Chapter 689: Chapter 689 The Sister Over There (4)_1 Chapter 689: Chapter 689 The Sister Over There (4)_1 The Ruanlin Family felt such extreme aversion towards Liao Zhaoji that she didnât even want to utter an extra word to her, and bluntly said to Ruan Jiandang, âDeal with your familyâs mess yourself!â
After speaking, she didnât pay any more attention to Ruan Wei and walked away.
Towards Liao Zhaoji, the Ruanlin Family had indeed reached the peak of annoyance, so much that she lost any desire to speak further.
Ruan Wei watched the Ruanlin Family walk away with impatience, and tears promptly filled his eyes.
Ruan Jiandang also stood up and said to Ruan Wei, âCome back with me.â
Ruan Wei picked up his backpack and glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao one more time. Ruan Jiaojiao didnât know what to say and could only watch him being taken away by his second uncle.
In a sense, Ruan Jiaojiao did understand Ruan Wei. When his second uncle and Liao Zhaoji divorced, Ruan Wei was only nine years old. Unlike Ruan Chi, he must have been longing for maternal love.
Moreover, Ruan Chi wasnât without yearning either; itâs just that he was older than Ruan Wei and the harm Liao Zhaoji caused him was so great that he could firmly cut off that mother-son bond.
But Ruan Wei was different. Being younger, he couldnât see the full picture and had too much attachment to Liao Zhaoji. It was Ruan Chi who had forcefully made him give up thinking of Liao Zhaoji, rather than it being his own decision.
So when Liao Zhaoji came knocking again, thatâs why he wavered, and hid it, fearing discovery because he knew they would stop him.
Ruan Jiaojiao knew that although the Ruanlin Family seemed disdainful of her brothers on the surface, she actually cherished them deeply. Worried about her being upset, she quickly went to find her and, indeed, saw her sitting in the kitchen, staring blankly out the window at the goats grazing.
âGrandma,â Ruan Jiaojiao nestled into her embrace.
âWhy are you here, Jiaojiao?â the Ruanlin Family asked, no longer able to lift her up, but instead enveloping her in a hug.
âIs Grandma upset?â Ruan Jiaojiao looked up and asked.
âNot really,â the Ruanlin Family shook her head and smoothed the hair by Jiaojiaoâs ear, âWhat should I be sad about? Liao Zhaoji is what she is, and she has nothing to do with me.â
âThen Grandma is worried about the brothers.â
âYes,â the Ruanlin Family nodded, âShe came asking for medicine money, as if itâs any significant amount. Your second uncle isnât lacking that little money now, but itâs not a question of money, itâs about principle.â
âPeople like Liao Zhaoji are like plaster, once they stick to you, you can never shake them off. Iâm afraid your second uncle and your brother will get confused.â Of course, this confusion was something she absolutely would not allow them to have.
âThen you need to explain it clearly to second uncle, just tell him that Jun brother is going to university soon and Chi brother is still in high school. Both will need a lot of money. Iâll talk to Wei brother about it.â
âYou will?â The Ruanlin Family couldnât help but laugh and teased her little nose, âHow will you say it?â
Ruan Jiaojiao, seeing her laugh, couldnât help but laugh too and said with a stubborn air, âIâll throw a tantrum. Iâll tell Wei brother that if heâs fond of that sister, then Jiaojiao wonât play with him anymore, will never bother with him again, and wonât be his sister anymore. After all, Jiaojiao has many brothers, and wonât be lacking just him.â
âYou, hahaâŠâ The Ruanlin Family was amused by her words and laughed heartily, instantly feeling better.
Really, what trouble could a person like Liao Zhaoji cause? None, they were just irksome. Just hearing that name could ruin oneâs mood.
But as Ruan Jiaojiao said, although Ruan Wei was young and might still have feelings for Liao Zhaoji, his affection for those on the Ruan Familyâs side was definitely deeper. There wasnât much to worry about.
