Chapter 2238

Since his brother tried every means to conceal this matter from his parents, as a younger brother, he could not help him in other ways, so he could only do this within his ability.

However, he returned to the Zhao family that night and took Lu Meng to a place where no one was around to ask: "Xiao Meng, uncle already knows whose heart you have. From now on, you are uncle's nephew. But, can you tell uncle what deal you made with your father?"

Lu Meng blinked his beautiful big eyes and looked at him, shaking his head: "No, if I tell you, Dad will be angry. That is Dad's only wish."

"Wish?" Lu Zishu thought.

According to his understanding of his brother for so many years, there is nothing he can't get since he was a child. If he must say there is something, it is Ruan Jiaojiao.

Is it really related to Ruan Jiaojiao?

He approached Lu Meng and asked quietly: "Is it related to your Aunt Jiaojiao?"

Lu Meng still didn't answer, but said: "Dad said that Xiao Meng should always protect Aunt Jiaojiao and guard her forever." He remembered what happened in the hospital last time, and persuaded Lu Zishu again: "Uncle, you have to do the same. You can't hurt Aunt Jiaojiao, Dad will be unhappy."

Lu Zishu is usually very slow in emotions, but this time, he understood what Lu Meng said in seconds.

It really has something to do with Ruan Jiaojiao.

Lu Zishu's heart was sour and bitter, all for his brother.

He hugged Lu Meng in his arms and nodded solemnly: "Okay, uncle will guard you together."

Lu Zishu knew that he was a bad mouth, and he had been like this since he was a child. He might have emotions for Ruan Jiaojiao, but those emotions came and went quickly. He didn't really blame Ruan Jiaojiao, but sometimes when he got emotional, he couldn't control his mouth.

He did not pursue the matter further, but every year after that, he would go to the temple once and add some incense money, because no matter what wish his brother made, he hoped that he could get it...

In early February of 1999, Beidu welcomed a heavy snowfall.

Because there was heating indoors, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house was very large, and Ruan Jiaojiao was wrapped up like a bun by Ruan Linshi and sent out early in the morning.

In the car, Duan Xu had already turned on the air conditioner. Ruan Jiaojiao felt uncomfortable wearing so many clothes, but Ruan Linshi kept nagging her if she didn't wear them, so she had to put them on first and started to take off her clothes after getting in the car.

"You just got better from the cold you had a few days ago." Duan Xu frowned and reminded while driving.

"But I can't breathe like this." Ruan Jiaojiao frowned and hummed. Wearing so many clothes, she looked like a ball. It was not only not beautiful, but she really felt a little difficult to breathe when she sat down.

Duan Xu saw that her little face was red and she didn't look like she was lying, so he didn't lean over to stop her.

Ruan Jiaojiao took off her outer down jacket first, then her inner wool sweater. After taking off two pieces, she felt much freer to move, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Xu, I only have one exam this morning, so don't wait for me outside. I'll go back with you later."

Because she hadn't lived in Hengya for a long time, Ruan Jiaojiao didn't have anything to take with her during the winter vacation. After taking the exam today, she could go home directly. As for the test results, they would be mailed home at that time.

"Okay." Duan Xu nodded. He was busy at the company recently and really couldn't spare the time.
