The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

Comforting it: "Xiaoxue, don’t worry, we’ve already arranged a veterinarian for you. They’ll come to take care of you when you give birth."

Xiaoxue responded by nudging her palm with its head, its reliance was evident without words.

After checking on Xiaoxue, Jiaojiao returned to her room and received a call from Shu Jiao, asking her to visit the Shu Family early the next day with Duan Xi for Shu Lao Yezi’s seventieth birthday.

Jiaojiao obediently agreed, and the mother and daughter chatted for a while before hanging up. Afterward, Jiaojiao immediately called Ruan Jianguo to ask if he would be going to the Shu Family the next day.

Since Shu Jiao and Ruan Jianguo divorced last year, Ruan Jianguo had thrown himself entirely into his career. Perhaps he didn’t want to make Shu Jiao uncomfortable, or maybe he wanted to sever his own thoughts completely, so he chose not to stay in Beidu but went south to engage in real estate with Lu Zhiwei.

In the past year, he had rarely returned home, spending most of his time out of town. Jiaojiao recalled the last time she saw him was in March, which was almost two months ago, and she really missed him.

After several rings, the call was finally answered. Jiaojiao eagerly asked, "Dad, tomorrow is grandpa’s birthday, will you be coming back?"

But the voice from the other end wasn’t Ruan Jianguo’s, but a crisp and efficient female voice: "Hello, I’m not Mr. Ruan, I’m his secretary."

Secretary?

Jiaojiao frowned.

She remembered her dad’s secretary was a man she had met before.
