Chapter 1764: Engagement Banquet (Part 16)

Later, Jiaojiao specially spent a weekend with him, only then did Old Shu turn the page.

However, as the man Jiaojiao loves the most, Old Shu would not forget, and would bring it out to tease the young man across from him whenever necessary.

"Brat, did you see that? Don’t think that getting engaged means anything, our beloved still loves me the most!" Old Shu proudly puffed out his chest.

"..." Duan Xi looked at Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao kept blinking and silently mouthed something.

Duan Xi pursed his lips, not knowing what he thought of, but unusually didn’t challenge Old Shu.

Old Shu felt his objective was achieved and, satisfied, sensibly handed Jiaojiao’s hand to Duan Xi, not forgetting to put out some strong words: "Brat, let me tell you, you’re only engaged! Engaged, understand? If you ever dare to treat Jiaojiao badly, the consequences... hmph, you better weigh them carefully."

Duan Xi took her small hand that he passed over, interlocking their fingers tightly.

Old Shu looked at the pair’s interlocked hands, feeling a pang of heartache, but causing further trouble would make him seem unreasonable. He couldn’t bear to make a scene at Jiaojiao’s engagement party, so he pretended not to see it, leaning on his cane and taking small steps away, with Qin Qiong immediately coming over to support him.

Old Shu looked at him, and then at the other side where Ruan Jianguo, under Shu Jiao’s threat, tried to smile but failed, his expression appearing somewhat twisted. He sighed deeply and said, "Quick, give your brother-in-law a few heart-saving pills, or I’m afraid he might pass out!"

Qin Qiong glanced over at Ruan Jianguo upon hearing this, almost bursting into laughter.

But realizing the situation at hand, he forcibly restrained himself.

Then he heard Old Shu say to him again, "Xiaoqin, when you and Xiaowen have children, make sure not to have a daughter. Just have a son, having a daughter is too worrisome..."

At this point, Old Shu sighed again.

Meanwhile, over on the other side, after Jiaojiao went to Duan Xi’s side, things were far from over. After all, she had so many brothers, who weren’t just there for show. Ruan Hao, who was relatively polite, said to Duan Xi, "Take good care of Jiaojiao."

Duan Xi nodded earnestly.

Next to him, Ruan Jie threatened, "If you dare treat my sister poorly, even though I can’t beat you, I’ll still fight you to the end."

"Xiaosi, stop with the fighting words, Xiaoxi wouldn’t do such a thing to Jiaojiao, right?" Ruan Jun.

"It’s okay, if you’re really hurt, at worst, your brother will treat you for free." Ruan Feng.

"If the treatment doesn’t work, it’s fine. Your brother will draw a black-and-white portrait of you for free." Ruan Bo.

"Of course, it’s best not to get divorced; otherwise, I will make sure you don’t even have a hair left." Ruan Chi smiled.

"Exactly! I’ll have my vast number of fans curse you every day, curse you to death!" Ruan Lei.

The brothers above had already given their harsh words, and still in high school, Ruan Wei and Ruan Qun, who seemed less significant, exchanged a glance. After thinking for a moment, they said in unison, "If you don’t treat our sister well, we... we won’t forgive you! We’ll fight you alongside Fourth Brother!"

When it was time to give their harsh words, they did so in order, and it was almost Lu Zishu’s turn. Anxiously scratching his head and trying hard to think of some harsh words, he couldn’t come up with anything.
