Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Obsession During Lifetime (4)_1 Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Obsession During Lifetime (4)_1 Ruan Jiaojiao furrowed her brows, looking at him with surprise. She couldn’t believe he mentioned Liao Zhaoji so calmly; after all, his reaction back then had frightened quite a few people. Following that incident, almost no one brought up Liao Zhaoji anymore, fearing it would upset him.

She hadn’t expected him to bring it up on his own, and in such a light-hearted tone.

Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly found herself unsure of his attitude.

“Did you all think I’d gone mad?” he asked, then laughed self-deprecatingly, “And that I hated her to the core?”

“Brother Chi?” Ruan Jiaojiao was genuinely worried this time, grasping his hand.

Ruan Chi realized he had scared her, and quickly patted her small hand to comfort her: “Don’t be afraid, Brother Chi is fine.”

“Listen to me seriously.”

“Actually, Brother Chi doesn’t hate her at all, really doesn’t hate her, Brother Chi isn’t lying to you.”

“She is my mother, she gave birth to me. No matter how she treated me, she brought me up. It’s just that she will never change, I know that. I’ve seen since I was young how she patched things up for grandma, for many years. And my dad, he’s too soft-hearted, there was a time when I was really afraid he would relent and fail to see clearly.”

“So I made a scene on purpose, just hoping to scare him and make him not bring her back again.”

“I did so many things, all because I didn’t want her to come back to this family, but I don’t hate her, I really don’t hate her.”

“Brother Chi…” Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him, her voice saddened.

In that life when another person had taken over her body, the second uncle’s family hadn’t gone through these upheavals. She knew that these upheavals were truly brought by her, even though she was the real Ruan Jiaojiao.

But she felt sorry for Ruan Chi, even though she had no regrets, because compared to Liao Zhaoji, she was happier to have saved this little brother.

“Jiaojiao, I don’t know why you had a falling-out with your aunt, but let me tell you, compared to me, you’re really lucky because your aunt truly loves you. Think about my mom, then think about your aunt, see if it isn’t so.”

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, fully aware of the truth.

Shu Jiao was not at fault, truly not at fault.

And what she really couldn’t accept wasn’t that she had gone away for a year without returning, but rather…

Ruan Jiaojiao looked down, “Brother, I know what to do.”

“Brother knows Jiaojiao is the smartest, and you don’t need to find Brother Chi annoying. Brother Chi just hopes that you won’t have regrets in the future.”

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded.

Ruan Chi looked at Ruan Jiaojiao with her head down, carefully avoiding the scar on the top of her head as he touched it gently. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Shu Jiao, who had arrived at some point, and stood up.

As he passed by, Ruan Chi paused beside Shu Jiao and gave her a timid smile.

With her eyes reddening, Shu Jiao smiled back at him.

After Ruan Chi left, Shu Jiao walked over to Ruan Jiaojiao’s side.

Ruan Jiaojiao, lost in thought with her head down, didn’t notice the change in company. When she finally looked up, she saw Shu Jiao, dressed in white pants, sitting on the steps next to her, not minding the dirt at all.

“Jiaojiao, what are you thinking about?” Shu Jiao asked after sitting down.

“Nothing much.” Ruan Jiaojiao shook her head and averted her gaze.

Seeing that Sanmao had finished drinking her milk and wasn’t rushing over, instead circling around with her kitten-like legs, meowing a couple of times, and getting a reply from the mother goat’s bleating before scampering over.
