Chapter 778: Chapter 778 Watching a Movie (2)_1 Chapter 778: Chapter 778 Watching a Movie (2)_1 The Ruanlin Family had already arrived and was busy greeting guests along with Du Qing and Wu Le.

After Ruan Jiaojiao and Shu Jiao got out of the car, Zhao Li happened to come outside. She ran up to Ruan Jiaojiao, hugged Dabao first, thoroughly enjoying the moment before saying to Shu Jiao, “I’ll take Jiaojiao to meet some people. A few of my sisters came from my maiden home.”

Shu Jiao nodded, and Ruan Jiaojiao was then led away by Zhao Li.

When Ruan Jiaojiao emerged from the private room once again, Shu Jiao told her, “Over there, your grandma Yuan has also arrived. Go say hello. Later, Mom will find an excuse to take you away.”

Shu Jiao was now wary of the Yuan Family but couldn’t afford to sever ties and could only engage in such indirect tactics.

Ruan Jiaojiao obediently nodded and headed in the direction of the Yuan Family with Xiu Xi.

To this day, Ruan Jiaojiao still did not know what exactly had happened with the Yuan Family. Xiu Xi didn’t speak of it, and neither did Shu Jiao. Although she was curious, she was obedient. Now, when greeting Madam Yuan, she also acted as if she knew nothing.

Madam Yuan’s spirit seemed not as good as before.

However, when she saw Ruan Jiaojiao, her eyes, which were gradually growing murky, lit up, and she waved at Ruan Jiaojiao, gently complaining, “Jiaojiao, why haven’t you come to see grandma for so long?”

Last week, the Yuan Family’s driver had invited Ruan Jiaojiao over, but the Ruan Family refused, citing too many things happening at home.

Now, seeing Madam Yuan, Ruan Jiaojiao used the same excuse to respond, “Grandma, Jiaojiao had something happen at home last time, so she didn’t have time.” She did not promise to visit next time like before, but smoothly shifted the topic by asking, “Grandma, are you keeping well?”

“Yes, yes, as long as I can see Jiaojiao, grandma feels good, grandma is still waiting to see Jiaojiao marry and have children, how could I not be well?” Madam Yuan said cheerfully.

Madam Yuan used to be afraid of death, too afraid to die, but now she could not bear the thought of dying, only wishing to spend more time with Ruan Jiaojiao.

“Miss, the old madam was so sad you didn’t come last time. Look, she specifically instructed someone to buy this little cake for you, your favorite strawberry flavor,” Liu Ma said, subtly indicating to Ruan Jiaojiao that the old madam cherished her.

Ruan Jiaojia graciously thanked Madam Yuan and acted coquettishly. Just then, Shu Jiao pretended to have something urgent and approached, saying to Ruan Jiaojiao, “Jiaojiao, your godmother is calling for you, hurry and see what she wants.”

After speaking, she looked at Madam Yuan with a face full of apology, “Old Madam, I will take the child first, I’ll let her come back to keep you company in a while.”

Madam Yuan did not suspect anything and, though very reluctant, let go of Ruan Jiaojiao’s small hand and watched her being led away by Shu Jiao.

Until Ruan Jiaojiao’s figure was out of sight, Madam Yuan still couldn’t bear to withdraw her gaze.

Liu Ma, standing beside her, felt sorry for her and said in a low voice, “Old Madam, why don’t we bring Miss JiaoJiao over?”

With the Yuan Family’s current status and position, taking a child would be a trivial matter.

Liu Ma couldn’t understand why Madam Yuan would rather torture herself than speak up to the Ruan Family.

Madam Yuan shook her head and sighed, glancing at Liu Ma, “You wouldn’t understand.”

Liu Ma was her dowry maid and had never married or had children in her life, so she did not understand a mother’s feelings for her child; Madam Yuan had failed this child in the first half of her life, how could she bear to let her be sad and troubled in the second half?
