Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife

Chapter 781: Bao Jingyan He’s Still Alive

The next morning, Mrs. Zhou came over by carriage.The maid greeted her and led her into the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom was eerily quiet, deathly still.

Su Ruanruan lay there weeping.

She used to love beauty, but now, disheveled and unbothered by her appearance, she was only consumed by sorrow.

Mrs. Zhou felt heartbroken at the sight and asked the maid, "How long has Miss Su been like this?"

The maid struggled for an answer: "Ever since she woke up, it’s been like this. She won’t eat or talk... and... she has also injured Young Master Ji."

Mrs. Zhou cursed under her breath, "Deserved!"

She asked the maid to leave and sat gently by the bed, softly calling out, "Dear sister, I have brought you some good news."

Su Ruanruan remained silent, continuing her silent weeping.

Mrs. Zhou’s heart ached.

She held Su Ruanruan’s hand: "I am not deceiving you! Bao Jingyan is still alive."

Su Ruanruan showed a reaction.

She quivered her lips and stared at Mrs. Zhou: "What did you say?"

Mrs. Zhou helped her up and carefully combed her hair back, saying very gently, "Bao Jingyan is alive, but he has been gravely injured and will need a long time to recover."

Su Ruanruan’s gaze was frantic, and she repeated insistently, "Sister Zhou, don’t lie to me!" Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveIＦire.net

Mrs. Zhou smiled, "Why would I deceive you into being an accomplice to He Jitang? Rest assured, he is well and recuperating."

Mrs. Zhou lowered her voice: "Don’t be anxious, I spoke with Mr. Zhou last night, and it seems that B City can no longer accommodate He Jitang!"

While speaking, she discreetly took out a photograph from inside her clothing, identical to the one taken by Bao Jingyan that day in Yangcheng.

She handed the photograph to Su Ruanruan to see.

Su Ruanruan was stunned.

Mrs. Zhou, knowing she had scared her, sighed gently, "They’re all pitiable people! And it’s all He Jitang’s evil doings! Ruanruan, I think Mr. Sun Jingan has his own reasons for claiming that Bao Jingyan has lost his memory!"

She held Su Ruanruan’s hand encouragingly: "Don’t worry! Jingyan will surely come looking for you."

Su Ruanruan uttered a soft hum.

She said: "I’m not worried! Even if he truly forgets me and doesn’t come looking for me, I will go looking for him."

Mrs. Zhou, seeing her improved spirit, teased her: "What if he ignores you?"

Su Ruanruan murmured with her eyes downcast: "I’ll win him back whether through pouring him with wine or feeding him medicine! Sister, just you watch."

Mrs. Zhou was completely reassured by her determination.

She added, "Now, you must take good care of yourself! A woman’s appearance is her vitality. Losing your appearance is to lose your spirit!"

Su Ruanruan listened to her advice.

She bathed and changed into a fresh set of clothes.

Mrs. Zhou combed her black hair, praising her: "Ruanruan is truly beautiful."

Su Ruanruan held her hand, pleading for her help to escape.

Mrs. Zhou told her the bitter truth: "He Jitang’s residence is fortified with countless defenses, an ordinary person can’t get out."

Su Ruanruan appeared thoughtful.

After a moment, she made up her mind: "Jingyan will come one day, I’ll wait for him."

She cheerfully ate a bowl of porridge.

...

Inside the study.

He Jitang was sitting, fiddling with the Jadeite ring.

The maid came in, and without even raising his head, he asked lightly, "Mrs. Zhou left?"

The maid replied: "Mrs. Zhou talked with Miss Su behind closed doors for quite some time. When the door opened again, Miss Su was in high spirits, she took a bath, changed her clothes, and even ate."

He Jitang smirked faintly: "I see, you may go now."

The maid left, and after sitting for a little while longer, he walked towards the small courtyard.

Su Ruanruan was trapped, she could only read books in her room, but her mind was preoccupied with Bao Jingyan, unable to focus on reading.

The door creaked.

Su Ruanruan looked up, just in time to see He Jitang closing the door.

She gripped the book in her hands tighter: "Is something the matter, Young Master Ji?"
