Chapter 698: Chapter 698 The Sister Over There (13)_1

By the time Ruan Chi and the others brought back dinner, the number of visitors greeting them had gradually dwindled.

Ruan Jiaojiao hadn’t finished that peach at all, and the leftovers were given to Xiu Xi. Now seeing her brothers eating, she also felt a bit tempted. Seeing this, Ruan Chi immediately took his own bowl and pushed most of its contents aside with the lid, then handed the meal box to her, "Jiaojiao, eat your brother’s. If it’s not enough, just tell your brother."

Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t shy about it and nodded her head, took a spoon, and began to eat along with them.

Shu Jiao asked Xiu Xi if he wanted to eat as well, but Xiu Xi declined.

As Ruan Jiaojiao ate, she watched her brothers, especially Ruan Jun and Ruan Chi. Both brothers were handsome and spoke with animated expressions. Such cheerful and outstanding youths were truly likable.

Thinking of Liao Zhaoji brought a sour tang of pain to Ruan Jiaojiao’s heart.

She wished so much that her brothers could always be like they were now, that the past hurts could stay far away from them.

Sometimes Ruan Jiaojiao really didn’t understand how Liao Zhaoji could bear to hurt them like that – they were her own flesh and blood after all!

Until she left the school, Ruan Jiaojiao only spoke of amusing school tales, not mentioning anything about Liao Zhaoji.

There was no class with Shu Jiao for tonight’s self-study session. After Shu Jiao and a few other boys finished dinner, they followed the Ruanlin Family’s car and left. Before departing, Lu Xian, with a chuckle, patted Ruan Jiaojiao’s little head and said he would bring her a gift the next time they met.

The next meeting would probably be during their monthly holiday, which also happened to be around Zhao Li’s birthday.

Once in the car, Ruan Jiaojiao was still pondering what gift Lu Xian was going to give her when Xiu Xi stretched out his hand and ruffled her hair, messing it up with his forceful touch.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao glared at him, incensed.

Not wanting to let Xiu Xi be more upset than she was, he huffed and withdrew his hand, eliciting a resigned laugh from Shu Jiao in the front.

To avoid bothering the Ruanlin Family when they returned, the group ate dinner at a restaurant before heading back.

Ruan Jiaojiao began to feel sleepy even before reaching home. After a bath, she went straight to bed. Xiu Xi, for once, did not follow her upstairs but instead went to Ruanlin’s room to find Shu Jiao.

Shu Jiao had just finished a shower and was drying her hair with a towel. Seeing Xiu Xi standing at the doorway, she asked with a puzzled look, "Xiaoxi, is there something you need?"

Xiu Xi nodded and walked in.

"What is it? You can tell me," Shu Jiao said, sitting on the edge of the bed and continuing to dry her hair with one hand.

"I hope Jiaojiao won’t go to the Yuan Family again."

"Why?" Shu Jiao was astonished.

When Ruanlin returned from his shower, he found Shu Jiao’s face already looking upset.

Shu Jiao had a very good impression of the Yuan Family, not only because they were kind to her daughter, but also because they were the Medical World Family. Such a family would naturally give a very good first impression.

But she hadn’t anticipated that the Yuan Family could have such dark secrets.

"Apart from me, have you told anyone else about this matter?" Shu Jiao asked, her expression grave.

Xiu Xi shook his head.

"Good, Xiaoxi, remember, don’t mention this to anyone in the future, especially Jiaojiao," Shu Jiao instructed solemnly.

She knew her daughter best and feared the "evil spirit" that had once taken over her body more than the dark secrets themselves. These past two years she had finally started to forget the past; she didn’t want this matter to remind her of all those previous events.
