Chapter 396 -366: Is the Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Mistress Sabotages Effortlessly 6
Su Zhiruan initially intended to give the two of them enough space to catch up and then secretly take their photos for future use.
However, to her surprise, after she deliberately took a long time to emerge, she found Zhu Manqing and Su Qin waiting at the entrance of the clothing store for her.
When they saw Su Zhiruan dressed in new clothes, they both approached to greet her, and at that moment, Zhu Manqing’s face was all smiles.
Su Zhiruan immediately understood that they probably assumed she was unaware of their affair, which is why they boldly waited for her to come out and even planned to introduce themselves.
As expected.
As Su Zhiruan approached, Su Qin waved at her with a smile, “Come here, Ruanruan, this is your Aunt Zhu, previously a secretary at dad’s company, very outstanding, you two should get acquainted.”
Perhaps only Su Qin could brazenly introduce his mistress right in front of his legitimate daughter.
He mistakenly believed everyone to be kind-hearted. This was primarily because he was certain that Su Zhiruan was unaware that this was his kept mistress, which is why he took the initiative to introduce her.
“Hello, Aunt Zhu.” Su Zhiruan thought a lot internally, but externally she didn’t say a word. Instead, she politely greeted her, pretending to be a naïve and innocent young girl who simply believed that whatever Su Qin said was true.
Indeed, seeing Su Zhiruan like this, Su Qin immediately felt relieved. He trusted his daughter and knew she was not the calculating type.
Moreover, based on the series of pleasantries offered by Su Zhiruan, he felt guilty towards his daughter. Now seeing her getting along well with the woman he loved, he was overjoyed. His excitement clouded his judgment, preventing him from questioning why Su Zhiruan was so composed upon meeting this so-called Aunt Zhu.
Su Qin, naturally, failed to notice the intricate subtleties between the women.
If he had understood them, he wouldn’t be wearing so many smiles on his face.
In the moment when Zhu Manqing and Su Zhiruan shook hands, Zhu Manqing clearly saw the calm and understanding in Su Zhiruan’s eyes. Maybe it was a woman’s sixth sense or her inherent judgment ability, but she almost immediately realized that Su Zhiruan definitely knew about her relationship with her father.
Even though she couldn’t be 100 percent sure, she was 90 percent confident. How could a girl who looked frail yet lived in such a family lack survival skills?
It must be said that Zhu Manqing was wrong in her guess. The original host of this family grew up weak and indecisive, unlike the current Su Zhiruan—they were completely different people.
But neither Su Qin nor Zhu Manqing knew what Su Zhiruan was usually like, so they subconsciously thought this was her true self.
After sizing things up for a while, Zhu Manqing concluded internally that the best breakthrough to climb the ladder might be via Su Zhiruan, and to deal with Su Zhiruan, she couldn’t just rid of her—wooing or bribing her was the better approach.
“Ruanruan, where are you studying now? At such a young age and already so pretty, how will you be when you grow up? Definitely a great beauty!” She was all compliments and platitudes, continuously smiling during the conversation to create an impression of being easy-going and empathetic, “I’ve always heard your dad talking about you, and no one has ever met Miss Su before. Seeing you today, I now know, Ruanruan, what a beautiful and sweet-talking young girl you are!”
“Dad, you always mentioned how caring Aunt Zhu is, and now I see she really is different!” Su Zhiruan replied with a sweet smile, “No wonder she could stay by dad’s side as a secretary. Aunt Zhu, you’re amazing!”
Her words did not contain any sarcasm or mockery.
Just a few subdued words, and Su Qin burst into a broad smile, thinking the two got along very well, clicked immediately, and started to praise each other upon meeting, liking each other. Little did he know, this was a trial between the two of them.

“Ruanruan, you’ve never met your Aunt Manqing before, right? I didn’t expect that your first meeting would go so well, like old friends!” Su Qin laughed as he looked at them, “Ruanruan, your Aunt Manqing is really outstanding. If there’s a chance later, dad will arrange for you two to meet again, and you can ask her some academic questions!”
