CHAPTER 1374: CHAPTER 1374: JIANG FAMILY’S APOLOGY (6)

Last night, the Shu Family was kept busy for quite a while because of Ruan Jiaojiao, so nobody slept well. This morning, besides the Ruanlin Family and Old Man Shu who unfailingly got up for breakfast only to rest afterwards, no one else was up.

So Ruan Jianguo and Shu Lang only came downstairs by this time. Maybe men aren’t in the habit of looking in mirrors, as Ruan Jianguo just splashed water on his face and came down, not noticing that their faces looked a bit unusual.

In recent years, Ruan Jianguo had gotten slightly fairer, but was still essentially rough and dark-skinned, so the blemishes on his face weren’t too noticeable. But with Shu Lang, it was a different story; he looked almost as bad as Qin Qiong.

Seeing them come down with their faces covered in spots, everyone was stunned.

"What’s with your faces, one after another, did you go thieving?" Old Man Shu knitted his brows and asked, his expression full of disdain. To ease his eyes, he even glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao several times to cleanse his sight.

Upon hearing this, Shu Lang and Ruan Jianguo were startled, turning to look at each other only to see the other’s spot-covered face, almost jumping in surprise.

Below, Qin Qiong, upon seeing their appearance, his eyes lit up. Ignoring the intense sight, he gleefully ran up to check their situation, and seeing they looked as bad as him, he was thrilled to the point of wanting to jump for joy.

Now he was happy; someone else looked as ugly as him! Just the thought of it made him happy!

"What exactly did you guys do?" Shu Jiao looked at the three of them, feeling like something was up.

At this moment, the three had a tacit understanding and shook their heads together, one saying, "Nothing much, you guys slept early last night, we didn’t want to disturb you, so we went out to chat for a while."

"Yeah, there were a lot of mosquitoes outside," Qin Qiong added.

Shu Lang, who wasn’t very good at lying, just kept nodding as they spoke.

"Alright, alright, no one cares what you went to do, just spread out, it’s really unpleasant to look at you all together." Old Man Shu was utterly disdainful; now that they were grouped together, their unpleasantness only multiplied.

"..." the three.

Being despised by Old Man Shu, they dared not say anything and quietly dispersed.

The Ruanlin Family came out of the kitchen, carrying the freshly prepared goat milk for Ruan Jiaojiao. Upon entering the living room and seeing the three faces, she paused but didn’t pay it much mind, directly walking over to Ruan Jiaojiao to hand over the goat milk.

"It’s just the right temperature, drink up, you must be starving." The Ruanlin Family held her lovingly in their arms and said.

Ruan Jiaojiao softly called out to her, being pampered by the Ruanlin Family, she didn’t even want to hold the little milk bottle herself, letting the Ruanlin Family hold her with one hand and the goat milk with the other, like a child just opening her little mouth and sipping away.

"...Glug glug..."

Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao drinking her milk happily, the adults couldn’t help but soften their gaze.

"Ring ring..." The phone rang.

Ruan Jiaojiao immediately curiously lifted her little head to glance over, her small head being ruffled by the Ruanlin Family: "Don’t get distracted, careful not to choke on your milk."

Ruan Jiaojiao lay back down but her big eyes still focused on the phone as Shu Wen, being the closest, picked up the call.

Who knows what the person on the other end said, but Shu Wen’s expression didn’t look too good, yet she still courteously replied, "No need, it’s not that serious."
