Chapter 2233
Just like in the Ruan Family, where the whole family sits together lively, eating simple homegrown food with a warm feeling in their hearts.
He used to not understand why his cousin didn’t want to go back to the Duan Family, but now he completely understands. After all, if he had to choose, he’d also prefer to stay in this warm family.
After lunch, since it was Saturday, Jiaojiao had no classes and was just sitting in the living room watching TV.
Duan Xin was pestering Duan Xi about the company he’s running. Having graduated two years ago, he’s been idling without a serious job. His dad put him into different units, but he lacked the interest and couldn’t stand the confines, so he quit after just a few days.
Now he just wants to cling to Duan Xi and join his company.
Although Duan Xi’s company is in its early stages, it has plenty of people, enough funds, and is of a decent size, but he doesn’t keep idle people and just asked Duan Xin what he knew.
Duan Xin didn’t know anything, and Duan Xi directly refused: "The company doesn’t support useless people."
"..." Duan Xin.
Feeling insulted, he turned to Jiaojiao and said: "Jiaojiao, aren’t you going to do something about him?"
"Ah?" Jiaojiao seemed to be watching TV but was actually in a daze. Hearing the voice, she looked over, somewhat confused.
Duan Xi walked over, sat beside her, and gently squeezed her little hand: "Do you want to go out for a walk, maybe visit the zoo?"
It had been half a month since Lu Xian left; everyone’s life seemed to have resumed to peace. However, Jiaojiao sometimes would still zone out, lacking energy.
Zhao Li had returned to her parents’ house with Lu Meng these past two days.
Most of the Lu Family’s business used to be managed by Lu Xian, and now that he was gone, Lu Zishu could only be forced into action, with Lu Zhiwei spending most of his time helping him get familiar with the business in the company.
So now the Lu Family was cold and deserted every day, making Jiaojiao feel uneasy.
At school, it was a bit better, but when she came home, she would often just zone out.
"Awoo awoo!" Next to her, Rou Rou stood up excitedly upon hearing the words, howling. Xiaoxue didn’t bark but looked full of anticipation. Their pups were too many to keep at home, so they were all placed in the zoo.
Jiaojiao didn’t want to be immersed in the past every day and smiled, nodding her head.
"Count me in, hehe." Duan Xin shamelessly came over, joining Rou Rou and Xiaoxue in the back.
The journey wasn’t short, and December’s weather was getting colder. The car had the heater on, causing the cold air from outside to condense into a lot of mist.
Jiaojiao traced her fingers through the mist.
In the back, Duan Xin kept chatting away, while Duan Xi watched over Jiaojiao and occasionally glanced at the backseat, keeping the atmosphere harmonious.
Although it was December and quite cold, many people were at the zoo since it was the weekend.
Bringing Rou Rou and Xiaoxue along, they feared causing alarm, so they entered through a side entrance under the staff’s guidance and went directly to the wolf area.
The wolf area was an open section of the park, housing twelve wolves, all pups of Rou Rou and Xiaoxue.
Once Xiaoxue and Rou Rou got out of the car, their pups smelled them and sprinted over. They were going through an awkward growth phase, having stretched out from their previous chubbiness, making their long limbs look scrawny and unattractive.
But seeing their joyful bounces around their parents lifted her spirits quite a bit.
