Chapter 524: 333 Recognizing Relatives: Fifth Master struggles to survive in a tight spot, Third Master Fu is hard to serve (3 more updates)_2

The most important thing was that besides Jiang Yanting, the iceberg, there was also the God of Killing from the Huo Family of Hexi—hardly anyone dared to take a seat at that table.

"Sit over here." Shen Zhixian called out to Shen Shuci with a smile, perhaps feeling a natural kinship with someone sharing the same surname.

"Thank you." Shen Shuci sat down next to Shen Zhixian, leaving just one seat between them, which happened to be occupied by some unpopular god of plague; she simply nodded and smiled politely at him, while the person in question kept a cold face, showing little emotion.

"Uncle Huo, can I really come over to play at your house?" Taotao was apparently not afraid of him at all.

"Yes."

"Then, can Uncle Xiaosi come with me?"

Jiang Chengsi, who was originally talking to Qi Zeyan, was caught off-guard by the call; his heart skipped a beat, for he was reluctant to venture into that dragon’s lair and tiger’s den, knowing just the pair of wolves kept as pets at the home were fierce enough to devour someone.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Taotao ran off delightedly to find Jiang Chengsi. The Huo Family estate was vast, with a backyard that extended into the mountains and, it was said, a large Green Plum Garden. Taotao, having heard about it, wanted Jiang Chengsi to take her there. Knowing he would be reluctant, she preempted him by saying, "Your Uncle Huo prefers quiet, we shouldn’t disturb him."

Now things had changed. Taotao smiled at him, "Uncle Xiaosi, Uncle Huo agreed!"

Jiang Chengsi could only respond with a forced laugh, "I’ll take you and Jiangjiang there another day."

...

After the recognition banquet began, the first to speak was Zhou Zhongqing, who reminisced about the past, expressed gratitude for the present, and even made a special mention of Jiang Jinsang.

"Here I must especially thank one person, that is Jiang Jinsang..."

Jiang Jinsang was taken aback, instantly becoming the center of attention, and at that moment, he could only struggle to maintain his smile.

"If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have met Wanwan."

"Nor would I have recognized her as my goddaughter, all thanks to him."

"So the bonds between people are really quite miraculous, and I never thought that at my age, I could still find such a wonderful daughter."

...
