Chapter 689 - 0689: A Merry Toast 4_1
Lu’s father and Wang Zhengguo had a sudden realization, which made them understand the high status Xibao held in front of the old leader. They realized it was a luxury for Xibao to be taught the Three Character Classic by the old leader himself, a privilege that wasn’t bestowed on just anyone.
Wang Xinsheng went back early the next day, only to be immediately called over by the old leader’s guards.
"I heard from Lu Shuai, you went to see Little Xibao yesterday?" The old leader asked directly.

Wang Xinsheng, Lu’s father, and Wang Zhengguo had discussed this and decided not to bring up the issue of sworn brothers, treating it as a meeting with old friends instead.
The old leader was taken aback, "Old friends? Right, right, right. You’re also from the Wanglou Brigade. But you haven’t been back to your hometown for decades, so initially I didn’t ask you about Lu Zhiyuan. Do they still recognize you? Were they surprised to see you?"
Wang Xinsheng replied with a grin, "Their mouths opened wide enough to stuff in a large bun. Xibao even exclaimed ’great-great’."
The old leader chuckled as soon as Xibao was mentioned.

Wang Xinsheng was slightly taken aback, "You want to meet both of them?"
