Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227: Recognizing a Goddaughter (4)
Just at that moment, Shu Jiao arrived outside. She originally came to find Yang Xiaona, but when she got to Jiaojiao’s class, she didn’t see Yang Xiaona or Jiaojiao. Hearing from the classmates that they were over here, she came looking. She didn’t hear Xiao Yan’s words, only Jiaojiao’s somewhat angry voice.
She knows her daughter well, gentle and soft-tempered, with so many brothers, she rarely has to stand up for herself, so it’s rare for her to be this upset. While a bit surprised to hear her, she also felt slightly heartwarmed.
Xiao Yan was already flustered, and when she looked up and saw Shu Jiao standing at the door, she turned even paler.
Shu Jiao glanced at her calmly, then turned to Ruan Jiaojiao and said, "Jiaojiao?"
"Mom." Jiaojiao walked over and said directly, "I don’t want Xiao Yan’s apology, and I don’t accept her apology."
"Alright, if you don’t accept it, you don’t accept it." Shu Jiao nodded, not asking for a reason and spoke dotingly. She lifted her head to look coldly at Xiao Yan for a moment, then held Jiaojiao’s little hand to leave.
Xiu Xi and Lu Zishu followed behind. Ruan Lei was still confused and tried to pull his buddy along, but was slapped away by Lu Zishu.
"Hmph!" Lu Zishu said.
"..." Ruan Lei, did he take the wrong medicine?
Only after Shu Jiao took Jiaojiao away did Xiao Yan really become afraid. She chased after them to explain, but was pulled back by Zeng Xiaobao.
"Xiao Yan, you’re not allowed to run. Go fetch water for me first, it’s almost time to close!" The water room was by the school gate; it wasn’t open after evening study sessions ended, so you had to fetch water at this moment.
Xiao Yan was held back and couldn’t get away, stomping her feet in anger but ultimately having to go fetch water. After fetching water, she was told to mop the water on the floor dry. Anyway, she had no time to find Jiaojiao and the others.
Back in the classroom, after Jiaojiao and the others returned, Yang Xiaona also came back, her home far from the school, with no transportation. She walked for over two hours to get to school, arriving soaked in sweat and short of breath.
Seeing how hot she was, Jiaojiao quickly handed her handkerchief to her.
Yang Xiaona took the handkerchief, noticing its fine quality, its fragrance, and softness but was reluctant to use it to wipe her sweat. She smiled and pushed it away, casually wiping her face with her hand, saying, "It’s nothing, I’m not hot."
She turned her head and called out to Auntie Shu Jiao.
Shu Jiao smiled and nodded. After Yang Xiaona caught her breath, she said, "Xiaona, Auntie wants to talk to you, can you come over for a moment?"
Yang Xiaona quickly put down her big cloth bag and nodded, "Sure, sure."
Jiaojiao raised her eyes, questioning silently, but Shu Jiao just ruffled her little head before walking out first. Yang Xiaona gave Jiaojiao’s left hand a squeeze and whispered, "Wait for me, Jiaojiao, I brought you something tasty." Then she chased after Shu Jiao.
As soon as Yang Xiaona and Shu Jiao left, the bell for the first evening class rang. Jiaojiao craned her neck to try to see them, only managing to glimpse them standing in the corridor outside, unable to hear a thing.
The class was still quite noisy, so Jiaojiao turned to Xiu Xi and asked, "Brother Xi, what do you think Mom and Xiaona are talking about?"
Xiu Xi didn’t speak, he just looked a little upset.
