CHAPTER 1212: CHAPTER 1212: WHY ARE YOU STEALING MY DAUGHTER!! (6)

"What?" Madam Yuan’s face was still streaked with tears, and hearing this, she looked at her, full of shock.

Shu Jiao looked at her, initially intending to mock, but suddenly felt it was meaningless. She sighed and said calmly, "Madam Yuan, since the matter is already in the past, why cling to it so persistently?"

To her, if it truly came to that point, she would rather die herself than have her daughter die. If Xiaojie and the others couldn’t live without her, then they would go together; in the Underworld, they would still be a family.

But there was no need to involve Madam Yuan in this, because from Madam Yuan’s words just now, there were only two choices for her, neither of which included herself. The implication was clear.

She repents and confesses, but it’s just to find an outlet for her own selfishness.

Madam Yuan looked at Shu Jiao, who still seemed so calm, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and gently wiped the tears from her face.

Perhaps she realized that even if she opened up her wounds for this person to see, it might not move her. Instead, she became calm, as if the overly saddened past version of her never existed.

Clutching the edge of the blanket, she said, "Xiaojiao, I already know about your mother-in-law’s situation. With the advancement of medicine, curing this is not a difficult thing..."

"Madam Yuan, I believe you should have looked into my background, right?" Shu Jiao interrupted her, looking at her, "Then why do you think I have to plead with you?"

Hearing this, Madam Yuan laughed and looked at Shu Jiao as if she were a child: "Xiaojiao, just before, I said you were steady. Look at you now, why are you acting like a child?"

"Even if the Shu Family is powerful, that’s only in Beidu. Haven’t you heard the saying? ’The sky is high and the emperor is far away.’ Do you think the Yuan Family can’t hold back a small Ruan Family, and do you think your mother-in-law can still wait?"

Such words might intimidate others, but they were of no use to Shu Jiao at all.

She sighed.

Looking at Madam Yuan, shaking her head, she simply said, "You’re really getting old."

"What do you mean?" Madam Yuan didn’t receive the fear and trepidation she expected from Shu Jiao, but instead got such a response, immediately knitting her brows.

Shu Jiao retorted, "What do you think?"

She wasn’t so naive or fearless. As soon as she saw the Yuan Family’s car, she pressed the button on the large mobile phone in her bag, which she had specially bought just for emergencies after Jiaojiao started encountering problems frequently a few days ago.

So before getting into the car, she had already made several calls to Ruan Jianguo, and the couple had also discussed strategies. As expected, Ruan Jianguo should already be on his way.

As for the things Madam Yuan said, she wasn’t afraid of them at all.

The Qing Dynasty was over, yet she was still dreaming those daydreams.

As if to confirm Shu Jiao’s words, noises soon came from outside. Ruan Jianguo’s loud voice could be heard by anyone, even the deaf.

Madam Yuan hadn’t expected Shu Jiao to be so resistant, and looking at Shu Jiao’s calm and composed demeanor, she couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed. Not knowing what came to mind, she suddenly flipped the back of the switch on her body, and the person struggled and fell off the bed. Shu Jiao was startled and instinctively stepped back, but was still directly hugged by Madam Yuan around the leg.
