Chapter 2442: Chapter 2442

Shu Jiao looked at him irritably, but when her gaze fell on Ruan Jiaojiao, it was full of tenderness: "Xiaoxi might not come back tonight, you should go to bed early."

Ruan Jiaojiao covered her small mouth with her hand, yawned, and then rubbed her tear-filled eyes before saying: "No, Brother Xi will come back. I’ll wait for him."

Saying so, she yawned again and closed her eyes.

Ruan Jianguo wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shu Jiao’s look, and Ruan Jiaojiao fell asleep leaning on the sofa with her eyes half-closed.

About ten minutes later, Shu Jiao got up, directing Ruan Jianguo to come and carry her.

But as soon as Ruan Jianguo picked her up, the sound of a car driving in could be heard from outside, followed by the excited howling of Meat Meat. Since Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t sleeping deeply, she opened her eyes as soon as Meat Meat started howling.

And outside, Duan Xi had already walked in.

Ruan Jiaojiao immediately twisted in Ruan Jianguo’s arms, and as soon as he bent over, she ran towards Duan Xi without hesitation, leaving Ruan Jianguo feeling a pang of jealousy.

Indeed, daughters growing up is like losing them to someone else!

As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao reached Duan Xi, she looked up and asked: "Brother Xi, how’s it going?"

"It’s fine, but Duan Sishu’s death is quite suspicious," Duan Xi said.

"What’s suspicious?" Ruan Jianguo was still upset that Ruan Jiaojiao turned to someone else so quickly. Seeing this presence that led his daughter astray, he couldn’t help but snorted: "Could she have been poisoned to death!!"

"..." Duan Xi.

His green eyes looked over.

Ruan Jianguo gulped his words without any other meaning, just blurted out without thinking.

But now seeing Duan Xi’s reaction, he couldn’t help shrinking his neck: "Wouldn’t it be ridiculous in this day and age, someone actually poisoning someone to death?"

Seeing Duan Xi not speaking, Shu Jiao knew this was probably complicated, and signaled Duan Xi to explain.

Duan Xi didn’t hide anything, and came in to share what he knew: "Duan Sishu did not die naturally; she died from chronic poisoning, over a period of three to four months."

"You sniffed it out?" Ruan Jiaojiao knew he had this ability.

Duan Xi nodded.

Ruan Jiaojiao felt conflicted inside, reaching out to hold his hand.

Shu Jiao continued to ask: "Did you tell your father?"

"Yes."

Shu Jiao nodded in satisfaction: "Good, as long as you told him. As for the rest, your father will naturally handle it."

As for the rest, it had nothing to do with them.

She looked at the time, and said to Ruan Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, it’s very late now. You have to get up early tomorrow, hurry up and go to sleep."

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, but when she returned to her room, she found that although she was feeling exhausted before, now she couldn’t sleep at all.

Sitting on her bed, waiting for Duan Xi to climb in through the window, she snuggled into his arms and couldn’t help but ask him softly: "Brother Xi, who do you think did it?"

Chronic poison, three or four months...

Although Duan Sishu was part of the Duan Family, her social circle had been quite simple since she got married. To administer chronic poison over such a period, this person...

Ruan Jiaojiao wondered whether she was being too cynical for thinking of that person.

But she felt it was unlikely, she had no motive, how would poisoning Duan Sishu benefit her?
