Sun Yuqi followed Qu Wenting into the main room. There was no one in the room. Qu Wenting asked Sun Yuqi to sit down and personally poured her a cup of tea.
"Yuqi, is it okay for me to call you that?"
Sun Yuqi said with a smile.
"Auntie, you can just call me Yuqi. That's what my grandfather calls me at home."
Qu Wenting put down the teacup and sat down opposite Sun Yuqi.
"Your Grandpa Mu and Grandma Sun are out, and they probably won't be back for a while. Uncle Jingran is also not out, so I think he will be back soon.
Maybe it was because she didn't need to say it. As soon as Qu Wenting finished speaking, she heard voices coming from the yard. Qu Wenting stood up and said.
"Jingran's uncle is back."
When Sun Yuqi heard that it was Mu Jingran's uncle, she quickly stood up and followed him out. She saw a middle-aged man about the same height as Mu Jingran talking to Mu Jingran in the yard. When he heard the noise, he turned around and saw Sun Yuqi. He was also stunned for a moment, but then he remembered something and smiled.
"This must be Xiao Sun! Hello, I'm Uncle Jingran, you can call me uncle too!"
Sun Yuqi was a little unsure whether she should call him uncle. Since she had not yet married Mu Jingran, it would seem disrespectful to call him uncle at this time.
Qu Wenting understood girls' thoughts better and said angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The two children are not married yet. Aren't you making things difficult for Yuqi?"
When Mu Yuanhe heard this, he probably felt that something was not very good, so he laughed.
"I'm anxious. Don't worry, it's not too late to call after you get married."
After saying that, he quickly changed the subject.
"Mom and Dad aren't home?"
Qu Wenting knew that her old man was trying to ease the embarrassment.
"They went out and said they had something to do, but they didn't tell me what it was."
Mu Yuanhe nodded.
"Then wait a minute! Is the food ready?"
Qu Wenting rolled her eyes at him and said, "I've been preparing at home all day and I'm ready now."
After saying that, without paying any attention to Mu Yuanhe, he pulled Sun Yuqi into the house again.
"Now, the only one left in my family who hasn't returned is Jingran's cousin. His cousin, my son, is named Mu Chenlan. I also have a daughter, but she is married in the south and hasn't returned with us yet."
Qu Wenting said this in order to introduce her family to Sun Yuqi. Now that Sun Yuqi's marriage to her nephew has been settled, the family situation needs to be introduced.
About ten minutes later, Grandpa Mu and Grandma Sun also came back. A few minutes later, Mu Chenlan walked into the house. At this point, all the members of the Mu family in Beijing were finally present.
A group of people sat down around the big round table, and Grandpa Mu was the first to pick up the wine glass.
"Yuqi, our Mu family is small. Although I have some brothers and sisters in my life, the environment was not good back then, and I was the only one who survived. I only gave birth to two children, a son and a daughter. My daughter was not very good and passed away at a young age, leaving Jingran behind. Fortunately, Jingran has a good uncle and a good aunt."
Before Grandpa Mu finished speaking, Mu Yuanhe hurriedly said.
"Dad, look at what you said. Jingran is my sister's child, my nephew. If I don't care about him, who will?"
"That's right, Dad. These things are the responsibilities of us uncles and aunts. They are not worth mentioning."
When Qu Wenting heard her husband say this, she quickly stood up and spoke.
Grandpa Mu shook his head.
"You don't have to be modest. There are very few uncles and aunts in this world who can do what you have done. Even some of our biological parents may not be able to do it."
Mu Jingran on the side also stood up and bowed to Mu Yuanhe and Qu Wenting.
"Uncle, aunt and grandpa are right. You are the best uncle and aunt in the world, no doubt about it."
Mu Yuanhe was better, after all, he was a man and had good control over his emotions, but Qu Wenting was still a woman and more emotional. After hearing what Mu Jingran said, her eyes suddenly turned red and she wiped away her tears.
"Okay, Jingran, with what you said, your aunt will be happy to endure any hardship."
Sun Yuqi really didn't expect that Mu Jingran and his uncle and aunt had such a good relationship. Although she was envious, she was not jealous.
Sun Yuqi has been a human being for three lifetimes. Although she desires family affection, it is not absolutely necessary. Seeing how Mu Jingran gets along with his family, Sun Yuqi has a little more expectation for her future married life.
Mu Jingran's cousin Mu Chenlan is a man of few words. Perhaps it is because his uncle and his brother's wife are not good at talking, so Mu Chenlan speaks very little and mostly talks in a low voice with Mu Jingran.
After dinner, Mu Jingran sent Sun Yuqi out. The two did not ride their bicycles, but walked slowly while pushing the bicycles.
"We both lost our parents, but I envy you so much. You have grandparents who love you so much, and even your uncle and aunt are very kind to you. You should treat them well in the future."
Mu Jingran is very familiar with Sun Yuqi's life experience. Now, comparing the two, Mu Jingran is really glad that he has so many good relatives. He feels very distressed about Sun Yuqi's experience.
"You are not doing badly now. Grandpa Chen loves you."
Sun Yuqi heard the comfort in Mu Jingran's words and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I've already excluded those people from my life. I'll have nothing to do with them anymore. From now on, there will be no more of them in my life. There will only be Grandpa and you."
The smile on Sun Yuqi's face made Mu Jingran feel relieved. He was really afraid that Sun Yuqi would be irritated by seeing him being loved by the Mu family.
When Sun Yuqi returned home, Grandpa Chen was sitting in the yard waiting for Sun Yuqi to come home. He saw Sun Yuqi coming back.
"Well, girl is back. Have you seen Jingran's uncle and the others?"
Sun Yuqi parked her bike with a smile and sat next to Grandpa Chen.
“Grandpa, I saw it. I didn’t expect that the Mu family is so nice, and I can see that they all love Jingran very much.”
Grandpa Chen nodded repeatedly.
"That's true. The Mu family is a very good family. Otherwise, grandpa would never have let you marry that brat Mu Jingran."
Sun Yuqi heard the love in her grandfather's words and smiled.
"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about me. I really don't have any thoughts about them. Anyway, I have no intention of recognizing them in this life. I also told Jingran today that my only relatives in this life are Grandpa and the Mu family."
When Grandpa Chen heard Sun Yuqi say this, he felt relieved. In fact, he had always been afraid that Sun Yuqi would bury the matter deep in her heart but appear indifferent on the surface. This would easily lead to a breakdown over time.
But he didn't know that Sun Yuqi is no longer the one who would sacrifice herself for the longing for family affection as she was in her first life.
