The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

Chapter 2121: Chapter 2121: The Eighteenth Coming-of-Age Ceremony (Part 3)

Jiang Xun stood there with a sullen face, watching Jiaojiao walk away.

Once Jiang Xun was out of sight, Li Yaoyao smiled and said to Jiaojiao, "Actually, the class monitor is quite devoted. If you didn’t already have Duan Xi, I think he’s not bad either."

Jiang Xun is also a highly regarded scholar in the foreign language department, not to mention his good looks and excellent family background. It’s said his family is connected to the education bureau, making him a rare catch in the eyes of many girls in the department.

"Yaoyao, do you really mean it?" Jiaojiao turned to look at Li Yaoyao.

"What’s wrong?" Jiaojiao’s big reaction took Li Yaoyao by surprise. She was just speaking the truth. Though Jiang Xun may not measure up to Duan Xi in some aspects, he’s undeniably good-looking and comes from a great family. Plus, he’s been into Jiaojiao for years without wavering.

Jiaojiao noticed her reaction but understood why she felt that way. The drama between Jiang Xun, Feng Nianian, and Zhou Yun hadn’t spread around the school. Jiaojiao only knew about it from Yu Rou, and she wasn’t one to gossip, so no one at school knew about Jiang Xun’s love triangle.

"Forget it, let’s not talk about it." Jiaojiao waved her hand, unwilling to delve into Jiang Xun’s messy affairs.

Li Yaoyao nodded, realizing Jiaojiao’s distaste, and didn’t bring it up again.

During the class meeting on Wednesday, Jiaojiao went up in the last few minutes to say a few words, essentially inviting everyone to the Ruan Family hotel for lunch on Saturday.

The classmates knew she came from a wealthy family and that every year she’d give out red eggs for her birthday, but they hadn’t expected such a grand gesture this year by inviting them to a hotel, leaving them both excited and a bit embarrassed.

However, with Jiaojiao’s sincere invitation, all the classmates assured they’d be there.

Jiaojiao wrote the hotel’s address and phone number on the blackboard and handed out invitations to the teachers who had taught her. Thanks to Ruan Hao’s connections, most of the teachers knew her, and even the principal said they’d attend her coming-of-age ceremony.

Because of the loneliness passed down from the previous generation, Jiaojiao had always enjoyed lively occasions. There were still three days until her birthday, but she was filled with anticipation.

However, during these three days, something significant happened in the Lu Family.

Lu Xian had left the country after Jiaojiao’s engagement and had been gone for over three years now, not returning even for holidays. Though Zhao Li never mentioned it, she certainly felt it inside, but she avoided bringing it up in front of Jiaojiao, not wanting to burden her emotionally.

After all, when Lu Xian left the country, he claimed it was to understand the mobile market for Shu Jiao, but everyone knew the real reason.

Lu Zishu even said that he once saw his mother secretly crying at night, complaining to his father, Lu Zhiwei, about Lu Xian’s heartlessness, how he left three years ago and never returned even for holidays, and even wondered if it would take her death for him to come back.

Of course, Lu Zishu wouldn’t dare repeat these words when sober, only when drunk with Ruan Lei and the others.

Jiaojiao was there at the time and just had to pretend she knew nothing.

Over the years, she and Lu Xian barely kept in touch, only exchanging New Year’s greetings once a year.
