Chapter 373 - 373 373 Evil Thoughts (3) _1

Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Evil Thoughts (3) _1 Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Evil Thoughts (3) _1 She never intended to get involved in the original host’s grudges and grievances; she just wanted to be a transparent supporting character, devotedly protect the Ruan family, grow up happily, and forever be with them, living blissful and joyful days.

She really didn’t want to clash with her, nor did she want to have anything to do with her and the male lead.

But she just had to reach out to her.

So don’t blame her for being rude now; with the advantage of timing, location, and people on her side, it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with her harshly.

She glanced at Wa Yiting who was shaking with fear and trembling, and then turned to the several older brothers, “Brothers, let her go.”

Little Fatty was somewhat reluctant, but they always listened to what Ruan Jiaojiao said, so they had to let her go, grudgingly, of course. However, they didn’t forget to give a necessary warning, “Wa Yiting, I’m warning you, if you dare to bully my sister again, we brothers won’t let you off!”

With teary eyes, Wa Yiting glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao and then ran off biting her lip.

Behind them, Shu Lang parked the car and walked over, with Meat Meat running ahead of him. He saw Wa Yiting running away and chased after her for a few steps, but was called back by Ruan Jiaojiao.

“Is she a friend of Jiaojiao? Why didn’t you invite her into the house to sit down?” Shu Lang asked curiously, squatting in front of Ruan Jiaojiao to help her sweep away the wet strands of hair on her forehead.

“She’s not my friend at all,” Ruan Qun replied, his eyes full of undisguised disgust and his tone was incredibly angry, “Last time, sister was pushed into the river by her and almost drowned. Aunt punished sister for this, and Aunt used to be the one who loved sister the most!”

“What do you mean?” Shu Lang’s brows immediately furrowed upon hearing this, and he stood up, “Jiaojiao almost drowned?”

Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at Ruan Qun, who then fell silent ruefully.

After that incident happened, they had wanted to find Wa Yiting and give her trouble, but Ruan Jiaojiao wouldn’t allow it, nor would she let them talk about it outside.

They had always complied until now, but after holding it in for so long, they inevitably felt some resentment; Shu Lang’s question had them blurting out in a burst of anger.

And Shu Lang’s expression upon hearing about the incident was far more grave than they had anticipated.

He bent down, picked up Ruan Jiaojiao, and said to the boys, “All of you, come with me.” Having said that, he turned and walked ahead.

“Uncle?” Ruan Jiaojiao struggled a bit when he suddenly picked her up, but upon seeing that Shu Lang’s expression was off, she swallowed back her words quietly.

When Shu Lang showed her affection, it was truly like basking in the warm spring breeze, his eyes full of doting, as if he could pluck the stars from the sky for her.

But when he became serious, that expression, that gaze, was really frightening.

Ruan Jiaojiao and the boys were all intimidated, exchanging anxious glances, and followed behind him somewhat lost, heading back to the apartment.

Ruan Qun regretted it tremendously and scratched his face in annoyance, cursing his own loose lips for not staying shut.

The Ruanlin Family matriarch was busy in the kitchen preparing lunch when she saw the boys return and asked with a tone of disdain at the door, “Why are you back? Looking for another free meal?”

The boys looked at each other and then back at her, none daring to speak up.

After setting Ruan Jiaojiao down, Shu Lang turned to the Ruanlin Family matriarch and said, “Auntie, come over here, I have something I need to ask you.”

The somberness of Shu Lang’s expression made the Ruanlin Family matriarch a bit nervous. She wiped her hands on the apron she was wearing and approached, asking, “What is it? Did the boys…”
