Chapter 88
Yun Xiaoxiao walked over and whispered in her ear, so only the two of them could hear.0
"Saving you isn\'t free, of course. I need you to do something for me."0
"What is it?"0
Upon hearing that Yun Xiaoxiao wanted her help with something, Jiang Rui\'an\'s heart actually calmed down.0
This made more sense. They clearly disliked her a moment ago, so how could they suddenly want to save her?0
It was too illogical.0
If they wanted her help with something, then everything could be explained.0
"Kill Zhao Rongyan."0
"What?!"0
Jiang Rui\'an\'s eyes widened.0
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled thinly, "You heard me correctly."0
"Impossible, I can\'t do that."0
Jiang Rui\'an refused outright.0
Yun Xiaoxiao leaned close to her ear again.0
"Don\'t be so quick to refuse. You\'ll agree."0
"I won\'t..."0
"It was Zhao Rongyan who beat you up like this today, right? Oh, no, he\'s a man after all, he wouldn\'t scratch up your face like that.0
So... besides her, that woman who was with him before must have also been one of the attackers, right?"0
Seeing Jiang Rui\'an\'s trembling pupils, Yun Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows languidly.0
"So, right now you\'re the discarded one as far as Zhao Rongyan is concerned. Now that your face is disfigured, even if your internal injuries heal, your looks are ruined.0
Do you think someone of Zhao Rongyan\'s status and position would keep you by his side?"0
With each word Yun Xiaoxiao spoke, the light in Jiang Rui\'an\'s eyes dimmed a little more.0
Because she knew that every word Yun Xiaoxiao said was true.0
Even before she was disfigured, Zhao Rongyan had started fooling around with Du Wenwen, publicly snubbing her and humiliating her.0
Let alone now that she was disfigured.0
Although Du Wenwen was no longer a threat, there might be Zhang Wenwen, Li Wenwen, and so on in the future.0
There was no way she could stay by Zhao Rongyan\'s side anymore.0
His behavior just now had already proven this point.0
Seeing Jiang Rui\'an\'s changing expression, Yun Xiaoxiao continued her persuasion.0
"Moreover, as long as you kill him, I can take you away.0
From Zhao Rongyan\'s attitude towards us, you should know that we are capable of protecting you.0
If you don\'t want to stay with us, we can also send you to a safe place, give you enough supplies to last, and let you live out the rest of your days in peace."0
Yun Xiaoxiao\'s words gradually broke down Jiang Rui\'an\'s psychological defenses.0
She looked at Yun Xiaoxiao doubtfully.0
"Are you telling the truth?"0
Although she was very tempted, after all, staying with Zhao Rongyan was no longer realistic, and she couldn\'t swallow this anger.0
But to believe the words of a five-year-old child seemed equally unrealistic.0
Yun Xiaoxiao shrugged, "You don\'t have to believe me. You can just stay here, and we\'ll go our own way. We\'ll be like before, you go your way and I\'ll go mine, not interfering with each other."0
"Why do you want to kill Zhao Rongyan?"0
Jiang Rui\'an\'s voice had involuntarily lowered significantly.0
Yun Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly, "I want to kill him, so I will. Do I need a reason?"0
Jiang Rui\'an\'s heart trembled.0
She felt that the Yun Xiaoxiao before her was so unfamiliar.0
So unfamiliar that she seemed not to recognize her at all.0
Was this really her daughter?0
Thinking carefully, ever since she found out she wasn\'t her biological daughter, she had indeed stopped paying attention to her.0
Perhaps it was during that period that this little girl\'s heart began to twist.0
She gritted her teeth, "Alright, I agree. What do you want me to do?"0
A beautiful curve appeared at the corner of Yun Xiaoxiao\'s lips.0
Wasn\'t the fish now on the hook?0
Earlier, she had planned to treat Jiang Rui\'an as a stranger.0
But she didn\'t expect to meet her again.0
And this Jiang Rui\'an was still as heart-clogging as ever.0
To feel a bit better, it would be best if this person disappeared from her sight.0
But she had always been very economical.0
Following the principle of not wasting a single thread or needle, she planned to make Jiang Rui\'an\'s death somewhat valuable.0
Zhao Rongyan was someone she found distasteful no matter how she looked at him, especially the way he looked at her, which made her want to gouge out his eyes and crush them.0
His backlash ability also made her feel troubled.0
When she was upstairs earlier, she had been thinking about how to get rid of this person.0
After seeing the injured Jiang Rui\'an, she had an idea.0
This Zhao Rongyan was really a good person, actually sending the opportunity right to her doorstep.0
Wasn\'t this a perfect chance to kill two birds with one stone?0
As for the promises she made to Jiang Rui\'an, that would only matter if she lived to claim them, right?0
She hadn\'t lied, had she?0
Yun Xiaoxiao whispered into Jiang Rui\'an\'s ear, word by word.0
Jiang Rui\'an nodded continuously.0
"Mommy, are you feeling better?"0
"Yes, I\'m much better, thanks to this little brother."0
Jiang Rui\'an looked full of remorse, "I\'m sorry, Xiaoxiao. It was mommy\'s fault before. You forgave me without holding grudges, and even had your companions treat me. I\'ve really wronged you.0
Don\'t worry, I\'ll definitely treat you well from now on and be a good, responsible mother."0
"Mm, Xiaoxiao believes you~"0
When Zhao Rongyan and his group came over, what they saw was this heartwarming scene of \'maternal love and filial piety\'.0
Zhao Rongyan was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips into a smile.0
He hadn\'t guessed wrong after all!0
No little girl would truly be able to see the woman she had called mother for many years suffer such severe injuries and remain unmoved.0
"Rui\'an, are you alright?"0
Zhao Rongyan immediately walked over, showing a concerned expression.0
Jiang Rui\'an looked at him, her eyes displeased.0
"What are you doing here?"0
"Rui\'an, I acted on impulse earlier. I regretted it as soon as I left."0
"Impulse? You hurt my mommy like this, and you call it impulse?!"0
Yun Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry, her little face scrunched up.0
"I..." Zhao Rongyan lowered his head, as if truly repenting, "I really know I was wrong. Rui\'an, please give me a chance to explain, okay?"0
Jiang Rui\'an lowered her head, seemingly hesitating.0
After a long while, she finally looked up.0
"Alright, I\'ll give you a chance to explain, but I don\'t like crowds. Take me somewhere quiet, I want to hear your explanation properly!"0
"Of course, I\'ll definitely explain everything clearly to you. Oh, what about your daughter..."0
"They won\'t leave. We\'ve reconciled."0
"That\'s good." Zhao Rongyan\'s eyes were filled with a smiling light.0
He walked over, picked up Jiang Rui\'an in one swift motion, and headed towards the interior of the gym.0
"Whoa, what\'s going on? What kind of dramatic plot twist is this?"0
Zhao Rongyan\'s companions whispered among themselves, their faces full of disbelief.0
"I don\'t know, but I feel like I\'ve had enough drama for today."0
"Same here!"0
"Make that 10086 of us!"0
Meanwhile, Du Wenwen on the side narrowed her eyes and stomped her foot in annoyance.0
Why was this Jiang Rui\'an so persistent?0
No, she definitely couldn\'t let her regain power!0
Otherwise, she would be in for it.0
After how she had treated her, the other party would surely take harsh revenge on her!0
She wanted to follow them.0
But suddenly, a small figure appeared in front of her.0
"Auntie Charcoal, where are you trying to go?"0
The little girl looked at her with a smile, her face full of innocence.0
