Chapter 2476: Chapter 2476

Ruan Jiaojiao had met Yang Xiaodi before, but that was five or six years ago. At that time, Yang Xiaodi was about the same age as her, and her memory was not very clear; the only thing she remembered was that her sister was very thin.

But back then, Yang Xiaodi was only about twelve years old, and a twelve-year-old girl is growing, so being a bit thin was nothing.

However, she never expected that when she saw Yang Xiaodi again, she’d look like this.

Ruan Jiaojiao could no longer remember what Yang Xiaodi looked like. Yang Xiaona didn’t have her photo, so Ruan Jiaojiao could only form an image in her mind to guess.

About the same age, maybe dressed simply, possibly darker, a bit thin... that kind of thing.

This was how she imagined Yang Xiaodi to be, so when Yang Xiaodi actually walked up to Yang Xiaona and timidly called sister in her rural accent, Ruan Jiaojiao was instantly stunned.

Yang Xiaona had been busy with work and studying in recent years and had returned home less often, so she hadn’t seen Yang Xiaodi for over a year.

She stared at the frail Yang Xiaodi in front of her, her arms and legs reduced to bones, and was completely stunned.

"Xiaodi?" She called out in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that this person could be her sister from her memories.

Yang Xiaodi was so thin that she had not a bit of flesh, with a face almost like a skull, yet she suddenly smiled: "Sis, it’s me."

"How could you..." Yang Xiaona covered her mouth, looking at Yang Xiaodi, who was completely different from her memories, her eyes red as tears welled up.

Her voice was choked with emotion, her raised hand trembling, wanting to touch Yang Xiaodi, but as she reached out, she didn’t dare touch her, as if doing so might cause her to shatter; ultimately, she couldn’t bear it, slowly squatting down, which startled Ruan Jiaojiao beside her, who quickly came over to support her: "Xiaona, don’t get excited, be mindful of your health."

Seeing Yang Xiaona this way, Yang Xiaodi was startled too, quickly coming over to support her, anxiously saying: "Sis, I’m fine. I just got sick a while ago and became a bit thinner, don’t get excited, be careful with the baby in your belly."

Yang Xiaona shook her head while crying, reaching out wanting to hug Yang Xiaodi, but as soon as she stretched her arm, Yang Xiaodi’s face changed, unable to suppress a cry.

Yang Xiaona was too familiar with this; her face changed, quickly pulling open the collar of Yang Xiaodi’s clothes, and her face instantly turned pale, completely bloodless.

She stared blankly at the bruised skin extending down Yang Xiaodi’s neck, almost in pain as if her heart was breaking.

"How did this happen?" Yang Xiaona bit her lip, took a deep breath, and asked her.

But underneath her seemingly normal expression was an emotion on the verge of collapse, her voice shattered, out of tune.

Yang Xiaodi was still struggling to adjust her clothes, but they didn’t fit her well and couldn’t be adjusted properly. When she pulled at the neck area, it would expose her arm, then reveal more alarming wounds.

If there was one word to describe these wounds, it would be something like mangled flesh.

Yang Xiaodi was wearing only two pieces of clothing, an undergarment and a somewhat thicker coat. The outer clothing revealed nothing, but the interior garment had adhered to the wounds on her arm. When she tugged on it, the scabbed wounds would tear open, oozing blood.
