Chapter 1161: Chapter 1161: Turning Point (2)
This evening’s dinner was delivered by Zhao Li and Wu Le. It was Wu Le’s first time bringing food to the school. When Ruan Feng saw his mom, he was stunned and asked in surprise, "Mom, weren’t you on a business trip in Changling recently? When did you come back?"
For her to bring him dinner was something that had never happened before.
Seeing her grown-up, tall, and handsome eldest son, Wu Le’s eyes were a bit moist. She held back her emotions and smiled, saying, "You’re in the third year of high school now. I’m not going to do business anymore, I’ll stay home to take care of you. You focus on getting into college. Don’t worry about anything, okay?"
It was only after this incident that Wu Le truly realized that nothing could be more reliable than her son.
She had such a good son who was destined to get into college. Was there anything to fear about the future without support?
Having understood this, Wu Le decided not to do business anymore and instead stay home to support her son’s college entrance exams. If other nephews could get into college, her son certainly could too.
"Wow, Auntie is so nice. Brother Feng will definitely get into the best university," Jiaojiao chimed in with a smile.
She was genuinely happy for Ruan Feng.
Over the years, seeing Wu Le constantly struggling outside, Jiaojiao actually knew she thought that with how easily her family did business and made money, she could surely do the same. So she kept using the dividends her fourth uncle gave her to venture outside, unwilling to stop regardless of how much she lost, partly due to a bit of bitterness in her heart.
Now that she saw her finally understanding and putting Ruan Feng first, she naturally felt happy for her brother.
"Well, thank you in advance for your kind words, Jiaojiao," Wu Le genuinely smiled this time and patted Jiaojiao’s little head.
Ruan Feng gave her a suspicious glance. After all, he was six years older than Jiaojiao and understood Wu Le’s nature. He always felt things weren’t so simple. But with so many people around, he couldn’t ask and just quietly ate his meal.
While eating, Jiaojiao casually asked Zhao Li, "Godmother, why didn’t Grandma come?"
Since moving to town, Ruanlin’s life had revolved around the family, especially Jiaojiao. Her three meals a day were her top priority. If there was really something going on, she would let Jiaojiao know in advance, but she hadn’t mentioned anything when they talked at noon.
"Oh, it seems someone from your village came over to ask her for a small favor, so she didn’t have time to come," Zhao Li replied naturally.
Upon hearing this, Jiaojiao blinked, nodded, and didn’t suspect anything.
On the other side, Wu Le somewhat unnaturally touched her face. Thinking about how she made Ruanlin end up in the hospital, she couldn’t help but feel guilty. However, with her head down, besides Ruan Feng, no one seemed to notice her abnormality.
The boys in the Ruan family largely resembled their father. Ruan Feng was also quite like Ruan Jianmin. Over the years, he studied hard and got glasses early, and when scrutinizing people, he had a sharpness similar to Ruan Jianmin.
Once they finished eating, Ruan Feng said, "Mom, let me walk you out."
Wu Le didn’t think anything of it, assuming he hadn’t seen her for a while and wanted to spend more time together. She smiled happily and nodded.
The teaching building was several hundred meters from the school gate, taking a few minutes to walk. On the way, Wu Le kept asking Ruan Feng about his daily life, and Ruan Feng patiently answered. It wasn’t until they reached the gate that Ruan Feng finally asked, "Mom, has something happened at home?"
