Chapter 848: Qin Chao: Returning Home in 3 Days
Bao Jingyan stood in the middle of the courtyard, frowning.He asked Aunt Li about the whole story, then questioned the leaders: "The person has been missing for several months, and you’re only looking now? Whose idea was this? First, investigate him, uncover his past, then see if his three meals a day are the same as yours?"
A large crowd gathered at the entrance.
They stared intently at those few people.
Those people were all close aides of the second young mistress of the Huo family, naturally nervous, but they still insisted: "How could that be? We eat and drink the same as you every day."
Bao Jingyan sneered: "Eat and drink the same, yet look so well-fed?"
He didn’t dwell on this.
He instructed Aunt Li to bring the prepared supper into the main hall.
The aroma of meat wontons wafted far away... For people who haven’t smelled meat in a long time, the scent made them forget about seeking justice.
Bao Jingyan told them: "This is for the few in the main hall. If you want to eat, then become active representatives!"
The leaders could no longer jump around.
Who wouldn’t want to eat meat wontons?
In the main hall.
Su Ruanruan was in a heated discussion with a few others.
Just then, Qin Chao sent a WeChat message: Setting out to return in two days.
Upon reading it, Su Ruanruan smiled slightly.
She said to the woman: "Bing’er is not here right now, so I can’t produce her. Give me three days, and I will definitely bring Bing’er to you all! Whether she stays or leaves then... it’s her own choice."
The woman’s eyes were intense.
She didn’t say anything, but her mind was already wavering.
She actually believed this Miss Su in front of her, having seen Bing’er’s life of wealth... She was sure Bing’er wouldn’t leave!
But the one-armed woman was quite thoughtful.
She pretended: "If Miss Su can’t produce her in three days, we won’t be polite."
She held considerable status among these people.
When she spoke, they all agreed.
Just then, Aunt Li brought in a tray with five bowls of aromatic meat wontons, finely garnished with a layer of green onions.
Su Ruanruan invited them to eat.
They swallowed hard.
But they didn’t dare eat: Whoever ate would betray Mrs. Xishan and never have a good life again!
...
They left, the main hall returning to tranquility.
Aunt Li served another few bowls of wontons.
Bao Jingyan picked up a bowl and smiled: "No need to feel bad. Miss Su already knew they wouldn’t dare eat, but it wasn’t a waste of Aunt Li’s skills. Seeing how others live made them realize they’ve been mistreated by the second young mistress of the Huo family."
Su Ruanruan picked up a magazine to read, keeping Bao Jingyan company.
She said reservedly: "How did you know?"
Bao Jingyan smiled at her, raising an eyebrow: "I told you, I’m like a worm in Miss Su’s belly."
He smiled with a bit of ambiguity, making Su Ruanruan feel both shy and annoyed, and she threw the magazine at him.
Bao Jingyan, good-naturedly, didn’t argue with her.
He asked Yan Kuan to check outside to ensure household safety.
Aunt Li jokingly scolded: "At least you did something right, always just bullying Ruanruan."
After finishing his supper, Bao Jingyan took out a cigarette, smoked it, and then went upstairs.

Huo Mansion.
Small flower hall in the second young mistress of the Huo family’s residence.
A trusted aide whispered a few words to her, then said: "Miss Su said she would produce her in three days."
The second young mistress of the Huo family sneered: "That child was probably taken by her and not treated as a person. Now that we urgently demand her return, she has no choice but to bring her back!"
She cunningly ordered: "Put it in the newspapers! Say she mistreated an innocent girl, pushing her into a fiery pit to do all sorts of evil things! She’s a celebrity in B City, and such news will attract reporters like sharks to blood."
The second young mistress of the Huo family had a malicious gleam in her eyes: "In three days, I want her to be completely ruined."
The trusted aide smiled.
He praised the second young mistress of the Huo family’s ingenuity, saying Miss Su might have good looks but is actually too naive.
This pleased the second young mistress of the Huo family.
She drank a cup of tea, smiling: "She just has a better background! At 25, how much wisdom and strategy can she have?"
