Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: Recognizing a Goddaughter (1)
Ruan Lei had already chased after Yang Tao, and Jiaojiao watched their retreating figures with some emotion, feeling that just yesterday they were catching birds in the back mountain for fun, and now, in the blink of an eye, the pigs on their family farm were starting to root out the cabbages?
It was simply unbelievable.
But compared to her, Lu Zishu obviously found it even harder to accept. After all, apart from sleeping during class, he prided himself on spending all his time with Ruan Lei. How did Ruan Lei and Yang Tao end up hitting it off without him hearing a single word of it?
Lu Zishu was quite upset, no, he was extraordinarily upset. How was he supposed to live like this, with Xiu Xi and Jiaojiao, Ruan Lei and Yang Tao, and just him left as a lonely single person?
When they returned to the Ruan Family, the Ruanlin Family had already prepared dinner and was just waiting for them to eat, noticing that Ruan Lei hadn’t come, the Ruanlin Family asked casually.
However, Jiaojiao thought it best not to tell the elders about this early romance, so she just casually made up an excuse to brush it off.
Shu Jiao also hadn’t gone to school yet and joined them for dinner, asking Jiaojiao if anything had happened in the afternoon. Hearing everything went smoothly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, what Mrs. Yuan said didn’t seem to be mere words. Shu Jiao was still somewhat uneasy, feeling like a heavy stone was weighing on her chest.
As she ate, she furrowed her brows in deep thought, especially when looking at Xiu Xi, who was serving Jiaojiao food, her gaze became even deeper.
After finishing dinner, Shu Jiao, who originally planned to go to school with Jiaojiao and the others, changed her mind and let Jiaojiao and the others go ahead.
She stayed behind at home, and as soon as Jiaojiao and the others left, she pulled the Ruanlin Family aside to discuss, "Mom, I want to take in Yang Xiaona as a goddaughter, what do you think?"
She never denied being a selfish mother, and now, it was obvious that Xiu Xi could no longer fully protect her daughter. Now that another girl had appeared, she naturally wanted to bring her into the fold.
"You mean the girl Jiaojiao brought back that day?" the Ruanlin Family asked.
Shu Jiao nodded.
"The kid is a good girl, just that she’s seventeen or eighteen already, will she be willing?" The Ruanlin Family was a bit hesitant, Yang Xiaona stayed at the Ruan Family house for one night and helped out in the kitchen the next day, unhurried and diligent, even though her family was not well-off, her conduct was commendable.
"She probably won’t have an issue, it’s mainly her family." Yang Xiaona clearly liked their family, and liked Jiaojiao, looking at her with admiration, she was sure of that.
It was just that her family was a bit troublesome; they had five children just for a son. In such a heavily patriarchal family, she was afraid it might be difficult to deal with them.
"Then bring her here, Xiaona herself is a good girl, as for her family, don’t worry, your mom isn’t that old yet, let’s see who dares to be insolent, I’ll tear them apart!" Ruanlin made a gesture of rolling up her sleeves, anyway, the urgent matter at hand was Jiaojiao’s affairs. Compared to Jiaojiao’s safety, those little issues were nothing.
"Alright, I’ll talk to Xiaona about it later today." Seeing Ruanlin’s reassurance, Shu Jiao said.
On the other side, Jiaojiao and the others had already arrived at school. Jiaojiao, afraid that Ruan Lei might forget to eat after being in a relationship, had specially packed a meal and delivered it to Ruan Lei’s classroom.
Only when she arrived, Ruan Lei and Yang Tao hadn’t come yet. After asking a few students, she left the meal at Ruan Lei’s seat.
