Chapter 2235
Yu Rou brought some trinkets, little accessories for girls, not very valuable, but they warmed Ruan Jiaojiao’s heart.
Lu Xian left, and Zhao Li fell ill.
Either one of these things made it hard for her to be happy. Yu Rou visited her several times in those days, always putting in effort to cheer her up. It might not always work, but Ruan Jiaojiao appreciated it, and it warmed her heart.
But some things take time, and you can’t bounce back instantly.
Just like Zhao Li, who seemed fine on the surface, but losing a child is something a mother can’t forget in just ten days or half a month. So she took Lu Xian and left the Lu Family temporarily, returning to her own family, perhaps afraid that staying at home too long would bring back too many memories of Lu Xian.
Ruan Jiaojiao was the same. At school, with lots of people, activity, and things to do, it was easier not to think about it.
But once she got home, just glancing at the house next door caused her mood to weigh heavily, bringing back memories of the past.
Yu Rou was a lively girl, and she got along well with Ruan Jiaojiao. She would chatter on and on, and after introducing the gifts she brought, seeing that Ruan Jiaojiao was still quiet, she started talking about yesterday’s events, using her cousin’s gossip to cheer Ruan Jiaojiao without any guilt.
"Jiaojiao, my cousin got married yesterday and you didn’t come. Do you want me to tell you about it?"
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at her.
"Let me tell you, my cousin’s wedding yesterday was super lively." She leaned in close to Ruan Jiaojiao and whispered, "Do you know why he was in such a hurry to marry Feng Nianian?"
Before Ruan Jiaojiao could respond, she immediately added, "Because Feng Nianian is pregnant, almost three months. If they don’t get married soon, it will be hard to hide the belly!"
"And do you know? I heard, during the time he was with Feng Nianian, he also had something going on with Zhou Yun."
"How do you know that?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked. Isn’t this kind of thing secret?
"Oh." Yu Rou looked a bit embarrassed: "I overheard it when Feng Nianian and Zhou Yun were arguing."
"???" Ruan Jiaojiao.
"In the bathroom." Thinking back on the situation, Yu Rou was still a bit embarrassed.
She had an upset stomach and went to the bathroom several times during the wedding banquet. The last time, while dealing with it, those two came in one after the other, started with sarcastic remarks, and then got into a physical fight.
What was most annoying was when Feng Nianian accidentally stepped on the tissue she had dropped, which left her squatting in the bathroom with numb legs, waiting for a familiar face to come in and ask for more tissues.
"It’s a pity I didn’t have my phone with me at the time; otherwise, I would have recorded it to show you." Thinking back, Yu Rou felt a little regretful.
After listening, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t know what to say, but Ruanlin, coming out of the kitchen with chicken soup, was a bit surprised and said, "Jiang Xun, how did that child turn out like this?"
"Wow, Grandma Ruan, what is that? It smells amazing." Yu Rou exclaimed exaggeratedly.
Ruanlin smiled and served her a bowl: "Just some chicken soup, there’s more in the pot, let me know if you want more."
Then she turned to Ruan Jiaojiao: "Sweetie, this chicken was brought by your third aunt yesterday, it’s a free-range hen from the countryside, very nutritious, have some and see if you like it."
"Delicious, especially fresh." Yu Rou commented from the side.
