The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

Chapter 2144: Chapter 2144: The Eighteenth Coming-of-Age Ceremony (26)

After breakfast it was just past eight, and no one was in a hurry to go to the hotel. They all stayed in the living room chatting and laughing.

Close to nine, the whole Lu Family from next door arrived. Lu Zishu’s voice could already be heard in the yard, and the moment he stepped into the entryway he hollered a "happy birthday" to Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Jiaojiao deliberately snapped at him, "All I get is a dry ’happy birthday’? No gift?"

Lu Zishu’s brows danced with delight. "Of course not, I’ll give you the present later. It’ll absolutely blind you."

As soon as he said that, Zhao Li, who was standing beside him, smacked him and scolded impatiently, "Can you talk like a human being? If you can’t, shut up. Even if your dog eyes go blind, you can’t blind our Jiaojiao’s eyes."

"Awoo awoo!"

Rou Rou hopped on the side, expressing that its dog friends’ eyes also must not go blind.

That slap made Lu Zishu lurch forward a step, and not only did he not get anyone’s sympathy, everyone burst out laughing. Ruan Jiaojiao laughed the hardest, ran over to hug Zhao Li, and Zhao Li immediately wrapped an arm around her. "Oh my, my girl is really a big girl now. Let your godmother have a good look. You’re even prettier again."

Standing off to the side, Lu Zishu rolled his eyes dramatically and muttered something under his breath. Zhao Li caught a hint of it and shot him a cold glare; Lu Zishu instantly bolted, narrowly dodging the next slap, and flopped down next to Ruan Lei. The two of them started chatting away like good bros, that carefree look on them making Zhao Li dislike them to no end.

Lu Xian followed behind Zhao Li, walking in step with Lu Zhiwei, with Amon’s hand in his. When Ruan Jiaojiao looked over, he said, "Jiaojiao, happy birthday."

Ruan Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, her gaze landing on the boy at his side. She had just opened her mouth to ask how his leg was when the little guy tilted his head back and spoke to her first, "Auntie, happy birthday. I wish you happiness every single day."

"Thank you, Amon."

"From now on he’s called Ameng, Lu Meng," Lu Xian corrected.

"Oh, I see. Then thank you, Ameng." Ruan Jiaojiao said it again.

Behind them, Ruan Jie and Ruan Chi walked over, frowning. Ruan Jie stared at the little boy standing by his side. "Yanzi, who’s this?"

Growing up, Lu Zishu and Ruan Lei were so close they could practically share a pair of pants.

And Ruan Jie and Ruan Chi were just as close with Lu Xian. Even after Lu Xian went abroad, the three of them had kept in touch these past three years. Not very frequently, but with a relationship that good, the two of them still knew nothing about this little boy.

Ruan Jie had come home last night, already very late when he got back, and Ruan Chi had arrived this morning. Before this, neither of them had heard a word about it from the Ruan Family.

They didn’t even know he was back, so seeing him show up holding a kid’s hand now, both of them were a bit dumbfounded.

At their question, Lu Xian gave the boy a gentle push forward and once again introduced him in front of everyone. "This is my son, Lu Meng."

Other than Ruan Jiaojiao and a few others, everyone was a bit stunned, especially the guys.

"You’ve got to be kidding, Yanzi-ge, when did you have a son? And he’s this big already!" Ruan Wei blurted out.

"He looks about three or four... this..." Ruan Bo.

"Then where’s sis-in-law? Why don’t we see sis-in-law?" Ruan Qun.

The others might not have spoken, but their eyes were all asking the same thing—Is this really your biological son?

Only Ruan Lei, who had heard some whispers from Lu Zishu, remained fairly calm.
