After Su Qionglin left, Madame Bao helped the old lady come over.
In the dead of night, the old lady was not pleased to be roused and as soon as she arrived, she lashed out: "What matter is worth such a fuss, to the point of causing chaos at this ungodly hour and disturbing the peace of the household?"
She was implicitly criticizing Madame Bao.
Madame Bao, uncharacteristically, kept silent.
Bao Mingyuan, however, felt somewhat weary and also harbored some resentment towards his mother.
If the old lady hadn't brought Ruanruan into the family back then, none of this would've happened.
He looked up at the old lady without saying a word.
After all, they were flesh and blood; that look alone made the old lady's heart sink.
The old lady sat next to her son, and her voice softened considerably: "Mingyuan, what's wrong with you?"
Before Bao Mingyuan could speak, Bao Jingyuan started to chatter away: "What else could be wrong? Su Ruanruan has committed theft."
