Chapter 950: Chapter 950: He Said He Wouldn’t Leave (10)

Madam Yuan suddenly blurted out such a sentence, leaving Shu Jiao completely stunned.

Madam Yuan seemed to have prepared herself to lay all her cards on the table. She did not stop there but continued, “Xiaojiao, I won’t beat around the bush anymore. Do you remember the person I took you to meet last time?”

“I’ve known him for decades. There are some things I originally didn’t intend to speak of, but now…” Madam Yuan paused here, her voice becoming hoarse and choked.

Winter is very cold, and these past few days have seen a continuous drizzle, the outside shrouded in a misty fog like a cloak. Accompanied by Madam Yuan’s aged voice, it felt like a memoir slowly unfolding in front of Shu Jiao.

In her early years, Madam Yuan had a daughter after having four sons. Like the Ruan Family, getting a baby girl was dearly cherished by everyone in the family.

However, the child was born at an inopportune time, during a rather chaotic era. Later, when tumultuous times came, to protect her entire family, Madam Yuan was compelled to abandon her in a desolate wilderness.

At this point, Madam Yuan was in tears, beating her chest in pain and guilt, uttering words of remorse.

Listening, Shu Jiao’s face showed no emotion, but inside, she was sneering continuously.

She didn’t know what ‘compelled’ really meant in Madam Yuan’s words. She only knew if it were her, she would die before letting anything happen to her Jiaojiao. If it was truly impossible to save both, she would rather die with her child! It’s always better than letting the child die and living alone!

“I owe that child too much, and to make up for it, I’ve considered many ways to allow her the opportunity of reincarnation, and now…”

“Now, are you implying that child is the reincarnated Jiaojiao, right?” Shu Jiao looked at Madam Yuan who hesitated before continuing her words.

Madam Yuan still had tears in her eyes, uncertain about what Shu Jiao was thinking.

All she could do was plead, “Xiaojiao, I don’t mean anything else, I just want… to be good to this child.”

“How so?” Shu Jiao countered.

“Do you think this time we failed to take good care of Jiaojiao, allowing her to fall ill and be hospitalized, and didn’t take good care of her?”

“Or do you think that our family circumstances are poor, so you want to take her away and provide her with a luxurious life?”

“Or maybe, you simply think she is your daughter, so compared to us, the failed parents of her past life, you are more qualified to take care of her?”

Shu Jiao is not one to mince her words; although she appears soft-spoken, she always speaks bluntly, especially when it comes to matters regarding Ruan Jiaojiao. She never leaves any room for ambiguity.

Having said that, she gave a mocking laugh, turned around, and looked at Madam Yuan who was stunned by her confrontation: “Auntie, don’t you find this absurd?”

Shu Jiao truly hadn’t expected there to be such absurd and shameless people in this world, who would use such reasons to try to take her daughter. Are they insane?

“Alright, stepping back, even if there is such a thing as reincarnation in this world, what about it? She was someone you abandoned with your own hands in her past life!”

“Xiaojiao, don’t be so agitated. I didn’t mean it that way, I didn’t intend to take her, I just didn’t want you to misunderstand my intentions. I want to be kind to her, just to make amends, I know the Ruan Family cherishes her, it’s just…”
