Chapter 2222: Chapter 2222: Sister-in-law (Part 4)
After seeing off relatives and friends, Lu Zhiwei looked at Ruan Jianguo several times, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say. Instead, it was Ruan Jianguo who came over and patted his shoulder: "It’s okay, we all know she didn’t mean it, no hard feelings."The Ruan Family indeed held no grudges, understanding that Zhao Li had been deeply affected and might have some mental issues.
But Duan Xi thought differently; among those at the cemetery, his expression was the most unpleasant.
Still, he was mindful of both families’ reputations and refrained from speaking out directly.
Ruan Jiaojiao hadn’t expected Zhao Li to end up like this, feeling both pain and guilt. In the days since Lu Xian left, she couldn’t sleep well; whenever she closed her eyes, it was as if Lu Xian’s image and smile were still before her.
Memories that were once not deeply ingrained now replayed over and over.
She remembered the first time she met Lu Xian; back then, she didn’t like him because he had injured her brother, and she disliked him for it.
Yet he seemed oblivious to her dislike, always stuffing chocolates in her pockets when he saw her.
At that time, chocolate was a rarity, but he would bring handfuls every visit, once causing Zhao Li to joke that he’d emptied his family’s pantry.
Later, when she grew a bit older and worried about her teeth, he stopped giving sweets and started with other small gifts.
The popular toys of the time, he would gather many before having Ruan Jie bring them to her.
Whenever she and Lu Zishu had a conflict, he would unerringly go after Lu Zishu first. Even if it wasn’t Lu Zishu’s fault, he would always kick Lu Zishu.
