Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor Chapter 2709

Chapter 2709: Dislike

Ruan Ruyun looked at her, unsure what she meant. Did she agree or not? So she lowered her gaze and fiddled with the corner of her beautiful dress. “Brother Little Jiu, they took me out of the bamboo courtyard. The clan’s people are now treating me really well. The Patriarch has also instructed that only the best be provided to me. People frequently visit me in the courtyard where I live to talk and give me gifts.”

“I know I would still be in the bamboo forest if it hadn’t been for Brother Little Jiu.” She said, looking up at Feng Jiu as if recalling something. “Brother Little Jiu, my master…my master was killed by the old predecessor. Just two nights ago, my master was killed by the old predecessor and the Patriarch. How they did it is unknown.”

As she spoke, she bowed her head. “No one outside knows this and no information has leaked outside. A formidable person like my master died this way.”

Feng Jiu listened quietly with a calm expression, watching the girl in front recount the story with her face dim, relieved, and disconsolate at times.

“Brother Little Jiu…” Feng Jiu cut her off just as she started speaking.

“We’ve only met once, so it’s not like we know each other well. You are the Fourth Miss of the Ruan family, so please refrain from calling me Brother.” Feng Jiu, noticing that the maid outside the courtyard had brought food and drink, instructed the maid to put the items down and withdraw.

She poured the wine and took a sip, but she didn’t look at Ruan Ruyun. Instead, she just said, “This is the rear courtyard. You should return.”

“So, you’re not willing to come to the Ruan family as a guest official?” Ruan Ruyun asked Feng Jiu.

“I am not interested,” Feng Jiu said as she gently shook her wine cup.

“But, this is the first task a.s.signed to me by the Patriarch. If it is not completed successfully, the Patriarch will be disappointed.” She bit her bottom lip and looked at Feng Jiu with a look of embarra.s.sment on her face.

…

“Why should I be concerned?” Feng Jiu cast an indifferent glance at her.

‘Of course, it’s your concern! I was taken out of the bamboo forest thanks to you. They have all ignored me and disliked me before, but now they all like me and are very nice to me. This is all because of you!” She told Feng Jiu. “I don’t want to let them down. I want them to always like me.”

Feng Jiu paused her meal and studied the girl intently. The girl wore a dress made of fine material with a ta.s.sel at the waist, and on her wrist, she wore not just an ordinary bracelet but one with spatial s.p.a.ce.

In addition, there was a delicate pearl necklace around her neck, and the earrings on her earlobes sparkled with an enchanting light. The veil that had covered the girl’s previously ugly face had been removed, revealing her jade-like delicate complexion and excellent facial features. A pair of eyes displaying innocence and complacency.

The inferiority between the brows had disappeared and in its place was an unconcealed arrogance as well as an unpleasant sense of superiority. One must say that this girl had the same condescending att.i.tude as the daughters of powerful families. In contrast to her previous inferiority, she had now become more dazzling and resembled the daughter of an influential n.o.ble family.

It’s just that the girl in front of her didn’t inspire her to want to help, but rather repelled her.

“You have changed significantly in just a few days.” Feng Jiu spoke slowly. As she turned to look at Ruan Ruyun with an inexplicable look on her face, she said, “It surprised me.”
