Madam Ji looked at him with obvious trust and patted his shoulder gently with a smile.
"Okay, a good child is one who can admit their mistakes and correct them."
Ruan Jian nodded repeatedly, while Ruan Xu looked deeply moved: "Cousin, thank you for your magnanimity. I promise you, if that brat dares to do it again, I will definitely break his hand!"
"It's not that serious." Madam Ji waved her hand, then reached out to pull the sulking Ji Chengfeng, comforting him, "Alright, don't be angry. We're all family, let's keep the good stuff in the family!"
Ji Chengfeng: "Hmph!"
He was still very angry and wouldn't even look at Ruan Xu and his son Ruan Jian.
In fact, he had been keeping an eye on Qiqi's situation upstairs.
While the performances started downstairs, Qiqi stood in front of a room.
She sniffed the eerie and sinister aura wafting from behind the door, then casually asked Ruan Jiaojiao, "Sister Jiaojiao, whose room is this? Can I go in and play?"
"I'll take you to my room instead. This room belongs to my father, and he doesn't even let me in normally," Ruan Jiaojiao said, frowning.
"Oh, I see." Qiqi lowered her head dejectedly. "Never mind then, I'll just go downstairs. I don't want to go to your room."
As he spoke, he turned to walk downstairs.
"Oh dear..." Ruan Jiaojiao reached out and grabbed her hand, "Didn't we agree to play with toys and eat snacks in my room? There's nothing in this room, nothing fun to do, why do you insist on going in?"
Qiqi looked at the closed door: "I smell incense and candles behind the door. This smell is the same as the incense and candles that my orphanage director used to burn when he worshipped the statues. I miss my director a little. I wonder how he is now?"
Ruan Jiaojiao immediately understood; it turned out that the smell reminded her of her loved one!
But a brat is a brat. After entering the Ji family, she still thinks about her life in the orphanage. She's truly hopeless!
She glanced at Qiqi disdainfully, raising her chin: "Fine, fine, go ahead if you want. But let's make this clear first, if my dad finds out, you have to say you wanted to go in yourself, and it has nothing to do with me!"
"Okay, I got it!" Qiqi immediately smiled.
Ruan Jiaojiao reached out and turned the doorknob, but couldn't open it.
The door was locked.
"The door won't open, but that's not my fault," Ruan Jiaojiao said, shrugging.
Qiqi pouted, looking very sad: "Then I'd better go downstairs."
Ruan Jiaojiao: ……
Ruan Jiaojiao was getting anxious. Her father had told her to bring this wretched girl upstairs, and if she didn't treat her well, her father would definitely be very angry.
If Dad gets angry, the consequences will be severe.
She was a little scared!
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, if you insist on coming in, wait here for me. I'll go to Dad's room to get the key!"
"Really?" Qiqi looked at her, somewhat doubtful.
"Why would I lie to you!" Ruan Jiaojiao said firmly. "You wait, I'll be back soon. Don't wander off, and don't go missing!"
"Okay!"
Ruan Jiaojiao turned and ran away.
She had previously secretly seen her father hide the room key in his bedroom drawer.
The drawer key was pressed under the vase on his desk.
Qi Qi watched with a sharp look as Ruan Jiaojiao ran into Ruan Xu's bedroom.
Once Ruan Jiaojiao's figure disappeared, Qiqi immediately placed her small hand on the door of the room in front of her.
Points of spiritual energy surged, condensing into specks of light at her fingertips, and quickly coalesced into a wall-penetrating talisman as her small hand moved.
Qiqi stuck the talisman on the door panel, then took a step forward with her short legs and actually passed through the door panel and entered the room.
The room is very small, and its layout is somewhat like a storage room.
The only window was blocked by curtains, so no light could get in.
In the center of the room was a table with a shrine on it, and inside the shrine appeared to be a Buddha statue.
A pair of incense sticks and candles were burning in the incense burner in front of the Buddha statue.
By the light of the incense and candles, Qiqi saw the true face of the Buddha statue.
The black Buddha statue had gloomy eyes, a sharp nose, and a wide-open mouth, its smile exuding an indescribable eeriness.
"The Ruan family is indeed worshipping an evil god!" Qi Qi said angrily, wishing she could pick up the evil god statue on the table and smash it to pieces.
But when she looked at the body of the evil god statue, she noticed that it still carried the scent of her father's luck.
However, that fortune was not inside the evil god statue; it seemed to have been transferred to other people through the evil god statue as a vessel.
But she had just looked at Ruan Xu, and Ruan Xu didn't have her father's luck.
In other words, the evil god statue did not transfer the energy it absorbed from his father to Ruan Xu, but instead gave it to someone else.
Isn't it Ruan Xu who can offer it?
How could it possibly pass its good fortune on to someone else?!
It seems that Ruan Xu, that big bad guy, has been fooled!
Serves you right!
That scoundrel! I hope he gets swindled out of all his clothes.
Qiqi blinked, her chubby little hand forming a hand seal, and "smack!" struck the evil god statue.
Her keen senses alerted her that Ruan Jiaojiao had found the key and was about to come out, so she immediately left the room and put away the wall-penetrating talisman on the door.
The talismans drawn with spiritual power can be reused repeatedly and should not be wasted.
Qiqi had just passed through the door when Ruan Jiaojiao came over with a long bunch of keys.
She waved the keys in her hand, as if to say: See, I didn't lie to you!
Just as Ruan Jiaojiao was about to take out her key to open the door, she heard Qiqi say, "Sister Jiaojiao, my mom was calling me just now. It seems that your uncle has already explained things to my parents about your brother. We have to go now. I'll go into this room to play another time!"
Ruan Jiaojiao felt a little annoyed when she heard this.
She was the one who said she wanted to go in, and I went to great lengths to steal the key, but now she's not going!
Although Qiqi wasn't going, Ruan Jiaojiao felt relieved, but she still felt a sense of anger at being tricked.
Ruan Jiaojiao's face darkened: "Why are you like this? I'm never playing with you again!"
After saying that, she angrily ran off to put the keys away.
Qiqi glanced at her back, shook her head, and strode downstairs with her short legs.
Ruan Jiaojiao and her mother are really pitiful. They don't tell their father (husband) and brother (son) what they do, yet they still think it's for their own good.
How foolish!
However, this family is rotten to the core, and Qiqi has no intention of helping them at all.
If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences; this is a cycle of cause and effect that no one can escape.
Downstairs, Ji Chengfeng saw Qiqi come down alone and frowned as he stood up from the sofa: "Qibao, didn't you go to your room to play with Jiaojiao? Why did you come down alone?"
"Daddy." Qiqi rushed towards Ji Chengfeng with a wronged look on her face. "Sister Jiaojiao doesn't like me. She left me alone as soon as she went upstairs and ran away. Daddy, let's go home. I want to go home."
