Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Sold to the Old Man (7)_1 Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Sold to the Old Man (7)_1 “Of course… of course it’s to remarry your dad and co back to take care of you all, to live a good life with your dad. Xiaojun, do you still not trust Mom? Mom really knows she was wrong, and she’ll never do that again,” Liao Zhaoji answered earnestly.
Ruan Jun scoffed.
He turned his gaze away, filled with self-contempt.
“So, from the very beginning, you never thought about cutting ties with your maternal family, did you?”
Liao Zhaoji twisted her fingers, mumbling and unsure of how to respond.
To tell the truth, what the Li Family had done truly hurt her, and she felt deeply saddened, but she also felt it was understandable given their current situation; they had no other choice.
She believed that if her family had the money, they certainly wouldn’t have sold her off.
And if there was anyone to bla for this incident, it was Liao Laifu’s unreliable partner; they had agreed not to demand a bride price, but then he suddenly changed his tune. Wasn’t this driving her parents to desperation?
They were also out of options.
Of course, what they did was wrong, and it did hurt her; she was very upset and wouldn’t so easily forgive them.
Her silence and hesitation made Ruan Jun realize that his mother was truly beyond redemption.
Even at this mont.
She was still hesitating, or perhaps it should be said, she might never have considered cutting ties with the Liao Family!
In her heart, even though those people treated her like that, they were still her family!
Ruan Jun felt disheartened.
Still, as a son, he couldn’t really watch Liao Zhaoji be sold.
He lifted his head and looked at her, his voice very cold as he said, “You should go back to the Liao Family first. I’ll figure out a solution for this matter, but once I’ve sorted this out for you, never co back to the Ruan Family again, and don’t think about remarrying Dad, alright? If you can promise that, I’ll solve this for you.”
“Xiaojun! What are you saying! Don’t you want Mom to co back? Don’t you want your parents to remarry?!”
Liao Zhaoji couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
Her son actually didn’t want her to co back?
And didn’t want her to remarry his dad?
“I’m only asking you, do you agree?” Ruan Jun repeated, not even wanting any superfluous explanations, because he knew that no matter what he explained, it would be futile.
He also knew that Liao Zhaoji was a bottomless pit!
The entire Liao Family was a bottomless pit, one that could never be filled.
And he didn’t want to deal with it.
But who made him the son of Liao Zhaoji? It was a burden he could never shake off in his lifeti. However, he was unwilling to let the Ruan Family bear this burden, to let his father carry it, so he had to take it up himself.
Liao Zhaoji didn’t want to agree.
But seeing Ruan Jun’s expressionless face, she knew he was serious.
She clenched her fists. Her main goal this ti was to return to the Ruan Family, not for those few hundred dollars. But if she didn’t first free herself from her current predicant, she’d lose any chance of returning to the Ruan Family.
She could only grit her teeth and nod her head, but imdiately hesitated again, “Where are you getting all this money, how are you going to solve it?”
Ruan Jun’s gaze flickered and he looked away, “That’s not your concern!”
“You should leave now. I need to get back, don’t follow or Grandma won’t let you off. Once I’ve gathered the money, I’ll send it to you.” Having said this, Ruan Jun turned and left.
Liao Zhaoji stood behind, staring with wide eyes, only able to remain in place.
When Ruan Jun returned to the Ruan Family, the younger Ruanlin kids had already finished breakfast and gone to school. Seeing Ruan Jun suddenly co back, Mrs. Ruanlin was surprised, “Why have you co back? Is it a holiday? What about the others?”
