Chapter 549: Good Fortune (8)

This painting only shows the upper body. The little girl is wearing a small coat from the Republic of China period, with two small pigtails, and looking forward, as if she is looking at something.

There is also a time and signature in the lower right corner of the painting: 1939~1945, Yuan Maner

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't know why she saw this painting at first sight. There were countless ink paintings on this floor, but the first thing she saw was this painting next to the stairs.

Looking at it, there is an indescribable feeling.

"Jiaojiao, come here." Seeing that her daughter stared at a painting and didn't move, Shu Jie called out and led her into the hall of the Yuan family mansion.

Ruan Jiaojiao retracted her gaze and was led to the hall together.

The Yuan family really has a lot of background. There is a large sofa in the center of the hall, and the furniture around it all looks very high-end. Even the large vase in the corner, Ruan Jiaojiao guessed that it might be an antique.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the bright and spacious hall, and then looked at her father carrying dry goods. She felt that they had entered a world that did not belong to them.

Ruan Jianguo also felt it clearly, and he seemed a little reserved.

Only Shu Jie and Xu Xu had normal expressions. Shu Jie might have grown up in such an environment and did not feel anything. As for Xu Xu, Ruan Jiaojiao felt that he did not understand. Anyway, to him, everything was the same.

"Jiaojiao, come and sit down, come." After the old lady sat down with the help of Yuan Hui, she immediately called Ruan Jiaojiao over.

"You sit down too, treat it as your own home, don't be reserved." Seeing Ruan Jianguo put down the sack in his hand and looked a little reserved, the old lady Yuan smiled and said.

Yuan Hui also called them to sit down, and then went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes. He was a doctor and had developed a habit. Whenever he came back from the hospital, the first thing he did was to take a shower and change clothes.

Shu Jie and Ruan Jianguo came over and sat down together. After Xu Xu sat down next to Ruan Jiaojiao, footsteps came from the side door on the other side of the hall.

A woman who looked about the same age as Yuan Hui but well-maintained and looked quite young came out, followed by an old lady holding a fruit plate.

The woman glanced at them, especially when she saw the sack at the door, her brows subconsciously frowned, and her face showed a bit of disgust, but it was gone in a flash.

Her eyes stayed on Ruan Jiaojiao for a while, then moved away, put on a smile, and said to Mrs. Yuan: "Mom, this is the guest you invited."

The tone was really a bit weird.

Ruan Jiaojiao could hear it even at such a young age, not to mention Shu Jie and Ruan Jianguo.

Old Mrs. Yuan was smiling, but she immediately frowned after hearing this: "What? Do I need your approval to invite any guests?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? How dare your daughter-in-law do that?" The woman covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looking wronged. When she glanced at the leather rain boots on Ruan Jian|Guo Jiao, she flashed a trace of disgust again. She didn't mean to greet them, and said to the old lady: "Mom, Mrs. Wu and I have an appointment to play mahjong, so we won't be eating at home. You and your guests have a good meal." Then she twisted her waist and left.

Old Mrs. Yuan's face had been ugly since she appeared, until she walked out of the door, then it eased a little, turned her head and said to Ruan Jiaojiao and others: "Don't argue with her, come, eat fruit, Jiaojiao eat."
