Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: Could Die at Any Moment (9)
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, then realized he couldn’t see her, so she explained, “Grandpa, Jiaojiao is fine, just a bit unlucky.” She usually liked chatting about everyday things with Grandpa Shu, so she didn’t hide her injury now and talked about how unlucky she had been in the past few days.
Grandpa Shu was heartbroken and immediately said, “Your school is too rundown, my dear Jiaojiao. How about this, give the phone to your uncle, and I’ll have a few words with him.”
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t suspect anything and handed the phone to Shu Lang. As Shu Lang listened to Grandpa Shu’s instructions, his expression gradually turned a bit strange, making Ruan Jiaojiao very curious.
Ten minutes later, Shu Lang finally hung up the phone.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him in confusion, asking, “Uncle, what did Grandpa say?”
Shu Lang looked at Ruan Jiaojiao, facing for the first time his father’s extreme pampering of the child without any limits.
At the same time, he was a bit annoyed, wondering why he never thought of what Grandpa Shu did. Indeed, the older the ginger, the spicier it is.
“Your grandpa said he’s planning to fund your school. Not only to rebuild the school but also to introduce the best teaching equipment, to give you a good learning environment.” Shu Lang said.
The expression was really indescribable.
Back when he was studying, Grandpa Shu believed in tough love, so he received quite a few smacks, let alone his learning environment, being able to go to school in those years was already a blessing.
“…” Ruan Jiaojiao.
“Hey, why didn’t I think of that!”
In the midst of silence, Ruan Jianguo slapped his thigh, blaming himself for not thinking of this step.
Shu Lang scratched his head and discussed with Ruan Jianguo, “How about I also invest a share? Three shares should be enough to build quite a few school buildings.”
“In that case, count me in too,” Qin Qiong, who was beside, couldn’t remain silent.
“…” Xiu Xi.
The expression that was already not so good became even worse, because he never thought of this either. After two seconds of silence, he rarely agreed with them, “I’ll invest a share too.”
“!!!” Ruan Jiaojiao.
Next, several men started officially discussing school construction matters, while Ruan Jiaojiao sat on the side, unexpectedly feeling a bit redundant.
After a while, she found the conversation too boring and, unconsciously, closed her eyes while leaning against Xiu Xi.
When she woke up again, she found herself already lying in bed. Turning her head, she saw Xiu Xi sitting at her desk, doing something unknown.
Ruan Jiaojiao raised her hand to check the time. This glance shocked her; it was already past two in the afternoon.
“Brother Xiu, why didn’t you wake me up, it’s already two!” Ruan Jiaojiao said anxiously, reaching out to lift the blanket, but as soon as her hand touched it, she hissed in pain.
It’s said that the fingers are linked to the heart, and that is indeed true; the pain in her fingers was much worse than the injury on her leg.
“It’s okay, Auntie has already excused us,” Xiu Xi quickly walked to the bedside, held her hand, and blew on it, as if this could ease her pain.
In Xiu Xi’s view, skipping a day of classes was nothing; he even wished she could take a break from school so he could do nothing but watch over her all day.
But that was ultimately impractical; not only was it impossible for anyone to stay in one place forever, but Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t the type to stay put either.
