Excitedly, he said, "Jiaojiao, why don’t you take care of me too? I’m really easy to maintain!"Of course, as soon as he said this, Duan Xi kicked him away, telling him to go wherever it was cooler.
The fireworks lasted for ten whole minutes, from eleven fifty to midnight sharp. Although the Ruan Family is not short on money now, Ruan Jiaojiao still felt a pang of heartache. But she was truly happy, extremely joyful, her little face practically frozen in a smile.
Under the dazzling fireworks, Duan Xi looked at her bright smiling face but couldn’t even muster a smile, because he knew that her emotional joy would end at midnight.
After the fireworks display, people gradually dispersed from the Ruan Family residence. Shu Jiao, being old and not wanting to fuss, stayed directly in a guest room at the Ruan Family’s home.
Ruan Jiaojiao was too excited to fall asleep, as she looked at her room full of gifts, utterly delighted.
This eighteenth birthday, everyone gave quite significant gifts.
Besides the unwavering annual gift of eighteen gold bars, Shu Jiao gifted two storefront properties at the most prosperous place in Beidu. It was said that these were part of the dowry from Mrs. Shu. There were originally a dozen properties that should have been divided among the three siblings. However, since Shu Jiao is still alive, there’s no talk of dividing the family estate. All three siblings are well-off, so apart from Shu Wen taking some to open her own stores, the rest remained under Shu Jiao’s control.
Shu Lang and Gu Zichen gave gifts separately.
Shu Lang gave a car, while Gu Zichen gifted a heap of branded luxury items, including bags and jewelry. Gu Zichen has always been at the forefront of fashion. In the past, when Ruan Jiaojiao was young, she only gifted skincare and makeup products suitable for her age, never luxury items, which Shu Xian also disapproved of for someone so young.
