Chapter 693: Chapter 693 The Sister Over There (8)_1

But no matter how good the item was, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t accept it.

The Yuan Family had been kind to her before, buying her food and clothes, and that was somewhat acceptable, but accepting such valuable gifts was absolutely out of the question.

Although Grandmother Yuan was truly enthusiastic, Ruan Jiaojiao still refused, and wouldn’t take it no matter what.

In the end, Grandmother Yuan looked somewhat sorrowful and asked, "Does Jiaojiao look down on Grandmother’s things?"

"Of course not," Ruan Jiaojiao hastily shook her head, seeing that the old lady seemed a bit sad, and put on a playful face, "Jiaojiao is still young, I don’t have any use for these things. Instead of these, I much prefer delicious food. If Grandmother loves Jiaojiao, just prepare lots and lots of tasty treats for me next time."

Grandmother Yuan, looking at her innocent and adorable demeanor, had even softer eyes, feeling that she was exactly like the daughter in her memories.

Her daughter was also just as kind and adorable.

She was silent for two seconds, then nodded, "Okay, then Grandmother will keep these things for Jiaojiao for now, and give them to you later."

Ruan Jiaojiao smiled and didn’t respond, because she wouldn’t want them in the future anyway.

As usual, Ruan Jiaojiao chatted with the old lady for a while and then went to have her meal at the dining hour. After finishing the meal, and Grandmother Yuan, who was tired, went to rest first. Since the sun outside was quite intense, Ruan Jiaojiao decided to wait before going back.

There were actually many people in the Yuan family, but it might be due to their profession, the house was always quiet and empty.

Ruan Jiaojiao always felt sorry for the old lady. At her age, she should be loving the company of children the most. She wondered why her grandsons and great-grandsons, and the like, didn’t come to keep her company.

Xiu Xi was sitting next to her. After the maid Liu left after setting down the fruit, Ruan Jiaojiao moved closer to him and handed him a piece of cut apple, "Xiu Brother, eat this."

Xiu Xi glanced at her and took a bite.

Ruan Jiaojiao also ate a piece. The apple was juicy and sweet, her favorite. She ate with great satisfaction, squinting her eyes as if she were a little hamster who had stolen a treat, with her naturally chubby cheeks puffing out even more.

Xiu Xi watched her, and the tension that had been strung tight unknowingly began to relax.

"Xiu Brother, do you remember that painting over there? Look, it’s gone now, it’s so strange," Ruan Jiaojiao said, still finding it odd. She was almost certain that Yuan Manman was Grandmother Yuan’s daughter. Her painting hanging there must have been for reminiscing, but why was it suddenly taken down?

Xiu Xi, on the other hand, hadn’t thought so much about it. He looked out at the sky, then at Ruan Jiaojiao, who was contentedly eating beside him, and said, "Once you’ve finished eating, we’ll head back."

Ruan Jiaojiao knew he didn’t like the Yuan Family. Hearing this, she nodded, quickly finished the fruit on her plate, and then went to call Liu, asking her to arrange for a car to take them back.

Before leaving, Liu prepared a small cake for her to take home and eat.

When boarding the car, Xiu Xi, faster than Liu, opened the door to let Ruan Jiaojiao in first, then followed himself. Seeing this, Liu wasn’t surprised and just smiled amiably, bidding farewell to Ruan Jiaojiao.

As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao left, the smile on Liu’s face faded, and her gaze turned heavy toward Grandmother Yuan’s room.

"She’s gone," asked Grandmother Yuan.

"Yes, Miss has left. As per your instructions, I prepared a small cake for the young miss to take with her," replied Liu.
