1146: Chapter 1146: Elders (8) 1146: Chapter 1146: Elders (8) âYou just love to join in on the funâŠâ Wang Hehua glanced at her daughter, âBut you mustnât speak carelessly.â
âMom, when have I ever spoken carelessly?â Li Xiang stamped her foot.
Everybody laughed again.
Leaving Li Zhongâs house, Yang Ruxin felt light-hearted and in very good spirits.
Not everyone was ungrateful, after all.
At least the three families she associated with were very decent and sincere in their support of her.
That was enough; life didnât need to be perfect, did it?
Li Zhongâs house was next to the old Yang Family estate, separated by a mere three or four meters, close enough that if people were in their courtyards speaking loudly, they could hear each other.
So, even though Yang Ruxin didnât want to pay attention to the old estate, she still overheard the voices from its courtyard, voices she had just listened to in a town shop yesterday.
Unexpectedly, they were at the old estate today.
âDaniâŠ
no, Ruxin?â Just as Yang Ruxin had taken a few steps, the door of the old estate opened, and Tian Geng came out with Yang Baichuan, immediately spotting Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin couldnât avoid them and had to turn back with a glance: âUncle Tian from the Tian Family.â
âI was just about to come over and check on you,â Tian Geng said with a smile, holding up the gift in his hand.
âI shouldâve visited my cousin-in-law and you earlier, but Iâve been caught up.
Today is a good opportunityâŠâ
âUncle Tian, our family has severed ties with the Yang Family,â Yang Ruxin said with a slight smile.
âSo, thank you for the thoughtâŠâ Then she turned and walked away.
Yang Baichuanâs face darkened, but he didnât dare say anything now.
âYou childâŠâ Tian Geng showed the helplessness of an elder.
âEven if youâve severed ties, the bond of blood can never truly be cutâŠâ
Yang Ruxinâs eyebrows lifted slightly.
âLetâs go.
This is some snacks Iâve brought for Xiaofeng and the others.
I havenât seen them in over half a yearâŠâ Tian Geng, acting familiar, reached out to pull Yang Ruxinâs arm.
But Du Man stepped forward and pushed his arm away.
A flash of coldness crossed Tian Gengâs eyes, but he still showed a smile: âI am your uncle, an elder.
Look at how guarded you areâŠâ
âCousin, I told you not to go chasing after those who donât care about you, but you wouldnât believe me,â Yang Baihe, who came out at some unknown point, leaned against the door frame, cracking melon seeds and making snide comments.
âSheâs a big boss nowâŠâ
Tian Geng turned to glance at Yang Baihe: âWe are all family, no need for grudges to last overnight.
Baihe, as an elder, you shouldnât be making sarcastic remarksâŠâ
Yang Baihe pursed her lips, spat, and then turned back inside.
âXinxin, donât be so distant; after all, we are your maternal family, arenât we?â Tian Geng was extremely patient.
âSince you say so, I would come off as unsympathetic to refuse again,â Yang Ruxin said with a smile.
âWell then, letâs go.â
However, just as they reached the edge of the village, they saw Guan Qingyue approaching from the opposite direction.
She looked listless, but the moment she saw Yang Ruxin, a smile appeared on her face: âXinxin?â Then she hurried over and grabbed her hand, âXinxin, I was wrong before, please forgive meâŠâ She only realized there was someone else nearby after finishing her plea, causing her to furrow her brows.
âIâve forgiven you,â Yang Ruxin replied with a smile, pulling her hand away.
âIâve got things to doâŠâ And with that, she turned and walked away under their astonished gazes.
