Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Electric Fan (2)_1

He had thought that by the time he got home his mom would realize that he was a loving father who doted on his daughter, but unexpectedly, someone else had stolen that opportunity from him.

And that person was the godfather he had joyfully chosen for his daughter not long ago!

"Big Brother Ruan, you’re back, huh? You headed out so early, what were you up to?" Zhao Li made herself at home in the Ruan Family’s main hall, slurping noodles, while beside her Lu Zhiwei was cuddling an electric fan, teasing Ruan Jiaojiao who was eating breakfast.

When he looked up and saw Ruan Jianguo holding an electric fan of the same brand as his own, he even had a look of disapproval, "Jianguo, why did you buy one too? Such a waste of money."

"..." Ruan Jianguo thought, no, this is my house, this is my daughter, shouldn’t I be the one to buy the electric fan?

"Big Brother Ruan went out early in the morning just to buy an electric fan? That’s quite a coincidence. I was thinking it’s been so hot recently, I was afraid Jiaojiao wouldn’t be able to sleep, so I went out and bought one yesterday. I was just delayed a bit by some stuff last night, and only got to deliver it today. But I didn’t expect us to bump into each other like this, seems like destiny, huh?" Zhao Li said, chuckling gleefully.

But Ruan Jianguo didn’t feel like laughing at all. He had been scolded by the Ruanlin Family first thing in the morning, and had barely managed to buy the fan first thing, only to end up getting no credit for it, as someone else had taken the credit. He felt very tired.

His own mother thought he didn’t love his daughter enough, his brother wanted to steal his fatherly credit... oh, and there was also that bratty kid, always trying to show off in front of his daughter...

Ruan Jianguo had initially held the fan with pride, hoping to impress his daughter, but now... he deflated, listlessly sitting down on a chair to the side.

Zhao Li and Lu Zhiwei exchanged puzzled glances, completely unaware of what was going on with him.

Emerging from the kitchen, the Ruanlin matriarch glanced at him disapprovingly and cheerfully said to the couple, "Don’t mind him, come on, eat up, the noodles will get soggy."

Lu Zhiwei slurped up a noodle and immediately gave a thumbs up, "Aunt Ruan, your cooking is truly unmatched!"

"Hahaha, if you like it, come over often. I might not have much money, but I’ve got plenty of food, and I’ll make sure you’re well fed," the Ruanlin matriarch joked, passing by Ruan Jianguo. She glanced at the fan beside him with disdain and said, "Look at him, then look at you..." she shook her head, the disappointment evident on her face.

"..." Ruan Jianguo felt very frustrated.

"All right, you’re such a big man, can’t you sit properly? Sit down nicely," the Ruanlin matriarch scolded, bringing a bowl of noodles to Ruan Jianguo as she came out of the kitchen again. Only then did Ruan Jianguo start to feel a bit more alive.

After eating, Lu Zhiwei stopped joking around and took Ruan Jianguo to another room to discuss business.

The reason for his visit was to show Ruan Jianguo the electric fan he had brought. They planned to head south this time, and the first batch of goods they intended to bring in was this electric fan, although there was no rush for now. They probably wouldn’t start in earnest until next summer since this summer was nearing its end.

However, radios were selling well at the moment, so he planned to stick with that for now.

After discussing for a long time, over two hours, they finally came out.

Ruan Jiaojiao and several boys, including some from the old house, were all lined up in front of the electric fan, enjoying the breeze, each holding a chunk of watermelon and munching away in sheer contentment.

Walking up to them, Ruan Jianguo gave each of their heads a pat and said with a chuckle, "You guys really know how to enjoy yourselves."
