Chapter 107: Chapter 107: A Minor Quarrel (3)_1

Lost in her thoughts, she didn’t notice how Xiu Xi, seeing her staring intently at Wa Yiting and ignoring him, grew increasingly irate, his eyes glinting with a faint green light.

Wa Yiting also had never loathed Ruan Jiaojiao as much as she did now.

Just a few days earlier, when that monkey had kidnapped her, Wa Yiting thought she was certainly doomed and was absolutely thrilled about it, only to be infuriated when Ruan Jiaojiao unexpectedly returned safe and sound.

Every day, she cursed in her heart for Ruan Jiaojiao to die quickly!

If she died, Grandma Ruan would surely shift her attention to her, discovering how well-behaved she was, how good she was at household chores, and how sparkling clean she could wash the dishes!

Why wouldn’t she just die?

Why?

"Ruan Jiaojiao, I hate you so much!" she glared venomously at Ruan Jiaojiao before turning and running away.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao, what had she done?

"Don’t look." Finally unable to bear it, Xiu Xi stepped in front of her, blocking her line of sight with a serious and aggrieved expression, reaching out again to take her hand, only to have Ruan Jiaojiao slap it away once more.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t understand what she was angry about, just that she was upset. Without so much as glancing at him, she turned and entered the house, leaving a downhearted Xiu Xi watching her departure.

In the following days, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t pay much attention to Xiu Xi.

Even the Ruanlin Family noticed something was amiss. They summoned Xiu Xi and Ruan Jiaojiao and asked, "What’s wrong with you two? Did you have a fight?"

Xiu Xi was wearing new clothes that had just been made by the Ruanlin Family. His handsome, pretty face made it hard for anyone to look away. Liu Mei had made a scene about these clothes, implying that Xiu Xi didn’t deserve to wear new clothes and that she wanted to strip them off him for her own son to wear.

But the Ruanlin Family scolded her away, telling Liu Mei that if she dared to touch the clothes, she would report her to the police for occupying someone else’s property, which was a grave crime in this era.

Liu Mei was frightened off. Although she felt resentful, she dared not covet the clothes on Xiu Xi’s back, though it made her eyes turn red with envy every time she saw them, cursing under her breath. The Ruanlin Family dismissed her as if she were just passing gas.

Now, seeing Xiu Xi stand before her in the clothes she had made, looking incredibly dapper, the Ruanlin Family felt immensely content.

Upon hearing this, Xiu Xi looked towards Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Jiaojiao snorted and turned her head away.

She was just annoyed, inexplicably so. She was upset because, on that day, in the short time she was gone for just one morning, he had almost gotten together with the female lead. It made her angry and disheartened, with an indescribable sense of loss!

In the past few days, despite Xiu Xi following her around like a little tail, she acted as if she didn’t see him, let alone talk to him or let him hold her hand.

The Ruanlin Family, seeing this, understood perfectly—it was definitely their granddaughter acting spoiled again.

She sternly said to Ruan Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, don’t bully Xiaoxi."

Ruan Jiaojiao felt wronged and pouted, looking at the Ruanlin Family, "I’m not bullying him!" It was clearly he who couldn’t resist temptation and let himself be easily swayed by others!

"Then you tell Grandma, why aren’t you playing with him anymore? Where did he go wrong? Did he make you angry?"

Ruan Jiaojiao bit her lip, her expression hesitant. She couldn’t possibly say she was upset because he had gotten close with the female lead while she wasn’t paying attention, could she? She couldn’t bring herself to say it.

So she just kept her mouth shut.

"See, Xiaoxi hasn’t done anything wrong. If you don’t play with him, how sad must he feel?"
