Chapter 2389: Chapter 2389

Upon hearing the boss lady’s words, Duan Xi, who had been focused on Ruan Jiaojiao who paid attention to others, immediately softened his expression and took his own lunch into the office to eat.

Ruan Jiaojiao also had no food, and the two sat together to eat.

Ruan Jiaojiao was a picky eater, and would dump what she didn’t like into Duan Xi’s bowl, but he didn’t mind. Even if all he ate was what she didn’t like, due to his possessiveness, he wouldn’t allow anyone else to touch her leftovers, not even the Ruan Family brothers.

Ruan Jiaojiao was talkative and couldn’t keep things to herself, so she chatted with Duan Xi about her recent meeting with Xin Miao while eating.

After finishing, she asked Duan Xi, "Brother Xi, do you think she will end up with Lu Zishu?"

"No," Duan Xi replied, his tone certain.

There aren’t many people as foolish as Duan Sishu in this world, including Feng Nianian, who always act in their own best interest no matter what they do.

As for Xin Miao, she is even smarter than the other two and knows exactly what she wants. So, even though she might be jealous of Ruan Jiaojiao deep down, for whatever reason, she would never act out, and certainly wouldn’t dare to.

That’s why, even though Duan Xi knows she’s not kind-hearted, as long as she doesn’t touch his people, he doesn’t care and lets Ruan Jiaojiao approach her.

"I hope so," Ruan Jiaojiao nodded. She truly didn’t want her godparents to suffer any more harm. At their age, they had already lost one son; how could they bear losing a second? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

As Duan Xi predicted, Xin Miao and Lu Zishu didn’t work out, because the day after their meeting, Xin Miao contacted Lu Zishu.

Since being accepted by Xin Miao, Lu Zishu had completely changed from his previous decadence, as though he was filled with adrenaline, becoming energetic, constantly waiting for any sign from Xin Miao. As soon as she said the word, he’d head to the Xin Family to propose.

The Xin Family is considered a prestigious family in Beidu, and the Lu Family has also done very well in Beidu over the years. So, in Lu Zishu’s view, he and Xin Miao were well-matched in every way.

When he received Xin Miao’s call, he was overjoyed. After hanging up, he hurried excitedly to find Lu Zhiwei: "Dad, I’m going out for lunch and might not be back this afternoon or evening."

Since Lu Xian’s death, Lu Zishu had been quite motivated. This was the first time in months that he saw him like this, and he asked, somewhat surprised, "What’s going on?"

"Nothing’s wrong, my girlfriend asked me out. Dad, I’m not coming home this afternoon, and soon I’ll bring you a daughter-in-law." Saying this, Lu Zishu didn’t give Lu Zhiwei a chance to respond and left in a rush, his steps brisk.

Daughter-in-law?

Lu Zhiwei touched his chin. He had vaguely heard a little from Zhao Li in recent days, but hadn’t paid much attention. After all, Lu Zishu hadn’t dated any girls in years; how could a daughter-in-law just pop up so easily?

After Lu Zishu left, he picked up the phone on the desk and dialed home.

Over on this side, after leaving the office, Lu Zishu deliberately went to the restroom, checked himself in the mirror, adjusted his hair a couple of times with his hand, and only after he felt satisfied did he walk out of the company.
