The Ruanlin Family matriarch could hardly stand on her legs, instead crawling all the way there, her body trembling violently as if in the grip of an epileptic seizure, entirely beyond her control.
Looking at Ruan Jiaojiao lying in a pool of blood, she raised her hands, her eyes wide, completely at a loss for what to do.
"Jiaojiao…" she called out with a trembling voice, her hand shaking so badly that when it touched Ruan Jiaojiao's warm, fresh blood, she let out a sky-shattering wail, "My Jiaojiao, oh my heavens..."
"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao." Shu Jiao stumbled midway through, she took off her slightly heeled shoes and rushed forward, completely disregarding her appearance, lifting Ruan Jiaojiao from the ground, "Don't scare Mommy, Jiaojiao... Jiaojiao..."
"You jinx, it's all because of you, it's all your fault, why did you come back?!" The Ruanlin Family matriarch wailed, snatching Ruan Jiaojiao from her arms, her gaze at Shu Jiao as if she wanted to devour her alive.
