"Ah!!" Ruan Jiaojiao let out a piercing scream, startling the Ruan Family who were dining outside. Almost simultaneously, members of the Ruanlin Family and Xiu Xi dropped their bowls and rushed over, followed closely by everyone else.
"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao!" the Ruanlin Family's matriarch scooped up Ruan Jiaojiao, frantically patting her small face.
Ruan Jiaojiao opened her eyes in horror, staring unblinkingly at the person before her, as if she did not recognize her.
Her appearance terrified the Ruan Family, and the matriarch of the Ruanlin Family was beside herself with worry.
But as Ruan Jiaojiao continued to stare, it was as if she suddenly came back to her senses, and tears uncontrollably sprayed out as she burst into tears, crying out, "Nanny! I'm scared! I'm so scared..."
Holding the trembling, sweat-drenched, sobbing Ruan Jiaojiao in her arms, the Ruanlin Family's matriarch's heart truly shattered.
