Chapter 487: Birthday (3)_1
"I just can’t sit still," the matriarch of the Ruanlin Family explained, settling down with the help of Zhao Li.
Shu Jie, coming out of the kitchen and seeing her being supported by Zhao Li, was shocked and thought something serious had happened; she hurried over, about to ask, when Ruan Jiaojiao cut in, "Mom, Grandma is being disobedient again.

As she spoke, she winked at Shu Jie from an angle Zhao Li couldn’t see.
Shu Jie almost immediately understood what that meant and her expression turned serious as she scolded the matriarch, "Mom, have you forgotten what the doctor said last time? You only occasionally feel better, but you haven’t fully recovered. Your underlying condition is still there. You can’t do this again. What would we do if something happened to you? What about Jiaojiao?"
"Ah, it’s my fault, my fault," the Ruanlin matriarch nodded, sincerely admitting her mistake.
Their act fooled Zhao Li, who did not suspect anything and simply thought the matriarch had suddenly felt better for a moment.
Hearing this, Zhao Li spoke earnestly, "Auntie, you really must take good care of yourself. Have you forgotten? We agreed to find a good match for Jiaojiao someday. Without your discerning eyes, that won’t be possible."
