Chapter 906: A GOOD PERSON
YU JIAO stared at her phone and the corner of her lips unconsciously turned up. She was looking at the two pictures of Luo Ren that she saved. When Luo Yan added her to the group chat and she saw those pictures, she almost choked on the water she\'s drinking.She actually wasn\'t sure which one she should be shocked about. Those pictures or the fact that Luo Yan added her to a group chat which only had his families in it. Well, minus, Shen Ji Yun. Since he\'s now Luo Yan\'s boyfriend, he already counted as a family.
But she didn\'t have any time to think because messages started to appear in the chat log. She didn\'t want to be rude so she also sent a message. But then, the conversation just started to turn weird. So, she decided to leave and say that she had to get ready for school. Which was not a lie. She was indeed about to eat breakfast.
"What makes you smile so happily?" suddenly asked her mother.
The two of them were currently eating breakfast. After they moved in this apartment, she decided to not live in the school dorms anymore. The point of her living there was so she could avoid Mo Jian. But now that her mother was divorced with Mr. Mo, there\'s no need for her to do that.
"Nothing. Yan Yan just sent me something funny," Yu Jiao answered, avoiding her mother\'s gaze so the other wouldn\'t notice that she wasn\'t fully telling the truth.
Ji Xiuying remembered the teenager who became friends with her daughter. It had been quite a while since she last saw the other. "You should invite him here for dinner sometimes. Tell him I\'ll cook that pork dumpling he likes so much last time."
"Okay, Mom," Yu Jiao said.
Ji Xiuying smiled involuntarily remembering the last time Luo Yan visited here. The other didn\'t have any air of arrogance around him. Something that\'s probably rare for someone born into such a rich family. That\'s why she really liked the kid.
It\'s just a shame that there was nothing remotely romantic between her daughter and Luo Yan. At first she tried to tease her daughter about her relationship with the other. But Yu Jiao only looked at her as if she said something really weird.
It was the first time she saw that kind of expression on her daughter. Like someone who was being forced to eat a delicious food that just so happened to not suit their taste. Seeing that kind of reaction, Ji Xiuying no longer tried to tease Yu Jiao about Luo Yan since then.
"Really, how good it would be if Yan Yan became my son-in-law," she said, subconsciously voicing out her own thoughts.
"Mom, please, Yan Yan is my friend," Yu Jiao said with a helpless expression.
She was about to add that Luo Yan also now had a boyfriend, good thing he managed to stop herself before she did that. She didn\'t exactly know how to explain that to her mother without fumbling it up. So, it\'s better to just not say it.
"I know, I know," Ji Xiuying said. "Can\'t you blame your mother for wanting to match a good boy with her one and only lovely daughter?"
[And that good boy is now perfectly match to another good boy.] – Yu Jiao thought as a response.
It was then that her phone rang. When she saw Luo Ren\'s name on the caller ID, she stood up and said, "Mom, I\'ll just take this call."
She then walked to her room and answered the call as soon as she closed the door.
"Brother Ren?" There was no immediate answer from the other end of the line. So, Yu Jiao repeated, "Brother?"
"Ahem. Sorry. I—" Yu Jiao then heard a long sigh. "You\'ve seen the photos, right?"
She didn\'t expect that the other would call her because of that. So, she didn\'t know exactly how she should react. She could only tentatively say, "Yes, I did."
"Tell me the honestly, is it bad?"
"No, of course not!" Yu Jiao quickly said. "Just as I said in the group chat, Brother Ren\'s pictures are not that bad."
"But it\'s not good either, right?"
Yu Jiao wasn\'t able to answer quickly. But since Luo Ren was looking for honesty, it would be more rude if she actually lied. "Well, the make-up was certainly a tad bit too thick. With Brother Ren\'s handsomeness, a light make-up would suffice. It wouldn\'t look too weird either. The resulting picture would probably be a lot better."
Once again, there was only silence from the other end of the line. Yu Jiao started to worry that the other was offended by what she said. Before she could say anything to explain, the other finally spoke;
"You think I\'m handsome?"
Yes, Luo Ren was far from being offended. In fact, right now, the corner of his lips had already turned into a huge grin. Showing just how happy he was hearing Yu Jiao call him handsome. To the point that he had even forgotten all the embarrassment he had felt since he saw those photos.
Yu Jiao was startled when she heard the question. Out of all the things she said, that\'s really the one Luo Ren focused on. But for some reason, the question actually made her flustered.
It\'s like if she admitted at this moment that the other was indeed handsome, she would even be more embarrassed. But she couldn\'t exactly say otherwise when she was the one who mentioned it first.
"I- I mean- isn\'t that something already so obvious?" she blurted out at the end.
She heard Luo Ren chuckle after.
"Indeed," the other said. "I hope the photos Yan Yan took won\'t let you think less of me."
The sudden serious turn, once again, made Yu Jiao unable to respond quickly. But still, at the end, she said, "Of course not! A couple of photos don\'t represent who you are as a person. I- Brother Ren is a good person and no amount of embarrassing photos could change that."
