Chapter 2136: Eighteenth
Coming of Age Ceremony (18) Duan Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief and sent the food in Yu Rou's trunk to the office building, then took Ruan Jiaojiao home first.
In the villa, Ruan Lin was chatting with Zhao Li, and was surprised to see the two of them coming back. Ruan Lin stood up and asked, "Didn't you call and say you wouldn't be back for dinner tonight?"
Ruan Jiaojiao got out of the car and ran up to hug her, saying pitifully, "Grandma, Jiaojiao wants to eat the pearl powder egg custard you made tonight."
"What's wrong, my dear." Ruan Lin immediately threw away the things in her hand and hugged her distressedly. The pearl powder was amazing. Ruan Jiaojiao used to eat it often, but she hasn't eaten it in recent years.
Ruan Jiaojiao was the best at acting coquettishly. She immediately started talking about the car accident she had today. At last, she nestled in Ruan Lin's arms and whined: "Grandma, I was really scared to death. I thought I would never see you again."
"Pah, pah, pah, please stop being blind. It doesn't matter whether you can see me or not. Grandma is here. You can always see her. Follow grandma and say pah, pah, pah."
Ruan Jiaojiao felt so warm in her heart. She liked the way Ruan Lin loved her. She followed her and said pah, pah, pah obediently. Then, Ruan Lin held her in her arms and comforted her with heartache.
Zhao Li beside her was also distressed, and said: "In the future, if you go out, don't get in the car that is not driven by your family. Rou is so young, it's too unsafe. Otherwise, let your brother arrange a car and a driver for you to pick you up in the future."
"Yes, yes, yes." Ruan Lin hated extravagance the most, but once she met Ruan Jiaojiao, she would lose all her principles.
Ruan Jiaojiao smiled, and she didn't look scared at all. In fact, she was just looking for an opportunity to act coquettishly with her elders. Now that she got the love she wanted, she smiled like a mouse that stole oil, with her eyes narrowed.
"No need, Brother Xu will pick me up no matter how busy he is in the future."
"That's fine." Zhao Li nodded, but immediately said: "If you are too busy, call Lu Zishu and ask him to pick me up. Anyway, he has nothing to do all night."
"Yes, okay, in the future, when Brother Xu is not free, call Lu Zishu. If he doesn't do it, I will call my godmother!"
"You kid, you are still laughing. You almost scared us. Are you hurt?"
"Yes, there is a skin breakage here. Godmother, blow it for me." Ruan Jiaojiao raised her arm in anger.
Zhao Li really blew it at her, and on the other side, Ruan Lin had already called Ruan Jianguo and asked him to buy some pearl powder immediately. She wanted to steam chicken and egg custard for Ruan Jiaojiao in the evening.
Ruan Jiaojiao was completely healed by the busy elders who loved her. Her eyes were full of joy and happiness. Duan
Xu looked at her dotingly from beginning to end, until he felt a gaze that could not be ignored coming from another direction. He immediately turned his head and looked over.
On the second-floor balcony of the Lu family villa, there was a figure who carefully poked his head out from the balcony and looked in Ruan Jiaojiao's direction, with his hand on his chest, as if he was holding something.
Under the balcony, his legs were oozing blood, dripping down, but he seemed to feel no pain, just looking at Ruan Jiaojiao with attachment, even if he felt Duan Xu's aggressive gaze, he did not look away.
