Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Shu Jiao (2)_1

Even if she pretended to be strong with her words, she still couldn’t let go of this mother.

"You silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? Your father is here, your three siblings are here, how could mom not come back," said Shu Jiao, and as she spoke, she heard a noise from the corner of the staircase and instinctively lifted her head.

She immediately locked eyes with Ruan Jiaojiao, who had just come down around the corner.

In the moment that their four eyes met—

Both of them froze.

Seeing the familiar small figure on the stairs, Shu Jiao’s heart clenched in pain. Her eyes reddened completely, and tears streamed down her face. She let go of Ruan Jie, whom she had been holding, and took a step towards the stairs, but then she quickly stopped.

It was as if she was afraid to get any closer.

For Ruan Jiaojiao, the moment she saw Shu Jiao, her face was like a bomb exploding in her mind, and many images that she couldn’t piece together suddenly became clear.

In the nightmares of the past—the woman strangled by the original owner, whose face she couldn’t see, was the face before her now.

In the nightmares of the past—the woman hidden in the fog, constantly calling for Jiaojiao to come back but whose face was still unclear, was also the face before her now!

In the nightmares of the past—the woman who picked up the original owner from the cold water, the face that had gone was still the face before her now!

Even many dreams she had never had before, but scenes strangely familiar, also flashed in her mind at this moment.

Scene after scene, as if playing a movie, was exceptionally clear.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s face turned deathly pale as she covered her head, which felt like it was about to explode. She swayed at the corner of the staircase landing. When the pain became unbearable and her vision turned dark, she could only hear the heart-wrenching screams around her.

Then, she lost all consciousness.

Nobody expected such a scene to unfold. Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao collapse and tumble down the stairs, everyone screamed in horror. Shu Jiao rushed forward, trying to catch her with her hands.

But it was too late.

All they could do was watch helplessly as Ruan Jiaojiao tumbled down headfirst, and even Xiu Xi, following behind, could only hold her body at the last moment as they both rolled down the stairs together.

There were a total of ten steps on the staircase, and the slope was somewhat steep.

Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi clung tightly to each other as they rolled down, both repeatedly hitting their heads on the ground. Before they had completely rolled to the bottom, both of them were bleeding from the head.

However, it was Xiu Xi’s forehead, while it was the back of Ruan Jiaojiao’s head.

As they rolled down the last segment of the staircase amid a chorus of shocked cries, almost everyone held their breath, staring at the blood flowing from the back of Ruan Jiaojiao’s head.

Blood... so much blood... flowing from the back of Ruan Jiaojiao’s head, as if it had formed a little river.

Xiu Xi had only injured his forehead and got up after rolling to the bottom of the stairs. Looking at Ruan Jiaojiao with her eyes closed, her face deathly pale, he was completely unable to react.

He thought he could protect her. He thought... he had forgotten that his body was no longer that of the King of All Beasts.

The Ruanlin Family just stood at the top of the stairs, witnessing this tragic scene unfold, completely unable to react.

Three seconds later, everyone else came to their senses as various cries filled the air.

"Sister!"

"Jiaojiao!"

"Oh my God!"

"Awoo... awoo..."
