"Okay." Shu Jiao nodded, forced a smile, and said, "Thank you."
When the three returned to the Ruan Family, Jiaojiao and the others were preparing to go to the movies.
Seeing Shu Jiao return, Jiaojiao immediately said: "Mom, there are some leftovers for you in the pot, Iām going to the movies with Brother Xi and them."
Actually, at this time, Jiaojiao should have stayed at home, but for some reason, Jiaojiao felt like staying home was like waiting to die, and she didnāt want to wait so pessimistically. So when Yang Tao invited her to a movie this morning, she agreed.
Shu Jiao had just had a fallout with the Yuan Family, and with Nanny Liu having a past of snatching people away, Shu Jiao didnāt want Jiaojiao to go out now. Who knows if the Yuan Family would go insane again at this time and be unreliable.
However, seeing Jiaojiao looking so energetic, she couldnāt bear to keep her at home, and as she was hesitating whether to accompany her, Qin Qiong beside her smiled and said, "Jiaojiao, I havenāt watched a movie in a long time either, why not include me?"
Qin Qiong was really handsome, the kind of devilishly handsome. Even without smiling he was captivating, but when he smiled, he was soul-capturing.
Jiaojiao, feeling flustered under his gaze, couldnāt refuse and kept nodding her little head, "Sure, sure."
Beside her, Xiu Xi quietly walked between her and Qin Qiong, blocking Jiaojiaoās line of sight, and even picked up her left hand, holding it tightly to declare his sovereignty.
Jiaojiao didnāt realize his sinister intentions, nor did she mind having an adult accompany them to the movie, so she cheerfully called everyone to set off for the movie together.
Lu Zishu trailed far behind, obviously having stayed up all night with Ruan Lei, but Ruan Lei was full of energy, acting as if nothing had happened, while he just wanted to close his eyes and sleep like a wilting eggplant.
But Ruan Lei wouldnāt let him miss out on such a group activity, so he could only squint his eyes and trail at the back, planning to continue sleeping once they got to the cinema.
In these past two years, with the rapid economic development, cinemas were no longer just small, dark rooms that started screening when enough people gathered, but now had proper schedules and auditoriums.
Yang Tao had already picked the best seats and was waiting at the cinema entrance for Jiaojiao and the gang. Unexpectedly, Yang Men was not far behind Yang Tao, pretending to be casual. She cast a glance at them and then looked away, as if she wasnāt with Yang Tao.
Jiaojiao didnāt like Yang Men, really didnāt like her at all. Yang Tao knew this well, and hurriedly explained while pulling her aside: "I didnāt arrange to meet her, she followed on her own, thereās nothing I could do."
After all, the cinema belonged to the Yang Family, and the Yang Men family had shares in it too, she really couldnāt prevent her from watching.
Jiaojiao wasnāt an unreasonable person. Although she didnāt like Yang Men, she didnāt say anything and just pointed to Qin Qiong to introduce him, "This is my uncle Qin, he wants to watch the movie with us, could you get one more ticket?"
"Of course." Seeing Jiaojiao wasnāt angry, Yang Tao breathed a sigh of relief, patted her own chest, and said: "Donāt worry, leave it to me, Iāll go get an extra ticket."
She paused, hesitated a bit, and said: "Itās just that the seat might not be with us, Jiaojiao, is that okay?" Although this question was directed at Jiaojiao, her gaze was on Qin Qiong.
