Chapter 1331: Chapter 1331: Father Feng (Part 3)
Shu Jiao’s eyes flickered when she heard this.
Back when the Feng Family of three moved to Beidu to live, she had someone investigate their background. She couldn’t find out in depth, but she knew the superficial details.
Feng Nianian’s father is from Yuansu, and her mother is from Beidu, as is the person in front of her. Could it really just be a coincidence?
Next to her, Ruan Jianguo still didn’t comprehend what this meant and laughed, saying, “Then we’re fellow townsfolk, we’re from Yuansu as well.”
Shu Jiao glanced at him lightly. Ruan Jianguo belatedly felt a bit of chill in that look, instinctively swallowed, and toned down his smile a bit.
Shu Jiao actually wanted to ask more questions but was afraid that asking would arouse suspicion since the person in front of them was evidently quite guarded. Not like Ruan Jianguo, who was careless; if she asked more, it would certainly raise suspicions.
Fortunately, perhaps the man gave them some credit for just having helped him, and didn’t think they were bad people, so he wasn’t as guarded. As soon as Ruan Jianguo finished speaking, he smiled and continued, “Yes, fellow townsfolk, but our family moved to Beidu a few years ago.”
Upon hearing this, the Ruan Family’s expressions changed slightly.
Ruan Jiaojiao was especially on edge.
Too many coincidences; she even began to wonder if the person in front of them was really Feng Nianian’s father.
Actually, back then under the Lu Family building, she had seen the Feng Family of three from afar. But at the time, the distance was too great, and being so young, she only focused on the girl in the middle who was about her age, so she hadn’t paid much attention to Feng Nianian’s parents, let alone had the means to compare.
The middle-aged man kept talking and didn’t notice the Ruan Family’s abnormality. However, there was not much more discussion about family matters in the ensuing conversation. Even when Shu Jiao tried to steer the conversation there several times, the middle-aged man would divert the topic or avoid answering, clearly not wanting to discuss family matters.
They chatted for more than half an hour, and afterward, the middle-aged man went to the restroom. The Ruan family members fell completely silent.
Ruan Jianguo realized something too. He furrowed his brows, a bit unsure, and said, “Could it really be such a coincidence, that it’s actually that Feng family?”
Shu Jiao remained silent, but her expression turned somewhat sharp.
The Feng Family is the Ruan Family’s nightmare, something she never wants to encounter again in her life. If it is really such a coincidence to meet them in this small compartment… thinking of this made Shu Jiao feel cold.
This means it’s a calamity the Ruan Family can’t escape.
When the middle-aged man returned from the restroom, the Ruan Family didn’t continue chatting. They each got onto their beds to rest, and the middle-aged man climbed onto his bed as well.
On the train, there wasn’t much entertainment; besides chatting, all one could do was sleep.
But knowing that this person might be Feng Nianian’s father, the Ruan Family couldn’t even feel comfortable closing their eyes.
Ruan Jiaojiao had long since crawled into the arms of Xiu Xi, who gave her the most sense of security. Xiu Xi was sleeping in the uppermost bunk, while the middle-aged man was in the second level across from them. She lay within Xiu Xi’s arms, occasionally glancing over there, and whispered to Xiu Xi, knowing that no one could understand her animal language, so she spoke freely.
“Meow meow meow.” Brother Xiu, the person in front cannot really be Feng Nianian’s father, right? It can’t possibly be such a coincidence.
Meeting a member of the Feng Family by such coincidence, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but wonder if this trip to Beidu also meant they would encounter Feng Nianian?
