Chapter 1194: Chapter 1194: Extreme Misfortune Turns into Prosperity (3)

Shu Lang must have been genuinely satisfied with yesterday’s blind date. Upon hearing this, he rarely displayed a bit of embarrassment, glared at the busybody behind him, and then turned back to speak softly to Ruan Jiaojiao: “It was… it was pretty good.”

The tone was also a little embarrassed.

When Ruan Jiaojiao heard this, she became even more excited. This was clearly promising.

Ever since their first year in Beidu, Grandpa Shu had been urging Shu Lang to get married. But after several years of blind dates, nothing ever came of it. Now nearing twenty-seven, twenty-eight years old, even Shu Jiao would occasionally express her impatience at home. Finally, he met someone he was satisfied with.

Ruan Jiaojiao was naturally happy for him, completely forgetting her new friend, and clung to Shu Lang, asking incessantly.

“Uncle, quickly tell me, is Aunt pretty?”

“Not your aunt yet.” Qin Qiong glanced at Shu Lang, smiling even more mischievously: “Whether she becomes your aunt depends on whether your uncle has what it takes.”

“Of course he does.” Ruan Jiaojiao defended her uncle, believing he deserved the best woman in the world, and couldn’t bear to hear such dismissive words, so she immediately defended him.

Yet when turning to ask Shu Lang, she was a bit worried: “Uncle, you’ve never had a girlfriend before. Can you handle it? What have you planned to do with Aunt today?”

“…” Shu Lang.

Looking at Ruan Jiaojiao, whose eyes were filled with worry, didn’t she just say she believed he could do it?

Ruan Jianguo, coming down the stairs happened to hear and couldn’t help but start strategizing: “Alang, girls need to be coaxed. Tell us what activities you have planned today, and we’ll help you come up with some ideas.”

Saying this, Ruan Jianguo couldn’t help but proudly stick out his chest: “Trust your brother-in-law. Even though I only ever had your sister as a partner, with such a big gap between us back then, didn’t I still manage to win the beauty?”

If someone else had said this, Shu Lang might have believed it a bit, but hearing it from Ruan Jianguo’s mouth, he didn’t believe it at all.

Because over the years, he didn’t see any strategy worth learning from Ruan Jianguo’s tussles with his sister. Instead, Jianguo was always dominated. If there was anything to learn from, perhaps it was shamelessness?

“You? Don’t even think about it.” Ruanlin’s wife came out from the kitchen with freshly fried dough sticks and snorted with a laugh: “When you were chasing Jiaojiao’s mother back in the day, besides nagging me at home day in and day out, what effort did you even put in?”

She turned to Shu Lang and said, “Alang, don’t listen to your brother-in-law’s nonsense. Back then, besides revolving around your sister all day long, he didn’t dare to say a word more, let alone coax…”

“Mom!” Ruan Jianguo didn’t know his own mom would be so merciless, criticizing him in front of so many people, causing his old face to blush in embarrassment.

Back then, he indeed fell in love with Shu Jiao at first sight. But as a rough man, and her being such a delicate little girl, he didn’t even have the courage to say a few words to her. Yet, he was scared that others would covet her, so he just revolved around her all day. If anyone approached Shu Jiao, he would glare, blowing his beard and scaring people away, then continue to follow her around, tailing behind dumbly.

Finally, when he mustered the courage to talk, he asked Shu Jiao if she would want to date him, only to run off as soon as the words left his mouth, not even giving Shu Jiao a chance to respond.
