Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Issuing Orders (2)_1

"What does that mean?"

"Your granddaughter was able to turn danger into safety this time because of karma she seeded in her previous life, but whether that karma is misfortune or fate, it’s all unknowable."

The Ruanlin Family frowned, even more puzzled.

"Big sister, there’s just one thing to remember: your granddaughter has an influential person in her life. If you can win over that person, she might be able to turn danger into safety again in the future. However, this matter has pros and cons. Your granddaughter’s influential person carries too many karmic debts, and what their fate will turn out to be, no one can say for sure."

An influential person?

The Ruanlin Family looked toward the door; could it be referring to Xiu Xi?

After all, he was the one who had brought Ruan Jiaojiao back from the front mountain last time. The affair was so inexplicable that people in the entire village are still talking about it; some gossipy ones even said that her granddaughter was a spirit from the mountain, which earned them a scolding!

But what did they mean by him having too many karmic debts?

After leaving Qian Xiabai’s house, the Ruanlin Family seemed preoccupied, leading Ruan Jiaojiao while her eyes occasionally drifted towards Xiu Xi, seemingly struggling with something.

"Granny, what did you figure out?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked curiously.

The Ruanlin Family shook her head and patted her small head, her mind filled with too many concerns to be present.

That night, after Ruan Jiaojiao had fallen asleep, she called Ruan Jianguo out to talk about the auspicious day to break ground for the house construction and mentioned the divination for Ruan Jiaojiao’s fate. Ruan Jianguo wasn’t very superstitious, but seeing the Ruanlin Family taking it so seriously, he comforted her, "Mom, don’t worry. After last time’s event, the boys wouldn’t dare to take Jiaojiao to the back mountain again. Nothing will happen."

That’s what he said, but when disaster strikes, no one can stop it!

The Ruanlin Family was still troubled, but since the house construction was about to begin, she got busy and temporarily put those concerns aside.

The day before breaking ground, Ruan Jiandang left the house, and Liao Zhaoji came back with him. Ruan Jiandang was a taciturn man; seeing that he couldn’t explain things clearly to Liao Zhaoji, he simply stopped trying. He didn’t want to quarrel with her on such a good day and create disharmony at home.

He didn’t rush to ask for the money back because he had prepared for a divorce, thinking of that money as the last alimony payment to Liao Zhaoji. The hospital’s medical fees were ultimately settled by the Ruanlin Family.

Naturally, the Ruan Family’s actions only confirmed the words that the Li Family had said in the eyes of Liao Zhaoji.

The Ruanlin Family was wealthy and would not actually stand by and watch Ruan Jiandang be in trouble. The previous threats not to help with medical fees were simply to scare her, and these past days, although Ruan Jiandang had not spoken to her, he hadn’t mentioned divorce either. She felt him softening.

Though inwardly delighted, she showed a virtuous and demure demeanor, displaying warmth and consideration for Ruan Jiandang.

The night they returned, the other two branches also came back, as the following day was Sunday and the children were there. The entire Ruan Family, a dozen or so people, were gathered in the courtyard discussing the groundbreaking ceremony for the next day.

Everyone was happy as if they were building their own houses, except for Liao Zhaoji, who had a forced smile on her face. Yet, inside, she was full of resentment, feeling that both Du Qing and Wu Le’s smiles were pretense. She couldn’t believe that the Ruanlin Family would build a house for the main branch alone without including them, and they wouldn’t mind it at all.

She suspected that it was only because the two were used to acting that they hadn’t shown their true feelings.
