Chapter 949: Chapter 949 He Said He Wouldn’t Leave (9)

It was only two days, yet Ruan Jiaojiao had lost a lot of weight. Yuan Family’s old lady stood by the bed, heartachingly said, “Jiaojiao has lost so much weight.”

“These two days have been very hard on her, Grandma Yuan came to drink tea,” said Ruanlin Family, passing the tea over.

Liu Ma took it and handed it to the old lady of the Yuan Family, saying, “The conditions here are not very good, why not send her to the city? Madam has already spoken with the eldest young master, just send her directly.”

“Yes, Grandma Jiaojiao, the conditions here indeed aren’t as good as in the city. Our two families have close relations, it’s better to send Jiaojiao to the hospital in the city,” the old lady of the Yuan Family said after sipping her tea.

“It’s fine, it’s fine, that’s too much trouble, Jiaojiao is not in serious trouble now,” Ruanlin Family said indifferently, still smiling.

“That’s not what her grandma says, miss’s injury could be severe or minor, the town hospital’s conditions definitely don’t match the city’s, it’s better to send her to the city. Our lady has already talked to the eldest young master, a car will come to pick her up this afternoon, you all don’t need to do anything, it’s not troublesome at all,” Liu Ma said in a somewhat forceful tone.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Ruanlin Family’s face disappeared.

Having always been wary of the Yuan Family and feeling that they had dragged her granddaughter into trouble, now hearing Liu Ma’s forceful tone and constant reference to her as ‘miss’ gave the impression that her granddaughter belonged to the Yuan Family, which made her visibly upset.

She was not someone new to social interactions. Hearing this, she looked at Liu Ma with a mockingly smiling glance, seemingly smiling but the chill in her tone was noticeable, “What Liu Ma says isn’t right, Jiaojiao is our Ruan Family’s granddaughter, whether it’s troublesome or not, it’s our business, there’s no need to bother you to come to pick her up, besides, Liu Ma, your words are quite hurtful.”

“People who know might say the Yuan Family is fond of our Jiaojiao, those who don’t know might think our Ruan Family can’t handle things, can’t even take care of a child. Of course, I know Liu Ma means well, but rumors are dreadful, the hospital is filled with people, everyone has a mouth, it’s better if Liu Ma considers her words more.”

Liu Ma has been with the old lady of the Yuan Family since childhood, aside from some early unfortunate years, no one ever spoke to her like this, even the four young masters and juniors of the Yuan Family respected her.

Now being rebuked by Ruanlin Family like this, her old face indeed looked quite awkward.

Seeing this, the old lady of the Yuan Family immediately scolded Liu Ma, then turned to Ruanlin Family, “Grandma Jiaojiao, Liu Ma is just concerned and chaotic, she loves Jiaojiao just as much as I do, that’s why she was a bit hasty, don’t take this to heart.”

Ruanlin Family immediately responded with a smile, “What is there for me to mind? I just hope Liu Ma doesn’t fuss with this old woman. Having stayed in the countryside for long, I’m a bit blunt in speech, don’t take it to heart, Liu Ma.”

Liu Ma had a tense face and did not utter a word, Ruanlin Family did not bother with her further.

Seeing no way through with Ruanlin Family, the old lady of the Yuan Family could only turn to Xiaojiao with struggle and mental preparation, saying, “Xiaojiao, can I have a word with you?”

Xiaojiao looked at the genuine expression of the old lady of the Yuan Family and nodded her head, standing up to walk outside first.

The two walked deep into the corridor, Liu Ma leading the way, the old lady of the Yuan Family no longer intended to conceal anything, but instead directly said, “Xiaojiao, since the incident with the Amulet, I knew you believe in reincarnation,”
