Chapter 290: Heart Disease (7)_1
This comfort and indulgence seemed to be etched into his soul, that whenever he saw her wronged, he would instinctively comfort her, with no thought for anything else.
"Brother Chi!" Ruan Jiaojiao had been pretending at first, but upon seeing Ruan Chi like this, she couldn’t hold back anymore. Her eyes stung and tears poured out as she cried, embracing Ruan Chi, "Brother, you scared me to death!"
"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, brother will protect Jiaojiao, do not be afraid." Ruan Chi also held her, comforting her with unbearable heartache.
The matriarch of the Ruan Family’s eyes reddened, and she turned away her gaze.
The other members of the Ruan Family too had their eyes turn red, feeling a sour and bitter ache in their hearts.
Especially Ruan Jiandang, who had turned pale.
He just realized that he, as a father, was always failing. When Liao Zhaoji was there, he left them all to her, never inquiring about their lives, not noticing whether they were faring well, thinking that bringing home money was good enough.
Later, after Liao Zhaoji left, he dumped them on his elderly mother, still feeling every day that his life was harsh, and not what he desired, yet still, he did not pay attention to the children.
