"Don't worry! It definitely won't happen." Jiang Anxia smiled and reassured him, trying to dispel his concerns.
"Fine, I believe you." Gu Yanzhu lowered her head and looked into the girl's eyes.
He realized that those beautiful eyes were filled with nothing but him.
It was as if he was the little girl's everything.
"Ayan, thank you." Jiang Anxia looked at Gu Yanzhu with serious eyes.
She was very grateful to Gu Yanzhu, who always appeared in time to comfort her when she was unhappy.
Even if he doesn't say anything, just staying quietly by her side makes her feel much better.
This man appeared in her dark world like her salvation.
"No need to thank me, it's what I should do." Gu Yanzhu gently shook her head.
He didn't do anything for the girl. He usually had to work and simply didn't have time to see her.
But now things are better. In a few more days, he can go to town and take better care of the little girl.
“No, I’m going to say it.” Jiang Anxia pouted, replying with dissatisfaction.
What do you mean it's something he should do? It's not at all. Even though it was voluntary, you should still thank them.
What should he do if she takes it for granted from now on?
"Silly girl, you can do whatever you want with me, don't worry too much." Gu Yanzhu easily saw through the girl's meaning.
"You'll spoil me rotten." Jiang Anxia's eyes shone brightly.
No one had ever said this to her before, and now that she heard it, it actually sounded pretty good.
"It's okay, I like you no matter what." Gu Yanzhu didn't know anything about sweet talk; everything he said came from the bottom of his heart, without a single lie.
If the little girl is truly spoiled, then he will take full responsibility for her.
"Gu Yanzhu," Jiang Anxia called out his full name softly.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Gu Yanzhu was puzzled. He was a little unaccustomed to the little girl calling him that.
The little girl hadn't called him that in a long time.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to call you." Jiang Anxia shook her head slightly and didn't say anything.
She just wanted to call out to him; she didn't mean anything by it.
Meanwhile, at the Jiang family...
"Third brother, go ahead and tell Xia to wait for me. I have something to tell her." Actually, Jiang's mother had already seen Jiang Anxia when she poured water.
But when she saw Gu Yanzhu standing next to her, she thought about it and decided not to go up and disturb her.
Now that you've guessed what they've been saying, you can go and bother them.
"Xiaxia? She's back?" Jiang Nanqiu was taken aback, not expecting Jiang Anxia to return.
"Hmm, you can see it if you look to the left when you go out." Jiang's mother gave Jiang Nanqiu a disdainful look.
This son has become so silly, it's hard to get used to seeing him like this.
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Nanqiu nodded gently, obediently turned around and went out.
Jiang Nanqiu looked at Jiang Anxia not far away, but the presence of someone beside her made Jiang Nanqiu's expression change.
"Xiaxia." Jiang Nanqiu pursed her lips slightly and called out softly.
"Huh? Third Brother? Why are you out?" Jiang Anxia thought they wouldn't be going out at this time.
"Mom told me to come out and find you." Jiang Nanqiu nodded to Gu Yanzhu, then ignored her.
Gu Yanzhu didn't care at all.
He's already hooked up with someone's girl, so what if he gets a little cold shoulder? If he can't even handle that, how will he ever marry a girl in the future?
Gu Yanzhu understood these principles.
"Looks like you've seen me." Jiang Anxia smiled and looked down, her tone somewhat helpless.
"Yes, Mom asked you to wait for her. She has something to tell you." Jiang Nanqiu nodded gently.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Third Brother," Jiang Anxia said softly.
It seems that what was bound to happen will happen.
Jiang's mother should be about to reveal the reason!
The three chatted outside for a while, then Jiang's mother walked up to Jiang Anxia with a stern face.
"Xia girl, come with me, I have something to tell you." Jiang's mother looked intently at Jiang Anxia.
Jiang Anxia followed silently behind her mother.
When they reached a place where Gu Yanzhu and Jiang Nanqiu could no longer hear their conversation, Jiang's mother stopped.
He turned away without saying a word, quietly looked at Jiang Anxia for a long while, and then sighed softly.
"Sigh~ The day has finally come. I've been struggling with this for a long time, but I've decided to tell you. As for what you think after you find out, that's up to you."
Jiang's mother had been thinking about this matter for the past few days, but in the end she decided to tell her, since Jiang Anxia had the right to know.
"Mom..." Jiang Anxia called out softly to her mother, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Xiaxia, you've grown up. You know about your background, but you still don't know the details." Mother Jiang's eyes were gentle, and her voice was somewhat weak.
"Actually, what your dad told you isn't entirely true. You weren't adopted. A friend of mine brought you home to raise when I was young." Jiang's mother's face was filled with memories of the past, which made Jiang Anxia's eyes well up with tears.
“At that time, my youngest daughter had indeed passed away not long after birth, and I stayed in the hospital for a month. The day before I was to be discharged, my friend came to me with you in her arms. She begged me to raise you well. She also told me your identity. At that time, I was also driven by selfishness and took you home.” As Jiang’s mother spoke, her eyes gradually reddened.
She remembered little Jiang Anxia laughing happily in her arms, her tiny little teeth showing.
At that time, she truly treated Jiang Anxia as her own daughter.
However, some things that happened afterward forced her to face reality: Jiang Anxia's biological parents were still alive, and they would find Jiang Anxia sooner or later.
"What was the name of the person who brought me to you?" Jiang Anxia couldn't bring herself to be cruel to her mother or anyone else in the Jiang family.
“Zhang Meixue. I used to have a good relationship with her when I was young. But after she gave you to me, I couldn’t find her anywhere.” Now that she thinks about it, Mother Jiang is convinced that something must have happened to Zhang Meixue.
No matter how much she inquired, she couldn't find any trace of Zhang Meixue.
"Mom, why did you act that way that day?" Jiang Anxia couldn't figure it out, so she gave up and instead asked about her mother's attitude that day.
“Xiaxia, you will always come back to that home eventually. I’m doing this so that the farewell later won’t be too painful,” Mother Jiang said earnestly.
"Mom, no matter what, you'll always be my mom, that can't be changed. If you really don't want to see me, then I'll just come back less often in the future." Jiang Anxia said this with a hint of resentment.
She'd already gone this far; if Jiang's mother still acted this way, then she had nothing more to say.
"You! I can't do anything with you. As long as you're alright, the Jiang family will always be your family." Jiang's mother shook her head helplessly and gave in.
