Chapter 1298: Chapter 1298: The Forgotten Eighth Kid (10)
He had a suspicion in his heart, but it was too shocking to believe.
After years of brotherhood, the two had a mutual understanding. Ruan Jie looked at the little one who was joyfully drinking from the baby bottle, and said directly, "Just as you thought."
Since he had already exposed himself, he decided not to hide any longer.
At this moment, Xiu Xi returned, taking advantage of Ruan Jiaojiao’s nap.
As soon as he returned, he went straight to Ruan Hao and reached out to take over the little kitten.
"..." Lu Xian.
Now he could almost be sure of his suspicion.
Because he knew that the Ruan Family’s adopted Xiu Xi would only act this way towards Ruan Jiaojiao and not towards anyone or anything else.
But how could this be possible?!!!
Lu Xian was momentarily unable to accept this, stunned and unsure how to react.
Meanwhile, Ruan Jiaojiao had been taken by Xiu Xi, and Lu Zishu was dazedly watching this person who only treated Ruan Jiaojiao well and smiled at her, now tenderly holding a kitten and even lowering his head to kiss the kitten’s forehead.
"..." Lu Zishu.
His worldviews were about to be shattered!
Is... Xiu Xi also crazy?
"Meow?" Brother Xi, where did you go?
Ruan Jiaojiao found a moment to ask, then continued to happily suck on the bottle.
Without a hint of embarrassment or shyness, she used her little paws to hold onto the somewhat large bottle for her.
"Had a matter to deal with, but it’s resolved now," Xiu Xi said, holding the bottle for her.
From an angle Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t see, his gaze was very cold.
The old lady of the Yuan Family was dead, Liu Ma had been detained, and the Yuan Family’s enterprise faced the fate of being taken over; it could be said that the Yuan Family was utterly collapsing.
But that wasn’t enough, far from enough.
From the moment he discovered the Yuan Family was engaging in heinous activities, he restricted Ruan Jiaojiao from making contact with them.
He thought Ruan Jiaojiao shouldn’t have been harmed.
But he hadn’t expected the old lady of the Yuan Family to have reached such madness, even bringing calamity upon Ruan Jiaojiao when he was not careful.
Even if it was just once, it was a fatal injury to the already troubled Ruan Jiaojiao.
If not for the assistance from an expert in this world, even he might have been powerless to turn back the tides, and could only bring destruction.
Thus, how could he let the old lady and Liu Ma go, even though the old lady was already dead.
Yet in this world, it’s not just the living who suffer; the dead can too.
He had lived for ten thousand years, knowing numerous secret techniques; there are thousands of ways to torture a soul, but until now, no one had made him feel it worth the effort; the old lady and Liu Ma were the first.
But these things were too dark, and Xiu Xi didn’t want Ruan Jiaojiao to know, so he glossed over them.
Ruan Jiaojiao never cared much when she was human, and even less so now; her main tasks now are drinking milk, sleeping, and growing tall!
She nestled in Xiu Xi’s arms, holding the little bottle, drinking happily, while darting her eyes at the boy beside her who seemed a bit silly.
"Brother Xi, are you alright?" The silly boy asked Xiu Xi.
"Meow." I think you have something; you look a bit silly.
