Chapter 912: Chapter 912 Duan Family (7)
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ruan Jiaojiao was walking back, lost in a whirlwind of thoughts.
Wen Yu.
This was the first time Ruan Jiaojiao had heard this name, and she tugged at Xiu Xi beside her: "Brother Xi, is this the name of your mother in this body?"
Xiu Xi nodded; indeed, it was the name, a character embedded in his inherited memories.
"Then who was that person just now? Could it be a family member of Wen Yu coming to find us?" Ruan Jiaojiao muttered to herself suspiciously.
However, in the memories she had taken on, from beginning to end, there was never a mention of a person surnamed Wen coming to find the little antagonist. Otherwise, the little antagonist’s life wouldn’t have been so miserable, resulting in a twisted personality.
Nonetheless, this life had already changed, and these twists of fate were not impossible.
Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but start worrying. Surely the silly wolf wouldn’t be taken away by Wen Yu’s family, right?
Thinking of this, Ruan Jiaojiao’s brows furrowed. Xiu Xi, as if guessing what she was thinking, passed the bag of snacks to the plump dog to carry and reached out to rub her brow, soothing her: "I won’t leave, never, don’t be afraid."
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, but she was still a bit worried; after all, this body belonged to someone else and legally had other guardians in this world. If they decided to take it back, they would not be able to resist.
Once back home, Ruan Jiaojiao went to find the Ruanlin Family matriarch, who was cooking in the kitchen, and asked: "Granny, do you still remember Brother Xi’s mom?"
"Xiaoxi’s mom?" The Ruanlin Family matriarch was picking vegetables and paused upon hearing this; "Why does Jiaojiao ask about her?" She turned her head to look at Xiu Xi following behind Ruan Jiaojiao: "Does Xiaoxi want to know?"
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded vigorously: "Granny, please tell us."
"Alright, I will tell you, just wait for Granny to finish cooking," said the Ruanlin Family matriarch.
After she cooked a pot of rice with the pressure cooker and wiped her hands with her apron, the Ruanlin Family matriarch walked into the living room and earnestly recalled: "Xiaoxi’s mom came to the village a few years after your mom, and like your mom, she was very beautiful. Within a month of arriving in the countryside, she married his dad. Speaking of which... Xiaoxi was a preemie, born at eight months."
"Right, his mom’s name was also pretty, Wen Yu. It’s just a pity that she married a..." The Ruanlin Family matriarch sighed heavily as she spoke.
Although Wen Yu gave birth to Xiu Xi prematurely, her health wasn’t severely affected. She was wealthy herself, and every now and then she would nourish herself; logically, she shouldn’t have had difficulty giving birth to her second child.
But she did have a difficult labor, and later that same year Xiu Jianlin remarried Liu Mei and had Xiu Cheng. If one were to calculate based on the marriage date, Xiu Cheng would be at most six or seven months old, yet he appeared to have been a full-term baby, and didn’t show any signs of weakness.
Everyone in the village knew about the scandal, yet it was never publicly dissected. Moreover, at that time Wen Yu was alone without anyone to rely on, so nobody would do anything for such a helpless orphaned girl.
But everyone had their own sense of judgment; right and wrong, everyone had an idea.
"Why did you suddenly ask about this today?" The Ruanlin Family matriarch looked at them with surprise.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t hide anything and relayed what Duan Shaowei had done earlier. The Ruanlin Family matriarch’s brows immediately furrowed: "Could it be that buying the car was a sham, and he’s been targeting Xiaoxi all along?"
"Granny, do you think his mom’s family will come looking? If they want to take Brother Xi away, what will we do?" The thought alone made Ruan Jiaojiao anxious; she had never considered the possibility of the silly wolf leaving her one day.
