Chapter 869: Chapter 869: The Young Master of a Wealthy Family (5)
Compared to Ruan Jiaojiaoâs panic, the Ruanlin Family seemed very calm, and their words hit right at the heart of the old lady.
The old lady watched Ruan Jiaojiao, who was obviously resisting her and unusually close to the Ruanlin Family. The joy she had felt when bringing the property deeds had completely vanished, leaving only boundless sorrow.
Although she knew she had been reincarnated again, she had no memory of her past life and was mentally prepared, but actually facing this, seeing Jiaojiao close to others but resisting her and not accepting any of her kindness, she couldnât help feeling distressed.
These affections and dependencies used to belong only to her.
âMiss, the old lady went to many places to find this house for you, please donâtâŠâ Aunt Liu tried to persuade Ruan Jiaojiao, but was interrupted by the old lady.
âAunt Liu, stop talking.â
Aunt Liu pursed her lips, took back the property deeds into the bag, looking somewhat heartbroken at the old lady.
The old lady sighed deeply, raised her head, and beckoned Ruan Jiaojiao back to her side.
She took her hand again and said, âJiaojiao, grandma doesnât have many years left. The last property I showed you and this house will both be registered in your name, can you take them when you are older, is that okay?â The old lady was almost pleading, as if begging Ruan Jiaojiao.
Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, staying silent.
These things were too valuable, she really couldnât accept them, but seeing the old lady seemed very sad, she couldnât outright refuse, and had to replace it with silence.
The old ladyâs gaze gradually dimmed.
Ruanlin Family immediately came over to break the silence, changing the topic by asking, âGrandma Yeun rarely visits, should we have lunch here? Itâs all farmhouse food. Youâre used to delicacies; would you like to change your taste and try it?â
The old lady wanted to spend more time with Ruan Jiaojiao, and reluctantly nodded with a smile.
Even though Ruan Jiaojiao didnât accept her gift, she still looked somewhat subdued, but her eyes couldnât leave Ruan Jiaojiao at all, watching her eat breakfast, drink milk, her gaze as tender as looking at her own granddaughter.
And in that gaze, there was guilt and regret.
Ruanlin occasionally looked over and couldnât help but frown.
Thinking of what Shu Jiao had said, it made her somewhat uneasy.
Perhaps to others, it all seemed superstitious and unlikely to be effective, but for the Ruan Family it was different. The events that had happened to Ruan Jiaojiao were enough to make them believe that everything in this world has its causes and effects.
Why the old lady sowed such karmic debts, she didnât know, but she knew if these were not retributed upon her, they would fall on her descendants.
Close as Ruan Jiaojiao was to her, how could it be good if it really fell on her?
The Ruan Familyâs lunch is always on time, usually at noon. After Ruan Jiaojiao finished her breakfast and milk and talked with the old lady for a while, she actively helped Ruanlin Family to pick vegetables from the old house.
When they went out, it was Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi together; Meat Meat ran to the front, playing merrily with its pack of dog brothers in a lively chase.
As they walked, Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly heard Xiu Xi saying next to her: âI can afford a villa too.â
