Chapter 589 Shu Wei (5)

Before Ruan Jiaojiao and Xu Xu followed Liu Ma out, they subconsciously glanced at the stairwell. Yuan Maner's ink painting was still there...

The Yuan family's car was parked in the yard. When Ruan Jiaojiao got in the car, she looked into the house. Through the window, she saw that Old Lady Yuan did not stand at the window to see her off as before, but stood at the staircase with her head slightly tilted up.

Ruan Jiaojiao thought, she was probably looking at Yuan Maner.

"Grandma Liu, Grandma Yuan seems to be in a bad mood. Please accompany her more." Before getting in the car, Ruan Jiaojiao said to Liu Ma who sent them out.

Liu Ma smiled and nodded at her, and handed her the small gift box in her hand: "Miss Jiaojiao, this is the cake that the eldest young master just sent this morning. It has chocolate flavor. Madam asked you to take it back to eat."

"Okay, thank Grandma for me." Ruan Jiaojiao did not delay, but generously took the small gift box and watched Liu Ma close the car door.

Liu Ma watched the car drive out of the yard all the way, and then turned back.

As soon as she returned to the house, she saw Mrs. Yuan standing in the stairwell, looking at the painting.

"Madam." She walked up and supported her: "Take care of yourself."

Mrs. Yuan patted her hands and smiled bitterly: "What do you mean by take care of yourself? I don't care about my body anymore. I'm just afraid of death... I'm afraid of seeing her after I die."

"Madam..."

"Liu Ling, how much do you think Man'er hated me as a mother back then?" She asked, her tone was very sad, but she didn't shed a single tear even though she was so sad.

What's even more tragic is that if time could go back, her choice might still be the same. She would still leave that little her in that vast ocean...

On the way back, Ruan Jiaojiao and Xu Xu sat in the back seat together.

She glanced at the driver who was driving seriously in front of her, and whispered to Xu Xu beside her: "Brother Xu, do you think the person that Grandma Yuan just mentioned is the little girl in the painting?"

She always had a strange feeling every time she saw Yuan Man'er.

But she couldn't describe what kind of feeling it was.

"Miss Jiaojiao, are you talking about the youngest daughter of the Yuan family, Yuan Maner?" Before Xu Xu could answer, the driver in front of him started talking first.

Ruan Jiaojiao immediately leaned on the back of the front seat, curiously poked her head out and asked: "Does the driver know?"

"Of course I know, everyone in our area knows it." The driver said, pausing for two seconds: "Old Mrs. Yuan gave birth to five children in total, four boys, and the youngest is a girl."

"But why the little girl didn't grow up, I don't know, but I heard that she died when she was very young. For her, the Yuan family has to hold a free clinic every year. I heard that it is to pray for the daughter who died young."

"Of course, I don't know whether these are true or not, but this is what we spread here." The driver finally said, a little embarrassed: "Don't tell these things to Old Mrs. Yuan..."

"I know." Ruan Jiaojiao nodded in understanding and retracted her little head.

She appeared calm on the surface, but she had actually guessed a lot in her heart. But when she thought that there were outsiders in the car, she didn't continue to ask, but went to Ruan's house in silence all the way.

As soon as the car stopped at Ruan's house, the person who ran up to help open the door was not a member of the Ruan family, nor was it Shu Lang, but a beautiful girl wearing a bright red tweed coat and wedge-heeled high heels.
