Chapter 2374

Chapter 2374: Chapter 2374

Because Ruan Jun and Ruan Chi have already entered the workforce, only Ruan Wei is still in college.

Ruan Jun is now Ruan Hao’s most capable assistant. Excluding his salary, his year-end bonus alone reaches six figures, and although he didn’t buy a marital home when he got married, he now owns a large house in Beidu.

As for Ruan Chi, there’s no need to mention him. His law firm is now quite renowned in Beidu. He specializes in economic cases, and even a small case earns him a commission in the five to six-figure range. He has houses and cars all taken care of, and the living expenses he gives Ruan Wei monthly are more than enough for him to live well.

Ruan Jiaojiao truly can’t figure out why he still needs to borrow money from her now.

Of course, if he really needs money, Ruan Jiaojiao certainly would lend it, whether it gets paid back or not is not a concern. It’s just that she finds his evasive behavior quite suspicious.

A possibility couldn’t help but pop into her mind, and she stared at Ruan Wei: "Brother Wei, are you secretly sending money to Yaya again?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Wei immediately shook his head vigorously, waving his hands: "No, no, I’m not sending her money. It’s just that I... I have to go back to Yuansu the day after tomorrow."

"Go back? What for? Brother Jun doesn’t work in Yuansu anymore, and we’re about to start the new semester." Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him skeptically.

Ruan Jun was transferred to Beidu last year, and the entire family had moved to Beidu, leaving no one in Yuansu. She didn’t know why Ruan Wei needed to go back.

"I must go back." Ruan Wei felt somewhat guilty and didn’t dare to look at Ruan Jiaojiao’s face.

Seeing how hesitant he was, Ruan Jiaojiao got a bit annoyed: "Brother Wei, is there anything we can’t talk about? Why exactly do you need the money? If you keep avoiding the question, I’m going to get angry."

Hearing Ruan Jiaojiao say she would get upset, Ruan Wei could no longer keep it a secret and immediately said: "Yaya’s father passed away yesterday. She called me last night, saying she doesn’t want to go to the welfare home..."

As Ruan Wei spoke, he noticed the smile gradually disappearing from Ruan Jiaojiao’s eyes, and his voice grew softer while his head lowered more and more.

"What does Brother Wei want to do?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked, her brows furrowed.

Ruan Wei pressed his lips together and didn’t respond. In truth, he didn’t know either. He planned to go back to Yuansu first to assess the situation before making any decisions.

He didn’t have much emotional attachment to Yaya. If he felt a bit of sympathy for her initially, the incidents that occurred during Ruan Jun’s wedding extinguished it entirely.

Over the years, he barely paid attention to her, and Ruan Chi repeatedly warned him not to get involved in this matter.

He didn’t know where she got his contact information from, but now he knows about her father’s death. She’s just a teenage girl, and if he really does nothing, he feels he can’t live with himself.

Especially since she found his contact information and made her situation known to him, he really can’t ignore it, so he decided to go back once.

"Do Brother Jun and Brother Chi know about this?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked again, seeing his silence.

Ruan Wei shook his head.

"Then you should probably discuss this matter with Brother Jun and Brother Chi first." Ruan Jiaojiao said.

She knew Ruan Wei’s nature. Since childhood, he wasn’t as clever as their other brothers and inherited Uncle Ruan’s indecisiveness. Though Yaya is young, growing up under Liao Zhaoji’s shadow has led her astray when they last met.
