Chapter 790: Chapter 790: Shu Jiao confronts Liao Zhaoji (4)_1

Ruan Jiandang watched her expressionlessly.

After a long while, he finally nodded.

Liao Zhaoji hurriedly scrambled up from the ground, patted the dust off her clothes, and said, "Okay, you give me a thousand yuan, and I won’t fight with you for our son anymore."

"..."

Even though they had long predicted such an outcome, seeing Liao Zhaoji unhesitatingly sell them out for a mere thousand yuan, Ruan Jun, Ruan Chi, and Ruan Wei still couldn’t help feeling a bout of discomfort.

Ruan Wei, the youngest, had been hiding inside the shop and didn’t dare to come out. Hearing this, he couldn’t stop his tears and immediately burst into tears.

Shu Jiao, upon hearing this, actually felt relieved, really afraid that she would continue her unreasonable pestering. While Ruan Jiandang went to get the money, she also went back into the house.

"Xiaojun, Xiaochi..." As Ruan Jiandang turned and entered the restaurant, and Shu Jiao did the same, Liao Zhaoji hesitantly looked toward her two sons, wanting to talk to them, but as she moved closer, both stepped away simultaneously.

"Let’s go inside," said Ruan Chi to Ruan Jiaojiao, ignoring the hopeful look in Liao Zhaoji’s eyes behind them, and pulling Ruan Jiaojiao, he went inside the house.

The restaurant had a thousand yuan in cash, which Ruan Jiandang took out first to give to Liao Zhaoji. Shu Jiao handwrote an agreement for Liao Zhaoji to completely sever her ties with the three Ruan children, complete with the signatures of a few police officers from the shop as witnesses.

Shu Jiao and Ruan Jiandang came out ten minutes later.

Liao Zhaoji, unable to write, Shu Jiao brought out the seal ink.

"Sign this, and you can take this thousand," she said.

Illiterate, Liao Zhaoji glanced at the paper, "I can’t read, what if you frame me?"

Shu Jiao asked the officer next to her to read it out loud, and then Liao Zhaoji pressed her thumbprint, and at the same time, Ruan Jiandang also signed his name.

As soon as Ruan Jiandang signed his name, Liao Zhaoji immediately snatched the money; all in hundred-yuan bills. She looked at them with shining eyes, licked her fingers, and counted again and again. The sight was both pitiful and tragic.

Only after counting several times and finding no mistake did Liao Zhaoji securely tie the money inside her belt lining before looking at Ruan Jun, seemingly wanting to speak. But none in the group gave her a second glance, all entering the restaurant.

She instinctively wanted to follow, but seeing so many guests inside, each looking like an important personality, she became afraid again. Reluctantly, she glanced at the backs of Ruan Chi and the others before walking away, clutching the money at her waist.

"Keep this agreement safe; it has legal effect. If she causes trouble in the future, you can call the police directly," Shu Jiao said inside the restaurant, handing the agreement to Ruan Jiandang, knowing someone like Liao Zhaoji would back down if faced with police intimidation.

Ruan Jiandang held the agreement, his gaze turning dark. Ruan Chi beside him reached out and took it.

"I’ll keep it."

Ruan Jiandang nodded indifferently, as if nothing had happened, and returned to his own table.

But once there, he drank incessantly. Seeing this, the three brothers exchanged glances, but no one stopped him; they just let him drink.

Ruan Wei was still crying, while Ruan Jun and Ruan Chi acted as if nothing was wrong.

But Ruan Jiaojiao knew the scars Liao Zhaoji left on their hearts were probably very deep. She only hoped time could soothe their pain.

Liao Zhaoji’s ruckus had dampened everyone’s appetite, and Ruan Jiaojiao, worried about Ruan Chi and the others, ate only a few bites without appetite, attentively watching over them with her eyes.

That night, when it was time to go back, Ruan Jianguo had the driver of the store’s truck drive them home.
