The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s
Chapter 638 Buying a House for Accompanying Study (2)_1

"Hey, right, why didn’t I think of that!" Ruan the Tycoon immediately slapped his head in agreement, "Look, if we have guests at home, there’s not enough room. We should really buy a villa!"

"..." Shu Jiao.

Seeing that Shu Jiao was so angry she didn’t even want to speak, Ruan Jiaojiao felt she should be the considerate little cotton-padded jacket to rescue Ruan the Tycoon from dire straits. She poked her little head out from between their chairs, smiling at Ruan the Tycoon, "Dad, Jiaojiao can manage on her own, no need for you to accompany me anymore."

The family also had contracts for the mountains behind their house; all their raw materials came from there. If they really moved to the town, how would they do business in the future?

"That won’t do, my precious, you’re still young. At this little age, how can you live at school by yourself? You’re different from your brothers," Ruan the Tycoon didn’t realize his daughter was trying to save him and shook his head with a look of impossibility on his face.

He thought for a moment and realized there didn’t seem to be any small villas in the town, but there were some next to Madam Yuan’s place in the city.

But surely they couldn’t go and buy in the city, right?

Buying was possible, but he felt they should wait until Ruan Jiaojiao was in high school before making such a purchase.

After much contemplation, he then said to Shu Jiao, "Wife, I think we should buy a plot of land and build our own house, maybe right next to the middle school..."

"Then why don’t you just buy the entire school?" Shu Jiao asked.

"Buy the school too..." Ruan Jianguo was about to ask, can the school be bought too? But he suddenly realized what he was saying, turned his head toward Shu Jiao, and saw she was expressionless.

"Dad, I really can do it," Ruan Jiaojiao repeated from behind.

Moreover, middle school is not like high school where you only get a break once a month; it’s once a week here. Her summer clothes are light; she can easily hop on them a few times to get them clean. Her winter and spring-autumn clothes can wait to be brought back for washing on Fridays.

"My darling, you’re too young." It wasn’t that Ruan Jianguo didn’t have enough money to spend, but he was genuinely concerned for his daughter. Ruan Jiaojiao was only eight years old, and she wouldn’t be nine until October after starting junior high, while others were twelve or thirteen. She was so much younger than the others; how could he be at ease leaving her in school alone?

"Wife, darling is only going to be nine when school starts," Ruan Jianguo tried to remind her of this point.

"I know," Shu Jiao nodded, turned to look back at Ruan Jiaojiao, and said, "Jiaojiao, mommy has already applied for you to be a day student. Your dad will take you to and from school, and if your dad is busy, you can stay at your godmother’s house, okay?"

Shu Jiao had never thought of letting Ruan Jiaojiao leave her side. Even though she wore the peace charm she brought with her and had the Buddha Beads Ruan Hao got for her, Shu Jiao still wasn’t reassured. Ruan Jiaojiao had to stay close to her; if not by her side, then she must be with the person she trusted most, and that person could be none other than Zhao Li.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t expect it to be like this; she actually thought she could really take care of herself.

But she could understand Shu Jiao’s concerns and didn’t hesitate to nod her small head in agreement.

Ruan Jianguo on the side chuckled, "Turns out wife, you already had a plan in mind, why didn’t you tell me?"

"If I’d told you, how would I know you’d be so magnanimous now, ready to buy a house on a whim?"

It’s true that the restaurant had made some money and they did have some savings at home, but all that money was working capital, meant for important future uses. Shu Jiao didn’t want that money turned into fixed assets at this point, as it wouldn’t be beneficial for their future development.
