"
She seed sowhat regretful.
Su Ruanruan poured Mrs. Zhou another cup of flower tea, saying, "Since she chose this path, she must be benefiting and finding joy in it."
She did not sympathize, the one truly deserving of pity was soone as unfortunate as Bing’er.
Mrs. Zhou agreed with her.
She patted the back of Su Ruanruan’s hand gently, saying, "You see things clearly."
They were chatting.
The grand young madam suddenly appeared at the door of the private room.
She called out softly, "Mrs. Zhou, Miss Su."
A guest had arrived, and Su Ruanruan couldn’t turn her away, so she smiled gently, "You ca to watch the opera too, grand young madam?"
The grand young madam ca in and sat down.
She was quite patient, listening to the opera for a while before stating her intention.
This ti, she brought out sothing impressive.
An imperial green jade Guanyin!
The grand young madam was very sincere, "Last ti I was wrong, Miss Su is so magnanimous."
Su Ruanruan smiled lightly.
She caressed the jade Guanyin, said, "I lack no famous jewels! What I lack is the grand young madam’s sincerity. Such inconsistency and opportunism make it difficult for to cooperate with you."
Her refusal was firm, "Grand young madam, please take the item away!"
The grand young madam then asked Mrs. Zhou to speak on her behalf.
Mrs. Zhou glanced at Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan sipped her tea, smiling slightly, "Why are you looking at , Sister Zhou! You know my troubles."
Mrs. Zhou was extrely smart.
She inwardly cursed this little rascal!
But facing the grand young madam, she remained gentle, "Ruanruan is worried sick about the charity event! The grand young madam ca with sincerity; I think, instead of gifting superficial jade Guanyin, it’s better to offer Ruanruan so real sincerity."
Su Ruanruan drank tea beside her.
She felt a deep admiration and respect for Mrs. Zhou.
The grand young madam was taken aback.
She never expected Mrs. Zhou to make such a request.
The grand young madam was not foolish: if she took the lead, it would be openly opposing Chen Xishan! She would be publicly siding with Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan’s current strength was not worth the risk.
The grand young madam hesitated—
He Jitang brought Yingzi over.
He glanced at the small table with the jade Guanyin and smiled faintly, "Whose gift is this, so grand?"
Su Ruanruan replied, "The grand young madam just sought us out, for and Sister Zhou to admire!"
She then spoke to the grand young madam, "Such a precious item, please take care of it, grand young madam."
This change of events, the grand young madam wavered again.
She glanced at the beauty beside Third Young Master He.
Clearly, she ca to provoke.
The grand young madam then smiled gently, exchanged a few polite words, and took the item away.
In her heart, she just couldn’t muster the courage to openly confront the second young madam, or perhaps she only wanted to utilize Su Ruanruan while keeping herself clean.
How could Su Ruanruan not know?
She watched the grand young madam leave, then withdrew her gaze, softly calling, "Third Brother."
