CapĂtulo 1699: Chapter 1699: A Family United by Heart Attacks (6)
âXiaoxi is doing just fine, what kind of bad ideas could he possibly have? Ruan Jianguo, Iâm telling you, Xiaoxi is a great kid in every way, Shu Jiao and I are very satisfied. Donât go looking for trouble!â Ruanlinâs tone turned severe.
In her eyes, Duan Xi was truly a one-in-a-million child, she couldnât be happier, and she didnât understand what Ruan Jianguo was fussing about all day long.
Although, itâs said that there arenât many fathers-in-law who truly appreciate their sons-in-law, but shouldnât this depend on the situation?
For example, with the fat pig in her family, itâs understandable that Mr. Shu thinks little of him. After all, he has nothing to offer and is certainly not a match for Shu Jiao. But Duan Xi is different, he has it all! Out there, you couldnât find a better son-in-law even with a lantern.
âMom, itâs not that Iâm fussing! Itâs that the boy is not being honest. Do you know what heâs doing at school? Our little darling is still so young, and he dares to temptâŠâ Ruan Jianguo started to babble on, deliberately ignoring the fact that, actually, it was his little cabbage who voluntarily offered herself up.
But who was Ruanlin? She instantly caught the loophole in his words and asked, âSo what youâre saying is that it was little darling who brought it up first?â
âUm⊠Mom, thatâs not the pointâŠâ Ruan Jianguo tried to change the subject.
âIâm just asking you if itâs true or not, you just need to answer yes or no.â Ruanlin was getting impatient.
ââŠâ Ruan Jianguo.
âYes.â
Ruanlin instantly smiled, her eyes full of joy: âWell, thatâs great. When you have time, give the in-laws a call, see when you can set something up. Arenât rich people into these kinds of things? Letâs catch up with the trend too, and get little darling and Xiaoxi engaged.â
â!!!â Ruan Jianguo.
He widened his eyes in disbelief as he looked at Ruanlin, doubting if his ears were playing tricks on him.
That little wolf pup took away his little darling, and not only can he not beat him or break his legs, he actually has to rush to arrange an engagement, has he gone mad?!!!
âAre you treating my words as if they just drift past your ears now?â
âMom! How old is Jiaojiao, how could she be getting engaged already!â Ruan Jianguo was completely unwilling.
âEngagement is not marriage, what about age? Thatâs settled, you donât need to worry about this anymore, Iâll discuss it directly with your wife.â Ruanlin was genuinely happy.
Duan Xi was someone the Ruan Family watched grow up. Not only did they know everything about him, but no one was as good to Ruan Jiaojiao as he was. Previously, she was worried because it was evident to everyone in the Ruan Family how he felt, and Ruan Jiaojiao was very reliant on him too. But after all, she was still young and didnât yet understand the taste of love; she was truly afraid that when Ruan Jiaojiao grew up, her feelings for Duan Xi might not be romantic.
That would undoubtedly be a huge tragedy, especially when one party is deeply in love.
She didnât want anyone, whether it was Ruan Jiaojiao or Duan Xi, to get hurt.
But now everything was good, Ruan Jiaojiao had the same feelings for Xiaoxi, it was simply a happy situation for everyone.
As for everything else, she trusted Duan Xi. Though this child was not very talkative, among all the kids in the family, except for Ruan Hao, none were steadier than him. She believed he knew what to do.
Ruan Jianguo didnât expect matters to be decided so swiftly by Ruanlin. He was completely stunned but didnât dare to argue with Ruanlin. In the end, he just stiffened his neck and stormed out, but as he was about to take a step, he heard Ruanlinâs breezy voice.
