Chapter 592 Shu Wen (8)_1
"He was our former neighbor, but later his parents didn’t want him, and he saved my sister once, so our whole family considers him a life-saver," Ruan Jie answered after looking away, then quickly added, fearing Shu Wen wouldn’t like him, "He’s very kind to my sister." Even though sometimes he is a bit annoying.
"His parents didn’t want him? Why?"
"His mother passed away giving birth to his younger siblings, and his father got him a stepmother, who was no good to him..." As Ruan Jie spoke, he unconsciously lowered his voice, resembling a village gossipmonger, which made Shu Wen laugh.
After laughing, Shu Wen then asked, "Is his eye condition congenital?"
"I don’t really remember, I never paid much attention to him before. I started noticing after he played with my sister, it seems it’s always been like that," Ruan Jie wondered, looking at her, "Auntie, why is everyone asking about this?"

"Yeah, my uncle asked before too, saying it might be some genetic issue." Ruan Jie hadn’t learned much about these things in junior high, so he was also quite puzzled.
Shu Wen nodded her head but didn’t ask further, only teasing Ruan Jie as she got up with the dishes, "Xiaojie, the way you just lowered your voice and gossiped, you sounded just like a busybody. Remember, boys shouldn’t gossip like that."
Having said that, she hummed a tune and went off to the kitchen, leaving Ruan Jie staring in bewilderment. Wasn’t it she who had asked?!
That night, the dinner, thanks to the efforts of Shu Jiao and the Ruanlin Family, was exceptionally rich.
This was the first meal the two families had shared after a delay of over a decade, and the feelings were complex, especially for Shu Jiao, who, despite trying hard to suppress it, couldn’t help but have teary eyes.
