Su Ruanruan sat down and smiled. “It’s quite good. Thank you, Uncle.”
Bo Mingyuan asked a few more questions before saying, “The Old Madam wants to officially enter your name into our family’s genealogy book in three days’ time. What do you think about that?”
Upon hearing this, Su Ruanruan’s brows twitched, but she lowered her eyes and said softly, “I’ll do as you say.”
Bo Mingyuan heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t expect this child to be so obedient.
Madam Bo, however, disagreed.
After entering the family register, Su Ruanruan would truly become part of the Bo family. That meant that the Old Madam would definitely leave a portion of the family fortune to this girl. How could she allow an outsider to take away Ziqi’s share?
She was about to say something when a flurry of footsteps came from upstairs.
Bo Jingyuan rushed down the stairs with her hair in a mess. She stomped up to Su Ruanruan and slapped her without any explanation.
Su Ruanruan’s skin was delicate, and five distinct finger marks immediately appeared on her face.
“Jingyuan!” Bo Mingyuan was furious. He reprimanded his younger daughter, “There must be a limit to your willfulness! Apologize to Ruanruan.”
Even Madam Bo was unhappy. ‘Jingyuan is too impulsive!’
Bo Jingyuan raised her head, her eyes filled with tears. “Dad, I hit her because she was the one who drugged me last night.”
Bo Mingyuan was bewildered. He stared at his younger daughter for a long time.
Bo Jingyuan was resolute!
Bo Mingyuan turned to Su Ruanruan with a questioning gaze.
It was clear who was more important to him.
Su Ruanruan sneered in her heart.
She lowered her eyes and said softly, “If you don’t believe me, I can go back to the Su family, Uncle.”
Bo Mingyuan hesitated. The Old Madam would be the first to disagree about letting Su Ruanruan leave. However, he also had some doubts about letting the girl stay.
Why would his daughter drink that kind of thing for no reason?
Just as Bo Mingyuan was hesitating, Madam Bo said, “The servants at home are quite smart, so they didn’t wash Jingyuan’s cup. If we investigate, we will definitely find some clues.”
When Madam Bo said this, Bo Jingyuan immediately shouted, “That’s right, that’s right. Dad, you must help me.”
She tugged on her father’s arm with a pitiful look.
Bo Mingyuan’s heart softened and he looked at Su Ruanruan awkwardly. The latter couldn’t look any more awkward.
Seeing her expression, Bo Mingyuan made up his mind. “Bring the glass over.”
Bo Jingyuan looked at the other girl smugly. ‘Mom’s so smart! As long as Su Ruanruan’s fingerprints are on the cup, not only will she have to scram from our family, but her reputation will also be ruined!’
Then, the maid carefully took the glass and handed it to Bo Mingyuan.
Bo Mingyuan carefully examined the cup and found a few fingerprints.
Everyone held their breaths.
Bo Jingyuan couldn’t help but feel that victory was within her grasp. Even Madam Bo also began to suspect that it had something to do with Su Ruanruan.
The servants, on the other hand, were worried that Miss Su would be kicked out of the house soon.
Yet, the only fingerprints found were the servant’s and Bo Jingyuan’s! It had nothing to do with Su Ruanruan!
Madam Bo didn’t look happy, and Bo Jingyuan was dumbfounded. “How is that possible? That’s impossible!”
Before she could say anything else, Su Ruanruan asked softly, “Jingyuan, why did you only suspect this glass of wine and not anything else? Did you already know that there was something wrong with the wine?”
Bo Jingyuan’s face was ashen and she could not say a word.
Of course, that caused her father to come to a realization, and he flared up immediately. “Jingyuan! You’re too much!”
He raised his hand and was about to teach his daughter a lesson when his wife stepped in and begged, “Jingyuan is still young and ignorant. Please let her off this time.”
Bo Mingyuan was still furious. “You pamper her too much. If she can do such a harmful thing, do you think there’s anything she wouldn’t dare to do in the future?”
Seeing that she could not stop her husband, Madam Bo glared at Su Ruanruan bitterly.
