Chapter 1005: Jiang Xun (1)
Later, Xiu Xi might have been influenced and wanted to buy something as well, but was coaxed out of the idea by Ruan Jiaojiao. Only then did the family return contentedly to the garden.
On the day they went to the Jiang Family for the banquet, Old Master Shu, considering that he had to visit the Xin Family the next day and might not be able to handle the fatigue, as well as with some intention of letting Shu Lang take charge of family affairs, asked Shu Lang and Shu Wen to attend in his place.
In such a large family, these kinds of formal banquets were indispensable social rituals.
In the past, Shu Wen didn’t mind such events too much. But this time, it was the Jiang Family’s main house hosting, which meant Jiang Bin, as the intermediary, would take on the role of smoothing things over—and he would certainly be present.
Shu Wen really didn’t want to run into him, didn’t want to go, but after being scolded by Old Master Shu, she had no choice but to go in the end.
The Jiang Family clearly took this banquet very seriously, even arranging for Jiang Bin and Jiang Xun to personally pick up their guests.
In just half a year of not seeing him, when Ruan Jiaojiao came downstairs with Xiu Xi and saw Jiang Xun dressed in a tailored little tailcoat below, she almost didn’t recognize him.
Jiang Xun had grown taller again. He seemed about the same age as Xiu Xi, and Xiu Xi had had a growth spurt in the past couple of years. Yet, unexpectedly, Jiang Xun was still just a touch taller.
He had always been good-looking. Even when he wore tattered clothes in the past, his handsome features couldn’t be obscured. Let alone now, dressed as he was, he looked every bit like a young master stepping out of an aristocratic family, without a trace of his former hard times.
He stood beside Jiang Bin. Jiang Bin was talking to the Ruanlin Family matriarch, whose gaze fell upon Jiang Xun, and she commented with emotion, "Xiaoxun, you’re so different now, it seems like you’ve grown quite a bit taller."
