Chapter 782: Chapter 782 Watching a Movie (6)_1

Seeing her happy made Xiu Xi happy too, and he couldn’t help but smile as well.

Yuan Xiaodong, who had been weaving through the crowd to find them, stopped halfway. For some reason, he felt it might not be a good idea to approach them at that moment. He might get beaten up!

So he silently shrank back and returned to his own family’s table to eat.

After lunch, Ruan Jiaojiao went to give Zhao Li a gift. The Lu Family wasn’t short on money now, and the gifts Ruan Jiaojiao gave each year were always meaningful. This year’s gift was ten coupon cards cut from a hard cardboard box. Ruan Jiaojiao had also used watercolor pens to draw little flowers on them, which were very pretty.

Of course, what was more noteworthy was what she had written on the cards.

There were ten different coupons, such as a Leg Massage Coupon, Back Massage Coupon, Go Shopping Together Coupon...

Zhao Li was so moved upon receiving the gift that she could hardly wait to take Ruan Jiaojiao home and pamper her. A lot of people had gathered around as she opened her gift, and the elder Mrs. Yuan had also come over at some point.

As she watched Zhao Li hugging Ruan Jiaojiao with joy, she almost couldn’t maintain her smile.

She wasn’t so dense as to not notice that Ruan Jiaojiao had become less affectionate towards her, but even so... she didn’t dare show it because she couldn’t afford the consequences.

Mrs. Liu felt sorry for her young miss and watched as Zhao Li treasured those coupon cards. She wished she could snatch them away, pretending they were from Ruan Jiaojiao to her own miss.

Zhao Li had to entertain many guests that afternoon, and the restaurant was crowded, so Ruan Jiaojiao had nowhere to sleep. She could only half-dozily lean on Xiu Xi while sitting in her chair, listening to the adults chatting.

Yuan Xiaodong nudged Xiu Xi’s shoulder and asked quietly, "Bro Xi, I just saw a movie theatre open up ahead. Shall we go watch movies?"

"Movies?" Ruan Jiaojiao, who had been dozing off, perked up at the question.

Their neighborhood was poor and had never had a movie theatre. When did one open up without her knowledge?

"Yeah, I heard they have lots of good films, really interesting to watch." Seeing that Ruan Jiaojiao was interested, Yuan Xiaodong knew she had agreed and started to enthusiastically promote it, "I heard there are lots of martial arts films. Let’s go watch."

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the bustling Ruan Family restaurant and figured she wouldn’t find anywhere to sleep anytime soon. She might as well go to watch a movie.

Ruan Jiaojiao went to Shu Jiao and told them she wanted to watch a movie. Ruan Jianguo was chatting with Jiang Bin and Lu Zhiwei when he heard, immediately stood up and said, "Watch a movie? Alright, Dad will take you..."

He hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by Shu Jiao pulling on his wrist. Shu Jiao glanced at him and then turned to Jiang Bin, "Mr. Jiang, we’re too busy to manage here. Could you please take the kids to watch a movie up ahead?" While speaking, her gaze swept towards Xiu Xun who was clearing dishes at another table.

Jiang Bin understood immediately and agreed to take them.

Shu Jiao then looked towards Xiu Xun, "Xiaoxun, there’s no need for you to clean up here. Jiaojiao and the others are going to watch a movie; you go watch too."

"But..." Xiu Xun hesitated, looking at the tables that were still not cleared.

"What buts? Go on, your aunt heard you did well in your math Olympiad test. Consider it a reward from your aunt. Go enjoy the movie, and by the way, take care of Jiaojiao for your aunt, don’t let her wander off."

Hearing this, Xiu Xun looked towards Ruan Jiaojiao, who was talking to Xiu Xi, then after two seconds of silence, nodded his head.
