Chapter 77: Chapter 68: I Am the Supreme Head of the Bao Family
Speaking of Jiang Ruan, Li Xin’s eyes were full of hatred: "But didn’t you say she has a powerful backer? Someone is supporting her, what can we do to her?"
Rong Cheng sneered: "So what if she has a backer? I don’t believe she can escape unharmed every time."
He waved Li Xin over: "Come here, I have an idea."
Li Xin endured the pain and crawled over.
After listening to Rong Cheng’s words, Li Xin’s eyes widened: "Really?"
"How did you find out?"
Rong Cheng said: "Since you mentioned Jiang Ruan last time, I had someone investigate her family and background. That’s when we found out she has an aunt who’s a compulsive gambler."
"I’ve already sent someone to bring her here. She should arrive by tonight, and isn’t tomorrow your press conference? She can help liven things up."
"This will also let Jiang Ruan’s fans know what kind of family background she really comes from."
"Someone from a poor place like Jiang City, what can they rely on besides their body to climb up for resources."
"Women like her who use improper means to climb up should be spurned by everyone!"
Rong Cheng said coldly, his tone full of insults.
Clearly placing all the blame for this hatred on Jiang Ruan.
But hearing his words, Li Xin’s expression instantly turned ugly: "What about me?"
She asked Rong Cheng, "What do you mean by that? Oh, Rong Cheng, you call me your baby every day, but that’s what you really think of me? Do you think I’m shameless too?"
"No." Rong Cheng said: "I’m talking about Jiang Ruan, how could she compare to you."
"You’re my treasure." Rong Cheng hugged her slender waist, looking at the young familiar face in front of him, as if it was his wife when she was young.
Rong Cheng leaned over: "Let hubby give you a kiss."
Then he kissed Li Xin’s red lips.
Li Xin couldn’t avoid it even if she tried.
Rong Cheng sighed: "Being with you makes me feel twenty years younger instantly, like going back to the past. You’re not some shameless woman, you’re my sweet treasure."
When a man speaks sweetly, it is always particularly moving,
but Li Xin didn’t believe a word of it.
She leaned into Rong Cheng’s arms, pressing against his chest: "Brother Rong, I love you so much too."
"You need to get better soon. Then I’ll take good care of you."
Her sweet voice made even Li Xin herself feel nauseous.
But to Rong Cheng’s ears, it was exceptionally pleasing. He hooked her chin and smiled widely: "Little enchantress, don’t beg for mercy later."
"Brother Rong will definitely make you the happiest woman in the world."
Li Xin giggled, then switched to another topic: "Tomorrow is the press conference, and I’ve got my eyes on a purse these past two days. Just in time to carry it tomorrow. Brother Rong, buy it for me."
Rong Cheng’s ears were tingling from what he heard.
He immediately called the finance department to transfer two million to her.
Li Xin was instantly happy and didn’t care about anything else; she smacked a kiss on his face.
"After all, Brother Rong loves me the most."
After being affectionate with him for a while, Li Xin found an excuse to leave and let the nurse take care of him.
As soon as she left the ward, Li Xin rushed into the bathroom and started rinsing her mouth under the faucet.
She was so disgusted inside she could die.
After rinsing her mouth several times, she finally left and went straight to SKP to buy the purse.

Bao Group.
Bao Ye was watching the news and happened to see a news report about Jiang Ruan becoming the global spokesperson for Bao Group. A ripple passed through the dark eyes of the man.
At that moment, the phone rang.
Bao Ye picked up the phone, and his face turned cold when he saw the caller’s number.
When Chen Nan came in, Bao Ye was just answering the phone, so Chen Nan sensibly placed the mobile file next to him.
"Hello." The man’s cool voice sounded, as calm as if there was no ripple at all.
As if he were talking to someone he didn’t know well.
The next second, a woman’s sharp reprimand came through his ear: "Are you crazy?"
Bao Ye said calmly: "I’m fine."
"Mother, what do you mean by that?"
Xu Yun said: "Don’t pretend to be stupid with me. Whatever is going on between you and that woman in private is none of my business, but you actually made her the spokesperson for Bao Group? Are you mad?"
"What kind of magic potion did that woman give you to make such a decision?"
"She’s a country bumpkin with no family or background, why should she be Bao Group’s spokesperson? Is she worthy? How will people in Beijing view our Bao Group once this gets out?"
An unrelenting torrent of questions, unreserved.
Xu Yun sat on a golden sandalwood chair in the villa, so angry that she was fuming.
Earlier, when Wan’er asked her, she didn’t believe it and thought it was a rumor.
Wan’er told her to check Weibo.
To her surprise, Bao Group had already officially announced it!
Such a big decision, and Bao Ye didn’t discuss it with her at all, directly putting that woman in the spotlight.
How dare she be Bao Group’s spokesperson!
Hearing her storm of questions, Bao Ye’s expression didn’t change at all, and he held the phone in silence for a moment.
His dark eyes showed no ripple, and his voice was low-pitched: "Jiang Ruan is excellent."
"I say she’s worthy, so she is."
"Mother, don’t forget that Bao Group is mine, and I am the highest authority of Bao Group."
The cold magnetic voice directly reminded her.
He is the one in power of Bao Group.
Whatever decision he makes, she is not qualified to interfere.
His orders, everyone can only execute.
Including her.
Xu Yun listened, sneering repeatedly in anger: "Fine, good."
"You truly are Bao Wu’s own son."
Xu Yun gritted her teeth and cursed: "Just like him, heartless."
"You’re saying I have no right to interfere? Well, I won’t then. I want to see how Jiang Ruan, that country bumpkin, qualifies to be Bao Group’s spokesperson!"
"A woman who climbed her way to the top by sleeping around, shameless! You’re already so mesmerized by her, giving her so many resources, and even letting her be the spokesperson. What next, planning to give her the entire Bao Group?"
Xu Yun was completely irrational with anger.
A lady from an eminent family, hurling insults with zero elegance.
Bao Ye knew that she had been forced into this over the years; she wasn’t like this when she was young.
But he couldn’t blame anyone but her own temperament.
She drove herself into this state.
Xu Yun’s words were like thorns stabbing into Bao Ye’s heart, but for him, he was already used to it.
He just chuckled lightly, his tone nonchalant: "If she wants it, it’s not impossible."
The man’s angular face was icy, with laziness and defiance at the ends of his eyes, leaning back in the office chair with a sarcastic curl on his lips.
"Mother’s suggestion is not bad."
"I’ll relay it to her when I get the chance, so I can retire early too."
Meaning that he didn’t mind at all if Jiang Ruan took Bao Group as a gift.
Bao Group meant nothing to him.
"You!" Xu Yun was apoplectic: "Crazy, you’re completely crazy."
"What kind of magic does that woman have to charm you like this!"
"I warn you, Bao Ye, unless I’m dead, Jiang Ruan will never set foot in the Bao family!"
"Apart from Wan’er, I absolutely won’t acknowledge any woman as the daughter-in-law of the Bao family!"
