Chapter 2230
He scratched the back of his head, and after the three people in front entered the ward, he pulled Duan Xi aside: "How about it, Xi Ge, you punch me too?"
Duan Xi glanced at him, his eyes cold.
"Lu Zishu, what are you up to again?" Inside the ward, Zhao Li lay down, not seeing Lu Zishu and Duan Xi come in, thinking he was messing around again, she raised her head and shouted toward the door.
Lu Zishu heard her and had to respond first, then said to Duan Xi: "I’ll owe you this punch, you can return it whenever you want in the future." After speaking, he hurried into the ward, his steps quick, a bit afraid that Duan Xi might say something cold.
In the ward, Zhao Li was half-reclining on the bed. After receiving news, Lu Zhiwei, who was discussing the condition with the doctor, ran back quickly, followed closely by the doctor.
After a series of examinations, the doctor finally determined that Zhao Li had indeed recovered, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Li didn’t like hospitals, she felt there was nothing wrong with her, so the group left the hospital. At home, the Ruanlin Family had already prepared the meal.
It was the first time since Lu Xian’s passing that the two families sat down seriously for a meal together.
When she was not lucid, it was one thing, but now that she had recovered, Zhao Li realized how excessive her previous actions were to the Ruan Family, especially to Ruan Jiaojiao.
She watched Ruan Jiaojiao grow up, naturally knowing how deeply emotional she was, and knowing that she must have made things difficult for her during this time.
Midway through the meal, Zhao Li stood up with her wine glass and solemnly apologized to Ruan Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, your aunt has been a bit confused lately, please don’t hold those foolish things against me, okay?"
Ruan Jiaojiao hurriedly stood up, shaking her head vigorously, her eyes red: "Auntie, Jiaojiao doesn’t mind, as long as you can get better, Jiaojiao will be happy."
"Good child." Zhao Li patted her little hand.
Zhao Li then looked at Shu Jiao: "Sister Shu, during this time... I’ve troubled you, I offer you a toast with tea instead of wine."
Zhao Li was a transparent person. Although the Ruan Family had many men, she knew who was truly in charge, and she knew what was most important to Shu Jiao. She knew her foolish actions during this time were something all the men in the Ruan family could choose not to forgive, but Shu Jiao absolutely couldn’t. Having been close for over a decade, she knew where Shu Jiao’s bottom line was.
And her actions during this time had undoubtedly crossed that line.
No matter how good the relationship between the two families was, it was not a reason for her to squander it recklessly, let alone the scene Lu Zishu caused today, which probably already created a rift in Shu Jiao’s heart.
Moreover, speaking of it, she was the one who insisted on establishing the unofficial kinship back then. Now Lu Zishu casually spoke as if it was the Ruan Family being ungrateful, but in fact, engraving the name was indeed their fault.
It’s lucky that Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t agree to it, otherwise, it would have been hard to handle.
Shu Jiao was sitting on the other side of Ruan Jiaojiao, with the two mothers separated by only Ruan Jiaojiao. She looked up at Zhao Li standing up, ultimately sighed helplessly, stood up as well, and patted her hand, saying: "If you’re not well, don’t drink alcohol."
She turned around, scooped a bowl of soup for Zhao Li: "Your body is still weak, you need to rest more, this soup is nourishing, drink more."
"Okay." Zhao Li nodded with a smile, knowing that she had moved past this page.
