Chapter 2236
Jiaojiao took a sip and nodded: "It’s delicious." She paused, looking at her: "Grandma, did you drink some?"
"I did, I did, you should drink more, there’s plenty at home."
Only then did Jiaojiao lower her head and drink in small sips.
The Ruanlin Family member lowered her gaze at her, eyes full of love and pain.
Recently, Jiaojiao had a fever and had already lost weight. After the incident with Lu Xian, she lost even more weight. The little girl who struggled to put on weight now had her chin looking sharp, standing at 1.68 meters but weighing less than 80 pounds, she was truly just skin and bones.
Seeing this hurt her deeply.
"Yes, yes, Jiaojiao, eat more, you’re too thin." Yu Rou chimed in. If she could, she’d give some of her own flesh to her. After all, with her body type, she could gain a pound just by drinking a mouthful of water!
Yu Rou envied Jiaojiao’s body type but also felt sorry for her.
While Jiaojiao was drinking chicken soup, Yu Rou continued talking to the Ruanlin Family member about Jiang Xun’s wedding. Yu Rou was open with the Ruan Family, never holding back from sharing secrets about her cousin, saying whatever came to mind.
The Ruanlin Family member frowned: "He was quite sensible as a child."
The Ruanlin Family member’s memories of Jiang Xun were still stuck on him being hardworking and sensible while working at the Ruan Family hotel as a child.
She couldn’t reconcile that with the Jiang Xun of today, who was getting one woman after another pregnant.
Jiaojiao said nothing.
Because she wasn’t surprised at all.
In her past life, Jiang Xun was just like that. Even if Yuan Manman, who had taken over her body, had many faults, it was still an undeniable fact that Jiang Xun got involved with Wa Yiting while engaged to her.
Thinking of her past life inevitably brought Jiaojiao’s thoughts back to Lu Xian, remembering how in her past life he was fine until the world ended... she felt down again.
At the same time, Lu Zishu was receiving a document about Lu Xian from Duan Xi. This file also included the fact that Lu Xian had his heart transplanted to Lu Meng.
His face was extremely grim, hands trembling as he held the document.
He looked up and asked Duan Xi: "You’ve known all along?"
"Yes." Duan Xi nodded.
Lu Zishu threw the document to the ground with a smack, unable to control his anger as he roared: "Why didn’t you say anything!"
Duan Xi frowned at the scattered pages, speaking with an indifferent tone: "Your brother requested it himself."
"He requested it, huh, he requested it..." Lu Zishu laughed coldly, pointing at him furiously: "He also asked you to give Jiaojiao to him, but I didn’t see you doing that?!!!!"
"You’re afraid, aren’t you, afraid my family would blame Jiaojiao for everything. Duan Xi, you’re so selfish!" Lu Zishu felt hatred, hated Duan Xi’s selfishness. He thought if Duan Xi had told them sooner, maybe they could have managed things better. After all, Jiaojiao was brought back even after death.
Even if they couldn’t save him, they would have cherished that time more, and had time for a proper farewell. His brother wouldn’t have needed to hide everything, ending up without even a proper burial, just a symbolic grave.
"Lu Zishu, if you’re having brain trouble, get it checked." Duan Xi pushed his hand aside, speaking in his usual indifferent tone.
But the more he was like this, the angrier Lu Zishu got, his words becoming harsher, though soon he ran out of words because he was knocked down by Duan Xi.
