Chapter 978: Chapter 978: It’s the Season of Love (4)

She had only seen them but never tasted them.

Seeing the Ruan Family finish an apple then move on to bananas, and after bananas comes pomegranates, at such a young age, she naturally couldn’t help but feel extreme envy.

Unable to resist, she said to the Ruanlin Family, “Grandma, your granddaughter is truly blessed.” So blessed that it incites jealousy, involuntarily making one wish to take her place and enjoy that happiness.

Ruan Jiaojiao actually quite agreed with this statement; she indeed was very fortunate.

The pomegranate was quite large; she couldn’t finish it by herself anyway. Xiu Xi peeled a small portion for her, which she then refused, full and satisfied, in a good mood, she turned and nestled into Shu Jiao’s arms and fell asleep.

This sleep went straight through to midday, with calls for box lunches echoing through the train corridor.

Ruan Jiaojiao had eaten her fill and slept, but smelling the aroma of the food, she became hungry again. Ruan Jianguo bought three box lunches and six packs of instant noodles, which were even more expensive on the train than outside.

But the rich Mr. Ruan didn’t care about the money; one pack of noodles wasn’t enough for him, so he bought six packs at once.

It’s worth mentioning that Xu Miao’s mother was truly incredible; as soon as Ruan Jiaojiao woke up, she saw her coaxing the man she’d been chatting with to buy a box lunch and a pack of instant noodles for her and Xu Miao.

Ruan Jiaojiao had seen more than once female passengers on the train rolling their eyes at this woman, probably disapproving of such behavior.

And Xu Miao probably didn’t see anything wrong with it either, holding the instant noodles bought by that man, she ran over to their side excited: “Brother Xiaojie, could I have some hot water? I want to eat with you.”

Actually, there was hot water available at the front, yet she purposely came to them to ask, the intention was clear enough.

Both the Ruanlin Family and Shu Jiao were formidable people; they had long seen through it all. The former had thoroughly investigated Xu Miao’s background, knowing it like the back of her hand, and was lukewarm in her attitude towards her; the latter simply ignored her, as if she didn’t even see this person.

Ruan Jiaojiao felt that her mother probably disapproved of such a daughter-in-law.

Ruan Jie was truly annoyed to the core. When Ruan Jiaojiao acted coquettishly with him, he felt his sister was really sweet and adorable, wishing he could hold her in his palm and spoil her. Xu Miao acting coquettishly in front of him, continuously calling him ‘Brother Xiaojie’, maybe because he wasn’t yet enlightened, he found it to be noise, utterly irritating to the point of wanting to slap her dead.

He seemed to finally lost his patience, lifted his head and yelled at her, “If you want hot water, can’t you go to the front to get it yourself? You’re even borrowing water to drink, have you lost your mind from poverty!”

“…” Ruan Jiaojiao.

That’s it, her brother has truly inherited the Ruan family wealth.

Xu Miao stood there with a pale face, without reaction for a long while, her eyes brimming with tears, seemingly about to fall. But seeing Ruan Jie unmoved, she turned her gaze to the Ruanlin Family matriarch.

The Ruanlin Family matriarch continued to eat her box lunch, picking a piece of meat for Ruan Jiaojiao as though she hadn’t noticed anything.

In the end, Xu Miao returned to her mother with red eyes. The uncle on that side was treating her mother well, and her mother had already sat on that uncle’s bed, her behavior with him had become much more intimate.

Actually, to be fair, Xu Miao really did look quite nice, and she spoke in a rather coquettish manner. Ruan Jiaojiao thought that a young man like her brother would like such a girl, but she didn’t expect him to be so unmoved.

She couldn’t help but ask him quietly, “Brother, what kind of girl do you like?”

“What kind of girl??” Ruan Jie lifted his head, a look of confusion on his face, as he scooped a chunk from the meat sauce brought by the Ruanlin matriarch, mixing it into his instant noodles.
