Chapter 985: To Beidu (7)
Xin Family?
Shu Jiao furrowed her brows. Liang Wei’an seemed to know what she was thinking and promptly added, "It’s the Xin Family from West City."
Shu Jiao nodded, indicating she understood. Beside her, Ruan Jianguo watched the two of them exchange subtle signals, appearing to have perfect tacit understanding, and felt a pang of jealousy. Turning his attention, he tried to curry favor with Shu Jiao by serving her food, even deliberately calling out loudly, "Wife, eat more!"
Ruan Jiaojiao, sitting nearby, was amused by Ruan Jianguo’s reaction. She couldn’t understand where her father got all this unwarranted jealousy. She’d heard from her mother last year that Liang Wei’an was already married, clearly no longer a threat.
After handing the invitation to Old Shu, Liang Wei’an nodded to everyone before stepping out.
Shu Jiao glanced at the invitation and then asked Old Shu after setting it down, "Dad, has that child from the Xin Family gotten any better?"
Old Shu shook his head. "I heard he’s still the same—somewhat unpredictable."
To be fair, the rumors surrounding the Xin Family’s child were harsh—people called him an idiot, a madman, even mentally ill. Old Shu was not one to gossip irresponsibly, so he rarely discussed such matters.
Having experienced her own daughter’s struggles, Shu Jiao felt particularly empathetic toward that child from the Xin Family. She said, "Back in the day, I had some ties with Xin Qi. In three days, we’ll go with you to visit."
