Chapter 867: The Young Master of a Wealthy Family (3)
Ruan Jiaojiao woke up halfway upon hearing the words and struggled to sit up: "Grandma Yuan? Why has she come?" As she spoke, she started to get dressed, while asking: "Is Brother Xiu up yet, has Brother Xiu gotten up?"
"He’s up, now downstairs," the Ruanlin Family said, helping her with her sleeves.
With Xiu Xi at home, Ruan Jiaojiao felt relieved.
Ever since Zhao Li’s birthday, Ruan Jiaojiao hadn’t visited the Yuan Family. Even if the Yuan Family’s driver came to invite them, the Ruanlin Family would always find excuses to turn them down, possibly due to the frequency of these refusals, the Yuan Family’s matriarch noticed the Ruan Family’s attitude. After that, they didn’t extend further invitations, not even a gesture for Ruan Jiaojiao’s birthday.
The Ruan Family originally thought there would be no more contact in the future, but now she had unexpectedly come over.
Perhaps noticing that she didn’t visit the Yuan Family anymore, she took the initiative to come to the Ruan Family.
Actually, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t really have any bad feelings towards the Yuan Family; in her eyes, the Yuan Family’s matriarch was just a lonely old lady. She hoped for company, and Ruan Jiaojiao would keep her company, after all, she had once helped their family.
But Shu Jiao and Xiu Xi did not want her to get close to them, and compared to them, she naturally preferred her own mother and Xiu Xi.
Now that the person had come to their home, she could only receive her.
Still, sometimes Ruan Jiaojiao felt curious as to why the Yuan Family’s matriarch liked her so much. Although Zhao Li also recognized her as a goddaughter later and initially was also fond of her, Ruan Jiaojiao felt these two were different in her heart.
Initially, Zhao Li might have just liked her, and it was only liking. She wanted a daughter, and Ruan Jiaojiao happened to satisfy her fantasy of having a daughter, so she was very fond of her from the start.
