Chapter 2339: Chapter 2339

By the way, the girl is named Xia Qia, a local from Beidu.

He looked at Ruan Jianguo: "It’s the owner of the karaoke bar on the street where our hotel is located, Dad, you often go to karaoke bars, you might have seen her."

"What are you talking about! When do I often go to karaoke bars?" Ruan Jianguo got angry upon hearing this and immediately refuted, while turning his head to look at Shu Jiao, earnestly defending himself, expressing loyalty: "Honey, don’t listen to this kid’s nonsense. I rarely go to karaoke bars; it’s only when I can’t avoid it in business dealings. But rest assured, I’m always well-behaved when I go, just singing and drinking a little, never doing anything else."

But Shu Jiao wasn’t interested in any of this. She was reminiscing about the karaoke bars she had been to a few times but had no recollection of the owner mentioned.

"Visiting our home on the fourth day of the New Year, have you been to the girl’s house yet?" the Ruanlin family asked.

Ruan Jie shook his head: "Xia Qia is the only one at her home."

"She’s also a poor child." The Ruanlin family sighed: "Alright then, things will be ready at home on the fourth day, you can bring her back."

Ruan Jie nodded.

Seeing Jiaojiao still watching her with open eyes, he amusingly reached out to tap her forehead: "Why aren’t you speaking, dumbfounded? Or are you too happy that your brother is bringing a sister-in-law home?"

Jiaojiao scrunched her little nose: "We’ll talk about it when you actually bring someone home."

Though that’s what she said, Jiaojiao was indeed quite excited. As for the karaoke bar, she had been there twice but had no impression of the owner. Listening to Ruan Jie, it seemed like Xia Qia was managing it alone, which meant she must be excellent in every way. Jiaojiao was quite looking forward to it.

After New Year’s Eve, Jiaojiao went to the Shu Family on the first day of the new year with Shu Jiao to pay respects.

Unlike previous years, besides receiving double the lucky money, she also prepared red packets for the Shu grandfather, Little Potato, and Qin Li, who was also visiting the Shu Family, with the money she had earned.

Hearing that this was Jiaojiao’s first earnings, Grandpa Shu was exceptionally delighted with the little gesture.

Though Little Potato was not yet four, he understood the value of money. Watching Duan Xi give all his red packets to Jiaojiao, earning a smile from her each time, Little Potato quickly followed suit, eagerly stacking his morning’s red packets in front of Jiaojiao. Ruan Jie playfully teased him by taking one, making Little Potato unhappy; he promptly snatched it back and defensively hid it in Jiaojiao’s arms, sparking laughter from everyone.

Jiaojiao was also amused, looking into his bright eyes, lifted him up, kissed his chubby cheeks, and kissed him twice more.

His little face was squished from the kisses, but he didn’t mind. Rather, he laughed heartily, looking quite blissful.

Qin Qiong pretended to be disdainful: "This kid has been a flirt since birth."

As soon as he said that, he was slapped by Shu Wen, sitting beside him: "Who are you calling a flirt?!"

Qin Qiong changed his tune immediately, leaning closer to her: "Me, me, I’m a flirt, but only with you."

"Shameless." Shu Wen was genuinely disdainful, stood up and left him, approaching Little Potato on purpose and bent down to tease him: "Little Potato, how about giving Auntie a kiss too, can you give me a red packet as well?"
