The pair of excited eyes that resembled those of someone seeing their idol left Su Zhiyuan speechless. Just as he was about to say something, he thought better of it and swallowed his words.
Instead, he asked, "I remember the Ji Family had a little miss, didn't they?"
Mrs. Su was taken aback, thought carefully, and said, "It seems there was one." Mrs. Su narrowed her eyes and sifted through memories of bygone years: "Miss Ji gave birth to twins that year, a boy and a girl, and it caused quite a stir. Everyone envied her good fortune, but happiness turned to grief when her son was found to be born deaf and mute. I was the head of the department then, and she used her connections to have me check on him. The child was truly beautiful, a pity he was born with a disability." She shook her head in sympathy.
