As soon as he started talking, especially complinting Ruan Jiaojiao, Ruan Jianguo beca interested, turned his head over, and loudly said, "Yes, this little one has been raised by our precious Jiaojiao since she was a baby. Don’t be fooled by her tiny size, she’s very smart. Just yesterday, she took a bath with imported fragrant stuff, much cleaner than any random people around."
He intentionally said the last part loudly to make sure the neighbors next door could hear.
The woman indeed heard it, and her expression turned a bit stiff.
She didn’t an to disgust anyone, it’s just that in this era, everyone is striving for their own lives, and it’s rare to see people keeping pets, especially when Ruan Jiaojiao isn’t so fancy breed, just an ordinary little tabby. To her, it was just an animal, so she spoke without much consideration.
But little did she know that the Ruan Family wouldn’t let it go so easily, and they were insinuating about her like this. What’s more, she didn’t dare to retort, as they were a whole family with tall n, and she, with just her daughter, couldn’t stand up against them.
"ow." Seeing Ruan Jianguo standing up for her, Ruan Jiaojiao imdiately smiled, her little head nuzzling against his hand like she was being coquettish, and was then scooped up into his arms by Ruan Jianguo.
A big, burly man holding a tiny kitten in his arms, doting on it freely—such a sight was quite a spectacle, and passersby in the corridor looked at them with strange expressions. But Ruan Jianguo didn’t care at all, and continued to speak softly to Ruan Jiaojiao, as if she could truly understand him.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man actually felt a bit more connected to Ruan Jianguo, and he proactively asked, "How old is Brother Ruan’s daughter? Why hasn’t she co along this ti? Is she studying in Beidu?"
"No, she’s getting dical treatnt in Beidu. This ti, it’s a rare holiday, so the whole family went to visit him," Ruan Jianguo answered.
"I see," the middle-aged man nodded.
"And you, brother?" Ruan Jianguo casually countered.
"I’m also going to visit my daughter." ntioning this, the middle-aged man’s expression turned a bit worried, and he let out a sigh.
"Isn’t visiting your daughter a good thing? Why the sigh?" Ruanlin Family also joined in the conversation.
The middle-aged man looked at her, but didn’t answer, just shook his head and sighed, then turned to see Ruan Hao and Xiu Xi sitting quietly at the table: "And these two are..."
"Oh, this one is my son, and this one is my nephew," Ruan Jianguo said.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "That’s really fortunate, having both a son and a daughter." Then he fell silent again. For others, Xiu Xi’s eyes might be a point of curiosity, but he didn’t ask further, as if he didn’t notice them at all.
They had finished discussing their family matters thoroughly, but hadn’t learned anything about the other family. Seeing him pick up his book again, Ruan Jianguo felt a bit frustrated.
So, they didn’t talk anymore, still thinking it couldn’t be so coincidental; in such a big world, with so many people on the train, they happened to run into that Feng family.
As ti passed, the middle-aged man didn’t speak again. Ruan Jiaojiao, after eating, played for a while, and when she got tired, she climbed into Ruan Hao’s lap and fell asleep. Just as she closed her eyes, moaning sounds ca from soone nearby.
