Chapter 429: Chapter 429 Two Mothers (6)_1

Ruan Jiaojiao clearly understood his meaning, but she deliberately remained silent for a moment.

When both Ruan Jianguo and Shu Jiao became anxious, she then softly hummed in affirmation.

Shu Jiao, seeing this, slightly curved the corners of her mouth in a smile, her movements and gaze becoming even more tender, truly as if she wished nothing more than to pull her into her arms and feed her.

After Ruan Jiaojiao had eaten her fill, she began her own meal. Ruan Jianguo had already set aside a portion for the Ruanlin family matriarch, to be fed to her once she awoke.

Having finished lunch early, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t fall asleep just yet. Ruan Jianguo was still busy, so after finishing his meal he left first, while Ruan Jiaojiao sat on the bed looking at the comic books Zhao Li had brought over.

As she read, bored to death, the bed beside her sank slightly. Lifting her head, she saw that Shu Jiao had at some point sat down next to her, a pair of small scissors in hand.

She looked up at her with a questioning gaze.

"Mom will trim the hair at the back for you. You can’t wash your hair for now, so we can only cut off the scab," explained Shu Jiao. Ruan Jiaojiao had bumped the back of her head, which had split open quite badly. It had been stitched up nicely, but the surrounding hair had been cut, and the blood had since scabbed over, clumping together and emitting an odor, which she herself despised, but not a single person from Ruan Family seemed to mind.

Ruan Jiaojiao had never imagined that, following her chipped tooth, she would now be facing baldness. She was indeed a little resentful.

Knowing how much the young girl cared about her appearance, Shu Jiao comforted her tenderly, "It’s okay, mom will only cut a little bit. It will grow back very quickly."

"Then go ahead and cut it," Ruan Jiaojiao said.

As Shu Jiao cut her hair, she saw the wound on the back of her head once more, her eyes Reddening slightly with her movements cautious and delicate.

So careful was she that Ruan Jiaojiao truly didn’t feel any pain at all!

Ruan Jiaojiao felt her gentle movements and her heart, already soft, melted even more so.

She really despised her lack of resolve.

By the time Shu Jiao had finished cutting off all the hair with blood scabs, Ruan Jiaojiao was already leaning against her knee, nearly asleep. Shu Jiao had actually finished cutting a while ago, but she simply didn’t want to stop.

Even with just this small contact, she couldn’t bear to push her away.

"Mom..." Just as Shu Jiao thought she was about to fall asleep, Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly called out.

"Hmm?" Shu Jiao’s voice was incredibly soft.

"Can you tell me what you saw when you were drowning?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked.

Shu Jiao was silent for a few seconds. Just as Ruan Jiaojiao could no longer hold back and was about to speak again, Shu Jiao finally said, "I saw you fell into the small ditch in front of our house. I saw someone took over your body. That person caused the death of your brothers Cheng and Qing, and your grandmother, and then..." Her voice trailed off into silence.

"It was you as well, wasn’t it?" said Ruan Jiaojiao, turning to look at her, completing the sentence for her.

Shu Jiao nodded with a solemn face. Yes, her as well.

"Is there anything else?"

"No, that’s all. I only saw everything that happened before I died," said Shu Jiao, gently touching her little cheek with a tearful gaze, "What about you, Jiaojiao? What did you see?"

"I saw everything you did, and I know what happened after you died," Ruan Jiaojiao said casually.

"I’m sorry..." But Shu Jiao’s heart ached at hearing this, and the tears fell from her eyes.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao fell silent, for she couldn’t tell her right now that it was okay. The Ruan Family had been exterminated, she had stayed in the cold water for a year, and in the end, with her heart turning to ashes, she was reincarnated as a cat. All of this made it impossible for her to let go immediately.
