Chapter 602: Chapter 602 Two Years Later (3)_1 Chapter 602: Chapter 602 Two Years Later (3)_1 ââŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao. Wasnât he supposed to be the best little buddy?
We grew up together as childhood sweethearts, is he really that stingy?
Seeing Ruan Jiaojiaoâs little face scrunch up, Xiu Xi didnât understand why, but he still said, âYou wonât be left in dire straits, I will take care of you.â He would earn a lot of money, allowing her to live the best life in the world, just like back in the forest, where their food and shelter were always the best.
At these words, Ruan Jiaojiaoâs previously sullen face finally brightened. So that was what he meant. She had thought he was so miserly that he wouldnât even lend some money to a little buddy.
Howeverâ
âBrother Xi, I donât need you to take care of me. You will have your own partner in the future, and if you were to take care of me, your partner would be unhappy. Anyway, my parents will take care of me. Itâs just that if Iâm short of money in the future, you have to lend me some,â Ruan Jiaojiao felt she had a proper set of principles as a young girl, and couldnât be the kind of buddy that annoys others.
âMhm, take care of a partner in the future.â Xiu Xi didnât argue but simply repeated her words.
As the New Year passed, the date for the start of school drew ever nearer.
The three from the Shu Family were also starting their journeys back to their respective places.
Shu Wen had arrived the latest but was the first to leave. On the day she left, she was so reluctant to leave, crying and hugging Ruan Jiaojiao, that if Xiu Xi hadnât been holding onto Ruan Jiaojiaoâs little hand so tightly, she might have just taken her along in the truck, packing her up and whisking her away.
Ruan Jiaojiao was also very reluctant to say goodbye to this aunt and cried along with her. Seeing her cry, Xiu Xi became anxious, afraid she would follow suit. After Shu Wen left, he kept close by Ruan Jiaojiaoâs side.
After a few tense days of watching over her, just as his nerves were starting to relax, Shu Lang had to leave.
Compared to Shu Wen, Shu Langâs emotions seemed much more stable. He hugged Ruan Jiaojiao and then got in the car and left. He had driven here and would drive back, so he set out two days in advance.
After sending off Shu Lang, the entire Ruan Family seemed much emptier.
Ruan Jiaojiao began to feel especially reluctant to part with Old Master Shu and would stick by his side whenever she had a moment. But time is always fleeting, and no matter how much they dreaded it, the day of departure arrived.
During his days with the Ruan Family, Old Master Shu was in high spirits, and with the Lingzhi that Changchong had sent later for nourishment, his health recovered exceptionally well, almost indistinguishable from before his illness, and even his graying hair gradually darkened.
Ruanlin Family was experiencing the same effects; her hair was gradually darkening too, as she also continued to drink Ganoderma Water.
But perhaps because they were always around, no one noticed anything unusual.
Only Liang Weiâan, who came from Beidu specifically to pick up Old Master Shu, was taken aback when he saw him. He hadnât expected that in just over a month of not seeing him, Old Master Shu would look so rejuvenated, with even his white hair turning black again?
It was then that the Ruan Family realized what had happened, but they dared not say much, only suggesting that Old Master Shu felt at ease in body and mind, and the clean air and environment of the countryside had played a significant role in his transformation.
Liang Weiâan didnât think much of it and didnât stay long at the Ruan Familyâs place. He arrived in the morning and left with Old Master Shu in the afternoon. Before Old Master Shu departed, he sighed as he looked at the two children holding hands tightly together.
In fact, before coming to the Ruan Family, he had a plan in mind, which was to take Ruan Jiaojiao with him.
He always felt the Ruan Familyâs circumstances were not good, and Ruan Jiaojiao must not be living well. He wanted to bring her back to Beidu so she could enjoy a life of luxury and set a high starting point for her future prospects.
