Chapter 740: Chapter 740: Price Hike upon Seating (2)_1 Chapter 740: Chapter 740: Price Hike upon Seating (2)_1 By the time Ruan Jianguo and Ruan Jiandang came over, the old man was stunned and looked up at them.

Ruan Jiaojiao quietly covered her eyes, feeling that the scene before her was simply unbearable to watch. This old man, in front of her father and second uncle, looked as tiny as a child.

Clearly, the old man had not expected his wife’s former man to be like this, and his expression stiffened as well.

He was both annoyed and embarrassed, yet these two men were ones he couldn’t afford to offend.

He had no choice but to hold back his anger and start apologizing to them again.

Ruan Jianguo blocked his attempt to bend over, “You’re so much older than me; with such a bow, you’d be shortening our lives. Just speak plainly about the matter, how do you think we should resolve this?”

“What do you mean ‘how to resolve’? Ruan Wei is my child, and I want to take him back. Ruan Jun and Ruan Chi are yours to keep; I don’t want them, I only want Ruan Wei.” Liao Zhaoji, sitting on the side, immediately yelled out upon hearing this.

“I don’t want to go with you!” Ruan Wei also immediately refused, without any hesitation.

The scene that Liao Zhaoji caused today had thoroughly wounded his heart, leaving him with no expectations whatsoever from this mother.

Liao Zhaoji’s face changed as she walked over holding the baby, her face full of sorrow: “Xiaowei, how can you say that? Don’t you miss your mother? Weren’t you still good with your mother a few days ago? Is it them, have they been inciting you, turning you against me?”

By the end, Liao Zhaoji was livid, convinced that the Ruan Family had been scheming behind her back to suddenly estrange Ruan Wei from her.

Ruan Wei looked at Liao Zhaoji squatting in front of him and felt for the first time how repulsive she was.

Looking at her, he didn’t even want to speak another word to her.

But Liao Zhaoji thought he was moved by what she said, and while thrilled inside, she still maintained a sorrowful facade. Pointing at the big-headed doll in her arms, she said, “Look, mom knows you like your sister, so she gave birth to a little sister especially for you. Mom loves you, okay? Will you come with mom?”

“You’re simply nauseating!” the Ruanlin Family matriarch spat out in disgust, never having seen anyone so shameless.

Liao Zhaoji’s face changed, but she forcibly held back her feelings, pretending not to hear the matriarch’s words, and continued to speak to Ruan Wei, “Xiaowei, say something, won’t you? Do you want to go with mom? Mom will love and cherish you from now on.”

“From now on, mom will only have you as her child. Whatever you want, mom will buy it for you, bringing you meals every day at noon just like in the past few days, okay?”

“What about her, isn’t she your child too?” Ruan Wei asked, pointing at the girl doll in her arms.

“She, of course, can’t compare to you. She’s going to get married off someday. How could mom cherish her like I do you? Mom loves you the most, and I promise, she’ll never measure up to you,” Liao Zhaoji assured, thinking he was concerned about her having another daughter.

“…” Ruan Wei.

Utter disappointment.

Ruan Wei said nothing. Liao Zhaoji grew anxious and finally reached out with both hands toward Ruan Wei’s shoulders, trying to shake him, urging him to respond, but her hands hadn’t even touched Ruan Wei when he forcefully pushed her away.

“Get away from me, you’re making me sick!” Ruan Wei finally broke down and yelled, his face full of loathing.

Liao Zhaoji, pushed by Ruan Wei, staggered and ended up sitting on the ground, taking a long time to recover her senses.
