Chapter 2172
Thinking of this, she couldn’t contain her excitement and ran to find Shu Jiao and others: "Mom, Mom, did you see the sister with the older brother today?"
Shu Jiao was talking to Zhao Li. She looked at Jiaojiao with a puzzled expression: "Which sister?"
"You don’t know? Just now..." Over the next few moments, Ruan Jiaojiao began chattering away, praising Wen Shu intensely. However, as she praised, her expression became somewhat curious: "Why does that Sister Wen Shu seem a bit familiar, like I’ve seen her somewhere before?"
"Perhaps she’s a previous business partner?" Shu Jiao said, raising her hand to tidy Jiaojiao’s slightly messy hair. Thinking of something, her eyes flickered and she added, "Your dad was looking for you just now, seems he has something to say. Go find him."
"But I don’t think so. When has the older brother introduced any business partners seriously to me?" Ruan Jiaojiao scratched the back of her head, still feeling that this wasn’t quite right.
But unable to figure it out for the moment, she turned to ask instead: "What’s Dad looking for me for?"
"I don’t know, go ask him." Shu Jiao looked down and elegantly sipped her tea.
Ruan Jiaojiao, without suspecting anything, turned and went to find Ruan Jianguo. By the evening, there weren’t many guests left, only family, and Ruan Jianguo was chatting with a few men.
Ruan Jiaojiao ran over to ask him what was going on.
He was a little confused: "What issue?"
"How would I know, Mom said you had something to tell me." Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him, bewildered.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jianguo slapped his forehead, immediately remembered, and pulled Ruan Jiaojiao to a corner, lowering his voice: "Sweetie, do you still have plans tonight?"
"Yes, we’re planning to go to the movies." According to Duan Xi’s plan, after the movie, it would be late, and they would naturally stay over at Hengya’s place.
Thinking of this, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but feel a bit shy, turning her eyes and bowing her little head.
"When does it end?"
"Seems like after eleven, Dad, is there something wrong?"
"Well, the thing is, Daddy has prepared a big gift for you at home, you must be back before twelve tonight, okay?" Ruan Jianguo instructed.
Ruan Jiaojiao frowned: "But that’s quite late. We’re closer to Hengya’s place, planning to sleep there directly."
"Oh, that’s not okay!!" Ruan Jianguo’s voice suddenly rose.
Ruan Jiaojiao lifted her head: "???" Why not?
After shouting, Ruan Jianguo realized he was too excited, and lowered his voice again, speaking with a loving face: "Sweetie, you only turn eighteen once in a lifetime, how can Dad’s gift be absent? You must come back, understand? If you’re worried about it being too late, no worries, Dad will personally drive to pick you up."
"But..."
"No buts, sweetie, alright, let’s agree on this. Go on, have fun tonight. Buy whatever you want, eat whatever you like, our family isn’t short on money." Ruan Jianguo patted Ruan Jiaojiao’s little head, and after speaking, without giving Ruan Jiaojiao a chance to respond, he swiftly walked away like the wind.
Ruan Jiaojiao watched his fast disappearing figure, pouting her lips. If she hadn’t told Duan Xi about staying at Hengya’s place today outside, she would have suspected whether her dad was eavesdropping on them.
