Chapter 746: Returning to One’s Ancestral Roots (2)_1
Xiu Xun had always been helping out at the Ruan Family’s restaurant. This time, among the inspection personnel was a friend of Zhao Li’s. As the host, Zhao Li naturally wanted to treat them to a good meal before they left. This kind of business was not something she would give to others, so she brought them to the Ruan Family’s restaurant.
Since Ruan Jiandang’s matter had not been settled yet, Ruan Jianguo wasn’t in a hurry to go to the restaurant. They were already so familiar with each other that Zhao Li didn’t bother them and simply made a phone call to the restaurant, ordered several of its popular dishes, and reserved a large private room. The next day at noon, she brought everyone there.
It was extremely hot in the middle of the day, and although ceiling fans were spinning, the group was still unbearably hot.
Zhao Li greeted them and then stepped out of the private room, asking the kitchen to send over a cut watermelon to cool them down.
Not long after she sat back down, Xiu Xun came in carrying slices of watermelon.
When Xiu Xun entered, Jiang Bin was sipping herbal tea with his head bowed. Several people beside him were eagerly trying to please him. He wore a light, carefree smile on his face, but his mind was completely elsewhere.
He was still thinking about the incident he witnessed involving Xiu Xi the day before.
In that era, Xiu Xi’s eyes were too conspicuous, especially after knowing the distinguishing characteristics of the eyes of all the Beidu family heads, everyone would subconsciously think of that place.
However, like others before him, he felt it was unlikely. How could a child from that family end up in such a small mountain village? Besides, there was no news about the current head of the family getting married and having children.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but shake his head, suspecting it was merely a coincidence.
