771 Kill-Stealing (2/2)

The influential families were all connected.

Both the Wu family and the An family were considered influential families and had a rather close relationship with the Jiang family.

Wu Zhen thought for a moment. It wasn't likely for any important missions to be held in such a small area. Moreover, it was about the people's welfare, there was bound to be concessions.

If Jiang Zuo lent a hand, getting such information wouldn't be a problem as he carried a rank in the army after all.

It was his last day in the house of the Jiang family when he received Wu Zhen's call.

Even though Mother Xue allowed Xue Yaoyao to stay outside, she would still call her back during such events.

Regardless of how it was outside, it was still necessary for a family to maintain the basic harmony.

This was a principle Father Jiang abided by.

Father Jiang seemed to be in a good mood as he had never expected his usually uncooperative son to be sitting there in silence while eating his food.

Even though he wasn't wearing a cheery expression, it was much better compared to when Mother Xue had first entered the household.

Due to this abrupt family gathering, Xue Yaoyao's training couldn't persist until the end.

Even Mother Xue could tell how hard she was working when she saw her thin face.

Mother Xue didn't dare to place any food into her bowl, fearing it might infuriate Jiang Zuo because he didn't seem to like seeing their closeness.

Old Jiang had once reminded her to be mindful of her words and actions in front of Jiang Zuo.

However, Brother Xue glanced over, frowning when he saw Xue Yaoyao. ”Sis, did you lose weight?”

The moment he said that, Jiang Zuo who had been silent the entire time placed his chopsticks down, wiping the sides of his lips with a tissue as he turned to glance at Xue Yaoyao.

Since the atmosphere chilled immediately, Brother Xue regretted his words instantly.

Xue Yaoyao seemed to have grown more daring than before because after finishing her food, she lifted her head. ”Training has been tougher recently, everyone lost weight. That's rather normal.”
