Xiu Xi stayed silent. He didn't deny being petty; he simply didn't like Lu Xian, and that was that.
Jiaojiao also noticed this issue. Lu Xian and Lu Zishu were brothers, but it was clear that Xiu Xi disliked Lu Xian more. His attitude toward Lu Zishu was at least somewhat decent.
Jiaojiao thought, "It really is about spending time together—longer interactions lead to better relationships."
Just like three years ago, the Ruan Family's Lunar New Year dinner was a big reunion. This time, however, it was likely held at the Shu Family residence. Old Shu looked at his wife's memorial portrait, feeling a little downhearted, thinking how great it would be if she were still here.
Old Shu's sudden wave of emotion caught everyone off guard.
Shu Jiao exchanged a meaningful glance with Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao immediately ran to Old Shu's arms, acting cute and playful. She was small, had a sweet voice, and her antics completely disarmed Old Shu. His mood improved in no time.
