CHAPTER 1209: CHAPTER 1209: WHY ARE YOU TAKING MY DAUGHTER!! (3)

Yang Tao thought about her nine brothers, and smiled instantly, but as she kept smiling, she felt a bit sad.

"Jiaojiao, we’re in two different classes now, we can’t play like we used to. You mustn’t forget me."

"I won’t." Ruan Jiaojiao held her hand: "If you don’t come to find me, I can come to find you, we’re just separated by a wall."

"Mm!" Saying this, Yang Tao felt the same, actually just separated by a wall, after all, they couldn’t play during class time, but weren’t they together often after class? Her mood instantly improved, she said: "A new movie came out at my place the other day, let’s watch it together this afternoon."

"Sure, is it for money?"

"Hahaha, if you want to give, I don’t mind."

"Talking money hurts feelings, better to skip it."

The two young girls walked ahead, laughing, and it was indeed a joyful scene. Ruan Jiaojiao completely forgot about her recent misfortunes, something that should have been a happy thing, but Xiu Xi, following behind, felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He realized too, as they grew up, her social circle expanded, she had more and more friends, while he, from the beginning to the end, only had her...

Xiu Xi lowered his gaze, shading the dimness in his eyes... How he wished her world was like his, forever having only him would be wonderful.

When Ruan Jiaojiao returned to the villa, only the Ruanlin Family and Rourou were at home. Shu Lang was probably out dating, Qin Qiong and Ruan Jianguo had gone to school, seemingly preparing to break ground for the new teaching building soon.

Zhao Li also arrived at the Ruan Family around eleven o’clock, helping the Ruanlin Family cook lunch, and they just as well had lunch together.

During lunch, Shu Jiao hadn’t returned yet, and Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t mind, only thinking she was busy with school matters and couldn’t make it back, she just set aside some food in a separate bowl for her.

She didn’t know that Shu Jiao’s absence wasn’t due to being busy, but because as soon as she left the school gate, she was taken to another place by a car.

When Shu Jiao saw the Yuan Family’s car parked at the school gate, her expression remained calm, yet deep down she scoffed, surprised that the Yuan Family couldn’t wait any longer, she hadn’t even sought them out, and they came themselves.

The Yuan Family’s matters, of course, should be dealt with as soon as possible, Shu Jiao didn’t fear any shady tactics they might employ, she directly got into the car.

From school to the Yuan Family, she remained calm throughout the journey, which made the man in black sitting in the passenger seat quite astonished. When he got out of the car to invite her in, although polite, his demeanor was ultimately with a hint of coercion, others would surely have panicked, yet she didn’t fear at all, came aboard composedly, and her attitude was even calm, without asking any questions.

Arriving at the Yuan Family, the man in black got out to invite Shu Jiao, who got off holding her bag, and looked up to survey the Yuan Family’s villa.

Ruan Jiaojiao had come to the Yuan Family countless times, but this was her first visit.

For the past few years, Yuan Family’s main branch seemingly moved out of this villa, now only Yuan Madam and Aunt Liu, along with several servants, were staying here.

The house was large, lacked vitality, inevitably giving people a creepy sense.

Shu Jiao rubbed her goose-bumped arms, thinking she should have worn an extra piece of clothing before heading out this morning.
