The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 1700: A Family United by Heart Attacks (7)

"If you dare to mess with Xiaoxi today, then Ruan Hao will be the head of this family from now on, and you won’t need to come back anymore."

Ruan Jianguo was about to step out, but his foot froze mid-air, unable to land.

He was not originally the head of the family, so that didn’t scare him, but the latter part did!

However, Ruan Jianguo felt he couldn’t be such a coward, so he braced himself and muttered, "I think there’s still some vegetables outside that need to be brought in, I’ll go check..."

He said this while heading out of the living room.

Ruanlin Family gave him a speechless glance. Seeing that he was indeed lingering in the yard and hadn’t left, she finally felt at ease.

Ruan Jianguo couldn’t eat anything, wandering around outside over and over, eventually getting so angry that he picked up his cell phone to call Duan Qianyang.

Duan Qianyang had both a public and a private phone, and naturally, Ruan Jianguo called the private one. As soon as the call connected, he sneered, "Duan Qianyang, you sure raised a good son!"

"???" Duan Qianyang was a bit baffled.

This wasn’t the first time he had received a call from Ruan Jianguo. Since the last time they had held a university entrance exam banquet for Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi, the two had developed a revolutionary camaraderie and gained an extraordinary rapport, becoming much closer.

He hadn’t expected to receive such a call from Ruan Jianguo out of the blue and was stunned. Before he could get a word in, Ruan Jianguo sarcastically said this and then hung up. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Duan Qianyang was even more confused now. What was going on?

When Shu Jiao returned home from the hospital that night, the first thing she saw was Ruan Jianguo pacing back and forth in the room.

She glanced over, frowned, and asked, "Why aren’t you sleeping, pacing around at such an hour?"

"Wife." Seeing Shu Jiao was like seeing a lifeline for Ruan Jianguo. He stepped forward, rapidly explaining everything that had happened during the day.

At the end, he said, "Do you think mom is getting senile? Jiaojiao is so young, how can she be engaged already?"

"Don’t talk nonsense." Shu Jiao glared at him, paused, and continued, "Indeed, we can’t just let this engagement happen."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Jianguo’s eyes brightened, thinking Shu Jiao was siding with him. But her next words instantly crushed his hopes as Shu Jiao added, "The engagement must be initiated by the Duan Family."

Shu Jiao wasn’t someone to be pedantic, but that didn’t mean others weren’t. She couldn’t give others the chance to say her daughter was eagerly trying to marry into the Duan Family, so the Duan Family needed to make the first move.

She furrowed her brows and swiftly came up with a plan. Tomorrow would be Ruan Jiaojiao’s last day of military training, with a two-day vacation after the morning review. She intended to have Duan Xi and Duan Qianyang propose the engagement then.

"What?" Ruan Jianguo.

"Alright, you go to sleep first, I’ll take a shower," Shu Jiao said. Before entering the bathroom, she suddenly remembered something and turned to Ruan Jianguo, "When they come back tomorrow, don’t take your anger out on Xiaoxi, consider what he’s done for your daughter."

"..." Ruan Jianguo.

He did consider it! He wasn’t even opposed to him becoming his son-in-law in the future!

But his beloved child was only fifteen! How could it be so early!

Staring at Shu Jiao’s back as she entered the bathroom, Ruan Jianguo wore a bitter expression, feeling that life was truly difficult.

Meanwhile, at school, Ruan Jiaojiao had no idea that because of her actions during the day, her family had already arranged her engagement.
