Su Ruanruan could hardly bear to leave the child behind.
She raised her glass.
She toasted Mr. and Mrs. Zhao and Auntie Li.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao and Auntie Li were distraught.
Su Ruanruan said, "I don't trust many people! Please take good care of Little Jiaren for me."
Mrs. Zhao had received her favors before.
They nearly fell short when buying a house.
It was Miss Su who secretly gave them money to help out.
When their son got married, Miss Su gave them a generous gift.
It allowed them to save face in front of their in-laws.
Miss Su treated them well, respected them as individuals.
Just as it was with Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, Auntie Li felt even more so.
They accepted the toast.
Mrs. Zhao added, "Young Master Jingyan also has important matters to attend to; although we might not be of great help, we do have experience in taking care of babies."
Su Ruanruan felt relieved.
Tonight was New Year's Eve.
She stayed with Little Jiaren, seeing her through another year.
