Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Down the Well (2)_1

Ruan Jun lifted his head to look at her.

"Tonight, when you take the money to her, tell her that this is the money from signing the three-year pit contract. If she accepts it, Ruan Jun, I’m telling you, whether your mother lives or dies, you are not to interfere ever again! Otherwise, you can also get out of the Ruan Family! I don’t lack a grandson like you! If she doesn’t accept it, then I’ll consider she still has a little bit of conscience left. We’ll help her report to the police. It’s not like the old society now; selling people is not allowed, and selling someone means jail time!"

"You too, having studied for so many years, did all that knowledge go to the dogs?"

Ruan Jun pursed his lips and did not reply. Thinking about his own behavior earlier, he also felt somewhat embarrassed. He must have had a short circuit in his brain at that moment, perceiving life as nothing but darkness, his entire future filled with despair, utterly forgetting everything else.

Thinking back on it now.

He really was too young.

It’s just—

"About this money, Grandma..." If Liao Zhaoji really had the heart to not care about him and took the money, what would he do? Three hundred yuan, a year’s income, Ruan Jun felt somewhat reluctant to part with it.

"Three hundred yuan to sever all ties, Grandma thinks it’s worth it. Xiaojun, you must remember, there is no hurdle in life that can’t be overcome. Material wealth like money comes and goes; if it’s gone, then it’s gone, we can always make more. But once a person is gone, they are truly gone. When you go down the pit, if something really happened to you, have you thought about us?"

"I’m sorry, Grandma," Ruan Jun said, ashamed, bowing his head.

He just really didn’t want to be a burden or a disgusting presence to the Ruan Family anymore.

"It’s okay, knowing your mistake is good enough," the Ruanlin Family matriarch said, affectionately stroking his head.

She then looked toward Ruan Jiaojiao, "Our Jiaojiao has also been truly amazing today. You must thank her properly. If it weren’t for her, you would have really been gone forever!"

Ruan Jun nodded, pinched Ruan Jiaojiao’s little cheek, completely defenseless against his soft and pale sister, and planted a heavy kiss on her face. Ruan Jiaojiao giggled and kissed him back.

Their chubby pet bounced around on the floor, howling to insist it also deserved some credit.

Everyone watched and couldn’t help but start laughing.

Xiu Xi stood to the side without saying anything, but his gaze lingered on Ruan Jiaojiao. Seeing her smile, his lips involuntarily curled up as well.

Ruan Jiaojiao, smiling, caught sight of the paper on the table, blinked, glanced at it, and blinked again... her expression changed slightly...

It was then she belatedly realized that she recognized all those characters.

Was it because she had absorbed the memories of the original host that she recognized them?

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t know, but looking at those words, something felt strange in her heart, yet she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.

Both the Ruanlin Family matriarch and Ruan Jun were oblivious to her change of expression, but Xiu Xi, who had been watching her, noticed and followed her gaze with confusion, not spotting anything unusual.

The matriarch of the Ruanlin Family spoke a few more words to Ruan Jun and, thinking of something, called Xiu Xi and Ruan Jiaojiao aside.

She didn’t have that much cash on hand and wanted to borrow two hundred from the youngsters.

Upon hearing this, Xiu Xi looked at Ruan Jiaojiao. She knew he meant for her to make the decision, so she nodded, "Alright, Grandma, use it as you need." Since it was Xiu Xi’s money, she did not think it appropriate to refuse to return it; otherwise, she hadn’t really planned on asking her to repay it.

Seeing this, the matriarch of the Ruanlin Family lovingly patted the heads of the two children, counted out two hundred from their jars, added her own hundred, wrapped it in red cloth, and handed it to Ruan Jun.
