“It works?” Ruan Pengcheng’s eyes widened in surprise.
How was that possible?
Chi Jiao was just a high school student. How could she know such profound acupuncture?!
“Yes, it’s useful,” Jun Wanzhi said with certainty. She looked at him with furrowed brows and asked, “Do you think I would lie?”
Ruan Pengcheng shook his head and said, “Mom, that’s not what I meant.”
Of course, he wouldn’t suspect that his mother was lying, because she never lied.
He was just shocked that Chi Jiao’s acupuncture treatment was actually effective.
“Alright, the two of you. Leave..” Jun Wanzhi waved her hand impatiently at Ruan Pengcheng and Gao Fengxia. “Don’t bother me again.”
Ruan Pengcheng could tell that Jun Wanzhi was already very impatient. He didn’t dare to continue inciting her, so he could only turn around and leave.
Gao Fengxia followed behind him.
Dongfang Linlin had been standing at the bedroom door watching the show.
When Gao Fengxia pa.s.sed by her, she glanced at her again.
She rolled her eyes at her aunt without hesitation.
Gao Fengxia almost fell backward in anger, but she didn’t dare to flare up at Dongfang Linlin, so she could only grit her teeth and leave.
After Ruan Pengcheng and Gao Fengxia had left the room, Jun Wanzhi quickly went to coax Chi Jiao.
“My little Jiaojiao, you’ve suffered. Your uncle is such a scoundrel. I’ll get your grandfather to teach him a lesson later. Don’t cry.” Jun Wanzhi lowered her head to look at Chi Jiao, who was sitting on the bed, her tone incredibly gentle and kind.
Chi Jiao shook her head gently and said, “Grandma, don’t tell Grandpa about this. Uncle was doing this for your own good. That’s why he couldn’t control his temper for a moment. I’m fine.”
When Jun Wanzhi saw that Chi Jiao was still defending Ruan Pengcheng despite having suffered so much, the more she felt that Chi Jiao was incredibly sensible. It made people want to dote on her.
“That uncle of yours really doesn’t know how to act like one.” Jun Wanzhi sighed, before looking at Chi Jiao nervously. “Jiaojiao, you mustn’t be afraid of your uncle. He just has that temper.”
She didn’t want any misunderstandings to arise between Chi Jiao and Ruan Pengcheng.
Chi Jiao smiled, but her eyes were so dark that they seemed bottomless. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I won’t hate Uncle.”
Jun Wanzhi nodded and patted her hand. “What a good child.”
“Grandma, I’ll continue to ma.s.sage you,” Chi Jiao said with a smile.
“Alright. Linlin, come and help me lie down,” Jun Wanzhi called out.
Dongfang Linlin responded and walked forward.
At this moment, in the living room.
Ruan Pengcheng sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression with Gao Fengxia beside him, chattering non-stop.
“Pengcheng, why does Mom believe in Chi Jiao so much? What if Chi Jiao was just lucky this time? She’s just a child. How can she have top-notch medical skills? She’d better not treat our mom as a test subject for practice.”
“Enough. Aren’t you tired of nagging?” Ruan Pengcheng said, a little irritated.
What could he do?
If his mother wanted to protect Chi Jiao, he couldn’t openly go against her.
Ruan Xiaoxiao glanced at her mother.
She had thought that her mother would stop after being slapped in the face like that.
It seemed like she was still too young.
However, she wouldn’t say anything either. Since someone wanted to fight with Chi Jiao first, it felt good to just watch the show.
“Who do you think I’m doing this for? Aren’t I doing this for our family?” After Gao Fengxia looked around, she leaned over and whispered into Ruan Pengcheng’s ear. “Look. Chi Jiao just had to choose to come back at this specific time, not earlier nor later. Do you think she knows that our parents are preparing to split the family a.s.sets after the new year? Is that why she came back? To have a share of the loot?”
