Chapter 2262
The tenderness in his eyes wasn’t fake, it was truly sincere: "I don’t know why, but I liked her when I first saw her."
"Maybe it’s because I’m too pretty??" Jiaojiao shamelessly covered her face.
Even Ruanlin couldn’t help but poke her forehead: "Aren’t you embarrassed to say that in front of your sister Wen?"
Jiaojiao pretended to be in pain and hid behind Wen Shu, raising her little chin at Ruanlin: "I’m telling the truth, otherwise ask Sister Wen, right, Sister Wen?"
"Right." Wen Shu replied earnestly.
This made Jiaojiao a bit embarrassed, her face turning red, while Ruanlin laughed and said, "Since we’re all family, there’s no need to be polite. Little Shu, what do you like to eat? Grandma will make it for you at noon."
"Sister Wen, my grandma’s cooking is top-notch, even better than the hotel’s." Jiaojiao immediately chimed in.
"Grandma, just make anything, I’m not picky." Wen Shu replied, pausing: "I haven’t had homemade food for a long time, I really miss it."
"Okay, then Grandma will see what to make." Ruanlin said, getting up and heading to the kitchen.
The rest of the time, it was basically Shu Jiao and Wen Shu chatting, with Ruan Hao occasionally chiming in.
Since it was their first meeting after all, Shu Jiao didn’t probe too deep, mostly asking about Wen Shu’s daily work. Jiaojiao accompanied them for a while, and when no one paid attention to her, she quietly sneaked into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Ruanlin was washing rice, and Jiaojiao quietly asked her: "Grandma, do you like brother’s girlfriend?"
"What use is it if I like her, it’s your brother’s opinion that matters." Ruanlin answered, but then smiled: "But since your brother brought her home, she must be quite alright."
"Did you like her too?" she turned and asked.
Jiaojiao nodded: "I quite like her, look at this, it’s a gift from Sister Wen, it’s very expensive." She showed the diamond-studded watch she was wearing to Ruanlin. Having just received the watch, and knowing its price, she treasured it dearly, taking it off at night for sleeping, and only wearing it during the day when not doing anything in case she knocked off a precious diamond, which she would find heart-wrenching.
"Little money grubber." Ruanlin playfully scolded her with a glance. She didn’t know the watch’s value, but had heard from Shu Jiao that it was quite pricey, guessing: "This child’s family must be doing well."
After all, giving a watch worth tens of thousands as a gift isn’t something ordinary people can afford.
Jiaojiao nodded too.
She didn’t chase brand names, but under the influence of Gu Zichen and Shu Wen, she recognized quite a few brands. Wen Shu’s outfit looked simple, but was actually all high-end brands.
When Shu Jiao and Wen Shu had almost finished chatting outside, Jiaojiao quickly ran out to show Wen Shu around the house.
Upon seeing the photos in Jiaojiao’s room, Jiaojiao proudly introduced her brothers to her. However, Wen Shu’s attention was more focused on Duan Xi: "Jiaojiao, did your boyfriend grow up with you?"
"Yes, Brother Xi grew up in our family." Jiaojiao nodded.
"His surname is Duan, like in Duan Qianyang?"
Jiaojiao heard this and looked at Wen Shu, recalling her expression when she saw Duan Xi getting off the car, and now hearing her mention Duan Qianyang, something flashed quickly in her mind, and she suddenly remembered Duan Xi’s biological mother, Wen Yu.
