Chapter 940: Can’t Return (10)
In this life, it was the wolf that had accompanied her daughter for many years that possessed this body, its exceptional talents evident from an early age, which attracted the attention of the Duan Family, especially the old Duan patriarch. Before she returned, she had heard that the patriarch was in poor health and may not have much time left.
That Xiu Xi could go to Beidu to participate in the Math Olympiad competition fully demonstrated his excellence, which is why the old Duan patriarch noticed him and was unwilling to let him go.
"If he doesn’t come back, what will we do about Jiaojiao? She’s been longing for him," the Ruanlin Family matriarch said anxiously, not caring at all about Xiu Xi’s background, only worried that if he didn’t return, what would become of her Jiaojiao!
"Mom, we need to calm Jiaojiao for now. Once she’s discharged from the hospital, I’ll go to Beidu and bring him back," Shu Jiao said.
The Ruanlin Family matriarch looked at her, hesitated, and asked: "Can you bring him back? Is the Duan Family really that powerful? Would Xiaoxi..."
"No matter how powerful, he must be brought back." Shu Jiao hid the coldness in her eyes, patted the Ruanlin Family matriarch’s hand, and simply said: "Mom, let’s not talk to Jiaojiao about these things for now."
"Okay." The Ruanlin Family matriarch nodded, but her heart was still filled with anxiety.
She also knew that it would be hard to keep it a secret, at most for a day or two.
Ruan Jiaojiao slept for another two or three hours, and when she woke up again, the sky had turned overcast. The school principal, her homeroom teacher, and Gu Zichen brought a few classmates to visit her.
Although Ruan Jiaojiao was injured by herself, it happened at school after all, so it was appropriate for the principal to come and express his condolences.
