Chapter 2126: Eighteenth Coming of Age Ceremony (8)

Duan Xu nodded.

About ten minutes later, Zhao Li, Lu Zishu and Lu Yu came over with the little boy. The little boy changed his clothes and followed Lu Yu closely.

His beautiful eyes moved around the Ruan family and finally stopped at Ruan Jiaojiao. His eyes were filled with joy and a bit of suppressed excitement.

"Grandma Ruan." When she came to the Ruan family before, Lu Zhen just stayed at the door without coming in or calling anyone. Now seeing Ruan Lin, she called out to her apologetically and said, "I'm sorry I didn't have time to say hello to you before."

"It's okay, it's okay. We're all family. Why are you saying this?" Ruan Lin waved her hands, looked at him, and said with a distressed face, "You've grown a lot taller. Why are you so thin? You must have suffered a lot outside. Come and have dinner. I made your favorite dish specially."

Ruan Lin really felt sorry for Lu Zhen. After the Ruan and Lu families became friends, Lu Zhen had such a close relationship with Ruan Jie and Ruan Chi that they could wear the same pants. He would spend all his time at the Ruan family. She watched him grow up, and he was no different from her own grandson. Although he was a little taller, he was dark and thin, and she felt really distressed.

Lu Zhen could naturally feel her distress, smiled and nodded, and pushed the little boy beside him out: "An, call grandma."

"Grandma." The little boy called people, and he looked very well-behaved.

"Hey, dear, are you hungry? See if there is anything you like. If not, grandma will make it for you." Ruan Lin said with a smile.

The little boy may not understand what she meant by this series of words. He just stared at her with his big eyes. As he stared, his eyes fell uncontrollably on Ruan Jiaojiao. His little eyes were shy and a little excited, as if he was forcibly suppressing his emotions.

Duan Xu's eyes swept over the big and small, and finally stopped at the little boy.

Few people can bear Duan Xu's gaze, let alone such a small child. An soon couldn't bear it anymore, and he pulled Lu Zhen's trouser leg with his little hand and hid back.

Ruan Jiaojiao stood beside Duan Xu, stretched out her hand and tugged at his sleeve, and Duan Xu withdrew his probing gaze.

And Lu Zhen seemed to be unaware of all this, and continued to let the little boy call people: "An, call uncle and aunt." He pointed at Duan Xu and Ruan Jiaojiao.

"Uncle." The little boy continued to call obediently.

But when his eyes fell on Ruan Jiaojiao, he seemed a little hesitant, his little mouth moved, and finally he shouted reluctantly: "Aunt."

"Hello, An." Ruan Jiaojiao slightly bent down to greet him.

An looked at her and immediately hid behind shyly, but he couldn't bear to take his eyes off her.

"Okay, okay, stop standing and eat first." Ruan Lin clapped her hands and asked everyone to go to the table.

This meal was unusually silent. Even Lu Zishu couldn't liven up the atmosphere. After the meal, Lu Yu took the little boy away first, Zhao Li followed behind, and Lu Zishu stayed at Ruan's house.

"Why don't you go back?" Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him with disdain.

Lu Zishu took a bite of the apple, pretended not to see Ruan Jiaojiao's disdain, sat down next to her, and discussed with her gossipingly: "Do you think that little boy is really my eldest nephew?"

"Didn't brother Yu tell you when he got home?" Ruan Jiaojiao was also interested in this.
