Ruan Hao, holding Jiaojiao, glanced at him, smiled, and then patted Jiaojiao’s little head saying: "Jiaojiao, brother has to go out for a while, let Xiaoxi play with you, okay?"
"ow?" Where is big brother going?
Ruan Hao either didn’t understand or wasn’t prepared to answer; he just gently kissed her little forehead, then placed her into Xiu Xi’s arms, and inford the Ruanlin Family and Elder Shu before heading out.
Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t truly trying to cause trouble with Xiu Xi; once she was placed in Xiu Xi’s arms, after being coaxed a couple of tis, she playfully squird a bit and then stuck to him, not wanting to leave.
As it got to a certain ti, she closed her eyes and napped.
Downstairs, there were many people, and Xiu Xi worried they might disturb her, so he carried her upstairs.
Watching them, Qin Qiong was quite envious, wondering when he could be like that kid, able to hold his little wife whenever he wanted.
Thinking about how they were just engaged now, with one more step before fully being married, Qin Qiong couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
Feeling lancholic, suddenly the phone on the side rang; at first, he thought it was Ruan Jianguo’s phone ringing. When others looked over, he realized it was his own phone ringing; he quickly picked it up to answer.
Qin Qiong just greeted with a "hello" without saying much, only listening to the other party speak, and as ti went by, his expression beca more solemn, until when he finally hung up the phone, his face could be described as grave.
The people next to him were completely confused and felt a rising sense of foreboding.
Indeed, as soon as Qin Qiong hung up, he walked over to Ruan Jianguo and said: "Brother Ruan, the one you wanted to follow last ti just died in the hospital this morning."
"Dead?" Ruan Jianguo was shocked, his face changed drastically.
Shu Jiao and the Ruanlin Family also looked over, shocked: "Dead? Are you saying Feng Jin, who was on the train with us, died?"
Qin Qiong nodded solemnly: "Not confird when he died, but it was early this morning when he was found seriously ill at ho, rushed to the hospital but died shortly afterward."
"What kind of serious illness?" Ruan Jianguo asked calmly after recovering.
"We don’t know now, but the person I sent to follow them two days ago found out where they lived. Quite coincidentally, this Feng Jin has a bit of history with your family."
"Tell us quickly, don’t keep us in suspense!" Shu Wen couldn’t wait, seeing him seemingly still withholding information, repeatedly tapped him.
Qin Qiong imdiately said: "Feng Jin’s wife is your family’s Xiaoxi’s father’s own sister, Duan Family’s third lady, Duan Sishu."
Upon hearing this, the Ruan Family was stunned.
Could the Feng Family, which they were so wary of, actually be Xiu Xi’s aunt?
Qin Qiong didn’t know the specific connections between the Feng Family and the Ruan Family. Seeing them remain silent with unclear expressions, he asked: "Brother Ruan, why are you investigating this Feng Family?"
Matters from the past life were hugely complicated; the Ruan Family had long decided not to speak of them outside, including Shu Wen who didn’t know.
Ruan Jianguo stayed silent without answering.
Qin Qiong paused and didn’t mind; everyone has their own secrets, and so things simply can’t be pursued to the end, which he understood.
He turned to Shu Jiao and asked: "Then this Feng Family, should we keep following them?"
"No need, thank you Xiaoqiong." Shu Jiao shook her head.
Having been quite shocked, everyone fell silent for a while.
