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

Chapter 2145: Chapter 2145: The Eighteenth Coming-Of-Age Ceremony (27)

Listening to the questions from the Ruan brothers, Lu Xian appeared very calm. He glanced at the little boy beside him, who was looking up and couldn’t control himself from watching Ruan Jiaojiao, and said, "He’s my son."

As for anything else, he refused to say more.

The Ruan brothers looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and since Lu Xian wasn’t willing to say more, they found no point in asking further.

Ruan Jiaojiao watched for a while, then crouched down and softly asked the little boy, "Ameng, is your leg okay now?"

Lu Meng stared blankly at Ruan Jiaojiao right in front of him and instinctively wanted to reach out to hug her, but Lu Xian seemed to notice his thoughts and picked him up first.

Lu Xian nodded at Ruan Jiaojiao, then walked inside, moving towards Ruan Jie and Ruan Chi.

Ruan Jiaojiao stood still, feeling something was off. Beside her, Duan Xi took her hand and led her towards the Ruanlin Family.

Meanwhile, by Lu Xian, Ruan Chi vividly remembered when Lu Xian had pointed to his own chest and said, "It hurts here, brother." But now, looking at Lu Xian, he felt as if Lu Xian not only didn’t like Ruan Jiaojiao but treated her like a stranger.

Ruan Jie, being more straightforward, didn’t pay attention to those emotional matters and focused on the little boy. Once Lu Xian came over, he immediately asked what was going on.

But Lu Xian still stuck to his original statement, only saying he was his son, refusing to say anything else.

Ruan Jie wanted to ask more but was pulled back by Ruan Chi, who shook his head at him, only then did Ruan Jie stop talking, turning instead to coax the little boy. But more strangely, the little boy seemed not to understand his words, often looking at him with a bewildered expression or secretly glancing at Ruan Jiaojiao on the other side.

After the Lu family arrived, the atmosphere in the living room became a bit peculiar.

It wasn’t disharmonious, but everyone was secretly observing each other with their own thoughts.

For instance, Shu Jiao.

Shu Jiao kept observing Lu Xian, and the more she observed, the more her brow furrowed.

The Ruan family and the Lu family had always had a good relationship. Over the years, Lu Zishu and Lu Xian got along with the Ruan Family’s nine brothers like real siblings. But now, Lu Xian seemed unable to integrate, even though he was smiling and talking.

The living room was full of people with their own thoughts. At around ten in the morning, Shu Laoye’s call came through to Ruan Jiaojiao’s phone, asking why they hadn’t arrived yet, his robust voice filling the whole living room.

Ruan Jiaojiao immediately responded with a smile, saying they would be there soon.

After hanging up, the group set off from the Ruan Family, taking five cars to the hotel.

The hotel for Ruan Jiaojiao’s birthday celebration was the main branch in the Beidu City District. Since last night, it had been decorated with archways, banners, flowers, and a red carpet—the standard setup for a banquet, lively and well-mannered.

Ruan Jiaojiao sat in Duan Xi’s car, having already guessed it wouldn’t be a small affair, but as the car approached the hotel, she was still stunned.

This hotel of the Ruan Family is the main branch, originally the first one established in Beidu, with five floors. Initially, when the Ruan Family first came to Beidu, they only rented one floor.

Later, as the Ruan Family’s hotel business grew, under Ruan Hao’s management, it became a nationwide chain. The premises expanded, and they gradually bought all five floors, establishing it as the Ruan Family’s main hotel.

So, all five floors of this building belong to the Ruan Family.
