Chapter 432: Chapter 430: Third Sister-in-law Ruanruan 6_1

Ruan Ruanruan’s face turned red in an instant, "Xiaxia, don’t call me that, I, I am not yet officially your sister-in-law!"

"Isn’t it just a month away? I’m just getting used to calling you that now, is that not okay?" Xia Ningxing teasingly blinked, hands on her hips, confidently retorting.

Xia Ningxing’s wit was indeed formidable; how could little Ruan Ruanruan outtalk her?

"Okay, okay, as you wish," Ruan Ruanruan said bashfully and helplessly, waving her hand.

Not teasing her anymore, Xia Ningxing picked up the teacup from the table and poured her a cup of tea, "Here, have a sip to warm your stomach."

"Thank you, Xiaxia." Ruan Ruanruan took a sip of the tea, then remembered the serious matter at hand, "Oh right, Xiaxia, I came to tell you something. I was on the phone with your brother earlier, and then he asked me to go shopping with him tomorrow to pick out our wedding jewelry."

While speaking, Ruan Ruanruan’s cheeks blushed uncontrollably.

This delicate and charming appearance was simply too endearing.

"I was wondering if you have time to accompany me? You are my best friend, my only friend; on such a day, I would really love for you to be with me," she said.

After speaking, Ruan Ruanruan glanced at the pile of documents on her desk and quickly added, "Of course, if you’re busy with work, you should prioritize that, it’s fine."

"What work do I have that’s more important than my future sister-in-law’s affair!" Xia Ningxing immediately agreed, smiling, "Wait for tomorrow; my brother and I will come over to pick you up, and we’ll meet as planned."

"Xiaxia! It’s really great to have a friend like you!" Ruan Ruanruan bit her lip and couldn’t resist giving her a hug.

How many friends are willing to put aside their work to be with you!

Xia Ningxing gently patted her back, "We’re about to be one family now; there’s no need to be so formal."

"Yeah!" Ruan Ruanruan nodded like a pecking chick.

That evening, upon hearing about buying wedding jewelry, Mrs. Xia specifically instructed:

"Third son, don’t be stingy. When the time comes, buy something thick and big."

Many mothers-in-law hope to save money when welcoming a bride, but Mrs. Xia was just the opposite.

She was truly a most excellent mother-in-law!

The third brother nodded, "Don’t worry, Mom, I got it."

Ruan Ruanruan was the woman of his dreams; how could he possibly slight her!

Xia Ningxing was flattering on the side, "My mom really is the finest mother-in-law! It’s the greatest fortune of their lives for the sisters-in-law to be your daughters-in-law!"

Mrs. Xia clearly enjoyed being flattered by Xia Ningxing and gently stroked her hair, "Don’t worry, Mrs. Lu is also a good mother-in-law, and she will definitely not mistreat you when the time comes."

"Absolutely!" Speaking of this, Xia Ningxing nodded repeatedly.

The boss’s mother was also a good mother-in-law.

Early the next day, the third brother took Xia Ningxing to the Ruan Family’s home.

Mr. Ruan immediately extended a warm invitation to both, "Mr. Xia, Miss Xia, come in, please come in."

"Uncle, you’re too kind," said the third brother with a nod, leading Xia Ningxing into the Ruan Family’s living room.

When they got inside, Ruan Ruanruan had just finished getting ready. With a joyful smile on her fair face, she ran toward them, "Changsan!"

"Xiaxia!"

She smiled as she called out to the two of them and then said, "I’m already packed up, let’s set off now."

Third Brother nodded, his affectionate grip on her hand: "Okay."

After he spoke, he turned to say farewell to Mr. Ruan and Mrs. Ruan.

Mrs. Ruan looked at the flourishing and handsome Third Brother, then at Ruan Ruanruan, and couldn’t help but grit her teeth.

How could that dead girl Ruanruan be worthy of such a man!

"Wait a minute!" Just as Xia Ningxing and the others turned to leave, a soft voice called from upstairs.

Xia Ningxing and her companions instinctively looked back, only to see a delicate lady in a white chiffon dress and beige trench coat elegantly descending the stairs.

Her walk was exceedingly graceful, her demeanor was refined; it was clear she had grown up pampered and privileged.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but narrow her eyes—if she wasn’t mistaken, this must be Ruan Ruanruan’s sister, right?

But wasn’t she supposed to have eloped with someone?

Xia Ningxing could guess who he was, but Third Brother’s mind wasn’t as quick, and he couldn’t help but look bewildered.

"Who is this?" Third Brother looked puzzled as he glanced at Ruan Ruanruan, completely unaware of the existence of such a person in her family.

"She is..." Ruan Ruanruan opened her mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Mrs. Ruan.

Mrs. Ruan enthusiastically took Third Brother by the arm and introduced him: "Changsan, this is my eldest daughter, a Master’s degree graduate from Capital University. She’s also proficient in playing instruments, singing, and dancing..."

To help her eldest daughter, Mrs. Ruan kept praising her in front of Third Brother, boosting her appeal.

Ruan Bailian’s cheeks flushed with shyness as she glanced up at Third Brother and then sparks seemed to light up in her eyes.

He was too handsome!

She felt like she was already falling in love with him!

If she had known he was this good-looking, why would she have eloped with that poor and smelly boy!

She must marry him!

As for Ruan Ruanruan, what was she but nothing!

Ruan Bailian lowered her gaze, revealing a smile full of determination.

Mrs. Ruan kept on chattering: "Changsan, this here is my eldest daughter’s study; inside are all the awards and trophies she has won over the years. Come on, let me take you inside for a look."

With that, Mrs. Ruan was about to pull Third Brother into the room.

Seeing this, Ruan Bailian shyly raised her delicate, fair fingers, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear: "Mom, there’s no need to make Changsan Brother look. These awards are easily won; they’re no big deal."

"You’re just being too modest. If they were really that easy to get, why hasn’t your sister Ruanruan won a single one from childhood to now?" Mrs. Ruan couldn’t help but pat her hand lovingly, without forgetting to put down Ruan Ruanruan thoroughly.

"Mom, if I can’t win those awards, isn’t it because you won’t even let me learn them!? If I’m not allowed to learn, how can I win anything?"

Ruan Ruanruan blinked, stating the blunt truth.

From childhood to now, her mother’s heart had always favored her elder sister; whatever her elder sister wanted to do was fine, but what she wanted was never allowed.

But Ruan Ruanruan, by nature, was rather thick-skinned, as if she lacked some emotional nerves compared to others; she didn’t particularly care about fairness or favoritism, otherwise, she wouldn’t have developed such a foolish and naive character.

Mrs. Ruan didn’t expect to be publicly contradicted by her own daughter, especially in front of Third Brother, revealing her shortcomings. She glared at her irritably: "You ungrateful girl, what do you mean I didn’t let you learn? You’ve been pampered since childhood; how could you bear such hardships? It’s because I cared about you that I didn’t let you learn!"
