Chapter 230: Chapter 230 Nightmare (1)_1 Chapter 230: Chapter 230 Nightmare (1)_1 “Why would you sell it? Keep it safe; we’re not lacking money right now!” Ruan Jianguo said as he reached out to help her put the bracelet back in the jar, but the Ruanlin Family matriarch avoided his hand.
The Ruanlin Family matriarch glared at him irritably, “How are we not lacking? Ruan Hao and Ruan Jie are going to high school and junior high respectively in the second half of the year, and Jiaojiao will also be starting school. All of these require money. On top of that, you’re building a house that will need decorating and furnishing. Even if you had a mountain of money, it would be running low by now. Don’t think I’m unaware.”
“Besides, I’m not just giving you this bracelet for nothing; I’m investing! Do you understand what that ans?”
“Jiaojiao made so sense the other day when she said that compared to others, our family has more convenience and capital. I know you want to open a restaurant. If you sell this, it should cover the capital you need to start up.”
Ruan Jianguo looked at her with a complex expression and was silent for a long ti.
First, he had not expected his mother to know so much, even understanding the concept of investing. Second, it was because the Ruanlin Family matriarch’s blatant favoritism was too obvious!
No wonder his younger brother’s family was making such a fuss. With his mother’s favoritism like this, anyone would be unwilling!
He looked at her and joked, “Mom, aren’t you afraid I’ll lose everything?”
“I know business is tough these days, but as Boss, you’re the one who has to take this risk. If you ended up making money, we’ll pull your three brothers in too. I know it may not be fair to you, but you are Boss…”
“Mom, what are you talking about! I was just joking; I didn’t an it,” Ruan Jianguo hastily explained, not expecting the Ruanlin Family matriarch to take him seriously.
“Don’t talk now, just listen to . If you really want to go to Lu Zhiwei’s place since he invited you, you can. But we can’t take advantage of him. Sell this and see how much you can get for it. If it’s not enough, I’ll figure sothing else out.”
“Mom…” Looking at the Ruanlin Family matriarch, Ruan Jianguo was extrely moved and didn’t know what to say for a mont.
“Keep it safe. Once you open the restaurant, work hard at it. We’ve heard from Shu Jiao too, so settle down and take it seriously. In the future, I’ll rely on your household; my retirent is all in this. You can’t afford to lose everything, understand?”
“Hmm!” Ruan Jianguo nodded firmly.
“Alright, keep it safe and hidden from others.” Even though Liao Zhaoji, the troublemaker, was gone and both Du Qing and Wu Le were good people, when it cos to money, things can change.
The Ruanlin Family matriarch wasn’t just financially aiding the main house; she was giving them an opportunity. If the restaurant really took off and began making money, she would certainly rember the younger ones and wouldn’t let them suffer.
But these things were not sothing she could divulge right now; they had to be kept secret.
Ruan Jianguo cradled the bracelet that felt as heavy as a thousand catties and carefully left the Ruanlin Family matriarch’s room. He went to his own room and securely stored it away.
No sooner had he tucked the bracelet away than Ruan Jiaojiao, who was sound asleep in the main room, suddenly started convulsing in her sleep, letting out a terrified scream.
“No, don’t!” Her voice was filled with extre panic and turmoil.
Hearing the scream from the inner room, the Ruanlin Family matriarch rushed out to see Ruan Jiaojiao convulsing in the rocking chair, while Xiu Xi stood by helplessly, gripping her hand tightly.
Ruan Jianguo also ran out and scooped up Ruan Jiaojiao, “What happened, Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao!” he said anxiously, patting her face hoping to wake her.
