Chapter 437: Chapter 437 Won are so fickle (4)_1 Chapter 437: Chapter 437 Won are so fickle (4)_1 The Ruanlin Family was getting better day by day; today, they could sit up halfway, propped up on their shoulders.
But they still couldn’t eat anything too hard, only soft, liquid foods.
Ruan Jiaojiao thought of the Lingzhi from last night and couldn’t wait for her grandmother to have so, so she said to Ruan Jianguo, “Dad, can you ask Uncle Yuan how to use the Lingzhi? It would be great if Grandma could start taking it sooner and get better faster.”
“Alright,” Ruan Jianguo replied without hesitation when it ca to serious matters, “Dad will go ask later.”
Only then did Ruan Jiaojiao feel reassured to continue with her own breakfast.
After breakfast, Ruan Jianguo took the Lingzhi and left. Ruan Jiaojiao, feeling better than the day before, walked around on her own for a while, but when she got tired, she went back to bed to lie down and took the opportunity to massage the Ruanlin Family.
Seeing that the stiffness in Ruanlin’s body had obviously improved a lot, she happily said, “Grandma, once you eat the Lingzhi, you will definitely get better. When I go back to school, you must continue to bring Jiaojiao her als, okay?”
“Hmm, okay…” Ruanlin murmured a vague response, fully aware of what Ruan Jiaojiao ant—the little one was deliberately spurring her on.
Before noon arrived, Zhao Li ca. She had refrained from coming all day yesterday but couldn’t hold back anymore today, and braving the scorching sun, she hurried over with so freshly stewed mung bean soup in hand.
She felt sowhat embarrassed when she saw Shu Jiao in the ward.
Thinking back on the day before last, she realized more and more that she had been in the wrong.
Her visit today was to offer a sincere apology; she figured she must have been delirious from the heat to have uttered those hurtful words.
She greeted Ruan Jiaojiao and the Ruanlin Family first, and when Shu Jiao stepped out, Zhao Li followed her out.
Shu Jiao was emptying water from a basin into the sink and didn’t notice soone following her.
Turning around, she saw Zhao Li and thought she was there to use the restroom, not paying much attention. Just as she was about to leave, Zhao Li stopped her.
Shu Jiao looked up, her eyes holding a detached gaze.
“Is there sothing you need?”
“Haha, no, no.” Zhao Li started with an awkward laugh before saying, “Sister-in-law, I’m really sorry about the other day. I don’t know what ca over ; the words just ca out without thinking. Please forgive ; I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against .”
“I really like Jiaojiao so much; I had finally persuaded your aunt to let be her godmother, and I hadn’t even enjoyed that for long when you ca back. Of course, I’m not saying I wasn’t hoping for your return. I just felt so envy and jealousy… which led to make those foolish mistakes.”
Shu Jiao, who had been expressionless up to that point, softened her facial expression slightly upon hearing these words.
In fact, it wasn’t just Zhao Li who felt envy and jealousy—she felt the sa. Her own daughter preferred another woman over her, which stirred feelings of jealousy. Added to her imnse sorrow at the ti, her words naturally ca out harshly.
Looking back now, the mory was painful.
During her absence, soone else had cherished and protected her daughter, fulfilling the duties of a mother in her stead. She realized she had no right to be dissatisfied.
She should have been grateful to them, yet she had been so rude out of jealousy.
With these thoughts, Shu Jiao placed the basin down and looked seriously at Zhao Li, saying, “Actually, I was in the wrong; I should be the one apologizing to you, Zhao Li. I am truly grateful for how you’ve looked after my daughter these past days.” After saying this, Shu Jiao also gave Zhao Li a deep bow.
