Chapter 923: Trip to Northern Capital (8)

After school...it wasn't Xu Xu who accompanied her, but Ruan Jianguo who came to pick her up.

Ruan Jiaojiao's life became empty, and she felt extremely bored every day.

On the other hand, at the same time when Xu Xu arrived in Beidu, the man who went to Xiahe Village to find him also returned home.

He was a person with extreme mysophobia. In the past, the first thing he did when he returned home was to take a shower, but today he didn't do that. Instead, he walked into the study door and knocked on the door.

The old man in the study was playing chess with someone. When he saw the man come in, the man immediately stood up and said, "Second Young Master."

The man called the Second Young Master didn't even look at him, but walked directly to the old man and lowered his head and said, "Dad, I'm back."

The old man was still studying the chess game with his head down. He didn't raise his head when he heard it, but just asked casually, "Did you find it?"

The man nodded, "Yes, but the woman died more than ten years ago, one body and two lives." He paused, "The woman's man later married and had children."

The old man didn't know whether he was relieved or sighed when he heard it. He put down the white jade chess piece in his hand and reached for the cane on the side. The people who had just played chess with him hurried forward to help him. The old man stood up with the help, turned around and walked to the window behind him, looking at the withered garden outside in silence for a long time.

"Forget it, you've worked hard too, go down and rest first."

The man nodded, then got up and walked out.

After the man walked away, the old man turned back to the chessboard and sat down again, asking the person who had just played chess with him to sit down. After the person sat down stiffly, the old man said, "Check where Chery has been these two days."

"Didn't the second young master just come back?"

The old man didn't answer, but just sneered. How could he not know what kind of temper he had?

In the past, even if it was a big deal, the first thing he did when he got home was to take a shower, but this time he came back from another place and was able to reply to him as soon as possible. He didn't believe that his father would be more important than his cleanliness.

Xu Xu arrived in Beidu at dawn on the 9th. Because he had already said hello, the eight people, including the teacher, were picked up by the people sent by Mr. Shu and sent to a special guesthouse to rest.

Because the Shu family was a little far from the competition venue, and several students were taking a train for the first time and had been sitting for such a long time, the competition would be on the 10th, and the 9th had to rest well. Mr. Shu didn't take them home, but let them rest in the guesthouse opened outside.

The teacher who led the team was quite embarrassed and particularly grateful. He kept thanking the people sent by Mr. Shu, and Xu Xu had already found the phone at the front desk of the guesthouse.

It was less than six o'clock in the morning. Because it was winter, it would not be bright until seven or eight in the morning. Xu Xu did not want to disturb Ruan Jiaojiao's sleep so early, so he waited until seven thirty in the morning and called the Ruan family at the exact time when Ruan Jiaojiao was going out.

When his phone call came, Ruan Jiaojiao was eating breakfast. She had a bad appetite in the past few days. Today, she only ate one fried dough stick and didn't want to eat anymore. Just as she was about to go to school early with her schoolbag, she heard the phone ring.

As if they were in sync, Ruan Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly lit up and she rushed to the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, Xu Xu's voice came from the other side: "Jiaojiao, it's me."

Hearing Xu Xu's voice, Ruan Jiaojiao didn't know why she was so wronged: "I know, Brother Xu."
