Chapter 2033: Chapter 2033: Falling Out (4)
This kid is not only protective but also irrationally biased. If this were someone else’s family, she’d probably be reprimanded, but not in the Ruan Family. As long as it involves Ruan Jiaojiao, nothing makes sense, not even Shu Jiao has anything to say against it.
However, she was a bit more understanding, looking at Jiaojiao, waiting for her to explain. freēwebnovel.com
Even though Jiaojiao wasn’t regretful, facing the trusting looks from everyone, she felt a bit guilty.
Today’s incident, she did somewhat exploit the situation.
The relationship between Ruan Lei and Yang Tao already had problems, which weren’t caused by Hong Ling’s actions today. But because she disliked her, no matter what Hong Ling did, she wouldn’t like it.
Moreover, this matter was indeed hard to explain. Although the relationship between Yang Tao and Ruan Lei was known to the Ruan Family, Jiaojiao felt it wasn’t quite fitting to bring up what happened today openly.
She thought for a bit, and since she wasn’t afraid of being misunderstood, she simply decided to be spoiled, turning to cling to Ruanlin’s arm like a willful little girl, pouting and saying, "It has nothing to do with others; it’s just a little conflict with Hong Ling. I don’t like her, and I won’t play with her anymore!"
"You child." Ruanlin patted the little head nuzzling against her arm indulgently and shook her head with a helpless smile, without saying any words of reproach.
The others hearing this, also smiled helplessly, dismissing it as a minor childish spat and not taking it seriously.
Besides, even if there were disagreements, in the eyes of the Ruan Family, they truly did not believe that Jiaojiao was the type to bully others. In their eyes, Jiaojiao had been well-behaved and made them feel sorry for her since she was young.
On the other side, Mrs. Hong had just finished complaining to her husband about Hong Ping being unreasonable, and when the topic turned to Ruan Hao, they saw Hong Ling suddenly running back in from outside.
Covered in tears, she said nothing, just flung herself onto the bed and started crying loudly.
The Hong couple was startled. Mrs. Hong, quickly realizing the situation, hurried over to the bedside and asked, "Lingling, what happened? Why are you crying?"
Hong Ling buried her head in her arms, sobbing without a word.
Mrs. Hong grew anxious. In her eyes, her youngest daughter was also very well-behaved since childhood, and now suddenly coming back crying must mean she was bullied badly!
The couple, filled with heartache, gathered around the bed, asking questions.
But Hong Ling just cried, answering nothing.
Mrs. Hong recalled that her daughter had just gone shopping and was heading to the dance hall, connecting it with the number of men there. She suddenly changed her expression, scared by her own thought, and asked with trembling lips, "Lingling, you weren’t bullied at the dance hall..."
"Mom!" Hong Ling lifted her head, exclaiming, "What are you talking about?"
Seeing Hong Ling immediately deny it, Mrs. Hong breathed a sigh of relief, climbed onto the bed to sit beside her, and patiently asked, "Then why are you crying?"
Hong Ling bit her lip in grievance, saying nothing.
Mrs. Hong could only guess, "Did you have a conflict with the Ruan Family?"
Hong Ling still didn’t answer, only made a small gesture, pursing her lips, and lightly fluttering her eyelids. Mrs. Hong was very familiar with these little movements.
In the past, when the two sisters had a small tiff and didn’t want to talk about it, she could only guess blindly.
