As she spoke, she reached out to grab the cured meat in his hand, but before she could touch it, Ruan Chi dodged it.
"Chizi?" She looked at him in surprise, wasn’t it agreed to act as if nothing had happened?
"This is not yours, it’s from Uncle’s family, if you dare to take it, I’ll call the police and have you arrested!"
"You’re crazy!" Liao Zhaoji cried out in disbelief, reaching to snatch it, but Ruan Chi dodged every attempt. She grew angry and raised her hand to hit him.
Ruan Chi clenched his fists tightly and didn’t move away!
Just as her palm was about to land on him, suddenly a plump figure darted forward, rushed in front of him, and pushed the raised hand of Liao Zhaoji away.
Ruan Jiaojiao had been waiting outside.
But after waiting for quite a while without hearing anything, she feared something might be wrong and quietly stepped in, only to witness this scene—Liao Zhaoji was about to hit her brother again!
Last time, she hadn’t been in time to stop it, but this time she was determined not to let her succeed.
She rushed over so quickly that Liao Zhaoji,caught off guard, was knocked back seven or eight steps by the force, until her waist hit the stove behind her, causing her such pain that she shuddered and collapsed to the ground, glaring at Ruan Jiaojiao with an almost ferocious expression, "You unfilial girl, born without a mother’s teachings! Are you trying to kill me?!"
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao, gathering her expression for a moment, suddenly burst into loud wailing.
"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao!" Ruan Chi, who had been lost in his own emotions, snapped back to reality and bent down anxiously, thinking she had hit somewhere, "Did you hit somewhere, tell brother."
Liao Zhaoji, infuriated to the point her nose was almost crooked, couldn’t believe her son was blind to the fact that she was the one who had been hit!
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t speak, she just cried, wailing with all her might!
The situation frightened even Liao Zhaoji, who forgot her own pain at the sight of Ruan Jiaojiao crying as if she was about to faint, panicked for two seconds, then turned and fled out the kitchen door!
Ruan Jiaojiao, from the corner of her eye, saw her run away, run out of her line of sight, and then gradually stopped crying.
But because she had cried so fiercely before, she had caught her breath and couldn’t recover immediately; Ruan Chi holding her, patting her back, became frantic, completely forgetting about Liao Zhaoji, focused only on his little sister who was crying so hard.
Arms looped around his neck, the petite Ruan Jiaojiao burped softly, trying to reassure him, "Brother, I...I’m all right, hic..."
She was small and didn’t have the combativeness of the Ruanlin Family.
Ruan Chi obviously wouldn’t raise his hand against Liao Zhaoji, but she was afraid he’d be hit again, which is why she had to resort to this trick—using tears to scare Liao Zhaoji.
Liao Zhaoji was a bully to the weak but feared the strong; she could be aggressive in front of Ruan Chi and Uncle Ruan, but she was truly afraid of the Ruanlin Family, and Jiaojiao was the Ruanlin Family’s darling. If anything happened to her, the Ruanlin Family would never forgive her.
Liao Zhaoji clearly realized this too, which was why she fled without even thinking of taking the meat.
But this also showed that this woman was truly unfit.
It was a matter of character!
Ruan Jiaojiao had never thought of intervening in the marriage between her and Uncle Ruan before, she just let nature take its course, but now she felt she should add fuel to the fire and completely separate them.
She was utterly unworthy to be a mother, she didn’t love her brothers at all.
