Quan Jue and Chi Jiao walked to Liu Ruhua together. Quan Jue obediently greeted her.
“Good child, come and sit down,” Liu Ruhua said with a smile.
Quan Jue and Chi Jiao sat beside her. Liu Ruhua looked at them, feeling increasingly satisfied.
“Jiaojiao, don’t just focus on those things. Do more of your own stuff.” Although Liu Ruhua wasn’t in White City, she and Ou Zhenglin worried about Chi Jiao every day. Every few days, they would ask Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu about her.
They knew that Chi Jiao had been busy with 117 recently and knew that she had encountered some danger.
‘Their hearts ached for her.
But there was no choice. This was the path Chi Jiao had to take.
“Tunderstand, Grandma. How have you been?” Chi Jiao smiled sweetly at her.
“Your grandfather and I are doing very well. You don’t have to worry about us,” Liu Ruhua gave a faint sigh. “It’s all our fault. Your grandfather and I are old and useless. We’ve implicated you.”
“Grandma, I don’t like what you’re saying.” Chi Jiao pulled a long face. “This is the path I chose. Didn’t you and Grandpa say that only when there is world peace will there be peace for the individual?”
The world would be in dire danger as long as the Soul Stone wasn’t found.
Without peace, how could there be happy families?
Chi Jiao didn’t feel that she was selfless and noble. She just wanted to get rid of all the dangerous elements and live happily with Quan Jue.
“Grandma, let’s not talk about this today,” Quan Jue suddenly said. “Let’s talk about something else.”
“Tm really old and muddled. Today is Jiaojiao’s 18th birthday. We shouldn’t be talking about this.” Liu Ruhua smiled apologetically.
“Grandma, how are my flowers lately?” Chi Jiao cleverly changed the topic.
“Your grandfather and I don’t have much to do now. Our greatest joy is taking care of your flowers and plants. The number 108 flower you planted has already bloomed. I harvested the seeds as you instructed. I’ve brought them to you as well…” Liu Ruhua perked up at the mention of Chi Jiao’s plants and
began to report the situation excitedly.
eee
Because of Ou Zhenglin and Liu Ruhua’s arrival, the atmosphere at the party became even more lively.
Madam Jin’s car came to a stop at the entrance.
Ruan Xiaoxiao looked at the exceptionally familiar villa outside the car window and then at Madam Jin. “Madam Jin, what are we doing here?”
Wasn’t this the Chi family’s old residence?!
Why had they come here?
“silly child, didn’t you want to see Old Master Ou with me? Old Master Ou is here,” Madam Jin said with a smile.
Ruan Xiaoxiao widened her eyes in disbelief. “Why is Old Master Ou here?”
Chi Jiao was holding her birthday party at the old residence.
If Ou Zhenglin was here as well
This proved that Ou Zhenglin was here to attend Chi Jiao’s birthday party.
Previously, Ruan Xiaoxiao had always thought that Chi Jiao’s god grandfather, Ou Zhenglin, just happened to have the same name as the legendary figure.
After all, there were many people with the same name in this world. She was very confident that they were not the same person.
This was because Ou Zhenglin had single-handedly founded 117.
How could such a super big shot acknowledge Chi Jiao as his god granddaughter?
But now, it seemed like they were really the same person.
At the thought of this possibility, Ruan Xiaoxiao nearly choked.
“Old Master Ou is here to attend his god granddaughter’s birthday banquet,” Madam Jin said as she alighted.
Ruan Xiaoxiao felt like she had been struck by lightning when she heard Madam Jin’s words. She felt very ill…
