Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Acknowledging Relatives (2) Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Acknowledging Relatives (2) At that ti, Jiang Yuanlong was not yet married, wearing formal attire, his eyes looking straight at the cara, exuding an aura of vigor and spiritedness.
Xiu Xun looked closely at the person Jiang Bin was pointing at in the photo, his gaze gradually darkening.
So this… is this really his father?
“Over the years, has he looked for ?” Xiu Xun asked.
“Of course, Xiaoxun, your dad has never stopped looking for you, and your mom too, she’s been bedridden all these years because of your disappearance. All these years, they’ve only ever had you as their child.”
Xiu Xun didn’t speak, only caressed the photo that was handed to him. In those eyes that had always been devoid of emotion, there finally appeared to be a shimr of turmoil.
“Xiaoxun, your uncle will have your school withdrawal processed tomorrow, and we’ll pick a suitable ti to head to your ho. Think about it, do you have any matters that need to be handled? If not, your uncle will book a ticket for Thursday morning to Beidu, and we can arrive ho just before Sunday.”
Matters that need to be handled?
He had nothing; could there be anything that needed handling?
If there truly was anything, it could only be said that he once had a beautiful dream, but later that dream shattered…
“Xiaoxun?” Jiang Bin’s biggest struggle now was Xiu Xun’s silence. Before he could bring the kid back, he was really afraid sothing might go wrong.
“Nothing.” Xiu Xun finally shook his head, and said to Jiang Bin, “I’m going to class now.”
After speaking, he didn’t wait for Jiang Bin’s response and turned to leave.
Jiang Bin felt as if his passion was suddenly extinguished in an instant. He frowned and watched Xiu Xun’s receding figure. He couldn’t sense even the slightest excitent or resistance in the boy; it was as if… all of this had nothing to do with him.
Perhaps because he had frequently visited the Ruan Family, Jiang Bin now instinctively went to the Ruan Family whenever anything ca up.
It was in the middle of the day when he woke Ruan Jianguo from his sleep. Ruan Jianguo was irritated yet couldn’t express it, especially since this man had helped out a bit with the matter at the Qi Family last ti.
Ruan Jianguo tried to keep his expression very amiable as he asked, “What brings you here, Big Brother Jiang?”
“Big Brother Ruan, I’ve confird that Xiu Xun is my nephew,” Jiang Bin said.
“I know that…” Ruan Jianguo subconsciously replied.
Jiang Bin cast a suspicious glance his way.
Ruan Jianguo’s initially groggy mind instantly cleared, and he slapped his thigh, exclaiming, “No, I an, I had guessed it long ago! After all, you two are so fated, right?”
Jiang Bin looked at him, and without suspicion, he nodded along. Indeed, he and Xiu Xun were fated, otherwise, his older brother wouldn’t have been searching for ten years in vain, and he wouldn’t have stumbled upon him by chance.
Still, rembering Xiu Xun’s attitude, he felt sowhat uneasy, “What do you think this kid is really thinking?”
“Well, you have to analyze the specifics of the matter. Start by telling exactly what’s going on.”
Jiang Bin recounted Xiu Xun’s attitude, and at the end, he asked Ruan Jianguo, “What do you think is going on through this kid’s mind?” Perhaps because he had been in this place for so long, Jiang Bin’s words were unconsciously tinged with a bit of the local accent.
Ruan Jianguo frowned thoughtfully, then said, “Maybe it’s just a bit of unfamiliarity. Think about it, since he was little, he knew he wasn’t biological, and for so many years no one ca looking for him. He probably never thought he would have blood relatives, so your sudden appearance probably just caught him off guard.”
Hearing this, Jiang Bin thoughtfully nodded, but he still felt that the crux of the matter wasn’t this, though he couldn’t quite articulate what it was.
