Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Bao Jingyan’s Sheepskin, Worn Excellently

The scene was momentarily frozen.

It took Bao Ziqi a long while to find his voice again: "Qionglin, how come you’re here?"

Su Qionglin responded with a faint smile: "I just happened to run into your older brother at the hospital, and he invited me to the dance."

Bao Ziqi lifted his eyes, his gaze toward Bao Jingyan deep and inscrutable.

He knew perfectly well how this wolf had convinced Su Qionglin that he was a gentleman of modesty.

Therefore, Bao Ziqi’s voice carried a hint of mockery: "Brother has gone to a lot of trouble."

"As one should." Compared to Bao Ziqi’s indifference, Bao Jingyan was much more composed and courteous.

Even if it was just a guise, he wore it excellently.

He pushed his wheelchair, moving straight towards Bao Ziqi.

"Good, mission accomplished." Bao Jingyan looked around: "Is Ziqi preparing to start the dance?"

Saying this, he cast a glance toward Su Ruanruan, a flicker of amazement in his eyes, but it was swiftly concealed.

At that moment, Su Qionglin took hold of Bao Ziqi’s hand: "Big brother said you have been waiting for me to start the dance. Ziqi, I had no idea you would be so thoughtful towards me."

Her eyes were touched with emotion.

And everyone around was stunned.

What the eldest young master of the Bao Family said didn’t match the facts at all; just moments before, Bao Ziqi was still pressingly pursuing Su Ruanruan!

But, these words were not relayed to Su Qionglin.

Bao Ziqi managed a forced smile: "Let’s start the dance."

He had chosen Su Qionglin in name a long time ago, so even now that she was in a wheelchair, he had to give her this respect.

The pianist, Hao Keke, had been standing idly by, to no avail. Su Ruanruan, afraid of being hounded by Bao Jingyan, simply went back to playing the piano.

The young girl was pure white, graceful, and beautiful.

All eyes, including those of Bao Ziqi and Bao Jingyan, were on Su Ruanruan.

Unbeknownst to Su Qionglin, she wholeheartedly believed she had won—

The one opening the dance tonight was her, Su Qionglin.

Bao Ziqi pushed himself to dance, while Su Ruanruan could only accompany from the side.

Who held more or less importance within the Bao Family was clear at a glance.

The guests entered the center of the stage to dance, and for a while, the hall was abuzz with the fragrance of fabrics and shadows, the atmosphere quite delightful.

Bao Mingyuan was very pleased, full of praise: "Ruanruan’s piano playing surpasses that of the female student. Meiyu, the matriarch is truly adept at judging character."

Mrs. Bao was very unhappy.

Even though Su Qionglin had arrived, Bao Mingyuan only had eyes for Su Ruanruan.

And so Mrs. Bao said: "No matter what, she’s not as good as Qionglin, who has won a modeling award."

Bao Mingyuan remained silent, but thought to himself: Not as good? Not necessarily!

Of course, a large part of his admiration and fondness came from the dress Su Ruanruan was wearing.

In it, she resembled Weilian to a striking degree.

Bao Jingyuan was nearly driven to madness.

Today, she had planned to get back at Su Ruanruan, but little did she expect Su Ruanruan to steal the limelight again.

She watched her second brother’s demeanor, which clearly showed that he had taken a fancy to Su Ruanruan.

How could this be! This absolutely could not be!

Bao Jingyuan approached Hao Keke, grinding her teeth: "You’re just going to watch Su Ruanruan steal the show? Have you forgotten the lengths you’ve gone to rent the haute couture you’re wearing?"

Hao Keke was shocked.

How did Miss Bao know that what she was wearing was haute couture, and that it was rented?

Bao Jingyuan spoke haughtily: "If it wasn’t for me, do you think you could have rented haute couture?"

Even if it was last season’s!

But last season’s was all Hao Keke could hope for.

She looked down and trampled upon Hao Keke without a trace of mind, yet Hao Keke didn’t care in the slightest, as her hatred was solely directed at Su Ruanruan.

It was Su Ruanruan who had stolen her thunder.

Immediately, she tightly hugged Bao Jingyuan’s leg: "I beg Miss Bao to show me a way out."

Bao Jingyuan sneered: "Right now, go and play ’Starry Sky.’ Hao Keke, surely you aren’t so inept that you can’t outplay others with an old piece of music?"
