Chapter 695 - 694 Ulterior Motives_2
Although Situ Xin didn’t stop her family members from having a friendly contest with Xiao Muli, after the sparring session was over, she secretly slipped him some ointment for external injuries every day. Situ Xin daren’t be too overt about it. If her grandfather and the others found out that she was sneaking medicine to Xiao Muli, the injuries on his body would at least double.
Xiao Muli also knew that at this time, if he dared to show any intimacy with Situ Xin, all his previous efforts might come to nothing. So, no matter how much he missed Situ Xin and wanted to hold her tightly in his arms for a tender moment, he forcibly restrained those desires.
For the sake of their future together, he just had to endure.
In the Situ family residence, all the men from both families had gone to the training field to practice with Xiao Muli. Meanwhile, the women gathered in the living room of the Situ family house, drinking the tea personally brewed by Situ Xin and enjoying the snacks she had made, engaging in casual conversation.
But as they chatted, the topic of conversation began to change. "Hey, have you guys heard?" Old Madam Situ couldn’t keep things to herself, and having held back since the start of their idle chit-chat, she couldn’t restrain herself any longer.
Old Madam Situ’s words successfully captured everyone’s attention and piqued their curiosity. Even Situ Xin looked up at her grandmother, waiting for her to continue.
"Mom, heard what?" Loo Yaxin, ever the impatient one, couldn’t resist asking out of curiosity.
Seeing her words had aroused everybody’s curiosity, Old Madam Situ was quite pleased with herself, but she didn’t forget to satisfy their curiosity. "It’s about the Ruan family in the big compound," she said.
"What happened to the Ruan family?" Lu Juan, always so busy, was doing well just to recognize everyone in the big compound. She had absolutely no idea about the recent events there.
Old Madam Loo and the others were different from Lu Juan. Though they might not have known about everything in the compound in detail, they had heard some whispers about the recent happenings.
