Looking at Maodou’s sincere but reluctant expression, Ruan Su couldn’t resist anymore. She reached out and wanted to touch his little curly hair, but her hand didn’t touch his hair and instead landed on his shoulder.
“You don’t have to, this is your mother’s ring. You should keep it well. It will be better to give it to the girl you like in the future,” she said.
Maodou was actually reluctant to part with the ring.
He didn’t know the value of the diamond ring, but he knew it was something his father had given to his mother and felt a bit attached to it.
“What about you?” Maodou asked. “You don’t have a ring, and that vine will laugh at you. I hate her very much. Luckily, she didn’t become my aunt!”
Ruan Su thought for a moment, put down her shopping bag, and took out a silver ring from a compartment in her bag. She showed it to Maodou carefully, “Look, I also have a ring.”
This silver ring was given to her by her adoptive mother.
It wasn’t worth much, but it was her adoptive mother’s most cherished ring.
Her adoptive mother was not Ruan Man’s biological mother. Shortly after Ruan Su was born, Ruan Man’s biological parents thought Ruan Su was a daughter, but they wanted a son, so they left Ruan Su at the hospital, and the hospital staff gave her to her adoptive mother. Her adoptive mother couldn’t have children and her relatives wanted to find a child for her to take care of her in her old age. Unfortunately, Ruan Su’s adoptive mother died of illness shortly after Ruan Su’s tenth birthday, and did not enjoy a peaceful retirement.
“Who gave you the ring?” Maodou asked curiously again. “Is it your mother too?”
Ruan Su nodded and said, “My mother gave it to me.”
Maodou sighed and said, “I heard that Grandma Ruan is biased, and it’s true. Look at this ring she gave you, it’s not even pretty.”
Ruan Su smiled but didn’t correct Maodou’s words.
“Although it’s not that pretty, I really like it.”
Maodou looked at his Aunt and felt that she was even more pitiful than himself. He couldn’t help but sigh. Then he remembered something and his eyes lit up. He grabbed Ruan Su’s sleeve and promised, “Don’t worry, my Uncle is very powerful. When he wakes up, he will buy you the biggest and most beautiful ring. Then that vine will be so jealous.”
Like Mother Ji, Maodou firmly believed that his Uncle would wake up soon. It was just a matter of time.
Ruan Su smiled, “Okay.”
The two of them happily returned home. When Mother Ji saw Maodou holding a remote-controlled car, she moved her lips but didn’t say anything.
At noon, Ruan Su went into the kitchen. The range hood wasn’t working very well, and with the smell of oil and smoke, the fragrance soon drifted into the living room and into Mother Ji and Maodou’s noses.
Ruan Su preferred to cook for herself, although it was more trouble than ordering takeout. However, it was still more cost-effective. For example, this lunch would cost at least over a hundred yuan if she ordered takeout. But by cooking it herself, it only cost her around seventy to eighty yuan, and she could eat two meals out of it. It was so much better.
Maodou and Mother Ji looked at the food on the table and became even hungrier.
There were Coca-Cola chicken wings, steamed sea bass, blanched shrimp, and a mushroom soup that was full of color, fragrance, and flavor.
All three of them enjoyed the meal very much.
In the afternoon, Ruan Su returned to the room and turned Ji Mingchong over to massage him. The most important thing in taking care of a vegetative person is to prevent bedsores. Following the doctor’s advice, she guided him through a series of exercises that made her sweat. After all, even though Ji Mingchong had lost a lot of weight, he was still a tall man over six feet. The doctor also said that she should talk to him more often. Ruan Su looked at Ji Mingchong like this and didn’t know what to say to him.
She didn’t really believe that he could hear her.
But at this moment, he seemed to have become a good tree hole.
Thinking of what Maodou had said today, Ruan Su couldn’t help but speak softly.
As she massaged him, she said, “I’m going back home tomorrow[1]. I don’t really want to go back to that home. I can even imagine what will happen after I go back. But if I don’t go back, it doesn’t seem right either. After all, in the eyes of others, that place is my natal home. People always have to do things they don’t want to do…Sometimes I think, maybe if I didn’t come back to the Ruan’s, you would receive better care than now. Because my parents like Ruan Man more, they will definitely help her.”
Everything is difficult at the beginning. At first, when talking to Ji Mingchong, she was a little uncomfortable, but as she spoke more, she became accustomed to it.
She spoke softly, but he didn’t respond.
However, the room was still extremely warm, and even the sun-drenched blankets had a pleasant smell.
Unlike the current Ji’s house, the living room of the Ruan’s house was bright and luxurious everywhere. With the downfall of the Ji family, the dream of the Ruan family to join forces also fell apart. The Ruan family was affected, and their company was also going downhill. However, it was still better than the Ji family, and their company was still operating normally, although their annual profit was not as impressive as before.
Ruan Man saw that both Father Ruan and Mother Ruan were distracted and couldn’t help but curl her lips.
She had been with this family for two lifetimes, and now she knew what they were thinking even without them saying anything. Father Ruan must be worried about the company, while Mother Ruan was worried about tomorrow.
Tomorrow, Ruan Su was going back to Ruan’s house, and the current Ruan Su had become a joke.
She was still young and beautiful, but now she was married to a vegetative patient. Mother Ruan still had a little bit of pain for her biological daughter, and her feelings towards Ruan Su were very conflicted. Although Ruan Su was a piece of flesh that had fallen off her body, Ruan Su hadn’t grown up with her. The mother and daughter both felt that they were strangers to each other. They knew they were mother and daughter, and their consciousness told them to love and care for each other, but their bodies rejected this stranger.
Now that Ruan Su had married Ji Mingchong, Mother Ruan was just imagining her daughter’s situation, and the meager affection was magnified.
She was worried about Ruan Su, but also afraid to see her.
Ruan Man couldn’t bear to watch Mother Ruan in such distress and spoke up to comfort her, “Mom, are you worried about Susu? You don’t have to be. She voluntarily accepted this engagement, and you know better than anyone about Mrs. Ji’s character, don’t you?”
Mother Ruan’s spirits were lifted when she heard this, “Yes, you’re right. Mrs. Ji loves collecting jewelry and wouldn’t overlook her own safety. She must have left herself a way out!”
Many people thought the same way, and Ruan Man used to think the same way too, or more accurately, she did in her past life.
In her past life, Ruan Su never appeared. Ruan Man had always liked Ji Mingchong since she was young, but they were several years apart in age. When she was in China, he was abroad, and when he returned to China, she went abroad. Later, encouraged by her, her parents considered a marriage alliance with the Ji family. At that time, it was an ambitious move, and Father Ruan had to work hard to make it happen. She was thrilled not only to become Ji Mingchong’s fiancée, but also to be one step closer to the position of Young Madam Ji.
But not long after, Ji Mingchong had an accident. She thought he would wake up, but he never did. She waited and waited until Father Ji died, and the family went bankrupt. Ji Mingchong still didn’t wake up. By then, she had become a bit disheartened, and her determination to marry Ji Mingchong had waned. But Father Ruan would not allow anyone to accuse him of ingratitude and forced her to marry Ji Mingchong. At that time, she heard that Mrs. Ji still had some money and a precious box of jewelry, so she gritted her teeth and went to the Ji family.
Who would have thought that Mrs. Ji didn’t have anything at all. She secretly searched the house and only found less than 100,000 yuan in savings.
Mrs. Ji obviously used to have so many jade bracelets, any one of which was worth tens of millions!
Mrs. Ji treated her badly, always speaking coldly. Ruan Man relied on Ruan’s family to maintain her ordinary life in the Ji family. It was a joke to anyone who heard it.
Even that little kid from the Ji family, he ignored her, never called her “Aunt”.
The grandmother and grandson treated her as if she was invisible. Later, when Mrs. Ji asked her to leave, she refused. She had gained nothing, so how could she leave? This stagnation lasted for several years. Eventually, she couldn’t stand this kind of life and became the mistress of a married man. Before she could even think of ways to become pregnant and secure her position, she was killed by that man’s wife’s scheme.
Even at the time of her death, Ji Mingchong never woke up, and she never saw Mrs. Ji’s jewelry.
Perhaps the heavens thought she was too pitiful. She was unexpectedly reborn, so she no longer kept the secret from her past life that she knew. She found a way to let Father and Mother Ruan know that she was not their biological daughter. Later, Father and Mother Ruan found Ruan Su. Ruan Man immediately pushed the engagement Ruan Su. No one knew that yesterday, she was so happy. She finally changed her destiny!
In this life, she is determined not to jump into the fire pit of the Ji family again.
As for Ruan Su, that is not her concern. She had already suffered through Ruan Su’s miserable life in her past life. Ruan Su owed her, and now Ruan Su has to pay it back!
Thinking of her return home in her past life, she returned alone. Mrs. Ji didn’t show any expression, nor did she care.
Ruan Su will return home tomorrow, and she will definitely be alone.
Ruan Man looked at Mother Ruan’s face and naturally thought of Ruan Su’s even more beautiful face.
She didn’t know how Ruan Su was doing in her past life, but Ruan Su must have had a better life than her. With a face like that, as long as Ruan Su managed it well, her life would definitely be comfortable.
Of course, that was in her past life. In this life, no matter how beautiful Ruan Su is, Ruan Su will be ground down by Mrs. Ji’s evil temper.
Thinking this way, Ruan Man’s smile became even more gentle as she continued to comfort Mother Ruan, “Who says not? Susu’s life will definitely be better. Don’t worry.”
