Chapter 509: Chapter 509 Jiaojiao is a Little Lucky Star (10)_1

The Lu Family is considered a wealthy household in this area, with quite a reputation, so naturally, most people seek to curry favor with them. This includes Zhao Li’s birthday celebrations, where uninvited guests would show up just to ingratiate themselves with her family.

Zhao Li is a hearty person, but she’s not someone just anyone can get close to, so when others saw her going out to greet a guest personally, they couldn’t help but glance toward the entrance.

"My dear baby has finally arrived," Zhao Li had been eagerly awaiting, and now she was delighted to see Ruan Jiaojiao finally come.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, she ran up to it, and as soon as it stopped, she immediately scooped Ruan Jiaojiao out of it.

Lu Zishu, who was also sitting in the car, watched the scene quietly and jumped out on his own. He couldn’t even feel jealous of Ruan Jiaojiao because he was so used to it by now.

After hugging Ruan Jiaojiao and planting two enthusiastic kisses on her cheek, Zhao Li turned her attention to the others, smiling at Shu Jiao, "I’ve been waiting so long for you guys, I was almost losing my eyesight from all the watching. Hey, where’s your aunt, why didn’t she come?"

"She’s still not feeling well, the car ride is quite bumpy, so she didn’t come. She said you should come over to our place next time and she’ll make it up to you for your birthday," Shu Jiao said with a smile.

"Hahaha, I’ll hold your aunt to her word," Zhao Li replied, laughing. Then she pulled Shu Jiao along, still hugging Ruan Jiaojiao, and called Ruan Jianguo and the others to come inside.

The Lu Family wasn’t short on money; they lived in a duplex apartment, which at that time was considered incredibly luxurious.

The interior decoration mostly consisted of rosewood, showing both luxurious taste and style.

Ruan Jiaojiao was seated on the sofa with a plate of candies pressed into her hands to eat and hold, eliciting the envy of several little girls nearby who coveted the sweets but didn’t dare take more due to their parents’ instructions.

As Zhao Li let Ruan Jiaojiao hold the plate of candies and fed her one, she watched her munch happily and laughed in joy. While introducing her to others, her words carried both indulgence and pride.

Being shrewd, everyone could see how much she adored her goddaughter and lavished her with flattery accordingly.

Before actually seeing her, they had thought she might be some country bumpkin who had the honor, but once they saw her appearance and Shu Jiao’s temperament, they realized this girl was probably a "Golden Phoenix" that had just landed in their rural backwater.

They were curious about her background, but no matter how they tried to probe, Shu Jiao merely smiled faintly and skillfully deflected the conversation.

When it was half-past twelve noon, Lu Xian and Ruan Jie, who were both in middle school, had taken leave and rushed back home, and Zhao Li finally announced it was time to eat.

A hired chef had prepared two big tables of dishes, one table for the men and one for the women.

The younger children didn’t sit at the tables; they had their meals handed to them and squatted near the living room table to eat.

Zhao Li wanted to keep Ruan Jiaojiao by her side, but since Ruan Jiaojiao preferred to be in the living room, Zhao Li let her go.

"Jiaojiao, sit here, there are no more stools, you can use this," Lu Xian said, bringing a stack of books from his room and placing them on the floor for Ruan Jiaojiao to sit on.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xian," Ruan Jiaojiao said sweetly, thanking him and sitting down with her bowl filled with a big chicken drumstick.

Xiu Xi shot Lu Xian a glance and forcefully wedged himself between the two.

"..." Lu Xian stumbled a bit from being squeezed and took a large step back, but Ruan Jie beside him reached out to steady him.
