Chapter 512: Chapter 512 Those deep dark eyes (3)_1

"How I raise my child is none of your business. I should be the one asking you, how do you raise your daughter? Calling my guest ’little country bumpkin’ and ’rural girl’ right in front of me—is this the upbringing you’ve given her? You’ve really opened my eyes!"

"You... you..." Lu Meili was rendered speechless by Zhao Li’s retort, stuttering in her rage. She turned her head and yelled at Lu Zhiwei, "Lu Zhiwei, look at the wife you’ve married! She talks to me like this, and you’re not going to do anything about it?"

On the other side, Lu Zhiwei rubbed his temples, truly exhausted.

He stood up, walked over, and lowered his voice, "Big sister, today is Zhao Li’s birthday. Can’t you give her a break? And Jiaojiao is our honored guest. How does it look when you keep calling her a ’rural girl’?"

"So you’re blaming me now!" Lu Meili was about to explode with anger, incredulously staring at Lu Zhiwei, unable to believe he was actually siding with an outsider against her.

Her chest heaved with intense fury, and finally, she grabbed Liu Nini, who was still crying, and said, "Fine, very well, today I have seen you and your wife’s true colors. So cruelly good, such a broken place, and I won’t come again if you beg me. Let’s go!"

After speaking, she scooped up Liu Nini and stormed out the door. As she approached the exit, her steps slowed, hoping someone would follow, but feeling no one coming after her, she stomped down the stairs in a huff.

Lu Zhiwei was clearly accustomed to such scenes. Seeing her leave, he actually sighed in relief. He turned and tenderly comforted Zhao Li by holding her arm, then told everyone not to mind and to continue with the meal.

Seeing Zhao Li return to her place, Shu Jiao looked at her worriedly. Zhao Li picked up Ruan Jiaojiao and instantly beamed with a smile, kissing her greasy little face covered in chicken juice, fondly saying, "My dear daughter is the best. Look how well-behaved she is."

Seeing her smile, Shu Jiao knew she probably couldn’t wait for that person to leave, so she didn’t bring up the unpleasant matter anymore.

After lunch, Ruan Jiaojiao and Shu Jiao were taken into a room by Zhao Li for a private chat. Seizing the opportunity, Jiaojiao brought out the gift she wanted to give. Shu Jiao had put it in a jewelry box, which looked respectable and polite.

She handed the jewelry box over with a smile and said cheerily, "I wish godmother happiness, health, and safety in the days to come, and that you stay beautiful forever."

"Hahaha! My little sweetie, how come your words are so sweet, my dear little treasure?" Hearing Ruan Jiaojiao’s sweet blessings, Zhao Li couldn’t stop laughing. Even though they were the simplest of well-wishes, she found them especially sweet coming from her goddaughter.

Ruan Jiaojiao blushed with embarrassment from the praise, urging, "Godmother, open the gift quickly."

"Okay, godmother will open it now. Let’s see what my dear daughter has sent." In Zhao Li’s heart, even if Ruan Jiaojiao had given her a blade of grass, she would have treasured it, such was her love for this daughter.

Shu Jiao sat quietly to the side, smiling gently, her eyes filled with emotion. Having someone with no blood relation love her daughter so unreservedly, she thought perhaps it was the universe making up for her daughter’s past life regrets, giving her double the love in this one.
