Out of control and sinking

Chapter 475 Who told you to sit here?

The servants didn't dare to breathe loudly and quickly poured tea for Xu Yun, filling it to seven-tenths full, not a drop more.

Xu Yunduan sipped his tea with great ease.

The housekeeper was surprised to see her like this. If it were in the past, Xu Yun would definitely have scolded him.

Today is a bit unusual.

Perhaps she also realized that Jiang Ruan's position in President Bo's heart was no longer something she could easily shake.

Just then, the sound of high heels came from outside.

Xu Yun and the housekeeper looked over and saw Jiang Ruan return, her face made up with exquisite makeup, her cheeks flushed from the rush.

All the servants of the villa were present.

They stood in a neat row.

Jiang Ruan first exchanged a glance with the housekeeper, and the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had returned.

He walked up to Xu Yun.

Jiang Ruan caught her breath and looked at Xu Yun, who was dressed as a wealthy woman, while Xu Yun looked at her in return.

She said in a gentle and graceful tone, "I was filming a program just now and didn't know you were here."

"Have you been waiting long?"

On the way here, Jiang Ruan had imagined what the atmosphere would be like when the two of them met.

Knowing Xu Yun as she does, if she made her wait for more than an hour, Xu Yun would definitely throw a tantrum when she finally saw her.

As before, he scolded her with great fanfare.

Tell her to stop dreaming of marrying into the Bo family; the Bo family will never accept her as their daughter-in-law.

After all, this wasn't the first or second time that she had been embarrassed in such a way.

But what could Jiang Ruan do? She always liked to keep her work and personal life separate; she wasn't one to make trouble unnecessarily.

Let her be as arrogant as Xu Yun, repay evil with evil, and curse each other like enemies.

Jiang Ruan wasn't incapable of doing it; if you angered her, she would dare to curse back at anyone.

After all, Xu Yun didn't give birth to her. To put it bluntly, without Bo Ye's connection, she's nothing.

But Jiang Ruan was also wondering if there was a roundabout way.

Therefore, Jiang Ruan was somewhat uneasy standing in front of Xu Yun at this moment.

Xu Yun was stunned by her words.

The tone of his voice made it sound as if the two were very familiar with each other.

After a slight pause, Xu Yun glanced at Jiang Ruan and noticed that she had exquisite makeup and her eyebrows were covered with white.

Her eyes and brows were very clear and bright; she was naturally beautiful.

It's not the kind of vulgar beauty, but rather a fresh and refined beauty, a clean and elegant beauty that shines from within.

Even she couldn't help but be moved by that face.

Not to mention men.

Compared to the tomboy who lacked any elegance even in haute couture three years ago, the woman before me is more like a radiant white swan.

Yes, the white swan was raised by Bo Ye himself.

Composing himself, Xu Yun sighed and ordered, "Let them all leave. I have something I want to say to you privately."

Jiang Ruan was a little surprised by her calmness.

I couldn't figure out why she came today.

"it is good."

Jiang Ruan looked at the servants and said, "You may all leave now."

The butler looked over with concern, but Jiang Ruan smiled back to reassure him.

This is her territory, and Xu Yun wouldn't dare do anything to her.

The living room quickly quieted down, leaving only the two of them.

Jiang Ruan was exhausted after filming the variety show for half a day.

Sitting on the sofa opposite Xu Yun, she looked at Xu Yun, hesitated for a few seconds, and then spoke: "Auntie."

"Now you can tell me what you wanted to see me about, right?"

After saying that, Xu Yun ignored her.

Instead, he stared at her intently for several minutes, even after being a wealthy socialite for so many years.

Even sitting in the seat of Mrs. Bo, Xu Yun still exuded an aura of authority.

However, Jiang Ruan was not afraid at all.

Her gaze was unusually calm.

That look in her eyes...it's like...

Xu Yun's lips twitched slightly as she said calmly, "You must be very proud of yourself now. Who in the entire capital doesn't know that Bo Ye proposed to you and has decided that you are the future mistress of the Bo family?"

"I still don't understand what kind of spell you cast on Bo Ye to make him give you his whole heart. Thousands of drones, hundreds of millions spent to propose to you, Jiang Ruan, isn't this something you can brag about for the rest of your life?"

When questioned, Jiang Ruan's gaze remained calm throughout.

Looking at Xu Yun, she asked, "So, are you envious?"

Her voice was very gentle.

The questions were unexpected, straightforward, and sharp.

It pierced Xu Yun's heart like a sword.

Let's directly uncover the meaning behind her words.

Xu Yun even felt suffocated for a moment.

She struggled to catch her breath, her face pale. She raised her hand to her chest, trying to suppress her vulnerability. "Why should I envy you?" Xu Yun sneered. "What do you have to envy? A wild girl from a remote mountain village, no family background, no connections. Your upbringing is worlds apart from mine..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Ruan interrupted, "But besides your background and family connections, what do you have that's better than me?"

Xu Yun choked: "You..."

Jiang Ruan looked at Xu Yun, this elegantly dressed noblewoman, no matter how well she took care of herself.

The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes are still impossible to hide.

This is a sign of aging.

No matter how advanced cosmetic procedures are, they cannot erase all the signs of aging.

“Auntie, we’ve known each other for quite some time now, and I believe you know me well. Yes, I do come from humble beginnings and came from an insignificant place. It’s thanks to Bo Ye’s help over the years that I’ve been able to climb so fast in the entertainment industry.”

"But if I lack ability and am just a pretty face, would Bo Ye support me?"

"Don't underestimate your son."

Jiang Ruan's tone was sarcastic, but she was also very frank.

"If you've come here today still wanting to say these things to me, wanting me to leave Bo Ye, then I'm sorry I won't see you out. Although you are Bo Ye's mother, Auntie, I'd like to ask you this: from the time Bo Ye was born until now, have you ever cooked him a bowl of hangover soup when he was drunk late at night? Have you ever encouraged him when he was at his most vulnerable and lowest point? Have you ever given him a single bit of motherly love?"

"Why are you going to such lengths to break us up? Is it because of my humble background that no matter how hard I work or how successful I am in the entertainment industry, I'm still beneath your notice? Or is it because you're his mother that you want to control his marriage?"

Jiang Ruan looked directly at Xu Yun: "Then let me ask you, as his biological mother, have you ever cared about his feelings all these years?"

Every word she said felt like a knife cutting into Xu Yun's heart.

The cuts made her face pale, and her heart ached with sharp, throbbing pain.

Xu Yun bit her lip tightly, trying to maintain her last shred of dignity: "These are not questions you should be asking me."

"You haven't experienced my pain, how could you understand me? I didn't want it to be like this either."

“Yes,” Jiang Ruan said, “Of course I haven’t experienced your pain, but let me tell you, Bo Ye loves me, and I love him too. He can only be with me and marry me in this life. He can’t even think about any other woman.”

Xu Yun's eyes widened in disbelief; she was incredibly arrogant.

"Don't blame me for being domineering; love is inherently selfish."

Jiang Ruan snorted, showing no sign of weakness whatsoever: "Whoever makes things difficult for me, I will definitely repay them a hundredfold."

"Besides, Auntie, although I don't know all of your experiences, I know pretty much everything."

"Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. Do you really want another woman in this world to have a marriage as troubled as yours?"

Xu Yun was so stunned by her sharp words that he couldn't say a word.

Her face turned red with anger.

Xu Yun gritted her teeth: "Are you this domineering with Bo Ye too? How can he stand you?"

Jiang Ruan tossed her hair, exuding an understated charm, and smiled radiantly: "I'm sorry, Bo Ye loves my domineering and assertive nature the most."

"If you don't believe me, go ask him."

Xu Yun: "..."

Seeing Jiang Ruan's expression, Xu Yun knew that if she continued the conversation, Jiang Ruan would definitely lose again.

Few can out-argue Jiang Ruan.

If she really marries into the family, wouldn't I be suppressed by her for the rest of my life?

Thinking of this, Xu Yun became annoyed again.

Judging from Xu Yun's expression, Jiang Ruan could roughly guess what she was thinking, and she was pretty much right.

She's already said enough, but she can't go too far.

You have to give someone a sweet treat after you slap them.

Jiang Ruan got up and sat down next to Xu Yun.

Her sudden arrival made Xu Yun uncomfortable. She glared at her and asked, "Who told you to sit here?"

Jiang Ruan smiled sweetly, but her words were sharp: "This is my home, of course I can sit wherever I want."

"you……"

Before Xu Yun could speak, Jiang Ruan's gaze suddenly fell on the corner of Xu Yun's eye, and her brows immediately furrowed.

Jiang Ruan exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, Auntie, your crow's feet are so deep! Don't you take care of them?"

Xu Yun cares most about his face.

Hearing this, he immediately became anxious.
She subconsciously raised her hand to touch the corner of her eye: "Is it very heavy? It's been a while since I've had it done."

Jiang Ruan opened the coffee table drawer, took out a mirror and handed it to her: "Look for yourself, it's not so obvious on the left, but it's especially obvious on the right eye."

Xu Yun took it and looked at herself in the mirror.

It really is just as she said.

My mood immediately soured.

Xu Yun said irritably, "I guess I've been too busy lately. I'll get some treatment when I have some free time."

Women love beauty. Although she is indeed getting older, women in this age group are more likely to compare themselves to others.

Seeing her pale face and hearing her words, Jiang Ruan smiled and went along with it in a serious manner: "However, I heard that the doctors in China who do crow's feet wrinkle removal are not very skilled. Many of them have done it wrong. The crow's feet wrinkles were already severe, and they became even more severe not long after the procedure."

Xu Yun asked in surprise, "Really?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

“Auntie, I happen to have a good friend who is an expert in this field. She studied in France and won many international awards.” Jiang Ruan explained in detail: “This expert specializes in treating skin aging in women, such as wrinkles and crow’s feet. She performs the most advanced painless surgery. Many of my celebrity friends have had their procedures done by her. They recovered very well after the procedures, and you can’t see any crow’s feet at all.”

"If you'd like to learn more about this, I can recommend her to you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

After all, how many women in the world can be indifferent to their appearance?

But looking at Jiang Ruan's smiling face...

Xu Yun was unwilling to lower herself to ask for her help.
