"Don't worry so much," she said. "From now on, just focus on your studies. The same way your Uncle's wife supports your brother Hao, she will support you three brothers in the future."
"Auntie," Ruan Wei said, his eyes brimming with tears.
"Oh dear," Shu Jiao pulled him into an embrace, hugging him lightly, and patted his back. "There, there, go to sleep now. Have a good rest tonight, and there'll be nothing troubling you tomorrow."
"Auntie's place is close to yours and since both Hao and Jie are not home, feel free to sleep here instead."
"Mhm," Ruan Wei nodded vigorously, feeling that Auntie was incredibly kind.
Shu Jiao gave him a tender smile, helped him close the door, but as soon as it shut, the smile on her face vanished completely.
