Jun Wanzhi glanced at Chi Jiao. The young lady’s expression was clearly aggrieved, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. However, she still spoke for Ruan Pengcheng. Her heart immediately felt like it was being pierced by needles.
“Jiaojiao, don’t be afraid. Grandma is here. No one will date to behave atrociously,” Jun Wanzhi said as she patted Chi Jiao’s hand.
Then, her gaze landed on the confused Ruan Pengcheng. “This is Jiaojiao’s first time here to visit your father and me. If you scare her and she doesn’t come again, I won’t let you off.”
“Mom!” Ruan Pengcheng looked at his mother in disbelief.
Wasn’t the reason he came back so hurriedly because he was worried about her?
Why was it his fault now?
Also, was that young lady made of paper?
Why would his slightly louder voice scare her?
When Gao Fengxia saw that things were going wrong, she hurriedly said to Jun Wanzhi with a smile, “Mom, Pengcheng is just worried about you, that’s why he rushed back.”
“Who asked you to call him?” It was fine if Gao Fengxia didn’t say anything. But the moment she did, she attracted Jun Wanzhi’s attention. She looked at her with a stern face and continued to say coldly, “You all thought that Jiaojiao would harm me, but she’s a good child. I won’t allow you to malign her!”
“Mom! This isn’t about maligning her at all. Chi Jiao is just a high school student. She doesn’t even have a medical license. How can she treat you?” Ruan Pengcheng said in a furious tone, and he didn’t forget to glare at Chi Jiao with a dark gaze.
His gaze seemed to be accusing her of being so insensible.
When Chi Jiao met Ruan Pengcheng’s eyes, her eyes turned red instantly. She seemed to be very afraid as she lowered her head.
However, her lips curled up slightly.
Medical license? She had already obtained it two years ago.
She reached out and gently tugged at Jun Wanzhi’s sleeve. She whispered, “Grandma, I… I was doing this for your own good. Don’t fight with Uncle. He’s also doing this for your own good…”
The girl’s soft and sweet voice was tinged with a sobbing tone as if she could cry at any time.
Jun Wanzhi looked at Chi Jiao. The girl in front of her seemed as if she had something wrong as she lowered her head. Her frail shoulders trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she was enduring her emotions. She looked extremely weak and helpless.
In an instant, the anger in her heart erupted like a volcano again.
“Ruan Pengcheng! Look at what you’ve done. You scared your niece to tears!” If Jun Wanzhi could move freely now, she would definitely beat her son.
Ruan Pengcheng’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He didn’t know what to say.
“Jiaojiao, your uncle didn’t flare up on purpose. He was just too anxious. You mustn’t take it to heart,” Gao Fengxia said as she stared fixedly at Chi Jiao.
Her gaze was so sharp that she wished she could burn a hole through Chi Jiao.
She had a nagging feeling that Chi Jiao was acting right now.
But there was no evidence!
Chi Jiao looked up at her with red eyes. “Grandma, don’t be angry. It’s not good for your health.”
Looking at her trying her best to hold back her tears, Jun Wanzhi couldn’t help but think of Chi Jiao’s mother.
If Xiaoyi saw her daughter being wronged like this, her heart would definitely ache.
With that thought in mind, Jun Wanzhi’s dissatisfaction with Ruan Pengcheng deepened.
“When Jiaojiao performed acupuncture on me, I was truly feeling better. At the very least, my legs don’t hurt as much anymore, which proves that her treatment is useful.” Jun Wanzhi tried her best to control her temper, not wanting to scare Chi Jiao further. “Ruan Pengcheng, get out right now.”
