The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

Chapter 2027: Chapter 2027: Yaya (4)

It was around that time she learned that Liao Zhaoji had died a year ago, succumbing to a serious illness that took her swiftly. Yet, while alive, she would often talk to Yaya about her three brothers, praising their accomplishments.

Yaya was young then, but being repeatedly told day and night, it gradually imprinted on her heart.

After Liao Zhaoji’s death, the last bit of money in the family was squandered, leaving her and her father as beggars, begging during the day and sleeping at night in a dilapidated house which let in both wind and rain, all the while constantly inquiring about news of her three brothers.

However, the Ruan Family had long since moved to the city, making her inquiries difficult, leaving no traces until later when Ruan Wei returned to Xiahe Village, enabling her to find him—by then, she and her father had been begging for half a year.

Initially, naturally, Ruan Wei did not want to deal with her.

Yet back then when Liao Zhaoji caused a fuss, he was young; with the passage of time, certain matters fade slowly, so his hatred for Liao Zhaoji was far lesser compared to Ruan Jun and Ruan Chi.

Moreover, it was chiefly due to his personality: his indecisiveness destined him to turn a blind eye to Yaya, who persistently chased after him.

Thus, he gradually started aiding her, from a steamed bun to a meal, eventually giving her almost half of his living expenses.

Even last year, when he went to Beidu for university, he would still pinch some from his living expenses to send to her and her father.

This life continued for almost two years.

Ruan Wei thought he had kept it secret for two years; by being cautious, he believed it would escape the family’s notice. Who would have guessed that Yaya somehow found out about Ruan Jun’s wedding and came to seek him, begging him to take her to meet her other two brothers.

Naturally, Ruan Wei dared not, reprimanding her harshly, hurriedly driving her away, but giving her some money. Yet, Yaya wouldn’t leave even with the money, followed him out, leading to the scene witnessed earlier.

Because in Yaya’s world, filled with the beliefs Liao Zhaoji instilled, Ruan Jiaojiao was akin to the wicked princess from fairy tales, not only causing her family’s ruin but also stealing her three brothers. She was a bringer of misfortune, a wretched girl meant for a bad end.

On the sickbed, dazed and whimsical, Liao Zhaoji cursed everyone, but her curses directed towards Ruan Jiaojiao were the most frequent.

She believed that her divorce, her subsequent sale, living particularly worse than death, all stemmed from seeds planted by Ruan Jiaojiao in the past; even at death, she wished to thoroughly destroy her. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Through constant exposure and influence, Yaya developed deep-seated hatred for Ruan Jiaojiao, her every gaze filled with bitter animosity.

After hearing Ruan Wei’s account, Ruan Chi said nothing; upon learning that Liao Zhaoji had died three years ago, his gaze altered slightly yet promptly returned to calm.

Some things have passed, but that doesn’t mean the pain has also passed.

Ruan Chi would forever remember the pain Liao Zhaoji inflicted upon him, something never to be forgotten.

Thus towards Yaya before him, even knowing her current plight, begging with her father, he felt no sympathy, even irritated by her presence.

He remained silent for a while.

Ruan Wei, already insecure, felt even more anxious seeing him like this.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ruan Chi lift his head, looking at him and saying, "Ruan Wei, you’re already eighteen, an adult now. Whatever you want to do or must do, you can decide for yourself..."
