Chapter 296: Chapter 296 Recognizing a God Relative (1)_1

Nowadays, very few families in the village own a car. In the entire sixth brigade, only Second Grandpa’s family, the Ruan Family, and the Captain’s family each have a moped; others don’t even have that, not to mention a big truck like this one.

So when the truck drove into the brigade, it immediately caught the attention of the nearby households, drawing a crowd in less than ten minutes.

Everyone looked at the Ruan Family with envy.

They felt that the Ruan Family had really made it big, not only building a multi-story house but also buying so much furniture from the city?

Look at that dressing table, look at that bedside cabinet... Every piece was unheard of to them, exotic items they had never seen before. They didn’t even dare to touch them, fearing they would dirty the furniture and be unable to afford the compensation.

The Ruanlin Family was surrounded by people offering their compliments, beaming with a smile that couldn’t be contained, endlessly modest, yet the glee in their eyes was unmistakable.

Ruan Jiaojiao was also very happy, simply because the Ruanlin Family was happy, sitting on a chair to the side with a content smile, watching her being the center of attention, her eyes squinting into slits amid the laughter.

Only,

While she was happy, unbeknownst to her, another figure lurked in the shadows, their eyes brimming with deep resentment as they watched her.

In the past, Wa Yiting had looked down on Ruan Jiaojiao, considering her hypocritical and foolish, incapable of anything, and no match for her own competence. After she received a bit of kindness from the Ruanlin Family, she wanted to replace Ruan Jiaojiao and become part of the Ruan Family.

Especially after the incident with Xiu Xi, her resolve had only strengthened.

So she would visit the Ruan Family from time to time, helping the Ruanlin Family with chores, trying to show how capable she was so that they would adopt her, and at the same time, make them realize that Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t worth their affection, that she was worthless.

Only,

She had failed.

The Ruanlin Family was polite to her, but not affectionate.

Gradually, she gave up and stopped visiting the Ruan Family.

But now... Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao sitting on that beautiful, almost unreal chair, all her envy and bitterness came surging back. She recalled the days she saw Ruan Jiaojiao changing into a new dress almost every day, while she... she looked down at her own worn and tattered clothing, handed down and resized from Aunt Wu’s castoffs, and those feelings of envy and discontent bubbled up again.

Why?

She didn’t understand.

Both girls, yet why did Ruan Jiaojiao receive so much love, eat well, dress well, and has so many brothers to protect her? Whereas she had nothing?

Ruan Jiaojiao had been paying attention to the Ruanlin Family and hadn’t noticed Wa Yiting hiding in the darkness. When she felt something, she only saw the cold gaze of a little villain looking in a certain direction.

Curious, she followed his gaze and saw only the retreating figure of Wa Yiting.

"?" Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes, pursing her lips in suspicion. Why did she feel the little villain’s look towards Wa Yiting carried a murderous intent?

Could it be—had he really been reborn like herself? Carrying the memories of his previous life, his unrequited love for the heroine turned into hatred?

Ruan Jiaojiao’s suspicion of Xiu Xi increased once again.

And Xiu Xi naturally felt it too, but he didn’t care. On the contrary, like Ruan Chi, he somewhat enjoyed it, basking in the fact that her attention had finally returned to him.

After the crowd that had been watching dispersed, the Ruanlin Family started arranging their new acquisitions. With all the items being bulky, Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi were of no help, and could only stand aside and watch.
