Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Strong Desire to Possess (3)_1 Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Strong Desire to Possess (3)_1 Jiaojiao squinted her eyes, watching her walk away from the door, her small mouth hooked into a proud, satisfied smile.
“You little mischief,” the Ruanlin Family matriarch tapped her on the nose, “you’re the one with the most cunning ideas.”
Jiaojiao humd softly without retorting; after all, Grandma was her cat, and she wasn’t going to let anyone else snatch her away!
The Ruanlin Family matriarch had lived for so many years, how could she not see through Wa Yiting’s ingratiating actions? Perhaps it was because she was starved of love and thus sought to get so care from her.
But the Ruanlin Family matriarch wasn’t one to love everyone; she couldn’t even pamper her own little darling enough, let alone care for soone from another family.
Besides, her little darling wasn’t happy; she was jealous! She couldn’t bear to see her unhappy.
The afternoon.
When Jiaojiao woke up from her nap, the boys had just returned from school. They sat in a row in the courtyard, doing their howork. Rubbing her eyes, Jiaojiao walked out, and Ruan Jie was the first to rush over.
“Jiaojiao,” he said, picking her up and kissing her, then helped her drink so water.
Over there, Little Fatty was eagerly twisting a wet towel for her, offering it for her to clean her face.
Wiping her face with the slightly cool towel, Jiaojiao was instantly more awake and looked around at her brothers with a cute and sweet smile.
“Jiaojiao is going to study in the second half of the year. How about your brother teaches you how to recognize characters?” said Ruan Qun, who was just in the first grade.
Upon hearing this, Little Fatty imdiately glared at him disdainfully, “You’re just in the first grade; if anyone is to teach, it should be .”
Ruan Jie snorted with laughter, “Of course, I’ll be the one teaching Jiaojiao.”
“It’s better if I do it. I ranked third in the final exams last sester,” Ruan Chi added.
“I also ranked third,” Ruan Feng chid in.
“I ranked first!” Ruan Jie boasted.
“…” Jiaojiao.
Watching the brothers bicker, each wanting to be her life tutor, Jiaojiao silently took her short little steps and headed for the door—she had absolutely no interest in studying at the mont!
“Sister, where are you going?” the six little brothers, red in the face from their debate, finally noticed the center of their attention was missing. Seeing her walking away, they asked in confusion.
“I’m going to the village entrance to watch Dad build the house.”
“Ah, I’ll co with you,” Ruan Jie imdiately said, shoving his books and howork into his bag haphazardly, placing it on the chair, and chasing after her.
Ruan Wei and Little Fatty had finished theirs as well and followed along.
The others hadn’t finished yet; they had long ford the habit of completing their howork the night before, so they could only watch enviously as the three of them walked away with their sister. They wrote quickly, eager to finish and follow.
However, before the group of four made it to the village entrance, Ruan Wei encountered Liao Zhaoji.
Liao Zhaoji stood by the outer wall of a house, and upon seeing the four of them approaching, she subconsciously hid a little behind it. After Jiaojiao and Ruan Jie had walked ahead, she tentatively called out to Ruan Wei in a weak voice.
Ruan Wei was at the back, but only a few steps behind Jiaojiao and the rest. Ruan Jie and Little Fatty also heard the voice.
Jiaojiao glanced over and saw Liao Zhaoji quickly ducking behind the corner.
She lowered her eyelids in thought, then said to Ruan Jie and Little Fatty, “Let’s hurry along.”
“Okay,” Ruan Jie didn’t like this second aunt and didn’t want to see her. Hearing this, he took her hand and continued walking. They all ignored her, and Little Fatty certainly wouldn’t give her any attention.
As the three of them moved forward, Ruan Wei stood hesitantly on the spot. Just as he thought about catching up, Liao Zhaoji erged from around the corner and pulled him away towards the back.
