CapĂtulo 1801: Chapter 1801: The One I Needed to Guard Against Was Myself (7)
Meanwhile, Duan Xi was driving, and Jiaojiao was sitting in the passenger seat with a frown, feeling really troubled.
She turned her head and asked Duan Xi softly, âBrother Xi, do you think my mom is just scaring my dad? She canât be serious, right?â
Although the Ruanlin Family repeatedly urged her not to interfere, Jiaojiao was truly scared of them getting divorced. If they divorced, the family would fall apart! This was the happiness sheâd struggled for her whole life to achieve, and she was particularly afraid of losing it.
Duan Xi didnât answer, he just reached out and squeezed her small hand.
It was difficult to drive on snowy roads in winter. Jiaojiao and Duan Xi took nearly three hours on their way to the Shu Familyâs home.
When she arrived, Grandpa Shu, Ruan Hao, and Gu Zichen were sitting in the living room chatting. Seeing her come in, Grandpa Shu was initially happy, but then remembering something, his face stiffened. Before he could say anything, Gu Zichen approached, took her small hand warmly, and asked with concern, âItâs so late, have you eaten?â
Jiaojiao shook her head, having no appetite for food. âGrandpa, Aunt, Big Brother, Iâm not hungry. Whereâs my mom?â
âSheâs in her room. It would be good for you to go see her. But your health isnât that good, how can you skip meals? How about Aunt makes you two bowls of noodles?â
Jiaojiao nodded absent-mindedly and turned to run toward Shu Jiaoâs room.
When he heard Jiaojiao hadnât eaten before coming, Grandpa Shu felt bad for her, and he didnât care if she was here to coax Ruan Jianguo. He turned to Gu Zichen and said, âCook two more dishes. She likes them light. And make some soup. Let the wife of Old Liang do it. The little dear loves her cooking.â
After saying this, he couldnât help but glare at Duan Xi, âYou too, you know her health isnât good, couldnât you watch her? Letting her skip dinner! Indeed, no man is any good!â His words seemed to imply he wasnât one himself.
Gu Zichen chuckled and nodded, then turned to make a phone call. Although Liang Weiâan and his family also lived in this estate, they didnât live in this section.
Jiaojiao reached Shu Jiaoâs door and knocked lightly. At first, Shu Jiao didnât respond, but when Jiaojiao spoke, she came over to open the door.
In that instant when the door opened, and seeing Shu Jiaoâs reddened eyes, Jiaojiao was truly stunned.
She hadnât expected her, considering Shu Jiaoâs character, to cry over such matters. Shu Jiao was resilient, intelligent, and sensible, as if nothing in this world could challenge her.
Moreover, in their relationship, she had always been the one in control. Jiaojiao truly hadnât expected that one day Shu Jiao would also cry over feelings.
âMom.â Jiaojiao, who had drafted so many speeches in the car, ultimately distilled it into one word.
Shu Jiao, with red eyes, gave her a small smile, squeezed her little hand, then frowned and said, âItâs so cold, and itâs snowing, why did you come?â
âMom.â Jiaojiao stepped inside and gave her a big hug, laying her head on her shoulder, and said with a whimper, âI missed you. I heard you were at Grandpaâs, so I rushed over.â
As for Ruan Jianguoâs issue, she didnât mention it at all.
But someone as clear-minded as Shu Jiao would naturally understand. She gently hugged her back and said, âYou child, even your mom you try to coax. Given this weather, it must have taken you a long time to get here. Did you skip dinner? Your health isnât great, not eating dinner is harmful.â
