Chapter 295: 202 someone: Slandering the Fifth Master, flirting with Wanwan?

“Sister-in-law’s father was laid to rest, and Xie Jing, as a son, helped carry the coffin to the end,” said someone from Beijing. “He was very fortunate, as long as he was entered into this family’s genealogy, even as an adopted son, he was bound to lead a life of wealth and honor.”

Tang Wan nodded, “So he still lives with the Xie Family?”

“Probably not, but he holds a position at the Xie Firm. It’s possible that he may have found some leads concerning sister-in-law, so the adoption was not brought up again. However, the Xie Family didn’t cut ties after accepting him.”

“When Xie Jing came to Beijing, he was quite young. You couldn’t promise a child glory and wealth. Although you couldn’t fulfill that promise, you couldn’t send him back to the countryside either, so he was raised here all along. He used to live here. When he moved out, I’m not quite sure.”

“However, his reputation outside isn’t very good. Although capable, he has had his share of scandals—after all, he wasn’t raised by the Xie Family from a young age, unlike Xie Duo.”

“Uh-huh.” Tang Wan nodded, seemingly understanding why he was alone at the Xie Family at this time.

“My older brother and Zeyan both had interactions with him. He’s not mediocre, just too worldly and selfish to form deep bonds,” Jiang Jinsang chuckled. “And at every dinner, there must be some women accompanying him; his private life is quite lavish.”

“Does the Xie Family not know, or do they not care?”

“I’m not sure about that,” Jiang Jinsang chuckled.

…

The gathering was lively for a while until Du Jinglan called everyone to get ready to eat.

“Taotao, stop playing, go wash your hands, and get ready to eat,” Shen Zhixian said softly. During this time, she and Jiang Yanting didn’t interact much; her demeanor almost seemed like they were genuinely acquainted from matchmaking, polite yet familiar.

“Uncle, shall we go wash our hands?” Taotao was initially playing with Jiangjiang, but somehow she had moved next to Jiang Jinsang.

“Taotao?” Shen Zhixian frowned; her daughter wasn’t usually clingy, yet she especially liked Jiang Jinsang.

“No worries, where is the bathroom? I’ll take her there.” As her dearly loved niece, Jiang Jinsang was naturally very affectionate.

“Go this way, it’s a conspicuous place; Taotao can find it,” Shen Zhixian also had no other choice.

“Taotao doesn’t easily get close to people; it seems she and Xiaowu are quite fated,” Elder Xie chuckled, observing their harmonious interaction with a broad smile.
