Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

Although three more talented dissenters have joined the fray, everyone's enthusiasm for gossip is only growing stronger.

Even the gossip about Su Chen'an and Su Ruan from before has been dug up again.

Su Ruan, led by Lu Yanci, had already arrived at the Sishui Pavilion.

Lin Xiran, who was on the top floor, was slightly taken aback when she saw that the guest waiting for the Lu family was Su Ruan again.

Didn't Lin Mo say last time that Su Ruan was a fake socialite? That she wasted the Lin family's precious spot? What's going on now?

The Lu family is a top-tier wealthy family in S City, no weaker than the Su family in Yun City.

She also knew that the person hosting the banquet today was none other than Mrs. Lu, the mistress of the Lu family.

Having been invited to banquets twice by the matriarchs of top wealthy families, could Su Ruan be a fake socialite?

Hmph, she knew her judgment could never be wrong.

By the way, Brother Su also instructed that if any girl who showed unusual behavior towards Xiaobai came to Sishui Pavilion again, he should be notified.

Lin Xiran immediately sent the message.

At the same time, he looked worriedly at the restless Xiaobai.

This was Su Ruan's third visit to Louting in Sishui, and she was already quite familiar with the place.

At Madam Lu's thank-you banquet, not only Madam Lu herself was present, but also Lu Shuangshuang.

As soon as the door to the private room opened, Lu Shuangshuang rushed over.

"Sister Ruan Ruan! I'm so glad to see you again!"

Su Ruan carefully helped Lu Shuangshuang up and examined her closely. Her complexion was good; she had recovered quite well.

The sickly pallor that had lingered around her had finally disappeared, replaced by a healthy rosy glow emanating from her skin.

It's not the kind of makeup that's applied.

Her outfit today is much fresher, but her cheeks are still a little thin; she needs to take care of herself.

She then politely greeted Madam Lu, "Hello, Auntie!"

Mrs. Lu smiled and waved to her, "Come on, come and sit down!"

"Shuangshuang, stop bothering your Ruanruan sister."

Madam Lu was very satisfied with Su Ruan no matter what she thought of her.

She had seen many daughters of noble families, and among them were quite outstanding.

But it's really rare to find someone like Su Ruan who is capable, poised, and calm.

As for family background, at their level, it's not so important anymore; marrying a capable woman brings more prosperity to the family.

Of course, it would be even better if the two families were well-matched and their strengths were combined.

"Yanci, Ruanruan is familiar with you, so you're responsible for taking good care of her today, understand?"

Lu Yanci looked at Su Ruan and nodded.

His mother's meaning couldn't be clearer; if it were in the past, he would have turned around and left immediately.

But Suzhou Software is different.

When Lu Yanci did not refuse this time, Lu's mother beamed with joy.

She knew that her son, who always had such high aspirations, would one day suffer a terrible setback.

Isn't this it?

This Su Ruan girl possesses the stunning beauty that men adore, yet she is also well-read and has a cool and aloof demeanor.

Her beauty alone might be considered gaudy, but when combined with her talent and temperament, it becomes unique.

"Ruanruan, your aunt only has these two troublesome children, thank goodness we met you!"

This time, facing the elders' enthusiasm, Su Ruan was noticeably more composed.

"Auntie, you're too kind. I like Shuangshuang very much too."

The lively and innocent Lu Shuangshuang is such a cute girl, it's hard not to like her.

Lu's mother was overjoyed, smiling from ear to ear.

She offered a cup of tea, saying, "I've prepared some tea, but I don't know if you'll like it."

Su Ruan looked over and saw that the teacup contained not the commonly seen Longjing or Maojian tea, but large, unfurled leaves.

Su Ruan smiled slightly, "How did Auntie know I love drinking tea?"

"That's perfect timing!" Mrs. Lu was even happier.

Su Ruan picked up the teacup, smelled the aroma of the tea, and wondered why the smell was so familiar.

Seeing this, Lu's mother quickly asked, "What's wrong? Do you not like the taste?"

Su Ruan shook her head. "No, Auntie, I just feel that this tastes familiar. It's like I drank it at my grandma's next door when I was a child."

Lu's mother's eyes lit up.

This tea comes from that tree; it's exclusively for the leaders.

The Lu family put in a lot of effort to acquire it.

This little girl, Su Ruan, actually drank it?

His eyes lit up with even greater satisfaction.

"Then try it, is it still the same taste?"

Su Ruan took a small sip.

Memories seem to be slowly returning.

She was an elderly woman with gray hair, but she was very energetic.

Her gaze was very kind, and her face wore a gentle smile.

"You're such a smooth talker, always picking out my best stuff!"

A wide smile graced her face as she took a carefree sip of tea, then chuckled, "Delicious!"

Is that the unrestrained and flamboyant little girl her?

Or is he the true owner of this body?

And that old woman, her figure, her voice, it all seemed to be the old man who taught her acupuncture last time.

Could it be Wen Yubai's master who disappeared three years ago?

Wen Yubai once said that the Nine Needles for Rejuvenation only existed in ancient books and had long been lost. Only his master had managed to figure out some of the secrets, but she knew them...

Is it really possible for such a coincidence to happen in this world?

"Soft?"

I heard Madam Lu's voice in my ear.

Su Ruan snapped out of her daze.

Madam Lu smiled and said, "You get along well with my Shuangshuang and work with Yanci, so I will take the liberty of calling you Ruanruan. From now on, you are half a daughter of the Lu family."

Su Ruan was slightly taken aback.

She was just too soft-hearted and reckless to give Lu Shuangshuang acupuncture. Surely Madam Lu wouldn't have to accept her as her daughter?

Su Ruan had no idea what Madam Lu was thinking.

She saw it; her precious son, though silent, glanced at Su Ruan more than ten times.

If she weren't afraid of rushing things and ruining this good match, she would want to settle down with this wonderful daughter-in-law right now.

Lu Yanci was indeed observing Su Ruan.

His movements, expressions, and the speed of his speech—none of them reminded him of the soft, coquettish woman who used to fawn over him.

Is it really possible for someone to have such good acting skills that they are completely different on and off screen?

Madam Lu then took out the gift she had specially prepared for Su Ruan.

"I know you don't lack anything, Ruanruan, but this is just a small token of my appreciation, you must accept it."

Su Ruan took the stack of documents handed to her by Madam Lu with surprise.

A house gift agreement?

Is Mrs. Lu going to give her a house?

Or is it a 200-square-meter flat in downtown J City?

"This gift is far too valuable."

These wealthy families seem to really not value money.

Last time, Madam Su simply felt a connection with her and that it reminded her of her lost daughter, so she gave her a precious bracelet.

She later checked and found that the bracelet had been auctioned for 220 million yuan.

The 200-square-meter flat in front of her is worth at least 4000 million yuan.

She used to think that the 2000 million she had was a lot, but now she realizes that it's not even as valuable as a gift that someone casually pulls out.

"Oh, not at all! Ruanruan, you saved Shuangshuang's life! If it weren't for you, Shuangshuang would still be spending the rest of her life in a hospital bed."

Mrs. Lu genuinely liked Su Ruan and was truly grateful to her.

No one is more qualified to speak about how difficult it is to invite renowned doctors these days than she is.
