Chapter 588: Chapter 588 Shu Wen (4)_1

Until this time—

Ruan Jiaojiao was picked up by the Yuan Family’s chauffeur from the Ruan Family a little after ten in the morning. The Yuan Family had their own small car, and every time she left, they would arrange the next date to pick her up.

Ruan Jiaojiao knew she was going to the Yuan Family today and had gotten ready early.

The Ruan Family trusted the Yuan Family very much, only Shu Lang and the old master had a few grumbles, not wanting her to leave, but Ruan Jiaojiao still got into the Yuan Family’s car with Xiu Xi a little after ten.

By a little after eleven, nearly twelve, they arrived at the Yuan Family’s home.

As countless times before, as soon as Ruan Jiaojiao arrived at the Yuan Family’s, she first washed her hands, and then immediately started having lunch.

At the dining table, it was just her, Xiu Xi, and Grandma Yuan.

Ruan Jiaojiao shared the amusing things that had happened to her during this period with Grandma Yuan.

Grandma Yuan loved to listen to her talk, smiling and listening, occasionally asking a question, while Xiu Xi, keeping an eye on his nose and his nose on his heart, was thoroughly invisible.

After lunch, the chatting moved from the dining table to the living room.

Grandma Yuan likely spent a lot of time watching TV normally, so whenever Ruan Jiaojiao visited, she never watched TV but focused solely on their conversation.

This time was no exception, only that as they talked, when Ruan Jiaojiao mentioned how her maternal grandfather and uncle were also very good to her, Grandma Yuan’s eyes started to look a bit sad.

As soon as her words ended, Grandma Yuan said, "Jiaojiao, you are a blessed child, you’re meant to enjoy your life, not like..." At this point, she stopped, as if she had suddenly brought up a forbidden topic and no longer continued.

It wasn’t the first time that Ruan Jiaojiao had heard Grandma Yuan say she was a fortunate child. Since the first meeting, she had been saying it; almost every time they met, it would be mentioned.

Ruan Jiaojiao guessed that this must also have something to do with the early demise of Yuan Manman.

Yuan Manman died young, so she didn’t have this fortune.

Sensing the abnormal tone in Grandma Yuan’s words, Ruan Jiaojiao did not ask any further, just obediently looked at her.

Grandma Yuan’s mood suddenly became a bit downcast as she stroked the hair at her temple and asked Ruan Jiaojiao a surprising question.

"Jiaojiao, Grandma has a question for you."

"Okay, Grandma, ask." Ruan Jiaojiao nodded.

"Grandma wants to ask you, if, suppose one day, your mother gives up on you, doesn’t want you anymore, would you hate your mother?" Grandma Yuan’s voice was very soft, as if speaking any louder might startle the young girl before her.

And Ruan Jiaojiao was completely stunned.

She never expected Grandma Yuan to ask such a question.

Would she hate her? Of course, she would hate. Initially, when she found out she was Ruan Jiaojiao, she hated and resented Shu Jie merely for picking up the wrong child, not recognizing her own, not deliberately abandoning her—let alone being intentionally forsaken.

"Grandma, why do you ask that?" Ruan Jiaojiao did not answer but instead asked in return.

"Why?" Grandma Yuan withdrew the hand that had been touching her head and turned her gaze toward the window, bitterly smiling, "Perhaps it’s because I want to give myself some redemption."

Grandma Yuan did not persist on Ruan Jiaojiao’s answer but waved to Aunt Liu instead.

Aunt Liu immediately stepped forward: "Miss JiaoJiao, the driver is already waiting outside. I’ll take you out."

Ruan Jiaojiao stood up, glancing at Grandma Yuan: "Then goodbye, Grandma; Jiaojiao will come to see you again next time."
