Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: She Will Die (10)
After thinking for a while, he said, “Isn’t the head of grade one living next door to us? I heard their house is still empty and they don’t plan to live in it for now. How about we buy it and connect both sides?”
“That’s a great idea.” Jiaojiao immediately clapped in agreement.
Although the development here is rather slow, and the house doesn’t appreciate as quickly as those in Beidu, it’s a school district property, and a high school at that. It’s bound to be worth much more in the future compared to other places.
“Right, Dad thinks it’s a good idea too. Their house has a different layout from ours, and Dad has it all planned out. Besides giving your brother and second brother a room, there’s still space left, which can be for…”
Ruan Jianguo was in the middle of excitedly talking when he suddenly felt someone step on him under the table.
Shu Jiao was the closest to him, even though Jiaojiao was sitting beside him as well, her leg was injured, so it couldn’t be her stepping on him. The head of the table was occupied by the Ruanlin Family which was definitely not possible either. Xiu Xi was across the table, which was wide, so it couldn’t be him.
Thus, using a process of elimination, Ruan Jianguo quickly identified who had stepped on him.
He looked over at Shu Jiao in confusion, and she gave him a cold glare, a warning clearly evident in her eyes, causing Ruan Jianguo to silence immediately.
Once Ruan Jianguo stopped talking, Shu Jiao turned to Jiaojiao and said, “Jiaojiao, your dad is short on funds recently, buying a house isn’t a small matter, so can we manage with less space for now?”
“Is Dad out of money?” Jiaojiao asked without suspicion, turning to look at Ruan Jianguo.
Under Shu Jiao’s intense gaze, Ruan Jianguo nodded lifelessly.
Jiaojiao: “That’s fine, Jiaojiao has money.” Over the years, she had saved quite a bit of private funds, she hadn’t counted specifically, but it was at least tens of thousands, enough to buy a house for sure.
“Jiaojiao, how can Mom and Dad use your money, don’t worry, listen to Mom. We’ll separate the rooms with a partition, it won’t interfere with anything, rest assured.” Shu Jiao comforted.
Jiaojiao looked at her and nodded after a long pause.
But she knew in her heart that things weren’t this simple. Given how pampered she was at home, without a significant reason, they wouldn’t make her share a room with others. Even when the family’s finances weren’t good and they lived in Xiahe Village, her room was notably better, with a private bathroom, which even Shu Jiao and Ruan Jianguo didn’t have.
Yet now, suddenly she was going to have to share a room with Xiu Xi, which is truly odd.
Adding to this, Xiu Xi had inexplicably said he was going to take a leave from school earlier. A bad feeling rose in Jiaojiao’s heart. Seeing they were all trying to keep it from her, she didn’t press for answers, pretending she hadn’t noticed.
After room allocations were rearranged, Jiaojiao washed up with Shu Jiao’s help and watched TV in the living room. Shu Jiao and Ruan Jianguo had already returned to their room, which was downstairs along with the Ruanlin Family’s.
Previously, their room doors were always open if it wasn’t time to sleep yet, but now they were tightly shut, clearly talking about something in secret, and doing so behind her back. Jiaojiao could almost be certain that something was happening of which she was unaware, and it wasn’t good.
She tried to recall what had happened to her recently.
But couldn’t come up with anything significant. Aside from some bad luck, there didn’t seem to be anything else going on.
