CHAPTER 1120: CHAPTER 1120: SHE WILL DIE (8)

Ruan Jianguo is really strong, even now in his forties, when he stands up, his stature still surpasses the grown-up boys, especially the fifteen-year-old Xiu Xi.

"Wow, so hard." Jiaojiao reached out and pinched it, full of admiration.

"See, there’s no problem at all with me carrying you to school." Proudly showing off, Ruan Jianguo puffed out his chest after his daughter’s compliment.

Beside them, Xiu Xi glanced at her and then looked at Ruan Jianguo showing off, his eyes a bit wistful. When father and daughter weren’t paying attention, he quickly pinched his own arm.

All he felt was the lean build typical of a boy his age, not a bit of muscle.

Xiu Xi never cared much about having muscles before, but seeing Jiaojiao’s affection and joy in pinching Ruan Jianguo’s muscles brought about some envy.

From the start, what he most wanted was to be the mightiest male in Jiaojiao’s heart, and even now, after being a human for six years, that thought hasn’t faded.

Jiaojiao, after having her fun pinching Ruan Jianguo’s muscles, said: "No need, Jiaojiao can go to school with Brother Xi, it’s convenient back and forth. Dad, keep earning money so you can buy lots and lots of houses for Jiaojiao, buy them in Beidu, so Jiaojiao can go to college there one day."

Over the coming decades, the real estate market will rapidly develop, and after Jiaojiao discussed it with the family, she relayed this information to the Ruan Family.

If Jiaojiao had given other reasons, Ruan Jianguo might have felt his daughter was just brushing him off, but when Jiaojiao talked about buying houses, Ruan Jianguo knew she genuinely meant it because she had mentioned wanting to buy a house in Beidu more than once.

"Alright then." In the end, Ruan Jianguo could only say this.

Nonetheless, his mood towards Xiu Xi remained unfavorable, patting Jiaojiao’s small head and sounding a warning to Xiu Xi: "Xiaoxi, Jiaojiao is still young, she’s only twelve." The implied message is even if you have any thoughts, bottle them up because his little cabbage is still young, just starting to sprout! Don’t even think about mischief.

Xiu Xi wasn’t sure if he got the message, just glanced at him, then picked up the cup Jiaojiao drank from and went downstairs.

Jiaojiao went to the restroom first and didn’t want to continue lying on the bed, so she had Ruan Jianguo carry her downstairs.

"Jiaojiao, you’re awake. Do you feel anything uncomfortable? Does your head hurt?" Ruanlin Family was downstairs, sorting vegetables, and beside her, Meat was gnawing on a bone, the reward it got for guarding Jiaojiao today.

A scratch isn’t scary, the scariest part is an infection, and what follows an infection is a fever.

Luckily, Jiaojiao was in good condition, just a bit of pain in her leg and no other complications.

Shu Jiao came in from outside holding a piece of paper, a certificate from the pharmacy saying Jiaojiao’s wound didn’t need stitching, only cleaned and medicated, so it didn’t cost much—less than twenty bucks, and the Ruan Family wasn’t short of a dozen-odd bucks.

But the necessary certification must still be there. Eventually, the student who caused the hot water incident must both pay and apologize, and this money must be demanded, if only as a lesson to the other party.

This time, Jiaojiao was quite lucky, otherwise, with a bit less luck, if it had hit her head... the consequences would be unimaginable.

So this lesson must be given to the other party, as no matter whom it hits, it’ll be a disaster.
