Chapter 2358: Chapter 2358

Seeing Jiang Xun’s car approaching, the three of them paused for a moment, their smiles slightly restrained.

Inside the car, Duan Sishu stared intently at Ruan Jiaojiao, his gaze as if he was looking at a real mischief-maker.

As the car drove away, Ruan Jiaojiao blinked and happily said, "Uncle Duan is so nice."

She originally thought she would dine with the three of them and wasn’t interested at all, but felt that leaving after agreeing to eat together wouldn’t be nice to Duan Qianyang, so she held on.

But when she saw Jiang Xun just drove away, she thought it must have been arranged by Duan Qianyang.

"It’s a good thing they left, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to eat," Duan Xin shrugged.

The three returned to the villa, and Duan Qianyang didn’t go to rest but helped Ms. Wu set the table. Seeing the three return, he immediately smiled and said, "You’re back, I was just about to call you. Go wash your hands, we’re about to eat."

Ruan Jiaojiao took off her coat, scarf, and gloves, obediently washed her hands, then leaned on the chair by the table, eyes full of delight, "Wow, it’s all my favorite, it looks so delicious."

"If you like it, have a couple more bowls, Jiaojiao, you’re still a bit too thin," Duan Qianyang said.

Ms. Wu, who was carrying out a large bowl of chicken soup, also said, "Miss Jiaojiao, if you like it, come often, I’ll cook for you."

"Aunt Wu’s cooking is so delicious, I’ll definitely come," Ruan Jiaojiao smiled sweetly, following behind her like a little tail, helping to bring the dishes and bowls in and out.

There’s no elder in the world who doesn’t like a sweet-talking junior, and with Ruan Jiaojiao being so pretty and sweet-tongued, as well as the daughter of the old friend Wen Shu, Ms. Wu liked her even more.

Ms. Wu is quick with her hands, having managed to prepare a whole table full of dishes in just over an hour. Although she was an old hand working for the Duan Family, her children did well and lived nearby. After preparing the meal, though reluctant, she didn’t stay to disturb their rare family gathering, arranging for her son to pick her up and go back home first.

Once Ms. Wu left, only the family was left at home, with no outsiders around, and Ruan Jiaojiao being so sweet-tongued, the lunch was harmonious, filled with laughter and joy.

After lunch, Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi didn’t hurry to leave, but instead, assisted Duan Qianyang back to his room, keeping him company, talking for a while. Seeing that he was looking fatigued and truly couldn’t hold on, the two of them quietly left the room.

Returning to the Ruan Family in the evening, Ruan Jiaojiao clung to the Ruanlin Family, asking her to teach her how to make bird’s nest soup.

The Ruanlin Family asked why she suddenly wanted to learn, and Ruan Jiaojiao explained, "Uncle Duan isn’t in good health, I want to prepare it for him."

Ruan Jianguo immediately felt a pang of jealousy, "Sweetheart, you haven’t made any for dad."

Ruan Jiaojiao turned to look at him, not the least bit guilty, "Dad, look at your health, can you compare with Uncle Duan? Besides, Uncle Duan is so pitiful."

With Wen Shu having passed early and his son not around, Duan Qirui and Duan Xin were clearly not attentive people, he was like a solitary person living in such a big house, she felt lonely just thinking about it for him.

The Ruanlin Family on hearing this had a quite different attitude, somewhat comforted, "That’s nice, our dear has grown up, becoming thoughtful."

"Indeed, the one I raised is now caring for others," Ruan Jianguo said in an eerie tone.
