Chapter 2344: Chapter 2344

But completely unexpectedly, she was like a traditional young lady from a noble family, exuding an air of literacy and gentleness, completely different from the person they had imagined.

For the elders, there are few who wouldn’t like this kind of demeanor.

Especially the Ruanlin Family, they were extremely satisfied.

After entering the house, Shu Jiao managed to stay calm, while the Ruanlin Family was very enthusiastic. Ruan Jianguo seemed like he was secretly rejoicing that his family’s pig had managed to snatch away some good cabbage, afraid the cabbage would run away. As soon as someone entered the door, he immediately shut it.

Having revealed some shortcomings in front of Xia Qia, she still remembered her, and Ruan Jiaojiao always felt a bit embarrassed about it, not as warm as she had been towards Wen Shu before. As the Ruan Family surrounded her and walked her inside, she stayed at the back with Duan Xi and Ruan Hao.

Once in the living room, Xia Qia sat down and Ruan Jie sat next to her.

Ruan Jiaojiao felt a bit uneasy and was just about to go to the kitchen to get some fruit when Ruan Jie called out to her, "Jiaojiao, come over, we haven’t finished talking."

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

"Uh, I’ll go to the kitchen to grab some fruit, and I’ll be right back," she explained. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

"Yes, bring out the fruit, I just cut the cantaloupe, it’s sweet," Ruan Dakuan said, but directed it towards Ruan Jie and even kicked his calf, "Go, get the fruit, don’t expect your sister to serve you!"

Ruan Jie wasn’t bothered by the kick and got up to walk towards Ruan Jiaojiao, then pinched her collar behind her neck and went into the kitchen together.

Once in the kitchen, Ruan Jie found the fruit platter that the Ruanlin Family had cut earlier, picked it up, saw Ruan Jiaojiao standing at the door with her mouth pinched, looking out with amusement, and joked, "Sneaking around?"

Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, her expression somewhat listless.

"What’s wrong?" Ruan Jie stuffed a piece of cantaloupe into her mouth; she chewed but still looked a bit deflated.

"Don’t like this second sister-in-law?"

Ruan Jiaojiao shook her head.

She was worried that Xia Qia had a bad impression of her.

The first time she met her, she overheard her badmouthing others, and the second time, even when she saw Xia Qia having trouble, she didn’t offer to help, making her worry that Xia Qia thought she was someone who loved to gossip behind people’s backs and was particularly cold.

"What’s really wrong, you really don’t like her?" Ruan Jie turned serious.

One was someone he liked, the other his most-loved sister, Ruan Jie was genuinely worried these two couldn’t coexist.

Ruan Jiaojiao shook her head and explained those two encounters to him, particularly embarrassed.

Originally hoping he’d help explain afterward, but unexpectedly, upon hearing it, Ruan Jie’s eyes widened: "Wow, is history really this similar?"

Then, thinking of something, he laughed so hard that he couldn’t straighten his back.

Ruan Jiaojiao jumped up to cover his mouth, glared at him, and glanced out of the kitchen to make sure no one in the living room was noticing before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Ruan Jie removed her small hand, pinching it, and asked her, "Do you know under what circumstances your brother met her for the first time?"

"Hmm?"

Ruan Jie’s initial meeting with Xia Qia was even more "embarrassing" than Ruan Jiaojiao’s.

Ruan Jie, usually stationed at the military camp, rarely took a vacation to go home, but once a friend’s birthday coincided. Their entertainment wasn’t much nowadays, birthdays were mostly about eating and then going to karaoke bars to sing and dance, so that’s what happened that time too.
