Chapter 1536: Wedding Procession (Part 4)

Ruan Jiandang isn’t Ruan Jianguo. Although he’s made quite a bit of money over the years, he usually works behind the scenes in the Ruan Family’s business, helping with purchases and such. His relationships are simple, and most of his personal relationships are in Xiahe Village, so it’s best to hold the banquet there.

As soon as Jiaojiao entered the hotel, she saw a few older cousins who had arrived a bit earlier.

This time, Uncle Ruan’s wedding brought back both Ruan Jun and Ruan Chi, while Ruan Jie, Ruan Bo, and Ruan Feng are still studying at university and haven’t specially come back, and Ruan Hao was on a business trip a few days ago and didn’t make it in time.

However, at home, there are still Ruan Lei, Ruan Wei, and Ruan Qun.

When Jiaojiao came in, Ruan Wei and Ruan Qun were having breakfast. Ruan Qun waved over with a loud voice, "Sister, over here, come and eat something first, the new aunt isn’t ready yet."

"......" Jiaojiao.

Is this kid silly or what, shouting so loudly, afraid people can’t hear?

Jiaojiao turned to the three men behind her, "Brothers, Brother Xu, you go eat first, I’ll go see if auntie is ready."

The Ruan Family’s hotel has dormitories for the staff, and Jiaojiao knew where they were. When she found her way there, Liu Qingyun was having her hair done with the help of several staff members.

Jiaojiao peeked her little head through the door with a smile, and softly asked, "Second Aunt, may I come in?"

Inside, Liu Qingyun had already changed her clothes, wearing a bright red wool coat, her hair not yet completely styled. Hearing the voice, she turned to see Jiaojiao at the door, who made her blush with the "Second Aunt" address, feeling somewhat embarrassed, she awkwardly touched her hair.

Embarrassed, she said, "Jiaojiao, stop teasing me."

Jiaojiao laughed and walked in saying, "I’m not teasing, you really are my Second Aunt!" After she said that, she carefully observed her for a few seconds more, sincerely saying, "Second Aunt, my grandma used to say brides are the most beautiful. I didn’t believe it then, but now that I see you, I finally do!"

"You child, really... at forty-something years old, still talking about being a bride or not..." Liu Qingyun, embarrassed yet a bit flustered by Jiaojiao’s words, couldn’t help but smile, for which woman doesn’t like hearing compliments, no matter how much fluff there might be in them.

Affectionately, she looked at Jiaojiao and grabbed a large handful of wedding candies from a drawer. Even though she knew Jiaojiao likely didn’t lack candy, she kept stuffing them into Jiaojiao’s pocket until it was packed full. She then said, "It might take a while here, Jiaojiao, you go out to eat something so you don’t go hungry."

With age, Jiaojiao wasn’t as fond of candy as she was as a child, but these were wedding candies, so naturally, she accepted them happily, thanked her with a smile, and walked out with the candy.

After she left, the staff helping with the hairstyling watched the direction she left, and one couldn’t help but sigh, "That child is becoming more and more beautiful, there’s no such striking girl within a ten-mile radius. She’s already like this now, I can’t imagine how stunning she’ll be when she’s grown."

Liu Qingyun nodded, the affection in her eyes yet to fade.

But another younger one couldn’t help but roll her eyes, fiddling with a few red silk flowers, murmuring under her breath, "Anyone born into a family like that would turn out good-looking!"
