Chapter 331: Chapter 231: Men Work Outside, Women Manage the Home
It was dawning faintly.
Su Ruanruan got up.
She and Bao Jingyan stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
She was tying his necktie.
Once done, she looked up and said gently, "Let’s split up! You secure Jingse’s position at Emperor Views, and I’ll take care of her illness."
She was gentle and wise.
A lump formed in Bao Jingyan’s throat, he hummed in agreement.
Ultimately unable to part with her, he lowered his head and lightly pecked her lips.
"I’ll go to the small courtyard first," Su Ruanruan spoke softly, "Now is not a good time to go public."
Bao Jingyan let go of her.
Su Ruanruan quietly returned to the small courtyard, while Bao Jingyan went to check on Jingse’s bedroom.
About an hour later,
There was a stir in the Bao Family.
Su Ruanruan helped the old lady to the main house, the old lady was crying sadly.
"How could Jingse be so thoughtless! It has been so long already."
She harshly retorted at her son: "If it weren’t for you driving her mother to her death, how could she end up with no one to confide in?"
Bao Mingyuan stood in the corridor in his thin clothes.
He glanced at Su Ruanruan and guessed that she had slipped into the small courtyard early in the morning.
Su Ruanruan consoled the old lady, "Medical science is advanced now; there will be a way."
The old lady immediately leaned on her shoulder, "I believe you, Ruanruan! I’m entrusting Jingse to you! No need for her black-hearted father to interfere."
Bao Mingyuan’s heart skipped a beat.
The grandmother’s words were not ordinary.
But Su Ruanruan, anxious in her heart, hadn’t noticed.
Just then, Bao Jingyan came out of the bedroom.
He said, "She’s awake, but not in a good mood!"
He and Su Ruanruan exchanged glances, and then he calmly said, "Dad will stay with Jingse, I must go to the company to stabilize! Also, have Doctor Tang send over the medical records as soon as possible." noveldrama
Bao Mingyuan understood immediately that this was the result of the young couple’s discussion.
Man handling external affairs, woman managing internal ones.
Great!
Bao Mingyuan was heartened, patting Bao Jingyan on the shoulder, saying, "Jingse is not only your sister, but she is also my daughter. If anyone dares gossip, let them come to me!"
Bao Jingyan nodded and went directly to the company.
Once he left, Bao Mingyuan said to Su Ruanruan: "Your aunt has been having headaches these days, the old lady is unsettled, you take charge of the house affairs for now."
Su Ruanruan gave a light hum.
At this time, Doctor Tang’s assistant arrived.
Carrying a small secure box, handed it to Bao Mingyuan.
Such caution showed the protection accorded to Jingse.
Bao Mingyuan handed it over to Su Ruanruan, his voice hoarse and unsteady: "If there’s anything unclear, call Doctor Tang directly! He is an old friend of mine and has watched Jingse grow up."
Su Ruanruan nodded.
Following that, everyone took to their roles.
Bao Mingyuan took care of Bao Jingse.
Su Ruanruan returned to the small courtyard to research those medical records and medications...
The atmosphere at the Bao Family was tense and servants gossiped quietly about Miss Jingse’s illness.
This was instigated by Mrs. Bao.
She intended to tarnish Bao Jingse, ensuring she could no longer be Bao Jingyan’s right-hand person.
In the small courtyard, Su Ruanruan also heard disgraceful remarks.
She stepped out of the courtyard and called for Housekeeper Wang.
Housekeeper Wang said softly, "There are a total of 42 servants in the house, most of them side with young master Jingyan, but there are still a dozen or so from that other side."
He also said, "In matters of the household, as a man, young master Jingyan is awkward to interfere outright, and Miss Jingse, due to her youth... so..."
Su Ruanruan nodded: "I understand."
She instructed Housekeeper Wang, "Please gather all those working in the house for me, including gardeners, drivers, kitchen staff, and have them wait for me in the small courtyard."
After a moment’s thought, she added: "And please let Uncle Bao know, tell him I need to borrow his lawyer for a bit."
