Chapter 644: Chapter 644 Mrs. Yuan (6)_1

"Xiu Brother?" Ruan Jiaojiao also looked at Xiu Xi with surprise, for she had never seen his face look so terrible.

"Let her go." Without looking at Ruan Jiaojiao, Xiu Xi continued to stare at the old lady of the Yuan Family, his green eyes filled with malevolence. Even she was startled and immediately released her grip.

Xiu Xi took Ruan Jiaojiao and left.

Although Ruan Jiaojiao was puzzled, she knew Xiu Xi would never harm her, so she didn’t say goodbye to the elderly lady and simply left the Yuan Family’s residence.

After they departed, the expression on the old lady’s face also turned grim.

Outside, Liu Ma brought in the incense burner whose ashes had already been emptied. Seeing the old lady’s pale face, she exclaimed in shock and quickly asked, "Madam, what’s wrong?"

The old lady did not respond but instead fixated on the incense burner in her hand, asking, "Didn’t you ever get caught by accident?"

Liu Ma hurriedly shook her head, but recalling Xiu Xi’s piercing gaze, she hesitated and said, "Madam, I feel that little boy seemed to know something."

For many years, Liu Ma had been very careful, confident that she had never been discovered, not even by the four young masters of the family.

Even when they occasionally saw her emptying the incense burner, the young masters never asked about it.

But just one look from that little boy had given her the feeling that he saw right through her.

The old lady’s gaze darkened, but then softened as she thought of something, letting out a sigh, "Never mind, we won’t be needing it anymore. Tell the hospital, from now on, we don’t need it."

Regardless of whether her efforts had truly been effective, she was convinced that Ruan Jiaojiao was the reincarnation of her daughter.

If that was the case, there was no need for such deeds anymore.

Liu Ma nodded her head and placed the incense burner on the table.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Ruan Jiaojiao followed Xiu Xi out of the Yuan residence, and on the way to the Ruan Family restaurant, she couldn’t help asking, "Xiu Brother, what exactly happened just now?"

Xiu Xi stopped walking, turned to her, paused for two seconds, and then said, "Don’t go to the Yuan Family again."

"Why?" Ruan Jiaojiao frowned.

"She’s committing sins," Xiu Xi looked at her. "The sins she commits will eventually befall those close to her, and it’s not good for you to be too close to her."

Ruan Jiaojiao still didn’t understand, but although the old lady had been kind to her in the past two years, she trusted Xiu Xi more and nodded, "Then in the future, we’ll say we’re too busy with studies to come often."

In fact, Ruan Jiaojiao felt that Xiu Xi hadn’t completely told the truth, but she was easygoing by nature. If he didn’t want to say more, she wouldn’t press him.

When the two returned to the Ruan Family restaurant, Ruan Jiandang happened to be discussing matters with Jiandang.

Now that the restaurant business was booming, Jiandang, who had never learned to drive, had always used a tricycle to haul produce. It had been manageable in the past, but with business getting better and needing more ingredients, running back and forth several times a day was troublesome. Moreover, with his small car and the unused truck sitting idle, he thought it was wasteful, and he wanted Jiandang to learn to drive.

However, as he mentioned this, Chef Zeng also remembered another matter and said, "Jianguo, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about this. We need more staff for the restaurant. Do you remember Chen Qing, whom you learned to drive with? He’s currently looking for a job, and since Jiandang needs to learn driving, why not hire him?"
