Chapter 587: Chapter 587 Shu Wen (3)_1

"..." Lu Xian.

"..." Lu Zishu.

Just like those pale yellow bok choys in the field, rustling in the breeze from the open windows of the living room at home.

Ruan Hao had returned home before dark, following Ruan Jian|Guo’s car, accompanied by Xiu Xun.

Xiu Xun now followed Ruan Jian|Guo to and fro every day, leaving together in the morning and returning together in the evening. Ruan Jian|Guo had offered him a wage of twenty dollars a month, a few dollars more than the adults, because adults needed to stay behind in the shop at night to tidy up.

But Xiu Xun was clever; on the day Ruan Jian|Guo paid wages, he had previously arranged with him, telling his adoptive parents he made only eight dollars. He gave them all of that, so his adoptive parents allowed him to work. The remaining twelve dollars he saved entirely with Ruan Jian|Guo.

Ruan Jian|Guo and Shu Jiao knew about his family situation and naturally were willing to help.

After stepping out of the car, Xiu Xun just glanced at the Ruan Family’s courtyard, vaguely saw a small figure, his gaze flickered, and he turned to leave.

Old Master Shu was taken aback when he saw Ruan Hao.

Of Shu Jiao’s three children, Ruan Jiaojiao resembled Shu Jiao the most, especially when Shu Jiao was young. Being a girl, Old Master Shu naturally adored her.

Ruan Jie was a complete replica of Ruan Jian|Guo, sturdy like a young calf. Looking at him, he felt a complex sensation in his heart. Of course, it wasn’t that he disliked him; the feelings were just intricate, easily making him keep a stern face and revert to his old ways of treating his three children.

And Ruan Hao.

He completely resembled those from the Shu family; the older he grew, the more he resembled Shu Lang, and Shu Lang resembled the old Mrs. Shu. So, when he saw Ruan Hao, he truly froze.

Soon after, his eyes reddened.

The old Mrs. Shu came from a family of scholars, her scholarly aura enchanting; from the first glance, he had been utterly captivated, but... after following him in hardship all her life, in the end, she...

"Dad, Jiaojiao is calling for you," Seeing Old Master Shu sinking into sorrow, Shu Jiao made a sign to Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Jiaojiao immediately cuddled into Old Master Shu’s embrace, playfully cheering him up, and soon enough, she distracted the old man from his sadness, while he looked at her tenderly, speaking with Ruan Hao.

After Old Master Shu and Shu Lang passed away one after another, only Shu Wen was left.

Ruan Jiaojiao was quite interested in this little aunt because, in her previous life, this aunt had died young, never reaching adulthood. Her inherited memories contained not a single trace of her.

Ruan Jiaojiao was very much looking forward to meeting her, but on the day Shu Wen arrived, it happened to be the day she was at the Yuan Family, accompanying Old Lady Yuan.

She had previously thought Old Lady Yuan was only about a decade older than her grandmother, but later found out that Old Lady Yuan was already nearing ninety years old and would celebrate her ninetieth birthday the following year.

Perhaps being from a Medical World Family, she knew how to keep herself well-maintained, which made her appear much younger.

Old Lady Yuan liked her a lot, inviting her over two or three times a month, almost weekly.

And through her increasing visits with Old Lady Yuan, Ruan Jiaojiao sensed an unusual air.

Old Lady Yuan might have been seeing her as a substitute, for she would often sigh while looking at her as if seeing someone else through her.

And that someone, Ruan Jiaojiao guessed, might be her prematurely deceased daughter, Yuan Manman.

But no matter her curiosity, she always remembered Shu Jiao’s words, never taking the initiative to inquire about Yuan Manman; Old Lady Yuan too never spoke of it, only occasionally sighing.
