Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Jealousy, Large and Small (7)_1 Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Jealousy, Large and Small (7)_1 âThis also looks nice.â Ruan Qun commented, eyeing a pair of small red leather shoes beside him with evident envy.
The shoes included red leather shoes and leather sandals, unlike the rubber sandals they were wearing on their feet. They not only looked more upscale but also appeared to be more comfortable to wear without causing discomfort.
Shu Jiao was thoughtful in her planning, considering that only Jianguo, the man of the house, would be at home. She probably guessed he wouldnât match the clothes well, so she had matched them all from head to toe, each item packed separately in bags.
âJiaojiao, look at all these pretty clothes, all sent by mom.â Jianguo lifted a white poofy skirt, holding it up in front of Ruan Jiaojiao.
Seeing these clothes, several times more numerous and matched so neatly compared to othersâ, even Jiaojiao had to admit that this mother must truly dote on the original owner of her body.
But why?
Why would the consciousness that still remained from the original owner have such resistance to news about her?
Ruan Jiaojiao was still influenced by the original ownerâs consciousness and did not feel too excited upon seeing these things. She didnât touch them but instead said to Jianguo, âDad, Iâm hungry. Iâm going to find Grandma first.â With those words, she turned and ran into the house.
Ruan Jiaojiaoâs reaction didnât quite seem like she was happy, leaving Jianguo somewhat surprised as he watched her leaving figure, taking a while to come back to his senses.
Ruan Jie was originally chatting with Ruan Chi, but his excitement also waned upon seeing this.
Meanwhile, Ruan Hao lowered his eyelids, deep in thought.
Ruan Jiaojiao ran into the house, where a member of the Ruanlin Family was sitting by the bed, her head lowered as her fingers traced the corner of the bed. When Jiaojiao entered, she quickly withdrew her hand, looking up at her in surprise. âWhy did you come in? Have you finished looking at all the stuff your mom sent you?â
âJiaojiao didnât look; my brothers were looking.â Ruan Jiaojiao said, climbing onto her lap with her little short legs, and the Ruanlin member naturally lifted her buttocks to help her up.
Face-to-face with her grandmother in her embrace, Ruan Jiaojiao looked up and asked, âGrandma, youâre not happy, right?â
Being so quickly seen through, and by her own little granddaughter at that, the elder felt a bit embarrassed and turned her gaze away unnaturally. âNonsense!â
âItâs true! Itâs true!â Ruan Jiaojiao hummed, her small hands encircling her neck.
As a seasoned observer, she felt she understood these emotions of the Ruanlin Family member, much like every time the female protagonist, Wa Yiting, came to their house. She always felt a sense of crisis.
She didnât like Wa Yiting trying to please her grandmother, nor would she allow her to steal Ruanlinâs attention.
Empathy.
Ruanlin must feel the same.
She didnât want Shu Jiao to steal her attention!
âGrandma, Jiaojiao really likes you, likes you the most. Donât be unhappy,â she pleaded, gently rocking as she hugged her neck, solemnly promising, âEven if mom comes back, Grandma will still be Jiaojiaoâs favorite person!â
âReally?â Ruanlin was still a bit shy but also tried to hide her full heart of joy, asking with some skepticism.
âYes!â Ruan Jiaojiao nodded vigorously and, thinking of Wa Yiting, she added, âGrandma has to like Jiaojiao the most, love Jiaojiao the most! You canât be nicer to anyone else than you are to Jiaojiao! Especially not Wa Yiting!â
Now Ruanlin truly laughed.
All her unease was completely healed by Ruan Jiaojiao.
She looked down and affectionately teased her little nose, saying in a loving tone, âYou little vinegar jar, when was I ever nicer to her than to Jiaojiao?â
Ruan Jiaojiao smiled too, âIf Jiaojiao is a little vinegar jar, then Grandma is a big vinegar jar!â
