Chapter 2070: Chapter 2070: Qin Li (8)
Li Boxue still doesn’t know that this time in his bold gamble, not only did he win, he also ushered a completely different life path.
Li Boxue agreed, so readily, that it left the Ruan Family somewhat at a loss.
However, the paperwork was processed quickly, because there was no one left in Li Boxue’s family, his mother had long since disappeared, never to be found, so the adoption procedures went smoothly: first signed by the team, then the town, and finally the city.
The Ruan Family already had a reputation in Yuansu, the adoption process took just two days to complete.
During this period, the Ruan Family wanted him to temporarily move into the building to live, but Li Boxue didn’t come over, aside from eating three meals a day at the Ruan Family, he spent the rest of his time at his own home.
Shu Wen, usually straightforward by nature, rarely expends effort on anyone except for Ruan Jiaojiao, her nephews, and nieces. She used to send clothes and exercise books while they were in school, now she simply sends a holiday red envelope and that’s it.
Now, with her newly appointed son, she finds herself truly at a bind, not knowing how to treat him well.
Most importantly, the child isn’t young anymore, so it’s awkward to get close, thus the burden fell to Qin Qiong.
But for Qin Qiong, this is nothing short of troublesome; his parents implemented strict and harsh parenting on him, and he’s not equipped for child rearing.
Ultimately, the task of helping Li Boxue adapt was taken up by Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi.
Li Boxue was handsome, especially his eyes filled with allure, Ruan Family had lots of boys, but none had clothes suitable for him, so as soon as Ruan Jiaojiao returned to the city, together with Duan Xi, enthusiastically took him to the mall for a full wardrobe purchase.
Although the Li Family’s living conditions weren’t great, when Li Shu was alive, Li Boxue lived quite happily, though not wealthy, as grandparents doted on him, and his parents treated him well; every New Year and birthday they bought new clothes for him, resolutely would buy him a big cake, during those times he didn’t fathom that one day his father would die, throwing him into hell before he recovered from the grief of losing him.
Led by Ruan Jiaojiao through the mall, watching her smile engagingly and chat with him, she constantly compared new clothes and shoes against him.
The young Li Boxue couldn’t quite understand why these people would treat him so well without any reason?
He yearned for this warmth, yet...he was afraid.
Thus in response to the Ruan Family’s kindness, he often chose silence, as if this silence formed a protective shell, guarding his last trace of hope.
Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t bothered by his aloofness.
Watching him transform into increasingly handsome under her guidance, a wordless pride emerged, filled with indescribable feeling.
She presented the newly refreshed Li Boxue before Shu Wen, proudly asking, "Aunty, look, isn’t my styling particularly good?"
Shu Wen was indeed dazzled, surprised she said, "I didn’t realize you were so talented, should’ve known earlier for you to learn designing, then you could help me at the factory."
Ruan Jiaojiao was embarrassed by her earnest praise.
While Ruan Jiaojiao and Li Boxue were shopping enthusiastically at the front, Qin Qiong followed behind with the wallet, paying the bills along the way.
