When they finally ran to the zoo entrance, Ruan Jianguo stuffed Ruan Jiaojiao into the car. Not seeing any animals chasing them, he let out a sigh of relief.
He panted heavily and said to Ruan Jiaojiao, "Sweetheart, stay in the car and don’t run around. Daddy’s going to fetch your mom."
"Okay." Ruan Jiaojiao nodded earnestly, peering out the car window, obedient as ever.
About ten minutes later, Ruan Jianguo ca out with Shu Jiao, and the father-daughter duo wasn’t following them. Ruan Jiaojiao’s heart was delighted, and she imdiately bead, squirming in her seat.
As Shu Jiao sat down, she pretended to ask, "Mom, is Uncle Dai okay? Did he get hurt?"
"What do you think?" Shu Jiao glanced at her lightly.
Ruan Jiaojiao snorted. Despite feeling guilty, she didn’t think she was wrong: "Mom, that Uncle Dai and his daughter are no good. I t that Dai An yesterday, and she’s just like her dad, always trying to steal people’s stuff, all conceited!"
After saying that, Ruan Jiaojiao recounted yesterday’s events, exaggerating as she went. Ruan Jianguo, driving upfront, chid in, "They said our precious has no manners, I think it’s their family that’s uncultured!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jiaojiao imdiately felt aggrieved: "Yeah, Jiaojiao is so good, right mom?"
The little girl’s face was flushed, her eyes watery, deliberately pouting her lips, tugging at her sleeve, and blinking pitifully, indeed making her look adorably pitiable.
Seeing her daughter like this, Shu Jiao, who was initially trying to keep a straight face, softened at once, reaching over to ruffle her hair as a gesture of comfort, but still said, "Next ti, unless Xiaoxi approves, you’re not allowed to co to the zoo."
As for the matter with Dai Jian, she didn’t comnt further.
She truly was tricked by Dai Jian today. After realizing his intentions, she intended to settle it peacefully, but this father and daughter turned it into such a ss.
On second thought, it was a relief; it spared them trouble in the future. Judging by Dai Jian’s character and the daughter he raised, partnering in business with him didn’t seem wise.
If he couldn’t uphold basic human decency, how could one expect him to have principles in business??
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded obediently: "Mm-hmm." After today’s incident, even if she were given a hundred chances, she wouldn’t dare co on her own.
Shu Jiao didn’t return to the Ruan Family ho, so Ruan Jianguo could only drive to the Ruan Family hotel.
Ruan Jiaojiao got out of the car with them, and as she did, she rembered sothing, quickly taking out her phone to call Ruan Chi, telling him that yesterday’s matter had backfired and to be careful.
Ruan Chi laughed and agreed on the other side. Ruan Jiaojiao originally wanted to ask him about Yang Xiaona, but she rembered what Shu Jiao had told her before, so she held back.
After hanging up the phone, she felt a bit downcast.
Shu Jiao glanced at her; she also overheard the phone call and didn’t need to ask to know what was troubling Ruan Jiaojiao.
She didn’t question her because, in her eyes, Ruan Jiaojiao had already made significant progress.
Ruan Jiaojiao’s personality was indeed akin to Ruan Jianguo’s. Outwardly they could be as fierce as lions and tigers, but internally, they were paper tigers, easily broken with a prick.
