Chapter 727: Snatch (19)_1
"Don’t worry so much," she said. "From now on, just focus on your studies. The same way your Uncle’s wife supports your brother Hao, she will support you three brothers in the future."
"Auntie," Ruan Wei said, his eyes brimming with tears.
"Oh dear," Shu Jiao pulled him into an embrace, hugging him lightly, and patted his back. "There, there, go to sleep now. Have a good rest tonight, and there’ll be nothing troubling you tomorrow."
"Auntie’s place is close to yours and since both Hao and Jie are not home, feel free to sleep here instead."
"Mhm," Ruan Wei nodded vigorously, feeling that Auntie was incredibly kind.
Shu Jiao gave him a tender smile, helped him close the door, but as soon as it shut, the smile on her face vanished completely.
She walked downstairs with a stern face. When she reached the bottom, she saw Ruan Jiandang at the stairway, waiting for her with a pleasing smile. Shu Jiao just snorted coldly, not sparing him a glance, and went straight to the Ruanlin Family’s room.
Ruan Jiaojiao was already asleep, the glass of milk unfinished. Xiu Xi stood by the bed, silently watching over her, his gaze deep and contemplative.
The Ruanlin Family matriarch still had a displeased expression on her face.
In truth, regarding the second branch’s affairs, she knew she had done some wrong.
Because of Ruan Jiandang’s divorce, she had taken extra care of the three children from the second branch, which resulted in Ruan Wei nearly living at the Ruan Family house. This gave Jiandang the illusion that he didn’t need to take care of his own children, as the main branch was managing everything for him.
