Chapter 351 Uncle (1)_1
Especially when those eyes landed on Ruan Jianguo, they scrutinized him unabashedly.
After giving him a full once-over, his gaze softened considerably when it finally fell on Ruan Jie standing beside Ruan Jianguo, and when it reached her, his look completely transformed, as if ice and snow had met the sun, melting all the frost and carrying a layer of warm affection.
He even strode forward, bypassing both Ruan Jianguo and the Ruanlin Family, and came straight to Ruan Jiaojiao. He crouched in front of her, his hands awkwardly lifting, as if he wanted to hug her but didn’t know where to begin, his voice filled with excitement as he asked, "Are you Jiaojiao?"
Ruan Jiaojiao placed the stray cat she was holding onto the ground. The cat, with round eyes, made a soft whimpering sound but dared not approach.
Seeing that he didn’t hurt the stray, she nodded at the man, already guessing who he was.
The original host’s mother, Shu Jiao, had a younger brother and sister; her brother, Shu Lang, was nine years younger than Shu Jiao, just ten years old when she went to the countryside, while her sister was only seven, so naturally, the responsibility fell on her.
And the man before her was clearly Shu Jiao’s brother, the original host’s uncle, the influential scientist in the research world—Professor Shu, Shu Lang!
However, Ruan Jiaojiao did not have many memories about this uncle in the recollections she’d inherited. Perhaps it was related to his work; she only remembered that this uncle was very fond of the original host and was a workaholic his entire life, never marrying until his death. When the original host was young, he used to send her many nice things every now and then.
