Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Deciding to Get Some Fresh Air_1
“Grandpa, I want to go back to where I live. I won’t abort this baby, but I don’t want to have anything to do with the Ruan Family anymore.”
Ruan Anguo sighed, “Grandpa knows what you’re thinking, but we can’t be worried about not being able to take care of you. If you stay here, nobody will disturb you. Moreover, if you go out alone and something happens, there won’t be anyone to help you. Let’s not talk about moving out anymore. You just live here peacefully. If there’s any grievance, just tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will make the decision for you.”
“Grandpa, I just want to live a quiet life.” Jian Yufei said casually.
Ruan Anguo mentally sighed for her. Child, from the day you married into the Ruan Family, your life was destined not to be quiet.
He didn’t agree with her proposal and stood up to leave, “I’m going, if you need anything, just find me.”
Jian Yufei bent her head, not seeing him off.
His words were always kind towards her, making him seem like a very reasonable person.
But she understood that once he held steadfast to an idea, no matter what she said, he would not be swayed.
Back then, when she wanted to divorce Tianling, he had always disagreed. If she hadn’t resorted to drastic measures to oppose him, he wouldn’t have compromised.
Such defiance would not work a second time. On the contrary, it might backfire.
Despite the kindness he showed her, his grandson, Tianling, was always his priority and whatever he did was in the interest of the Ruan Family.
She didn’t dare provoke him, lest she frustrate him.
Her fear was that should he grow tired of her, he wouldn’t take her side in a legal fight with Tianling over their baby.
She was powerless and without a powerful backing. She had no one to support her. In such a state, she was totally incapable of contending with the mighty Ruan Family.
She should be thankful that Grandpa was still decent to her.
If there came a day when even Grandpa stopped considering her, then she would indeed become a sacrificial lamb.
Jian Yufei lifted her head, her eyes shimmering deeply.
The once naive her was like a blank piece of paper, thinking the world was pure as an ivory tower.
However, unwittingly, she was exposed to many things she had never encountered before. With each hurt, she evolved from initially feeling wronged and sad to what she was now: indifferent and patient.
In fact, she even began to calculate around her kindest Grandpa.
Even though her calculation was inconsequential, she knew she was no longer that naive girl. She was afraid that as she continued, she could no longer recognize herself…
In the next few days, Jian Yufei didn’t go out, and Tianling didn’t visit her either. However, Aunt Li would report to him about her daily, so he was always aware of Jian’s condition.
After a few boring days, today’s sunshine was brilliant. Jian Yufei decided to go out for some fresh air.
She put on a loose white down jacket, a newly-bought black knit hat, a large black bag, and then headed out.
Naturally, wherever she went Aunt Li was to follow.
Aunt Li wanted to help carry her bag, but Jian refused, saying it was empty and she could hold it by herself. Aunt Li didn’t insist after hearing this.
Each time she went out, she would either go to a shopping mall. Today, Jian Yufei browsed around and planned to go to the cinema on the top floor.
Watching a movie was the best pastime and given that she was unable to do anything else at the moment, no one would suspect her.
“Aunt Li, I’ll go buy the tickets, can you buy some popcorn for me?”
“Sure.” Aunt Li turned around to buy the popcorn.
