The atmosphere at the dinner table was pleasant.
After a day of tiresome travel, Elder Jiang felt a weight lift from his chest upon seeing Fu Bing. Once he had eaten his fill, drowsiness overcame him.
Jian Yao tactfully helped Elder Jiang back to his room to rest. Before leaving, he subtly glanced at Wu Shi.
Ren Ye had Ren Zhi take Wu Shi to sit nearby.
Wu Shi chose a spot where he could still see Fu Bing and sat down.
Ren Zhi chuckled. "Brother Shi, you don't need to be so tense. My Second Uncle has only ever loved one woman in his life, and that's Miss Fu's mother."
Wu Shi couldn't even be bothered to spare him a glance.
It wasn't as if Fu Bing and her mother were biologically related. Who knew if Ren Ye's affections would shift?
Ren Ye said gently, "Thank you for saving me."
"Besides responding to Ren Zhi's invitation, I also wanted to learn about my mother's past from an old friend of hers. Would you be willing to tell me?"
