h4Chapter 116: Chapter 106: Su Wan... Su Wan Is Back/h4

    The next day, Jiang Ruan slept until the afternoon out of exhaustion.

    There wasn’t much work today, but Sister Qin asked her to prepare for the press conference the day after tomorrow.

    The controversy over her background had been spiraling out of control; whether she could turn the tide depended on the conference.

    Rong Cheng and Li Xin wanted to bring her down.

    She was determined not to let them have their way.

    Taking a sheet of paper, Jiang Ruan sat at the table, clear-headed yet conflicted. She bit her lip and began to write down all the unfair treatment she had experienced since childhood.

    Maybe it was because her childhood was too tough.

    As she wrote, she unexpectedly couldn’t hold back her tears.

    Tears pattered down.

    But soon, Jiang Ruan wiped them away.

    The past was bitter, but she had persevered through it all.

    She wasn’t Chen Miao; she was Jiang Ruan.

    In the future, she would only be stronger and stronger.

    A total of four sheets of paper, a few thousand words of a draft.

    Jiang Ruan spent the entire afternoon writing.

    When she finished thest sentence, she finally let out a sigh of relief,posed herself, and sent it to Sister Qin.

    In less than ten minutes, she received Sister Qin’s reply.

    "Very good, baby. It made me want to cry. Hug you."

    "Sending you a big red envelope. Buy whatever you want."

    And then, there was a direct transfer of a hundred thousand.

    Looking at the red envelope, Jiang Ruan was crying andughing at the same time.

    But only a fool would refuse money.

    Plus, she had been friends with Sister Qin for a long time.

    So she replied without hesitation, including a smiling emoji.

    "Thank you, Sister Qin."

    Sister Qin replied, "Even if the whole world abandons you, Sister Qin will not."

    "I will always be your support."

    Jiang Ruan felt a warm sensation in her heart as she looked at the message.

    After chatting for a while, her attention was suddenly caught by a breaking news notification on her phone screen.

    "Prince of Beijing Bao Ye’s Mother Returns, Mr. Bao Hosts a Lavish Wee Banquet Tonight."

    Jiang Ruan’s fingertips trembled slightly as she opened the news.

    Photos of a luxurious hotel lobby and a few of Xu Yun with Bao Ye, but they seemed to be from before.

    Looking at the middle-aged woman’s luxurious and elegant appearance, exuding the image of a nobledy, she seemed like a different person from the one who had insulted her so harshly.

    Jiang Ruan’s lips curled into a sneer.

    She didn’t want to look any longer, but before exiting, her gaze lingered a few more seconds on Bao Ye’s face.

    Perhaps because she had seen his affectionate side, looking at the news photos, he seemed even colder and more unreachable.

    Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but feel a sense of distance in her heart.

    But she quickly dispelled it.

    Don’t overthink, Jiang Ruan.

    You’ve only been apart for a few hours.

    Besides, it was meant to be an undercover rtionship.

    He’s already been good enough to you.

    What more could you possibly ask for?

    Jiang Ruan gave a bitter smile. Yes, what more could she expect, dream of the impossible, hoping that Bao Ye would love her?

    Someone like Bao Ye, who doesn’t even love himself.

    Let alone her.

    The more Jiang Ruan thought about it, the more stifling it felt, so she simply turned off her phone.

    Completely shutting out the news from outside.

    Out of sight, out of mind.

    At eleven o’clock at night, Bao Ye still hadn’t returned.

    Jiang Ruany on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

    Finally, she couldn’t resist opening her phone.

    As soon as she opened it, overwhelming headlines like tidal waves rushed in, and the news content almost suffocated her.

    "Breaking! Bao Group’s CEO Bao Ye and First Love Dance Passionately at G Opening Dance!"

    "Shocking! Actress Su Wan Suddenly Arrives at Xu Yun’s Wee Banquet, Suspected of Reuniting with Bao Ye."

    "Actress Su Wan and Bao Ye’s Intimate Dance, Rumored Secret Engagement!"

    The headlines on all major websites were all upied by videos and photos of Bao Ye and Su Wan.

    Looking at the titles, Jiang Ruan’s fingers holding the phone couldn’t help but tremble.

    Su Wan... Su Wan hase back.
