Chapter 869: Chapter 869: The Young Master of a Wealthy Family (5)
Compared to Ruan Jiaojiao’s panic, the Ruanlin Family seed very calm, and their words hit right at the heart of the old lady.
The old lady watched Ruan Jiaojiao, who was obviously resisting her and unusually close to the Ruanlin Family. The joy she had felt when bringing the property deeds had completely vanished, leaving only boundless sorrow.
Although she knew she had been reincarnated again, she had no mory of her past life and was ntally prepared, but actually facing this, seeing Jiaojiao close to others but resisting her and not accepting any of her kindness, she couldn’t help feeling distressed.
These affections and dependencies used to belong only to her.
“Miss, the old lady went to many places to find this house for you, please don’t…” Aunt Liu tried to persuade Ruan Jiaojiao, but was interrupted by the old lady.
“Aunt Liu, stop talking.”
Aunt Liu pursed her lips, took back the property deeds into the bag, looking sowhat heartbroken at the old lady.
The old lady sighed deeply, raised her head, and beckoned Ruan Jiaojiao back to her side.
She took her hand again and said, “Jiaojiao, grandma doesn’t have many years left. The last property I showed you and this house will both be registered in your na, can you take them when you are older, is that okay?” The old lady was almost pleading, as if begging Ruan Jiaojiao.
Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, staying silent.
These things were too valuable, she really couldn’t accept them, but seeing the old lady seed very sad, she couldn’t outright refuse, and had to replace it with silence.
The old lady’s gaze gradually dimd.
Ruanlin Family imdiately ca over to break the silence, changing the topic by asking, “Grandma Yeun rarely visits, should we have lunch here? It’s all farmhouse food. You’re used to delicacies; would you like to change your taste and try it?”
The old lady wanted to spend more ti with Ruan Jiaojiao, and reluctantly nodded with a smile.
Even though Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t accept her gift, she still looked sowhat subdued, but her eyes couldn’t leave Ruan Jiaojiao at all, watching her eat breakfast, drink milk, her gaze as tender as looking at her own granddaughter.
And in that gaze, there was guilt and regret.
Ruanlin occasionally looked over and couldn’t help but frown.
Thinking of what Shu Jiao had said, it made her sowhat uneasy.
Perhaps to others, it all seed superstitious and unlikely to be effective, but for the Ruan Family it was different. The events that had happened to Ruan Jiaojiao were enough to make them believe that everything in this world has its causes and effects.
Why the old lady sowed such karmic debts, she didn’t know, but she knew if these were not retributed upon her, they would fall on her descendants.
Close as Ruan Jiaojiao was to her, how could it be good if it really fell on her?
The Ruan Family’s lunch is always on ti, usually at noon. After Ruan Jiaojiao finished her breakfast and milk and talked with the old lady for a while, she actively helped Ruanlin Family to pick vegetables from the old house.
When they went out, it was Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi together; at at ran to the front, playing rrily with its pack of dog brothers in a lively chase.
As they walked, Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly heard Xiu Xi saying next to her: “I can afford a villa too.”
