The Ruanlin Family heard the noise and came out of the kitchen, only to see the backs of the father and daughter as they chased out, with Jiaojiao already being stuffed into the passenger seat by Ruan Jianguo.
The Ruanlin Family anxiously walked to the passenger seat and scolded Ruan Jianguo: "What are you crazy about so early in the morning, the child hasnât had breakfast yet, where are you dragging her away to."
"Mom, I bought breakfast for her." Ruan Jianguo quickly handed a paper package to Ruan Jiaojiao and continued: "Mom, Iâm taking Jiaojiao out for a walk, we wonât be back for lunch, so donât prepare lunch for us."
Ruan Jiaojiao watched the increasingly blurry figure of the Ruanlin Family through the side mirror, while unwrapping the paper package, taking out a corn cob and munching on it, asking unclearly: "Dad, you didnât explain clearly on the phone, whatâs going on?"
"Do you remember that Uncle Dai we met at the mall last time?" Ruan Jianguo gritted his teeth.
"Yes, I remember." Ruan Jiaojiao nodded.
"The shameless one, he wants to be your stepfather!" Ruan Jianguo said angrily.
"No way? That Uncle Dai doesnât look young, he probably has a family."
"Iâve inquired, his wife passed away ages ago, heâs here to steal your dadâs place." The more Ruan Jianguo spoke, the angrier he got, he told Ruan Jiaojiao everything he had recently discovered.
Dai Jian returned to Beidu before the New Year, Beidu isnât too small, but also not too big, if someone really wants to find something out, itâs quite easy, like the issue between Ruan Jianguo and Shu Jiao, although the divorce wasnât publicly announced, Shu Jiao rarely returns to the Ruan Family these days, sheâs mostly staying at the Shu Family, anyone with sharp eyes could see something fishy.
Dai Jian had a fondness for Shu Jiao since their school days, but fate had them go their separate ways, he went abroad, she went to the countryside, both started families.
His wife passed away over a decade ago, he tried finding a few wives before but none worked out, coming back domestically this time, he intended to expand the domestic market, just happened to find out about Shu Jiaoâs marital issues, couldnât help but entertain some ideas.
These days, under the guise of expanding the domestic mobile market, he often invited Shu Jiao out to discuss matters, and today Ruan Jianguo discovered that he even brought their daughter along to meet at the zoo entrance, the moment Ruan Jianguo called Jiaojiao, they were already strolling through Beidu Zoo like a "happy family of three!"
Ruan Jianguo was seething, so he brought Ruan Jiaojiao out.
After hearing Ruan Jianguoâs explanation, Ruan Jiaojiao frowned, immediately losing her appetite, she put down the corn cob that looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, and said: "Dad, momâs not like that."
"Of course your momâs not like that," Ruan Jianguo excitedly said, "But that scoundrel is, he must have tricked your mom to the zoo, sweetie, you need to help dad, stepdads are all bad news, understand?"
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, feeling a bit better in her heart.
Itâs the weekend, the zoo is crowded, even when the car was parked outside, it was already a sea of people.
Ruan Jiaojiao had been in Beidu for so long but never visited the zoo, because of the uproar caused at Changling Zoo when she was little that was unforgettable to this day, she even brought Xiaohuang home afterward, from then on she dared not wander around zoos.
"Sweetie, wait here for dad, dadâs going to buy tickets." After parking the car, Ruan Jianguo said to Ruan Jiaojiao.
