"Auntie, I’m going to give my dad so fruit first. These apples won’t taste good once they oxidize. This one’s for you, rember to eat it." Ruan Jiaojiao saw that she was about to ask more questions, so she quickly picked up the fruit bowl and stood up, heading towards the table where Ruan Jianguo was.
Seeing her leave, Wu Le couldn’t very well chase after her, so she resignedly picked up the fruit on the table to eat, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.
In this day and age, it’s not easy to raise a college student, and it’s even harder if they’re studying to be a doctor. It takes double the money and ti. Since Ruan Qun hasn’t gotten into college yet, Wu Le holds her son, Ruan Feng, in high regard, and naturally has high expectations for a daughter-in-law.
Even though students accepted into Qing University are certainly no slouches, in her eyes, her son is also outstanding. Naturally, his match should be soone with an equally good family background and social status, preferably a local girl from Beidu.
She noticed Liang Wenjing seed quite close with Ruan Feng last night, and speaking as soone who’s been through that age, she figured there might be sothing going on between those two.
It’s just that, not knowing Liang Wenjing’s family’s situation yet, makes her sowhat uneasy.
After Ruan Jiaojiao left the living room with the fruit plate, she let out a huge sigh of relief. She knew a bit about Liang Wenjing’s family background. It wasn’t great, and she was later adopted by relatives. Such circumstances might not et her fourth aunt’s standards.
Over the years, she’s co to understand her fourth aunt’s personality quite well. She doesn’t have major faults, but can be a bit snobby and stingy. Being a doctor is always seen as a stable job, an iron rice bowl, especially in the eyes of the older generation. Although Liang Wenjing is a student at Qing University, given that Ruan Feng is no worse, her aunt might place more value on the girl’s family background.
Especially in recent years, after the ss her fourth uncle caused, it seems she’s beco more concerned about money. She almost wished to wear gold and silver all over.
So when she asked about this situation, she didn’t dare to speak carelessly, fearing that saying the wrong thing might have an irrevocable impact on Ruan Feng and Liang Wenjing.
She delivered the fruit to the table and was then held by Ruan Jianguo for a chat that was mostly nonsense. Taking advantage of the mont when Wu Le wasn’t paying attention, she quietly sneaked behind Ruan Feng and pulled him into the kitchen to quietly tell him about what just happened.
"Brother Feng, I didn’t say anything wrong, really."
"I know." Ruan Feng looked at his adorable, well-behaved little sister in front of him, feeling incredibly soft-hearted: "I’ll talk to the family about this matter later, Jiaojiao, don’t worry."
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, looking at him. She couldn’t help but ask curiously and gossip a bit: "Brother Feng, do you like Sister Wenjing a lot?"
"You little kid, aren’t you embarrassed asking these things?" Ruan Feng laughed, trying to change the subject.
Ruan Jiaojiao instantly felt dissatisfied, lifting her head and saying, "I’m already engaged. Even middle schoolers understand these things. Why can’t I ask?"
Halfway through her words, she forcefully changed course and, feeling a bit guilty, turned and ran out of the kitchen. Just then, she happened to bump into Duan Xi, who was coming to the kitchen to find her. As their eyes t, thoughts of last night’s events flashed through Ruan Jiaojiao’s mind, and her face instantly flushed as she dashed back upstairs.
Even though Duan Xi didn’t know what had happened, he still chased after her.
Once Ruan Jiaojiao entered her room, she closed the door and leaned against it, trying to feel her reddened face.
