"..." Sitting on the other side and reading the newspaper, Old Master Shu shook the paper, his ears perked up, diligently listening to the commotion over here.
Watching the father and daughter question and answer each other as if they really were having a proper conversation, he sneered disdainfully.
But even so, Old Master Shu still patiently listened, hearing Ruan Jianguo’s extremely trivial words, spoke for over half an hour, but didn’t mention wanting Ruan Jiaojiao to return home, which finally allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, Ruan Jianguo symbolically greeted Old Master Shu from the other side, and then hung up the phone.
As soon as the call ended, Old Master Shu couldn’t help but mutter on the side, "Honestly, foolish with money to burn!"
Initially, the large mobile phone was expensive, over twenty thousand each, and upon installation, one had to prepay eighteen thousand in phone bills, the call charges were absurdly high, one minute was a dollar, thirty minutes cost thirty dollars.
Ruan Jianguo now frequently makes calls, three times a day, each lasting around half an hour, costing a hundred dollars in phone bills a day, which is equivalent to someone’s half-month salary, he spends it like water, indeed foolish with money.
Of course, at this moment, Old Master Shu forgot that when Ruan Jiaojiao was at home before, he was not much better than Ruan Jianguo, spending money as if it were nothing, making long calls with Ruan Jiaojiao for no reason, making it impossible for others to get through.
Old Master Shu’s disdain for Ruan Jianguo wasn’t just for a day or two; Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t bothered by his words.
After Xiu Xi hung up, it was still early, just after eight in the morning.
Ruan Hao returned to Qing University some days ago and met a former mentor, who seemed to ask him to help with something, so he’s been leaving early every day lately, Ruan Jiaojiao usually wakes up to find him gone.
Meanwhile, Shu Wen and Shu Lang have long left Beidu, Shu Lang returned to his workplace, Shu Wen doesn’t have a fixed place, but her company just started, is still in an unstable period, so she needs to travel everywhere to investigate, she’s incredibly busy every day, Qin Qiong is currently still in the "unemployed" state, naturally, wherever the wife goes, he follows, as soon as Shu Wen leaves, he packs his luggage and merrily follows her.
So now the garden is particularly quiet, Ruan Jiaojiao can’t go out, her daily activities are wandering around the estate, chasing birds, playing with the toys Old Master Shu bought her, like climbing frames.
But at around nine o’clock, the Shu Family received an unexpected call, on the other end was Duan Xin’s voice, "I heard from Uncle that you haven’t gone back yet, and today is the weekend, want to come out and play basketball?"
Even though Duan Qianyang didn’t let Xiu Xi return, he didn’t give up paving the way for him, the first path he paved was allowing Xiu Xi and Duan Xin to build a good relationship.
Duan Xin has always been quite interested in this cousin, although sometimes he feels a bit cold, but growing up alone as the only one in the Duan Family, finally having a cousin of similar age, even if the other is cold and indifferent to him, he’s quite delighted deep down.
So when Duan Qianyang suggested him to invite Xiu Xi out yesterday, he immediately agreed.
"Meow, go ahead, go ahead, Brother Xi."
Before Xiu Xi could answer, Ruan Jiaojiao excitedly called out. She had been bored in the garden for half a month, was almost growing mold, and really wanted to get out, stroll around, and see the sights.
