Chapter 990: Chapter 990 Peerless Gentlemen (2)

Now, seeing Shu Jiao’s room full of treasures, she finally realized how ridiculous she had been before.

And two years ago, Shu Lang and Shu Old Master casually pulled out tens of thousands. Thinking about it now, they had actually toned it down significantly!

Otherwise, any one of the treasures here sold would make a fortune that could practically crush someone, but they probably only took out tens of thousands after careful deliberation, just to not make them feel too bad.

She turned her head to look at Ruan Jianguo and let out a heavy sigh. Who would’ve thought that someone in their old Ruan Family could have such blind luck.

Among them, the most shaken must have been Ruan Jianguo.

In the past, people teased him, saying Shu Jiao was a delicate flower planted in cow dung. He could still cheerfully retort, saying cow dung is nutritious and can tenderly nurture flowers.

But now... Forget it. Cow dung is just cow dung; the nutrients can’t possibly nourish flowers! Not killing the flowers with its stench is already good enough! Nurture? Ha!

Xiu Xi furrowed his brows as well. In his past belief, as long as there was enough food to keep Ruan Jiaojiao alive, that was enough. Later, he realized just keeping her alive wasn’t enough; she had to be well cared for. Now... for the first time, he felt pressured.

Each person harbored different thoughts as they toured the Shu Family’s garden. By around four in the afternoon, the whole family was waiting for Ruan Hao to return, then they’d head to a hotel for dinner.

Ruan Jiaojiao hadn’t seen Ruan Hao in almost half a year. She missed her big brother immensely.

After receiving Ruan Hao’s call and learning he was already on his way from school, she immediately went to her room to bathe, changed into a beautiful outfit, and obediently sat in the downstairs living room to wait.

Ruan Hao was studying at Qing University, which wasn’t particularly close to Shu Old Master’s place. The round trip took about two hours. With his heavy academic load and the goal of graduating as fast as possible, he worked extremely hard and didn’t come to Shu Old Master’s home often—about once a month on average.

The last time he came to Shu Old Master’s place was a month ago.

Ruan Jiaojiao genuinely missed him. Knowing he was returning, she waited in the living room, occasionally running over to the front door to peek outside and see if a car had arrived.

Seeing her darting back and forth like this, Shu Old Master felt a pang of jealousy and said, "Little Jiaojiao, you don’t actually miss your grandpa, do you? I bet you just miss your brother."

Look at her running back and forth, over ten times already. Doesn’t she ever get tired?

"Of course not! Jiaojiao misses both equally..." Ruan Jiaojiao was about to profess her impartial longing, but before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of a car pulling in outside. Her eyes lit up instantly as she turned on her heels and ran out, completely abandoning her unfinished explanation.

Outside the little residential building, a Jeep stopped.

The person in the car hadn’t even gotten out yet, but everyone already heard a crisp and ringing call of, "Big Brother!" That sweetness in her voice—it was practically dripping with honey.

The car door opened, and the man who stepped out was exactly the big brother Ruan Jiaojiao had been yearning for in the past half-year. The one she’d been thinking about day and night!

Compared to half a year ago, Ruan Hao seemed to have grown even taller. He must’ve reached about 1.85 meters by now. Perhaps he had attended some sort of important event today, as he was dressed formally in a white suit.

Standing on the steps and seeing him get out of the car, striding forward with his long legs, that familiar smile on his face, a line of poetry suddenly surfaced in Ruan Jiaojiao’s mind: "A gentleman peerless in the world, as radiant as jade amidst the crowd!"

When it came to her big brother, to this day, she genuinely hadn’t seen anyone more handsome or outstanding than him!
