CHAPTER 780: CHAPTER 780: SCHEMING (2 UPDATES)

Could anything be more important than a child almost falling to the ground?

If the child had accidentally hurt himself in the fall, what would we have done?

A child that small can’t withstand a fall.

Besides, it’s one thing to wash, but to wash for so long, without a word of apology or concern.

Xu Niannian, holding Da Bao, went over and picked up Xiao Bao as well, one in each hand, both children clutching tightly to Xu Niannian’s neck.

"Sister-in-law, I’m going to head back first. Later, Jin Yu and I will host dinner, please call Brother Du over in a bit, and come to my place for a meal together."

Sister-in-law Du didn’t want to part with Da Bao and Xiao Bao, wanting to play with the children a bit longer.

But after what had happened, Sister-in-law Du didn’t feel good about keeping Xu Niannian.

Didn’t you see Da Bao’s pale little face?

"Alright, we’ll come over later." Seeing her carrying two children by herself, Sister-in-law Du was somewhat worried: "Shall I help you take the children back home?"

Xu Niannian shook her head, declining Sister-in-law Du’s kind offer: "No need, Sister-in-law, I can carry them."

Seeing this, Sister-in-law Du had no more to say.

About ten minutes after Xu Niannian left, Ji Ruhua finally walked out of the bathroom unhurriedly.

Her wet hair was still dripping water, evidently, she had washed it with cold water.

Sister-in-law Du’s smile was somewhat forced: "How are you, all clean now?"

Ji Ruhua could feel that Sister-in-law Du’s attitude was no longer as enthusiastic as before; her expression froze as she remembered what had just happened.

"Sister-in-law, did Miss Xu say something to you?"

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Du felt slightly uncomfortable: "No, Niannian didn’t say anything."

She thought to herself that it was actually you who should be apologizing.

Sister-in-law Du’s tone was very stiff, and the change in attitude was very clear.

Ji Ruhua was taken aback for a moment, knowing well what Sister-in-law Du was upset about, aware that explanations would be useless at that time.

She simply said, "Sister-in-law, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let go just now, but it was so sudden, and I can’t stand that smell, I felt nauseous and wanted to throw up. I saw the child was fine, caught by Miss Xu, which is why I thought to clean myself up first and apologize to Miss Xu later."

Sister-in-law Du was a tender-hearted person, and upon hearing these words, she immediately softened.

In fact, she didn’t really have a position to scold her, and now seeing her so polite and understanding, Sister-in-law Du’s heart felt somewhat relieved.

Plus, Ji Ruhua was only Qu Xiaoran’s friend, who had come to visit relatives, not for a genuine matchmaking.

Speaking of matchmaking, it was her own idea, and she didn’t even know what the girl thought about it.

She sighed, "Sister-in-law doesn’t blame you, but you should really go and apologize to Niannian properly. Children don’t know any better, but we adults shouldn’t behave like that as well."

"What Sister-in-law said is right." Ji Ruhua listened earnestly to Sister-in-law Du’s admonishment, not showing the slightest displeasure.

Seeing this, Sister-in-law Du’s fondness for Ji Ruhua returned.

She’s a nice girl after all.

"Tonight, Niannian has invited us to her home for dinner. You should also come with Sister-in-law later, and take the opportunity to apologize to Niannian."

Ji Ruhua nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, Sister-in-law, Ruhua will remember."

The more obedient Ji Ruhua was, the softer Sister-in-law Du’s heart became. Noticing her soaked clothes, she kindly offered, "Look at you, your clothes are all wet. I’ll find you a clean one to change into, my daughter’s white shirt, Sister-in-law won’t slight you."
