Chapter 770: Returning to One’s Ancestral Roots (26)_1
After sending off several villagers and the Captain, Jiang Bin earnestly thanked the Ruanlin Family and then left.
Once he was gone, Little Fatty, who had been holding back from speaking, couldn’t help himself anymore, "Is this really Xiu Xun’s uncle? No way!"
"Shut it, grab your pile of smelly clothes and scram back home, and remember, no one is allowed to speak of this matter, or else don’t blame me for tearing up your mouths! Got it?" Ruanlin Family’s voice was a cold and low warning.
Ruan Feng and Ruan Lei immediately zipped their lips and, hugging their pile of smelly clothes, skedaddled in a hurry.
When Shu Jiao and Ruan Jianguo came back in the evening, they both learned about the incident. Shu Jiao figured Jiang Bin would probably go straight to the restaurant tomorrow, so she instructed Ruan Jianguo to not give anything away, to avoid letting Jiang Bin know that they were actually aware of the situation all along.
Ruan Jianguo looked at her, slightly hurt, "Wife, do you really think I’m that foolish?" He felt he had put on a pretty good act that day.
"..." Shu Jiao thought, and, to tell the truth, yes, he really was!

The next day was Zhao Li’s birthday. For the past two years, they stopped preparing the birthday meal at home and went directly to the Ruan Family’s restaurant. Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi, having nothing else to do, planned to follow Ruan Jianguo’s car to the high school to see a few older brothers, and then meet them at the restaurant for the midday holiday meal.
The Ruanlin Family had things to take care of and would not join them at first; she planned to head to the town and meet up with Du Qing before noon to make their way over together.
