Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother

Chapter 259: Chapter 259 Su

The door of the Zen Room was pushed open from the inside.

Madam Bao, leaning on a cane, appeared in front of the two people.

Housekeeper Liu was about to step forward, but seeing someone already ahead of him, he quietly withdrew.

Bao Shaojin came to Madam Bao’s side, firmly supporting her hand, "Grandmother." His voice was cool and clear.

"Looks like the word has gotten out." Madam Bao’s eyes were sharp as she glanced over her grandson.

Madam Bao’s cheekbones were prominent, making her eyes appear deeply sunken, with her bronzed face showing the marks of time, a few uneven wrinkles across her brow, and graying hair at the temples. Yet her steps were steady, giving the impression of a robust physique.

After Madam Bao finished speaking and saw her grandson remain silent, her expression immediately darkened.

With Bao Shaojin’s assistance, the two of them moved to the hall.

Madam Bao sat on the grand master’s chair, with a soft cushion placed on it.

Bao Shaojin took a seat below Madam Bao.

Rarely seeing her eldest grandson, Madam Bao did not beat around the bush and directly asked, "What do you think of the Su Family?"

The underlying meaning was that she had already taken a liking to a girl from the Su Family, but the elder was more concerned about the benefits, hence the question.

"Grandmother actually wants to know if the Meng Family would still support the Su Family." Bao Shaojin pointed out Madam Bao’s true inner thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Madam Bao softly pressed her lips, her expression serene, "Commercial marriages combining strong powers have always been the mission of us noble families. As the eldest grandson of the Bao Family and the future leader of the Bao Corporation, you should prioritize the Bao Corporation. As long as our family and the Meng Family strengthen their relationship, it would be all beneficial and not harmful to Bao Corporation."

The old lady’s words were resolute, so much so that even after she finished speaking, her impassioned voice continued to resonate in the air.

"The Meng Family is the Meng Family, the Su Family is the Su Family, that’s all I have to say." Bao Shaojin had a teacup placed beside his hand, which he gently swirled in his grasp.

At that moment, his eyes were sharp and cold, like a lurking falcon.

His grandson’s simple statement immediately allowed Madam Bao to analyze the deeper meaning within it.

For years, the relationship between the Su Family and the Meng Family has been ambiguous and hard for outsiders to discern. The primary reason being the Meng Family’s leader, Meng Heming, seldom appeared in public, and even regarding his wife, it was only mentioned that she was receiving medical treatment abroad, with no further details provided. Yet, such a mysterious and enigmatic Meng Heming created a business empire on par with Bao Corporation.

With regard to the Meng Family, Madam Bao harbored both apprehension and a desire to forge close ties, and her eldest grandson’s words earlier clearly hinted that the Su Family and the Meng Family were actually drifting apart.

"Alright, since you rarely come back, let’s not discuss these trivial matters, stay for dinner." Madam Bao’s expression slightly softened, and even her tone calmed a bit.

"There are still things at the company, I’ll be leaving first." As he spoke, he had already put down the teacup and stood up.

Seeing this, Madam Bao instantly changed her tone, "When a young girl is hospitalized, you have time to stay day and night at the hospital?" Madam Bao’s mood shifted abruptly, her words filled with anger.

Bao Shaojin’s movements froze, a shadow crossed his face.

His nose was high and straight, his pale lips tightly pressed together forming a slightly indifferent line, exuding an aura of pride and mystery. His lips curled in a barely noticeable cold smirk, conveying a sense of detachment, making his entire face appear aloof and emotionless.

Since the young girl was brought up, Madam Bao definitely had her own considerations in mind!

"Zhenxing, prepare a few dishes that Shaojin likes for tonight." Madam Bao, ignoring her eldest grandson’s icy demeanor, instructed Housekeeper Liu who was waiting at the door.

"Understood." During the brief pause in Housekeeper Liu’s response, he glanced at the Eldest Young Master, and upon seeing the young master’s cold face, Housekeeper Liu silently sighed and reluctantly turned to leave.

After returning to the dormitory, the first thing An Yin did was call Jiang Keke.

Once the call connected, she tightly gripped the phone in one hand, hesitantly speaking, "Keke, what do we do, Bao Shaojin found out, he found out."

After saying this, An Yin hurriedly paced back and forth within the dormitory.

"Yinyin, speak clearly, what exactly happened?" Hearing An Yin’s incoherent words made Jiang Keke immediately anxious.

"Were you and Bao Cheng at the restaurant just now?" An Yin tried to calm her own racing heart as she asked.

"Yes." Jiang Keke quickly replied, "How did you know?"

"I was at the restaurant with Bao Shaojin just now, he saw you and Bao Cheng together, and you were even holding hands." An Yin said anxiously.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, perhaps out of sheer shock.

Staring at the phone screen, which displayed the call in progress, An Yin cautiously murmured, "I think we should explain to Bao Shaojin and tell him that you are Bao Cheng’s real girlfriend."

"No, no way!" Jiang Keke’s voice was sharp.

An Yin quickly moved the phone away from her ear, waiting for the ringing in her ear to subside. She didn’t expect Jiang Keke’s reaction to be so intense.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Clearly panicked too, Jiang Keke kept chanting, utterly at a loss.

"Keke, don’t be afraid." Through the phone, An Yin truly didn’t know how to comfort her friend.

"How can I not be afraid when you know full well acting is my dream? If Bao Cheng’s cousin makes a call to his friend, my opportunity to join the cast will definitely be ruined..." Jiang Keke said, her voice tinged with tears, by the end, she was almost shouting.

"Keke, don’t be like this." An Yin urged, her eyes gradually reddening, tears falling uncontrollably, her expression melancholic and her tightly pressed lips were pale and dry.

Seemingly having thought of something, Jiang Keke adjusted her emotion, adopting a questioning tone, "Why were you and Bao Cheng’s cousin at that restaurant?"

An Yin’s form stiffened, her eyes subtly trembling, her expression slightly somber, with a touch of unshakeable melancholy in her eyes, "I owed Bao Shaojin a favor and wanted to treat him to a meal, and he brought me to that restaurant." An Yin chose her words carefully to highlight the key points.

As time slowly ticked by without a response from the other end, An Yin checked her phone and found the call had been disconnected.

An Yin stood there in a daze. There wasn’t anything inappropriate in what she said just now, was there? Why did Jiang Keke suddenly hang up?

Recalling Jiang Keke’s intense emotions earlier, An Yin worried something might have happened and hastily attempted to call her back, but there was no answer, so she had no choice but to contact Bao Cheng.

But An Yin didn’t have Bao Cheng’s phone number, not even on WeChat. An Yin sniffed, wiped away her tears, and turned to run out of the dormitory.
