Chapter 1389: Greed and Jealousy (Part 1)

Xin Miao’s thoughts stirred upon hearing that, but she quickly shook her head and said, "It’s useless, my parents don’t believe."

And because she’d been labeled with mental illness, the Xin Family had confined her almost completely over the years.

She never attended school because her parents feared she would hurt herself when she was young, and now that she’s grown up, they fear she might accidentally harm others and never let her go to school.

Even when going out, several people had to follow her, just in case she suddenly lost control.

In their minds, she was mentally ill. She’d said more than once that there was another soul inside her body, but they didn’t believe, saying it was a form of split personality caused by mental illness.

Looking at Xin Miao’s despondent demeanor, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t know what to say.

Such things indeed require family cooperation to accomplish. Without her family’s help, she could do nothing.

The two of them were silent, not speaking for a moment.

Later, Madam Xin returned after using the restroom, glanced at Xin Miao lying there quietly, and went back to her own bed to sleep.

Once Madam Xin’s breathing steadied, Xin Miao opened her eyes, seeing Ruan Jiaojiao standing at the door of the ward, looking expectantly outside as if waiting for someone, first suspiciously furrowing her brow, then thinking of something, her gaze growing more complex.

Could it be, after the first time, even if she says nothing later, her family knows where she is and automatically comes searching?

What kind of tacit understanding and trust was this? She could hardly imagine.

It was as if to verify her suspicion, Xiu Xi arrived before long, driving this time, accompanied by Ruan Hao, without alerting anyone else.

Upon seeing Xiu Xi holding a kitten, walking together with Ruan Hao in the hallway, Ruan Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up.

But this time, she didn’t rush forward, fearing she’d be absorbed into the kitten’s body upon getting close. Instead, she clung to the door frame and shouted to Xiu Xi, "Brother Xi, don’t come over yet, listen to me first."

Xiu Xi stopped and even reached out to halt Ruan Hao, who was beside him.

Ruan Hao glanced at him in puzzlement, then followed his gaze but saw nothing.

Ruan Jiaojiao shouted across the distance, "Brother Xi, when I return to my body later, remind me to give the contact information of the Master to Xin Miao, or I fear I’ll forget once back in my body."

Xiu Xi looked at her, then through her gaze, at Xin Miao on the hospital bed, whose eyes were glowing as she looked over here, and nodded after a few seconds.

Seeing him agree, Ruan Jiaojiao beamed and dashed toward his direction. But before she reached him, she experienced that familiar blackout, losing all consciousness in the next instant.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s soul once again merged with the kitten’s body, and Xiu Xi bent down to kiss her little forehead.

Beside, Ruan Hao immediately understood that Ruan Jiaojiao’s soul must have returned and directly said, "Let’s go back."

Xiu Xi nodded, but just before turning around, he saw Xin Miao getting down from the bed in the ward, barefoot, running to him, and blocking his way, asking, "Are you the one Ruan Jiaojiao said could see that I have two souls in one body?"

Xiu Xi gently held Ruan Jiaojiao, but his eyes were cold as he looked at Xin Miao before him, not answering.
