Chapter 2232
She picked up the book on the table, avoided him, and walked away without looking back.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t usually act so decisively.
In the past, although Jiang Xun troubled her, she always thought they grew up in the same place, so there was no need to make the relationship too strained.
But the last time at the karaoke, she realized that incompatibility is just that, forcing it would only make everyone unhappy. She hasn’t been in a good mood recently, and doesn’t want to make herself upset over such inexplicable matters.
Jiang Xun hadn’t expected Ruan Jiaojiao to be so straightforward, and was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, Ruan Jiaojiao had already walked far away with several female classmates.
Beside him, there were quite a few classmates pointing and whispering.
Ever since the incident at the karaoke, the image he had carefully cultivated in school of being infatuated with Ruan Jiaojiao for four years had started to crumble.
Now seeing Ruan Jiaojiao tear straight into him, many couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
Jiang Xun vaguely heard some of their words, his face changed, and finally, with a grim expression, he left the crowd.
The next day Jiang Xun got married, Ruan Jiaojiao really didn’t go, but the Ruan Family and the Jiang Family had connections, so Ruan Jianguo went.
He only attended briefly and then left without even staying for the meal, accompanied by Duan Xin.
Feng Nianian was getting married; as her niece, the Duan Family couldn’t possibly not make an appearance, but Duan Qianyang happened to be abroad and was not in the country, so Duan Qirui sent Duan Xin.
Duan Qirui has a severe cleanliness obsession; he wouldn’t go to unnecessary occasions, and in his eyes, this niece’s wedding wasn’t a must-attend event, so he instructed Duan Xin to go instead.
Duan Xin graduated two years ago, and during these two years, it’s unclear what he’s been doing, idling at home all day. He thought Ruan Jiaojiao and the others would also go to the wedding when Duan Qirui sent him, so he cheerily went, but upon arriving, he only saw Ruan Jianguo hurriedly leaving after giving a gift, so he too hurriedly gave a gift and then followed him back.
Wedding banquets generally start early, so when the two returned to the Ruan Family home, the family was having dinner.
Duan Xin entered and didn’t treat himself as an outsider, joining in, "Ah, I came just at the right time, haven’t eaten yet, is there enough for me, Grandma Ruan?"
Ruanlin Family: "There’s enough, enough, but the dishes are nothing special, just home-cooked food."
"I don’t need anything fancy, I like everything Grandma Ruan makes; it’s the taste of home," Duan Xin said sweetly, immediately making Ruanlin smile broadly, and she got up to go to the kitchen to get some rice.
Duan Xin quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need, Grandma Ruan, I’ll get it myself, I know where the bowls and chopsticks are."
After getting the rice, Duan Xin started eating, and his previous words weren’t just for show; he really enjoyed Ruanlin’s cooking. Although it’s just home-cooked food, it tasted comforting, and what he liked most was the atmosphere of the Ruan Family.
Unlike his own home, where Duan Qianyang hardly eats there, and it’s just him and Duan Qirui eating.
But with Duan Qirui’s cleanliness obsession, dining involves a pile of communal and personal chopsticks, not to mention the table has to be covered with a white cloth, hands gloved, and several cups placed beside him, ready to wash chopsticks, wash tableware, and if there happens to be a whole fish or a chicken, duck, or meat on the table, to him it felt less like dining and more like performing surgery on an operating table!
That feeling, don’t even mention it!
