Villagers who had heard Old Mrs. Jing mention Mr. Zhang's daughter bravely stepped forward to ask, "Are you Mr. Zhang's daughter?"
Zhang Shiwan nodded and smiled, her gaze on the villagers very warm: "Yes."
Then it instantly spread throughout Shuanglong Village that Jing Juntao had brought Mr. Zhang's daughter back!
And then, those who were curious gathered around the several decades old starfruit tree at the entrance of the village chief's house.
The reason was to catch a glimpse of Mr. Zhang's daughter, who the Jing Family considered, Jing Xuan's wife-to-be.
Jing Xuan stood on the rooftop smoking, and from a distance, he saw Zhang Shiwan coming.
He just gave her a brief glance and then turned his gaze away, looking off into the distance.
The direction he looked in was towards the county seat—
He took puffs of his cigarette, his delicate face tinged with a trace of preoccupation.
