Chapter 295: Chapter 295 Filthy (2)_1

Ruan Jiaojiao sensed something and looked at him thoughtfully.

Doubts once again swirled around her mind.

Was it the rebirth of a minor antagonist, still holding a grudge for having his leading lady stolen by the male lead?

Ruan Jiaojiao averted her gaze and turned to look at Xiu Xun, nodding with a smile, "Yes, I remember. Last time it was you who saved Jiaojiao. Granny said Jiaojiao should thank you."

Xiu Xun, seeing her smile so adorably, smiled too and subconsciously reached out to pat her little head like he did the last time, but before his hand could touch her, it was swatted away by Xiu Xi standing next to her.

Xiu Xi stared at him coldly and spat out one word, "Dirty!"

Xiu Xun’s hand stiffened, and he looked at Xiu Xi with an awkward expression.

Before Xiu Xun’s foster parents had his little brother, Xiu Xun’s life was quite good. He had always felt complicated about this cousin around his age.

In the past, he pitied him because his stepmother was not good to him.

But now... the tables had turned.

He became the unloved one, whereas Xiu Xi had turned his fortunes around and was being raised by the Ruan family, eating well, dressing well, and he had heard that in the second half of the year, the Ruan family was even planning to send him and Ruan Jiaojiao to school together.

Many people in the team laughed at the Ruan family for being foolish – having money and not knowing where to spend it – but no one knew that Xiu Xun dreamed of having such good fortune, though it was just a dream.

He was going to formally turn eight next year, and it would be too late if he didn’t enroll in school in the second half of this year.

He didn’t not want to go to school; he just knew that his foster parents would not send him, as it would cost them a good amount of money, and they would lose free labor at home, something his shrewd foster parents would never willingly agree to.

Therefore, he felt very envious of Xiu Xi’s luck.

But it was just envy; he had never thought beyond that.

Now, having had his hand swatted away and being regarded as dirty, Xiu Xun had an embarrassed expression. He glanced at his palm which, because he had just been digging potatoes and hadn’t had a chance to wash, was stained with dried potato sap and looked particularly dirty.

He stood there awkwardly for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him, simply smiled, and found her impression of Xiu Xun to be quite strange – nowhere near as revolting as before. But between Xiu Xun and the little antagonist, she naturally chose the little antagonist.

She took the hand of the little antagonist, who was especially grumpy for not having been hugged all morning, and smiled at Xiu Xun, "Granny is waiting for us up ahead, so we’ll be going. Goodbye."

"Goodbye," Xiu Xun forced a smile too.

As he watched the two of them walk away hand in hand, both dressed so finely, he lowered his head somewhat ashamed.

Xiu Xi, who had been happily taken by the hand by Ruan Jiaojiao, looked over at her from time to time until they reached the buildings at the head of the village. Only when Ruan Jiaojiao hopped over to embrace Ruanlin with her little legs did he reluctantly let go of her hand.

"Granny!" Ruan Jiaojiao flew into Ruanlin’s arms and stood on tiptoe to look at the big truck in front of her.

Ruan Jianguo was talking to the driver at the front; as Ruanlin was about to hurry over, she was fully embraced by her Little Jiaojiao and quickly lifted her up, "Jiaojiao is here. Let’s go look at the furniture together. Do you remember the one Granny bought for you last time?"

"Yes! I remember!" Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, circling her neck with her arms as she was carried to look at the furniture.

They had bought furniture from the city furniture store last time, but as the apartment had not been ready, they didn’t bring it in to avoid getting it dusty. Only recently had the house been completely finished. Ruan Jianguo had just gone to the city yesterday to make the final payment, and had arranged for the furniture to be delivered today.
