Chapter 2376
So for the upcoming gatherings, she wasn’t concerned at all, only Ruan Wei seemed a bit distracted.
In the middle of it, Ruan Lei noticed something was off with him. Seeing Ruan Wei acting like a silent gourd, he came over and asked Jiaojiao what was going on, and Jiaojiao quietly told him.
After hearing this, Ruan Lei looked over at Ruan Wei, who was so inattentive while eating that he even burned his mouth on the hotpot, and sniffed disdainfully. He turned to Jiaojiao and said in a low voice, "Your Brother Wei won’t learn unless he suffers a big loss."
Perhaps when the incident with Liao Zhaoji happened, Ruan Jun and Ruan Chi were already mature enough. Both of them were greatly hurt by Liao Zhaoji, so neither of them had any attachment towards her.
But Ruan Wei was different. When Liao Zhaoji had her accident, he was young, and his personality was already a bit indecisive and naïve. Liao Zhaoji had indeed treated him a bit better, which is why his resistance to her was far less than that of Ruan Jun and Ruan Chi. This is also why he could never truly harden his heart against Yaya.
However, Ruan Lei recalled how when he last saw Yaya, her demeanor was even more outrageous than Liao Zhaoji’s, and he couldn’t help but frown, thinking that Ruan Wei was destined to stumble hard on this matter!
Thinking of this, he turned to Jiaojiao and warned, "You stay out of this, let them handle it themselves, got it?"
Ruan Chi and Ruan Jun were okay, Ruan Lei wasn’t worried about them, but he feared that if Ruan Wei, with his not-so-smart head, messed up the Yaya issue in the future, he might blame Jiaojiao for it.
It’s not that he didn’t trust his brother, but this had a precedent.
Jiaojiao nodded obediently, "I know, I didn’t plan on getting involved."
If it were when she was younger, she might have been stubborn and wanted to take control, but over the years, under Shu Jiao’s patient guidance, she learned how to manage the situation delicately.
"You, see how your little eyebrows are furrowed, yet you say you don’t care," Ruan Lei said, reaching out playfully to smooth out her furrowed brows.

But before his hand could touch Jiaojiao, Duan Xi reached out and swatted it away.
Ruan Lei chuckled helplessly and then got into the spirit of fun again.
At this gathering, aside from Ruan Wei being preoccupied throughout, everyone else had fun, including Lu Zishu, who sang the loudest, even after Xin Miao left shortly after dinner.
Seeing his silly grin, Jiaojiao couldn’t help but wonder if he had won a million-dollar lottery.
A million-dollar lottery surely wasn’t it, but the next day, Jiaojiao learned why he was so happy because Zhao Li came to the house early in the morning and asked her, "Jiaojiao, your Brother Zishu said he’s dating someone and wants me to propose; he mentioned the girl is your friend, is that true?"
Jiaojiao was surprised.
She looked at Zhao Li in disbelief, Lu Zishu and Xin Miao are together?
"Brother Zishu is talking about Xin Miao?"
Zhao Li nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that’s the name. Godmother wants to ask you, what is that girl like, how long have they been dating? Why haven’t I heard him mention this before? Is it reliable to rush into a proposal so soon?"
Jiaojiao was even more shocked than her.
Just yesterday, Xin Miao was upset with her about getting married soon, and today she’s engaged to Lu Zishu?
What on earth are these two playing at?!
