Chapter 344: She’s a Child Who Came From the Mountains. Has She Seen So Much Money?
Ruan Pengcheng frowned when he heard that.
“That’s unlikely.” Although he said that, Ruan Pengcheng’s tone was filled with uncertainty.
“How is that impossible?” Gao Fengxia stared at him with widened eyes. “I won’t mention other things. Let’s just talk about those antiques in the old couple’s hands. You can’t possibly have no idea how much they’re worth, right? She’s just a child who came back from the mountains. Has she seen that much money? Doesn’t Chi Mingwei still have a son? The little money the Chi family has won’t fall into her hands.”
Ruan Pengcheng frowned a little more. It was obvious that he was taking Gao Fengxia’s words to heart.
“No matter what, Chi Jiao’s surname isn’t Ruan. We have to be careful,” Gao Fengxia said.
Ruan Pengcheng nodded gently. “You have a point.”
“Xiaoxiao.” Gao Fengxia’s gaze suddenly landed on Ruan Xiaoxiao. “If you have nothing better to do, interact more with Chi Jiao and find out more about her. Don’t be an idiot who doesn’t know anything. Do you understand? This family’s a.s.sets can only belong to your brother in the future. You have to guard them for him.”
When Ruan Xiaoxiao heard that, a cold glint of mockery flashed across her eyes.
She lowered her head to hide the strange look in her eyes and nodded gently. “I understand.”
Gao Fengxia didn’t like Ruan Xiaoxiao’s soft appearance at all. She snorted and looked away.
“Are you feeling better?” Ruan Pengcheng suddenly asked his daughter.
Ruan Xiaoxiao had suddenly vomited blood at the dining table yesterday.
But she insisted on not going to the hospital.
No matter what, she was still his biological daughter. Ruan Pengcheng would still be worried.
“Dad, I’m fine,” Ruan Xiaoxiao said, her eyes darkening.
At the mention of this, she had to find the person who had erased her magnetic field mark as soon as possible!
That person was definitely someone familiar with Chi Jiao’s family.
For this, she had to think of a way to get close to Chi Jiao and find out more information from her end.
…
Chi Jiao stayed in the Ruan Residence until it was dark before Chi Mingwei came to pick her up.
Before leaving the house, Ruan Dechun had stuffed Chi Jiao with an ancient silver bracelet that belonged to the Qing Dynasty. Jun Wanzhi had also given her a pair of antique jade earrings from the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, these two things weren’t for Chi Jiao to wear. No one would wear antiques for no reason. They were for her to keep.
Not able to reject them, Chi Jiao had no choice but to accept them. Gao Fengxia was so angry that she almost broke her teeth with how hard she gritted them.
“Grandma, Grandpa, bye!” Chi Jiao got into the car and waved at Ruan Dechun and Jun Wanzhi, who had come to send her out.
Ruan Dechun and Jun Wanzhi looked at Chi Jiao longingly.
“Jiaojiao, you have to visit us often,” Jun Wanzhi said to her.
“Dad, Mom, it’s cold outside. Go on in. I’ll bring Jiaojiao to visit you often,” Chi Mingwei took the opportunity to tell them.
Ruan Dechun and Jun Wanzhi nodded. Because of Chi Jiao, their att.i.tude towards Chi Mingwei had changed a little.
After watching the car leave, Ruan Dechun, Jun Wanzhi, and Dongfang Linlin returned to their rooms.
On the second floor of the villa, a pair of eyes watched the black car leave.
Ruan Xuan sat on the bay window on the second floor. After reluctantly retracting his gaze, he took out his phone and skillfully dialed a number.
Very quickly, the call was picked up.
“Young Master Ruan, why did you suddenly think of calling me?” A wretched laugh came from the other end of the line. “Did something catch your eye again?”
