The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s Chapter 997: What a Coincidence (1)

He knelt before Old Master Shu, regardless of how drunk he looked right now or whether he could even hear his words, and sincerely said, "Dad, please believe . I will take good care of Xiaojiao. Life may be tough for now, but in the future, I promise I’ll make sure the two of them live well."

"And even if I make it big soday, I can guarantee that I’ll still treat Xiaojiao with love and care. I won’t ever let her down, no matter what. If I do, you can hit , scold , or do whatever you want."

Ruan Jianguo’s heartfelt words moved everyone. Shu Jiao looked at him with slightly reddened eyes. She trusted him, of course, but when a man is willing to kneel before your parents and swear to treat you well, it’s hard for a woman not to be moved.

Ruan Jiaojiao was deeply moved as well. Out of all the people she knew, she had never encountered anyone as devoted as Ruan Jianguo. He treated his wife so well—even her godfather Lu Zhiwei didn’t treat her godmother Zhao Li to this extent.

Everyone’s gaze shifted to Ruan Jianguo and Old Master Shu, waiting to see how the old man would react.

As Old Master Shu listened to these words, he remained silent. Everyone assud he had been touched, which was why he didn’t speak for so long. After over ten seconds, they suddenly saw Old Master Shu reach out and shove Ruan Jianguo.

With a cold snort, he sneered, "Make it big? Boy, even if you do, will you ever have as much money as I do?"

He jabbed Ruan Jianguo’s shoulder repeatedly with his finger, his face full of disdain. "Let tell you, boy—it’s not gonna happen!"

"..." Ruan Jianguo.

"..." Everyone else.

An indescribable expression swept across all their faces. Was his focus completely off?

Shu Jiao gave Ruan Jianguo a helpless look, signaling him to stand up. Old Master Shu was truly drunk, so drunk he’d lost all sense of reason. It was clearly ti to take him ho.

"Dad, you’ve had too much to drink. Let’s go ho now," she coaxed gently, reaching out to lift his arm while Ruan Jianguo stood up from the floor to support him on the other side.

But as soon as they touched him, Old Master Shu shoved them away.

He seed to morph into an entirely different person, pointing his finger in Ruan Jianguo’s face and shouting, "You brat! Get away from ! Don’t touch !" Then, turning to Shu Jiao, he whimpered pitifully, "Xiaojiao, I know. You’re ashad of your dad now."

"I know—you all despise . None of you like this old man anymore." He raised his finger, pointing at each person in turn.

First, he pointed at Ruan Hao. "You—barely co to see your grandpa all year round. You must not like your grandpa."

Then, he pointed at Ruan Jie. "Why are you so much like your dad? Why can’t you resemble soone from the Shu family? It’d make it easier for to be kind to you without feeling so guilty, instead of feeling like you’re so kind of traitor. Just looking at you makes angry!"

When he pointed at Ruan Jiaojiao, though, his expression turned soft, and he smiled warmly, radiating affection. "Such a sweet Little Jiaojiao—how could she be the child of that guy? It’s maddening! Little Jiaojiao, Grandpa likes you. Co live with Grandpa in Beidu, okay? Grandpa is richer than your dad. Your dad is a pauper! He can’t take proper care of you. Look how great Grandpa is! Stay here in Beidu with , okay? Grandpa promises to give you the best of everything."

Finally, when he turned his finger to Xiu Xi, Old Master Shu puffed up his cheeks angrily. "And as for you—don’t think I don’t know. You’re a sneaky brat! Beating at gas and not even showing so courtesy? No respect for your elders or kindness for the young at all!"
