Chapter 2012: Two Sisters Set Their Sights on Two Brothers (7)

After Duan Xi brought Jiaojiao back, his cold, sharp gaze landed on Hong Ling, who was also somewhat startled.

Under Duan Xi’s gaze, Hong Ling felt her scalp tingle and repeatedly apologized: "I’m sorry, I... I didn’t mean to, Jiaojiao, are you okay?"

"What happened?" Ruan Jun, who was walking ahead, turned back to look, his concerned gaze fixed on Jiaojiao. Seeing her face a bit pale, he asked, "Jiaojiao, are you not feeling well?"

In Duan Xi’s embrace, Jiaojiao shook her head and quickly smiled: "Brother Jun, I’m fine, really." With that, she ran up, bent down to pick up the train of Hong Ping’s gown, and said, "Brother Jun, I’ll help sister-in-law with the train of her wedding dress, you just go on ahead."

Ruan Jun’s gaze lingered on Jiaojiao and then darted among his brothers, sensing nothing wrong, he nodded and then continued forward.

As soon as he turned his head, the expressions of the brothers of the Ruan Family behind him all showed varying degrees of unease.

However, since it was a joyous day for their brother, none of them showed anything outwardly.

But in their hearts, they all grew to dislike this sister-in-law, on behalf of their sister.

Ruan Chi, walking in the third row, scanned Hong Ling with his gaze, his eyes hidden behind glasses becoming somewhat dark.

After exiting the hotel, once Ruan Jun had carried Hong Ping into the car, Jiaojiao returned to the car behind them. Just before getting in, she noticed Hong Ling trailing after Ruan Hao, getting into a car with him.

Recalling the way Hong Ling looked at Ruan Hao last night, and her sudden behavior today, Jiaojiao pursed her lips, and the smile on her face completely disappeared once she bent down and got into the car.

The car didn’t take a detour on the way back to the new house and arrived in about ten minutes.

Jiaojiao got out of the car and saw that Hong Ling still didn’t show any intention of helping with Hong Ping’s train, so she had to step forward to help again.

There were many guests in the new room of the second house of the Ruan family; Shu Jiao was among them. Seeing Jiaojiao diligently helping with Hong Ping’s train, her brows furrowed.

It’s not that she thought there was anything wrong with helping with the train. If Hong Ping didn’t have a sister, these tasks were fine for Jiaojiao. But Hong Ping did have a sister, and it shouldn’t have fallen on her daughter.

She turned to look through the crowd and then saw Hong Ling glued to Ruan Hao’s side, her eyes shining.

Hong Ling’s behavior was too obvious, with her lovestruck appearance, there was no need for further speculation, and Shu Jiao’s smile quickly faded.

Meanwhile, Jiaojiao had escorted Hong Ping to her and Ruan Jun’s new room, and fearing she might feel awkward, sat nearby, ready to chat with her.

But Hong Ping, smiling, said to her, "Jiaojiao, could you bring Lingling over for me, please?"

Jiaojiao naturally nodded: "Sure."

When Jiaojiao found Hong Ling, she was again clinging to Ruan Hao’s side. Jiaojiao was really speechless, unsure whether she was truly naive or just pretending. At a time like this, as the only relative from the Hong Family while her parents were still at the hotel, shouldn’t she be by her sister’s side, never leaving her?

When Jiaojiao called Hong Ling to the new room, Hong Ling looked a little reluctant. Jiaojiao called her inside and then stepped out.

Inside the room, Hong Ping’s face completely fell as she questioned, "Hong Ling, do you know what you were doing today?!"

Hong Ping, having been held in Ruan Jun’s arms earlier, saw clearly when Hong Ling suddenly squeezed in, naturally understanding why Hong Ling had been so rash.
