As Ruan Jiaojiao’s voice fell, the girl holding onto Ruan Wei’s waist tightly also shouted, "Yes, my mom is Liao Zhaoji, this is my brother, my real brother!"

Liao Zhaoji’s daughter, Yaya?

Everyone was a bit surprised by the sudden appearance of this little girl, unexpected yet somewhat expected.

Ruan Wei met everyone’s gaze, inexplicably feeling guilty, not daring to meet the eyes of the Ruanlin Family.

Ever since learning this was Liao Zhaoji’s daughter, the Ruanlin Family’s brows remained furrowed, as any matter involving Liao Zhaoji would always inexplicably stir disgust and impatience within them.

Hong Ping had some understanding of Ruan Jun’s past, and upon seeing this, quickly walked to his side and held his hand.

Ruan Jun had been watching Yaya; when she held his hand, he snapped back to reality, turned to meet her concerned gaze, and offered a reassuring smile, indicating he was alright.

He truly was alright.

Many years had passed, and the wounds inflicted by Liao Zhaoji had long faded away with the support of his family over the years.

Yet seeing this yaya inevitably stirred different emotions within him.

At this moment.

No one spoke, all processing this unexpected turn of events.

Finally, it was Shu Jiao who broke the silence: "Ruan Jianguo, you go ahead and take them inside to continue cleaning."

Ruan Jianguo nodded, after all, it was the affairs of the second house, so he called the others to enter the yard and continue cleaning. Ruan Jiandang thought for a moment, then pulled Liu Qingyun into the yard. Ruan Jiaojiao was a bit concerned and wanted to stay, but was also pulled inside by Shu Jiao, leaving only Ruan Jun, Ruan Wei, and the Ruanlin Family outside.

"When will you ever learn," Shu Jiao lightly poked Ruan Jiaojiao’s forehead as they headed back to the yard.

Ruan Jiaojiao grinned, knowing she was referring to the time she was blamed by Ruan Wei for meddling in Liao Zhaoji’s affairs. She sheepishly smiled and held onto her arm, acting coy: "I couldn’t help it."

Shu Jiao shook her head helplessly, saying nothing more, knowing her daughter all too well, truly Ruan Jianguo’s child!

Ruan Jiaojiao smiled appeasingly, watched Shu Jiao go to talk to Shu Wen, then stopped smiling, puffed her cheeks, and Duan Xi kindly pulled her in front, touching her forehead reddened by Shu Jiao’s poke: "Does it hurt?"

Ruan Jiaojiao casually rubbed it: "No, it doesn’t hurt at all."

Shu Jiao cherished her, couldn’t bear to truly harm her, it’s just her skin is too fair and delicate, especially in summer, that a poke would leave a red mark.

Ruan Jiaojiao learned her lesson, no longer ran outside, obediently followed the others to tidy up, but before she did much, several brothers found her a hindrance and pushed her to rest under the big tree.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere outside the courtyard fence was rather heavy.

The Ruanlin Family stared at Yaya, surveying her from top to bottom.

When the Ruanlin Family wasn’t smiling, they appeared somewhat fierce. Yaya felt uneasy under their scrutiny, but her upbringing made her fearless, instead, she shouted at the Ruanlin Family: "I know you, you’re the old witch of the Ruan Family, you, and that whore just now that everyone rides over, neither of you will die a good death, even King Yama won’t take you, you..."

Liao Zhaoji hated the Ruan Family, especially the Ruanlin Family and Ruan Jiaojiao, truly hated them to the core.
