In vain they all boasted of how they doted on her, loved her, pampered her, yet they had failed to recognize an imposter.

"It’s okay," Ruan Jiaojiao shook her head and hugged the Ruanlin Family matriarch’s neck.

The Ruanlin Family matron patted her small back and said again, "Jiaojiao, don’t be afraid. Nanny doesn’t care if it’s a person or a ghost, if she dares to come here, nanny will tear her apart! Don’t be scared, understand?"

Tear her apart?!

Listening to the Ruanlin Family matron’s domineering words, Ruan Jiaojiao’s previously heavy heart instantly lightened.

She nodded vigorously and looked at the Ruanlin Family matron, "Hmm! Jiaojiao believes."

The combat spirit of the Ruanlin Family matron had always been a model of admiration for Ruan Jiaojiao.

"Good child," the Ruanlin Family matron stroked her head and, from an angle she couldn’t see, signaled to Ruanlin and Shu Jiao with her eyes. The two immediately nodded and also came forward to comfort Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s last trace of terror dissipated, and when it came time to eat dinner, she even had an extra bowl.

She didn’t know that once she fell asleep that night, the three adults discussed earnestly in the room for most of the night. Xiu Xi, having heard everything from outside, only went upstairs quietly after they dispersed.

After Zhao Li’s birthday passed, the weather began to truly turn cold.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s birthday is on the tenth day of the tenth lunar month, which falls on November 15th of the solar calendar and is more than a month after Zhao Li’s birthday.

As her birthday drew near, Ruan Jiaojiao had her mid-term exams, which were only for two subjects since she was still in elementary school, math and Chinese.

The exams were finished in the morning, and the results were out by the afternoon.

Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiaoxi had no interest in the outcome, while other students went to the teacher’s office to scout for news. Not long after, Ruan Wei came back excitedly with information.

"Jiaojiao, Xiaoxi, you two actually got perfect scores in both subjects and tied for first place. That’s amazing!" Ruan Wei said excitedly, even happier than if he had gotten first place himself.

Ruan Jiaojiao had expected this result. Seeing his excitement, she asked, "What about you, brother? How many points did you get? What place are you in?"

"Me? I don’t know," Ruan Wei said a bit sheepishly. His grades weren’t good, even quite poor; he had gotten zeros before. But this time, he felt confident he hadn’t gotten zero since he often studied with Ruan Jiaojiao, and his grades had improved steadily. He might not rank in class, but he was sure he wasn’t zero.

Ruan Jiaojiao was amused by his response, smiling as she said, "Brother must have done well this time too. Didn’t we go over the answers together? You got so many questions right."

"Hahaha, that’s right, I’m definitely not a zero this time," Ruan Wei agreed cheerfully, delighted as can be.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao, the silly brother with such modest expectations.

Although the results were out, the teacher did not announce them that day. Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiaoxi were unconcerned. After school, she was surprised to see Ruanlin waiting for her at the gate and quickly ran over.

"Dad, aren’t you going to the store today?"

"I won’t go today. Get in quickly, dad will take you to the post office."

"The post office?"

"Yes, there are three packages this time." Ruanlin smiled. The three packages had arrived from three different directions. One was sent by Shu Lang from his research institute, one was from the elder Shu in Beidu, and the other was sent from Southern University, with Shu Wen listed as the sender.
