Chapter 951: Chapter 951: He Said He Wouldn’t Leave (11)

"What do you mean by ’just’? Are you implying that we haven’t taken good care of her and you want to take her away?" Shu Jiao retorted.

Mrs. Yuan, the elder lady, lowered her eyes guiltily. Indeed, she had come with that intention, even if she could not achieve it, she also hoped that the Ruan Family would not continue to alienate her. She really just wanted to do well by her daughter, to make amends.

"Mrs. Yuan, to use your own words, I didn’t want to say this, but now that we’ve come to this point, I just want to ask you one thing. You said you’ve tried many ways to have your daughter reincarnated, but are you aware that Jiaojiao was born with a malevolent life force?"

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Yuan asked in astonishment.

"What do I mean? I just want to kindly advise you to stop, you are healthy now, but have you ever thought about the misdeeds you’ve done and on whom the consequences have fallen?"

"I don’t care about the past life; all I know is that in this life, Jiaojiao is my daughter, the treasure of our Ruan Family. If you, Mrs. Yuan, truly have even a little bit of remorse, then stop your selfish actions. The retribution for your sins has already fallen on those around you, so please stay away from Jiaojiao from now on."

After saying this, Shu Jiao didn’t wait for Mrs. Yuan’s reaction and turned to leave.

After finishing her words, Shu Jiao returned to the hospital ward and did not concern herself with what Mrs. Yuan thought. But as she had said, if Mrs. Yuan really had even the slightest bit of guilt, she should have realized that Jiaojiao’s illness was inseparable from the sins she had committed.

Moreover, she truly couldn’t feel any remorse from her; the kind of methods she spoke of are not used by common people, and anyone with a bit of conscience would know that they can bring about divine retribution, especially since she herself believed in reincarnation. How could she have done such a thing?

This wasn’t guilt, it was just a selfish act fueled by her own desires; she wasn’t remorseful for her daughter, she just wanted to feel a little better herself.

Shu Jiao waited for Mrs. Yuan and her family to leave before going to school. Before she left, she instructed the Ruanlin Family and Zhao Li and the others to forbid visits from Mrs. Yuan’s family.

She didn’t care if her daughter was the reincarnation of Mrs. Yuan’s daughter; all she knew was that Jiaojiao was her darling, a treasure unique to the Ruan Family! A treasure she would protect at all costs, even if it cost her life.

Right after returning home, Mrs. Yuan fell ill, and temporarily she had no time to bother the Ruan Family.

Perhaps Shu Jiao’s words today had completely pierced her veil of shame. The things she had done over the years, whether they were really to make up for her prematurely lost child or merely to ease her own conscience—a question perhaps only she knew the answer to in her heart.

Ruan Jiaojiao recovered nicely over the next two days; no fever, her wounds didn’t get inflamed again, and every day she was well-fed, well-rested, and in good spirits. The only discontent could probably be that Xiu Xi was not by her side, the itch of her wound made it hard for her to concentrate, and she could only listen to Ruan Jianguo’s not-so-standard Mandarin as he narrated "horror stories" with animated emotion.

On the fourth day of her hospital stay, she was discharged.

On the day of her discharge, it was a monthly holiday for high school students, and it happened to be the weekend for middle and elementary schools, so ten big and small boys including her eight brothers and two god-brothers, a good dozen of them, swarmed in and nearly filled the entire hospital ward.

Dr. Yuan, who was conducting her final check-up, felt a chill on his back under the gaze of all those eyes.
