Chapter 1986: Deteriorating Feelings (Part 3)
"Dad?" Jiaojiao looked at Ruan Jianguo again.
Since Shu Jiao had nodded in agreement, Ruan Jianguo naturally agreed as well. As for the other brothers, of course, they followed Jiaojiao’s wishes. Just like that, they decided to rent a long-distance sleeper bus to go back.
That night when Yu Rou called Jiaojiao, she was thrilled to hear this news. She said her parents had agreed, allowing her to go back to Yuansu with Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao asked her how she managed to get her parents to agree, but Yu Rou was vague and didn’t explain clearly. Jiaojiao didn’t care, expressing a warm welcome for her to visit her hometown.
However, in this journey, Ruan Hao was not included. Shu Jiao could take some time to accompany Jiaojiao and have some fun, but Ruan Hao and Ruan Chi couldn’t. The Ruan Family’s business was getting bigger, and many things couldn’t do without him. Likewise, Ruan Chi’s law firm couldn’t do without him now, so they planned to return in time for Ruan Jun’s upcoming wedding.
But even without them, there were still plenty of people to drive.
Knowing that the Ruan Family was going back to Yuansu with a total of fifteen people including the meat family, Xiaobai, who found time to come back and see them, was not happy. He circled around Jiaojiao, hissing, but this time they were going on a stop-and-go trip and taking Yu Rou. It was really difficult to take him along, so they had to leave his nine-member family behind.
Xiaobai was quite upset. The night before Jiaojiao and the others left, he flicked Meat with his tail tip, causing Meat to howl, which made the thirteen little cubs also start howling, almost enough to lift the roof off the place before Xiaobai sheepishly slinked back into the mountains under Duan Xi’s cold gaze.
So, on July 10th, the Lu Family of three, the Lu Family of more than a dozen, plus Yu Rou, and the massive fifteen-member Meat family finally set off on their journey to Yuansu.
The route had been planned long in advance, and driving wasn’t an issue. All the men could drive, including Ruan Wei, who had just started college this year. Even though the journey was long and the hours many, taking turns to drive wouldn’t be too tiring.
Ruan Jianguo rented a long-distance sleeper bus with 48 beds, enough for everyone to sleep and leave room for extra luggage.
Jiaojiao and Yu Rou were both looking forward to the group trip back, especially Yu Rou, who was leaving her parents and Beidu for the first time and was beyond excited.
However, tragedy struck soon after boarding.
Especially for Jiaojiao, who never expected this. Normally, she had no problem riding in a small car for four hours round-trip, but within less than two hours on the bus, where she could lie down, she was vomiting her guts out, her face pale as she curled up in Shu Jiao’s arms.
Ruan Jianguo was exceptionally desperate.
He was really, exceptionally desperate!
In the end, Ruan Jianguo had to send Jiaojiao and some of the ladies to the train station so they could take a train back. Meanwhile, he had to drag a vehicle full of luggage and Little Wolf cubs back, befouled as he was just like the last time they came to Beidu. Of course, equally unlucky were Ruan Jie and Ruan Bo, especially Ruan Jie, who couldn’t understand why, despite having some status at school, he ended up being just a driver for Ruan Jianguo.
Jiaojiao and the others took two days and a night to return, while Ruan Jianguo and the others, like last time, took twice as long.
When Jiaojiao and the others arrived in Changling, it was night, and rather than rushing back immediately, they stayed at their hotel.
