Facing Xiu Xi’s cold and all-knowing eyes, Xin Miao felt guilty, but her intuition told her that this person in front of her could definitely help her. It was also him who picked up Jiaojiao yesterday, and today it was him again.
Her intuition told her that she absolutely couldn’t let this person leave.
“Last time, it was me who called you to pick her up. Did she tell you?” she asked.
“So?” Ruan Hao, at the side, smiled. He was gentle and elegant, and anyone looking at him would think he was easy to deal with. At least, that’s what Xin Miao thought at the moment.
She looked at him and asked, “Who are you?”
“Jiaojiao’s brother.”
“Brother?” Xin Miao was stunned for a moment, then immediately denied, “I’ve met her brother, and it’s not you.”
In her memory, Ruan Jie was tall and dark. Although not as handsome as the man in front of her, the face he had was the one who saved her from the icy pool water, and when swimming to the shore, he gently comforted her, telling her not to be afraid.
Over the years, that face had faded in her memory, but she would never mistake what he looked like.
“The one you’re talking about is my second brother. I am Jiaojiao’s eldest brother. Here is my business card. If you need any rewards, you can call this number, but…” At this point, Ruan Hao maintained his elegant demeanor, and his voice didn’t change, but the words that followed made Xin Miao shiver even after they had left.
“Don’t disturb my sister.” That’s the last thing he said to her.
Xin Miao stood in the empty hospital corridor. Although it wasn’t even autumn yet, she felt ice-cold all over.
Meanwhile, on the way back, Ruan Jiaojiao was still not awake. Ruan Hao was driving, and Xiu Xi sat in the passenger seat.
Ruan Hao had returned to being the gentle brother Jiaojiao was familiar with and said to Xiu Xi, “Xiaoxi, when looking at people, look at their eyes. Did you see anything from that girl’s eyes just now?”
Xiu Xi, stroking Jiaojiao’s soft little body, nodded.
“Greed, jealousy.” That’s what he saw in Xin Miao’s eyes.
“Greed and jealousy are human nature, everyone has them, but remember, if these instincts overshadow one’s conscience, that person is no longer worth getting close to,” Ruan Hao said with meaning.
Xiu Xi looked at him and nodded.
Ruan Hao didn’t know why Xin Miao would be jealous of Ruan Jiaojiao, but no matter the reason, as long as her greed and jealousy might harm Jiaojiao, he wouldn’t allow her to get close to his sister.
This time, Ruan Jiaojiao woke up directly the next morning.
Regarding yesterday’s out-of-body experience, she basically forgot everything when she returned to her body, but there was a consciousness in her mind that made her feel like she had forgotten something.
Xiu Xi remembered her talking about something last night, so when he saw her awake, he said, “Yesterday, you asked me to remind you to give the master’s contact to Xin Miao.”
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jiaojiao was taken aback, then clapped her little paw on her forehead! She felt a sudden sense of clarity.
She knew it! She had always felt like she was forgetting something, and it turned out to be this!
To avoid being too abrupt, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t let her family directly tell the Xin family. Instead, she asked a delivery person to send the master’s contact information to the Xin family. There was nothing extra on it, except for the master’s current address, and just one sentence: “This person might be of help to Ling Yuan.”
