Chapter 997: What a Coincidence (1)
He knelt before Old Master Shu, regardless of how drunk he looked right now or whether he could even hear his words, and sincerely said, "Dad, please believe me. I will take good care of Xiaojiao. Life may be tough for now, but in the future, I promise I’ll make sure the two of them live well."
"And even if I make it big someday, I can guarantee that I’ll still treat Xiaojiao with love and care. I won’t ever let her down, no matter what. If I do, you can hit me, scold me, or do whatever you want."
Ruan Jianguo’s heartfelt words moved everyone. Shu Jiao looked at him with slightly reddened eyes. She trusted him, of course, but when a man is willing to kneel before your parents and swear to treat you well, it’s hard for a woman not to be moved.
Ruan Jiaojiao was deeply moved as well. Out of all the people she knew, she had never encountered anyone as devoted as Ruan Jianguo. He treated his wife so well—even her godfather Lu Zhiwei didn’t treat her godmother Zhao Li to this extent.
Everyone’s gaze shifted to Ruan Jianguo and Old Master Shu, waiting to see how the old man would react.
As Old Master Shu listened to these words, he remained silent. Everyone assumed he had been touched, which was why he didn’t speak for so long. After over ten seconds, they suddenly saw Old Master Shu reach out and shove Ruan Jianguo.
With a cold snort, he sneered, "Make it big? Boy, even if you do, will you ever have as much money as I do?"
He jabbed Ruan Jianguo’s shoulder repeatedly with his finger, his face full of disdain. "Let me tell you, boy—it’s not gonna happen!"
"..." Ruan Jianguo.
