I Packed Away the Supplies and Fled with My Family

Nuclear pollution has altered human genes, granting abilities that can be plundered by others. Shen Xingmian managed to acquire multiple abilities but, in the end, overwhelmed by despair for the fu...

Chapter 258 Unable to Refuse Such Kindness

The maid who opened the box was from Madam Jiang's side. She always understood her mistress's thoughts, and at this moment, she cooperated with the maid beside Madam Jiang, singing in unison:

"Oh my, we've never seen such a big ginseng before! This ginseng is so fresh, it looks like it was just pulled out of the ground."

"Yes, yes, even if it's properly processed, it'll probably be much bigger than those century-old ginseng roots. Our old lady is truly blessed!"

"Madam, look! This mirror is so clear, you can even see your reflection in your eyes!"

"And this string of beads, Cui'er has been by your side since she was old, and has seen all kinds of fine things, but she can't even tell what it's made of. It's so dazzling and beautiful."

"Yes, I wonder where the two young ladies found this treasure. They are so thoughtful."

The two young girls showered her with praise, making both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law visibly happy. As for the second wife's side, their faces were as ugly as could be.

The scene before him made Jiang Yu, who usually didn't get involved in backyard squabbles, unable to help but want to laugh.

He used to have no ill feelings towards the second wife, thinking that at least they were family and closer than outsiders. But after so many things, he would never have such naive thoughts again.

Who doesn't have pests in their fields? Just get rid of them.

The more Madam Jiang listened, the happier she became. She said to the little maid who was praising her so highly, "Cui'er, go quickly and bring me that box from my bedside."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang knew that her mother-in-law wanted to return the gift in person. Thinking that she couldn't be careless either, she immediately directed her maid to go back and fetch it as well.

The other gifts have also been opened; they are all rare treasures, but compared to the ginseng and the mirror, they seem less extraordinary.

The more heartily they laughed on this side, the more their faces stung from the slap.

Madam Jiang was speechless, her face extremely pale. She angrily rubbed the handkerchief in her hand as if she wanted to crush it to pieces, her knuckles turning white.

The two maids returned in a flurry of activity, their steps quick yet steady, and no accidents occurred despite their speed.

The two carefully placed the wooden box on the table. When they opened it, they found it filled with rare and precious treasures.

Shen Xingmian couldn't help but look at them out of curiosity. They were all jewelry and ornaments, which looked like they hadn't been worn much and were still very new, being treasured and kept.

The jewelry and headdresses that were treasured by the two ladies must have been of the highest quality.

One of the jade hairpins was exceptionally crystal clear, and Madam Jiang placed it directly into Yu Xiurui's hair, making it look quite beautiful.

Yu Xiurui was somewhat at a loss, and when she looked at Shen Xingmian, her eyes were full of apology.

Shen Xingmian knew what she was thinking, of course. It was nothing more than that these things should have been hers, but now they had been given to her, and it was unlikely that they would be given to her later, so she felt very guilty.

But why would I hold such a grudge against her?

Her online space is filled with just too many similar great things.

However, she couldn't let Rui Rui stay at the Jiang family's house permanently. This time, she was just letting her get familiar with the situation and see if Uncle Jiang Yu's family was easy to approach.

Once she was more familiar with the place, she would take her people and continue on her journey. She would return to see her off once the Jiang family had prepared everything for the wedding.

Although Rui Rui was recognized as the daughter of the Shen family and given the surname Shen, when people talked about it, almost no one would associate her with the original Yu Xiu Rui.

However, the surname Chen is still somewhat sensitive in the capital, and since she is marrying Jiang Yu, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will notice and cause trouble.

So after discussing it, the three of them decided to give Rui Rui a more ordinary name, and only the two ladies of the Jiang family would know that she was a daughter of the Shen family.

This way, Rui Rui's status in her husband's family can be guaranteed, and she can also be protected from gossip and rumors.

When Shen Xingmian mentioned these things to Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu was deeply moved.

He had considered all of these things, but given his position, it was really inappropriate for him to bring them up. It would be much simpler if a "third party" like Shen Xingmian could bring them up.

That way, it wouldn't sow the seeds of trouble between him and Rui Rui.

The result of the discussion was to retain the character "蕊" (ruǐ), but without "秀" (xiù) or the "云" (yún) character from the Shen family, and instead choose "清" (qīng).

Shen Qingrui.

This is the name I mentioned when I introduced her, and Rui Rui likes it very much.

She wouldn't have to get entangled with the past, nor would she have to worry about being mistaken for a member of the Shen family and suffering the consequences. After all, if she married Jiang Yu, she would have to stay in the capital for a long time to come.

However, Shen Xingmian felt that it was more likely that she would go with Uncle Jiang Yu, and wherever they went, it would always be the two of them.

Just like my second uncle and aunt.

That would be quite enviable; even the most perfect couple couldn't be more like this.

Shen Xingmian imagined it and was very happy for the two of them, not only for Rui Rui, but also for Uncle Jiang Yu. After being lonely for so many years, he was finally going to have a wife. How wonderful!

Seeing his parents being so sweet and loving before, his feelings must have been incredibly complicated. Now, he finally has his own happiness.

Come to think of it, it was actually his father who asked him to help take in Rui Rui.

He stole his sweetheart, but gave him back someone to grow old with. Father, you're really something.

Seeing the two ladies becoming increasingly enthusiastic and their obvious satisfaction with Rui Rui, Shen Xingmian finally felt completely relieved.

Jiang Yu, who maintained a faint smile, shared the same feelings as her.

Today's meeting was something he had been looking forward to for a long time. Only he knew how much he longed to bring Rui Rui home.

Seeing the harmonious scene before him, he breathed a huge sigh of relief. None of the things he had worried about had happened. And the reason it went so smoothly was all thanks to the little girl next to him.

Originally, on that day, he would have lost Rui Rui and all the possibilities of future happiness, but because of her appearance, everything was changed.

Rui Rui stopped trying to kill herself. As her health improved, she gradually stopped being depressed and even started to smile again.

Before this, he never dared to imagine that such a day would come.

It's like a dream.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but look at the little girl beside him, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Shen Xingmian felt uneasy under such a gaze, fearing that with Uncle Jiang Yu's stubborn nature, he would inevitably have to serve her like a slave in the future.

She really is...

I can't refuse such kindness!

Hahaha.
