Chapter 289 - 289 289 Heart Disease (6)_1

Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Heart Disease (6)_1 Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Heart Disease (6)_1 Ruan Jun was afraid he would hurt himself, so he could only stop and kept reassuring him, “Ruan Chi, Ruan Chi, put down the knife, we won’t go, please put it down!”

“Xiaowu, put down the knife first, don’t hurt yourself!” Ruan Jianguo also said.

“Yeah, Xiaowu, quickly put it down. We absolutely won’t go,” Ruan Jianjun and Ruan Jianmin also declared one after another, and other members of the Ruan Family assured that they definitely would not go.

But Ruan Chi had already fallen into madness, his eyes red, staring intently at Ruan Jiandang.

“Dad, swear, swear, swear a poisonous oath that you will never have anything to do with the Liao Family again, you all swear, or I’ll go die right now!”

Ruan Chi shouted, his whole body trembling almost uncontrollably.

His emotions were clearly on the verge of collapse.

He could no longer hear anything, nor see anything, trapped in his own emotions.

He loathed Liao Zhaoji to the core—every time she came to the Ruan Family, his hatred increased. He had always suppressed it fiercely until today when he couldn’t hold back anymore, even collapsing completely!

Seeing Ruan Chi in such an extreme state, Ruan Jiaojiao’s heart ached tremendously.

She wanted to step forward, but Xiu Xi at her side was holding her hand, not letting her move forward.

“Xiu Brother, let go, let me go, my brother won’t hurt me,” Ruan Jiaojiao pleaded with Xiu Xi, deeply believing this to be true.

Xiu Xi looked at her, then at Ruan Chi over there, and finally, his gaze landed on the chubby figure crouching behind Ruan Chi, and slowly, he released his hand.

Everyone else was still persuading Ruan Chi, making oaths, and giving their promises, but Ruan Chi was so agitated that he couldn’t hear anything. The knife pressed against his neck was sinking into his flesh, deeper and deeper, and blood was wetting his collar.

Even the Ruanlin Family was helpless at this moment, not knowing what to do, filled with an overwhelming sense of urgency and heartache.

At this time, they saw Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly step out, and everyone was startled. Ruan Jianguo instinctively wanted to pull her back but feared startling the already cracked Ruan Chi, so he had to hold back with great effort.

The Ruanlin Family clenched their fists, watching Ruan Jiaojiao slowly walk over, using all their strength not to reach out and pull her back.

“Brother…” Ruan Jiaojiao slowly approached Ruan Chi, her voice softer and sweeter than ever before.

She wasn’t crying, but her pursed little mouth and the tearful look in her eyes were enough to catch Ruan Chi’s attention.

Ruan Jiaojiao was actually quite scared too.

Of course, not of being hurt by Ruan Chi; she deeply believed he wouldn’t hurt her. She was scared that he might accidentally hurt himself.

Pouting her little mouth, she walked towards him slowly, very slowly, like a turtle inching forward.

Seeing that Ruan Chi was just staring at her blankly without getting emotionally agitated, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When she reached him, she then extended her small arms, using a very, very aggrieved voice, “Brother, I’m scared, Jiaojiao is scared, Jiaojiao is really scared…”

As she spoke, her voice began to choke, carrying a sobbing tone, “Brother, Jiaojiao is scared, can you hug Jiaojiao, please?”

Ruan Chi watched Ruan Jiaojiao slowly approach him.

Seeing the tears in her eyes, hearing her incredibly wronged voice, calling out in fear, the chaos in his mind suddenly cleared.

He quickly dropped the kitchen knife from his hand, looking somewhat helplessly at Ruan Jiaojiao approaching him, and reached out to hold her in his arms, instinctively comforting her, “Don’t be scared, don’t be scared, brother is here, brother is here, Jiaojiao, don’t be scared, okay.”
