Chapter 923: A Trip to Beidu (8)

After school…it wasn’t Xu Xu who accompanied her, but Ruan Jianguo who came to pick her up.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s life became empty, and she felt extremely bored every day.

Meanwhile, at the same time Xu Xu arrived in Beidu, the man who had gone to Xiahe Village to find him also returned home.

He was a person with extreme mysophobia, and in the past, the first thing he did when he got home was to take a shower, but today he didn’t do that. Instead, he walked into the study room and knocked on the door before entering.

The old man in the study was playing chess with someone. When he saw the man come in, the man immediately stood up and said, "Second Young Master."

The man called Second Young Master didn't even look at him, but walked straight to the old man, lowered his head and said, "Dad, I'm back."

The old man was still studying the chess game with his head down. He didn't raise his head when he heard this, but just asked casually, "Have you found it?"

The man nodded, "Yes, but the woman died more than ten years ago, two lives." He paused and said, "The woman's man later married and had children."

The old man didn't know whether he was relieved or sighed when he heard this. He put down the white jade chess piece in his hand, reached for the walking stick on the side, and the person who had just played chess with him hurried forward to support him. The old man stood up with the support, turned and walked to the window behind him, looking at the withered garden outside in silence for a long time.

"That's all, you've worked hard, go down and have a rest first."

The man nodded, then stood up and walked out.

After the man walked away, the old man turned around and sat down in front of the chessboard again, and asked the person who had just played chess with him to sit down. After the person sat down stiffly, the old man said, "Check where Chery has been these two days."

"Didn't the second young master just come back?"

The old man didn't answer, but just sneered. How could he not know what kind of temper he had?

In the past, even if it was a big deal, the first thing he did when he got home was to take a shower, but this time he came back from another place, but he was able to reply to him as soon as possible. He didn't believe that his father would be more important than his cleanliness.

Xu Xu arrived at Beidu in the early morning of the 9th. Because they had already informed the others, the eight people including the teacher were immediately picked up by the people sent by Mr. Shu and sent to a special guesthouse to rest.

Because the Shu family was a bit far from the competition venue, and it was the first time for several students to take a train, and they had been sitting for such a long time, and the competition was on the 10th, they had to rest well on the 9th. Mr. Shu did not take them home, but let them rest in the guesthouse he opened outside.

The teacher who led the team was quite embarrassed and particularly grateful. He thanked the people sent by Mr. Shu, and Xu Xu had already found a phone number at the front desk of the guesthouse.

It was not yet six in the morning. Because it was winter, it would not be light until seven or eight in the morning. Xu Xu did not want to disturb Ruan Jiaojiao's sleep so early, so he waited until seven-thirty in the morning and called the Ruan family at the exact time when Ruan Jiaojiao was about to go out.

When his phone rang, Ruan Jiaojiao was having breakfast. She had a poor appetite in the past few days. Today, she only ate one fried dough stick and did not want to eat anymore. Just as she was about to carry her schoolbag to go to school early, she heard the phone ring.

As if they had telepathy, Ruan Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly lit up and she rushed to the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, Xu Xu's voice came from the other end: "Jiaojiao, it's me."

Hearing Xu Xu's voice, Ruan Jiaojiao didn't know why she felt so wronged: "I know, Brother Xu."
