Chapter 1250: Chapter 1250: Don’t Steal My Brother Xu (9)
Tonight, finally, while he wasn’t home yet, it managed to hide the big drumstick, planning to sneak a bite in the middle of the night. But his nose was just like a dog’s, and out of nowhere, he popped up and snatched the big drumstick away.
It was so mad it almost blew its top.
And at that very moment, Ruanlin was at the Zhao Family next door, so it had to stay home to guard the house, otherwise, it would have chased after him long ago.
Now seeing Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi coming back, it couldn’t help but report, as it had to get the big drumstick back.
As for the wife? What’s that worth? Can it taste as good as a big drumstick?
“Then go on, Samo ran towards the street corner.” Seeing the silly look on Rou Rou, Jiaojiao could only say helplessly.
And Rou Rou, having received the special pardon, turned around and sprinted off, determined to get the big drumstick back today!
“This fool.” Jiaojiao watched its disappearing figure at the door, utterly speechless.
When she got to the living room, she called out a few times for grandma, but Ruanlin didn’t come out. So she went to the sofa to make a phone call, first calling Shu Jiao to report her safety, and then asking her to help excuse her and Xiu Xi from school, before finally hanging up and leisurely watching TV in the living room.
A little past nine, Shu Lang and Qin Qiong came back. The two were whispering about something, and they both paused seeing Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi sitting in the living room.
“Jiaojiao, Xiaoxi, how come you guys got off school so early today?” Shu Lang asked, glancing at Qin Qiong, who nodded.
The two tacitly decided not to continue the previous conversation.
Jiaojiao was seriously watching television and hadn’t noticed their unusual reaction. Hearing the question, she offered a brief explanation.
Qin Qiong had not known about Xiu Xi’s background before and was surprised to hear, “Duan Family, you are actually Duan Qianyang’s son?”
Actually, back in the day, the Duan Family’s incident was quite a big scandal, and everyone in that small circle knew about it.
“Uncle Qin, you know Uncle Duan too?” Jiaojiao, intrigued, moved to his side and asked.
“Of course I know. Back when we were kids, Duan Qianyang was always the model child our elders talked about all the time. But then that incident happened…” At this point, Qin Qiong paused.
The Duan Family saw it as a scandal, but he actually thought it wasn’t that bad. In ancient times, it wasn’t uncommon for cousins to marry. Moreover, back then, Duan Qianyang and Wen Yu didn’t have real blood ties; Wen Yu was just a child adopted by the Wen Family.
But the old man of the Duan Family insisted on bloodline purity, forcibly tearing apart a couple in love.
Later, when Duan Qianyang fell gravely ill, everyone in the circle said it was the old man’s doing.
Who could have guessed that Duan Qianyang and Wen Yu actually had a child, and coincidentally, this child was adopted by the Ruan Family, which was quite the destiny.
“What happened next?” Jiaojiao was anxious as Qin Qiong left the story unfinished and shook his arm to hint for him to continue.
Qin Qiong glanced at Xiu Xi, noticing that he looked composed and unruffled. Given that this matter was not exactly a secret in their circle, and knowing they’d learn about it one day, Qin Qiong gave a brief recount.
Wen Yu was a cousin on Duan Qianyang’s mother’s side. In those years, the Wen Family had few heirs, and to gather blessing, they adopted a child from the orphanage, which was Wen Yu.
