Chapter 692: Chapter 692 The Sister Over There (7)_1

Startled, Ruan Jiaojiao got up early again the next day and couldn’t fall back asleep once she woke.

By a little after nine in the morning, the Yuan Family’s carriage arrived at the Ruan Family’s courtyard gate.

Ever since Ruan Jiaojiao was taken out of the Yuan Family’s home by Xiu Xi last time, she had never been back. She always trusted Xiu Xi, believed whatever he said, and so when he said the old lady of the Yuan Family had done something wicked but did not want to elaborate, Jiaojiao hadn’t pressed for details.

However, the Yuan Family had indeed been good to her over the years, and it wasn’t possible for her to cut ties so abruptly. When the driver came to pick her up, she could only follow along, thankfully Xiu Xi was going with her this time.

After the last incident, Xiu Xi seemed to really dislike the Yuan Family. His expression had been rather foul since they got in the car.

Ruan Jiaojiao quietly took his hand, and only then did his expression soften slightly.

The carriage stopped inside the Yuan Family’s courtyard. As always, Nanny Liu was waiting outside, but before she could reach out to open the door, Xiu Xi had already alighted and rushed over, opening the door himself and then leading Ruan Jiaojiao out.

Nanny Liu’s face changed color, but she quickly regained her composure.

Ruan Jiaojiao remained as gracious as ever, thanking her, "Thank you, Granny Liu."

"No need, Miss. Please go in, the old lady is waiting for you," said Nanny Liu kindly.

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, gave her another look, and wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt that Nanny Liu’s tone when speaking to her had changed, now more friendly and respectful than before.

Moreover, she used to address her as Miss JiaoJiao, not simply Miss.

Once inside, the Yuan Family’s arrangements appeared the same as ever, Ruan Jiaojiao glanced around and thought there were no differences, but upon closer inspection, she noticed that the painting that used to be on the staircase was gone.

Yuan Manman’s ink painting was missing!

Ruan Jiaojiao had known the Yuan Family for over two years and in all that time that painting had never moved, not even its position. Now suddenly it had been taken down, and she was truly astonished.

The old lady of the Yuan Family was sitting on the living room sofa, with an album spread on her lap. Seeing her come in, she immediately smiled and waved, "Jiaojiao, come here. Granny has something wonderful to show you today."

"Granny," Ruan Jiaojiao called out, then approached, while Xiu Xi scanned the room and twitched his nose, his gaze becoming deeper.

"Take a look, pick whatever you like. Granny will give them to you to serve as your dowry," the old lady of the Yuan Family said while passing the album over to her.

Ruan Jiaojiao was taken aback when she saw it and declined, "Granny, this is too valuable. I can’t accept it."

The old lady had shown her an album full of jewelry photos. Even though Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t knowledgeable about jewelry, she could tell that these were all quite expensive.

Over the years, the Yuan Family had indeed treated her very well, but their generosity had always been reflected in day-to-day life.

Like buying her many snacks to eat, clothes, shoes, and the like, they had never given her anything so luxurious.

"It’s not valuable. They are just things we have at home lying unused. Just pick anything, Jiaojiao, they will serve as Granny’s dowry for you. Granny is afraid she won’t live until that day, it’s better to give it to you earlier to put my mind at ease," the old lady of the Yuan Family said with a smile, flipping through the album herself and introducing the items one by one.

The Yuan Family, a Medical World Family, had produced Imperial Physicians in the past, and through generations, they had accumulated many wonderful things that were even better and more precious than those the Ruanlin Family had.
