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

Chapter 2155: Chapter 2155: His Heart Is All on Her (7)

And Duan Qirui was still in that same familiar all-white outfit. The moment he walked in, he frowned. If it were anyone else, people would probably think he was being a bit rude—coming to someone’s birthday celebration with a frown. But the Ruan Family knew he was just purely disgusted by the crowd, and by the air pollution caused by too many people.

When they saw Duan Qianyang, the Ruan Family quickly went over to greet him. Ruan Jiaojiao also came over hand in hand with Duan Xi, calling out sweetly, "Uncle Duan."

"Aiya, our Jiaojiao really is getting prettier and prettier. Uncle had something to deal with just now and got held up a bit, so I’m late. I’ll make it up to you later with a bigger birthday present, how about that?" Duan Qianyang said with a smile to Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded with her eyes curved in a smile. "You’re not late, you’re not late. But I’ll still be taking that big present."

Next to her, Shu Jiao heard this and looked at her helplessly. "This child..."

Duan Qianyang hurriedly chimed in, "That’s exactly what I like about our Jiaojiao, she doesn’t treat her uncle like an outsider, hahaha."

Duan Qianyang wasn’t just saying that for show; he meant it. The Duan Family had few descendants, and their family bonds were even thinner. Not having it in the past was one thing, but after spending these past years with Ruan Jiaojiao, seeing this considerate, sweet girl, then looking at his cold, indifferent son, how could he not be greedy for what he didn’t have?

Luckily, even if she couldn’t be his daughter, he’d be more than happy to have her as his future daughter-in-law.

The group chatted and laughed as they walked. Duan Qianyang then went over to greet Old Master Shu, and with that, the important guests were basically all here. At 11:30 at noon, the meal officially started.
