Chapter 639 - 639 639 Mrs. Yuan (1)_1

Chapter 639: Chapter 639 Mrs. Yuan (1)_1 Chapter 639: Chapter 639 Mrs. Yuan (1)_1 Ruan Jianguo, embarrassed, scratched his head and didn’t try to defend himself; he just chuckled sheepishly.

He knew that both Shu Jiao and Mrs. Ruanlin despised him for being boorish with his newfound wealth, but he wasn’t trying to show off. It was just that he remembered how his daughter and wife had suffered with him in the past, and now that he had money, he immediately wanted to give them the best things in the world. He truly wasn’t out to show off.

After arriving home, Ruan Jiaojiao had lunch and then went to sleep. When she came downstairs after waking up, she heard Mrs. Ruanlin seemingly scolding someone. Mrs. Ruanlin’s voice was very low, as if she deliberately didn’t want someone to overhear.

But at this time, apart from her, the only other person in the house was Xiu Xi.

Xiu Xi had gone out to the hills early in the morning and hadn’t even come back for lunch, so it couldn’t have been him. That left only her as the possible subject of the scolding.

Driven by curiosity, she unconsciously lightened her footsteps and tiptoed downstairs, pricking up her little ears to listen.

“Xiaobai, you didn’t reveal your identity, did you?”

“Hiss hiss…” I’m too clever for that.

“You did it late at night, right?”

“Hiss hiss…” Of course.

“…” Ruan Jiaojiao.

“Let’s not tell Jiaojiao about this, so as not to scare her,” said Mrs. Ruanlin.

“Hiss hiss…” Don’t worry, I’m very tight-lipped.

“Although there was no need to do it, thinking about it, it’s justified. If Naibao hadn’t been lucky, those shards of glass could have flown into her eyes. Yes, thinking about it, it’s justified!” Mrs. Ruanlin said this and nodded firmly.

“???” Ruan Jiaojiao blinked in confusion.

Who were they talking about?

When Ruan Jiaojiao reached the bottom of the stairs, Mrs. Ruanlin immediately quieted down upon seeing her, and Xiaobai also retreated under the stairs to continue sleeping.

“…” Ruan Jiaojiao.

She didn’t know when her grandma and Xiaobai had suddenly become so close. She’d seen them whispering to each other more than once but had no idea how they communicated.

Seeing that Mrs. Ruanlin didn’t want to talk about it, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t plan to ask.

Just then, a car horn suddenly sounded outside. Mrs. Ruanlin frowned, initially thinking it was Jianguo coming back. She muttered something about him honking the horn for no reason and went out, only to find it wasn’t Ruan Jianguo.

It was the Yuan Family’s chauffeur, who often came to pick up Ruan Jiaojiao.

“Uncle Gu, what brings you here?” The chauffeur’s surname was Gu, and Ruan Jiaojiao always addressed him as such.

After greeting Mrs. Ruanlin, the chauffeur then said to Ruan Jiaojiao, “Miss Jiaojiao, my family’s old madam’s condition has worsened. Our young master has asked for you to visit. Is it convenient for you now?”

“Her condition has worsened? But wasn’t she alright the last time I saw her? Has she been to the hospital, has she been checked?” Mrs. Ruanlin, upon hearing this, immediately asked with concern.

The chauffeur nodded: “She’s been seen to, but the doctor says it’s a mental state issue. So, the young master would like Miss Jiaojiao to accompany the old madam, as she is very fond of her.”

“Of course.” Mrs. Ruanlin nodded. The Yuan Family’s old madam had been truly kind to Ruan Jiaojiao over the years, sending her all kinds of treats and gifts with the affection one would for a dear granddaughter.

“Then Jiaojiao, you should go,” said Mrs. Ruanlin.

“Alright. I’ll go now, grandma. If Xiu Xi comes back, please tell him I’ve gone to Grandma Yuan’s house,” said Ruan Jiaojiao. She hadn’t expected the old madam’s condition to suddenly worsen and was anxious remembering how good she’d been to her. She immediately followed the chauffeur to the car.
