[Chapter 389 Heirloom]
The Jiang family is decorated with lights and a grand family recognition banquet is about to begin.
Servants were busy shuttling around the banquet hall, carefully arranging every detail. The dazzling crystal chandeliers cast their light, illuminating the long table filled with delicious food.
Lan Weiyu, wearing an elegant purple cheongsam, walked slowly into the banquet hall holding Lin Yin's hand.
Lin Yin was wearing a simple yet elegant white dress, and her eyes looked a little nervous.
After seeing Huo Jingze not far away, the man made a gesture of encouragement to her. Her heart inexplicably calmed down and she straightened her back.
Jiang Wensheng stood aside, trying hard to force a smile on his face, but there was still a lingering loneliness in his eyes.
Ever since Ye Jia showed up with her new boyfriend Bo Ye, he seemed like he had lost his soul, but in such a family occasion, he still forced himself to be spirited.
Other relatives of the Jiang family also arrived. Many celebrities and wealthy people in the imperial capital, as well as well-known media, were invited to the banquet, making it a grand event.
Accordingly, discussions are endless.
Everyone was shocked that Lin Yin was actually Jiang Yu, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family who had gone missing.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Lan Weiyu took Lin Yin's hand and slowly walked onto the stage. She cleared her throat and said, "Today, our Jiang family has welcomed a great event. My daughter Jiang Yu has finally returned to us. We have missed a lot of time due to years of separation, but from now on, our family will no longer be separated."
There was warm applause from the audience.
Lan Weiyu held Lin Yin's hand, her eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "Yu'er, Mom owes you too much. I will definitely make it up to you in the future."
Jiang Zhenhua stood aside and held the hands of the mother and daughter. "Yu'er, you have suffered a lot these years. Now that your parents are here, we will protect you and never let you suffer any grievances again."
"I will also protect Yu'er." Jiang Wensheng walked over and stretched out his arms to embrace the three of them.
The family of four hugged each other and comforted each other. The scene was warm and touching.
The guests in the audience were moved and applauded.
Then, the banquet officially began.
There were a lot of relatives and friends coming today, and Lan Weiyu took Lin Yin to recognize them one by one.
The first place I recognized was my grandfather’s house.
Lan Chengtian, an old man with some white hair but vigorous spirit, was sitting there. Beside him was Lan Yu Shi, with an upright posture and deep and restrained eyes. The young Lan Yuanzhou was lively and energetic, looking at Lin Yin who was approaching with sparkling eyes.
They were all Lin Yin's old acquaintances, but Lin Yin had lost his memory and did not recognize them for the time being.
Lan Weiyu introduced with a smile: "Yu'er, this is your grandpa."
Lin Yin bent her knees slightly and performed a standard junior greeting, "Grandpa, hello, I'm Yu'er, it's an honor to meet you."
Lan Chengtian showed a kind smile on his face. He reached out his hand and gently helped Lin Yin up. "Good child, when I first saw you, I felt that we were destined to be together. I didn't expect that you were Yu'er, my grandson. You have suffered a lot over the years."
Lin Yin smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa."
Then, Lan Weiyu pointed at Lan Yushi and said, "This is your uncle."
Lin Yin turned to his uncle and greeted him respectfully: "Uncle, I have long heard of your great name. Please take good care of me in the future."
Lan Yushi nodded slightly, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, "Yu'er, you don't have to be polite. We are all family."
Finally, Lin Yin's eyes fell on the tall and handsome Lan Yuanzhou. Lan Weiyu smiled and introduced: "This is your cousin, Lan Yuanzhou."
When the two first met, Lan Yuanzhou was still a teenager, but now he has grown into a mature and stable adult.
Seeing Lin Yin, he couldn't help but grin and took the initiative to step forward and hold Lin Yin's hand, "Cousin, I didn't expect you to be my cousin. Now you really are my sister. I will definitely come to play with you every day in the future!"
Lin Yin was infected by his enthusiasm and laughed, "Okay."
Lan Chengtian was filled with emotion as he watched this scene. He said to Lan Weiyu, "Weiyu, Yu'er's safe return is a blessing from God. You must love her well and make up for the love she has lost over the years."
Lan Weiyu nodded repeatedly, "Dad, I know, I will."
After getting to know her grandfather's family, Lin Yin felt a little more warm and at ease.
She could feel that her grandfather's family were all very nice people, and they all liked her very much. In this family, she had more relatives she could rely on and be close to.
Then, she was taken by Lan Weiyu to continue recognizing other relatives.
After completing the whole process, Lin Yin felt a little tired, and her feet were sore from wearing high heels.
Huo Jingze had been looking at her, and when he saw her, he walked over to her and said to Lan Weiyu, "Yinyin is tired, I'll take her to rest."
"Okay, okay, go quickly." Lan Weiyu called over a servant, "Hurry up and take the young lady and the son-in-law to their room to rest."
As the servant was leading Lin Yin and Huo Jingze to the room, Bai Jianjun appeared quietly.
He looked at Lin Yin's back, feeling mixed emotions.
Thinking of the scene where Lin Yin and the Jiang family recognized each other just now, his mood was extremely complicated.
He is her biological father, but they cannot recognize each other...
Bai Jianjun smiled bitterly silently, calmed down his mood and walked forward.
"Yu'er."
He shouted, and Lin Yin stopped and turned around.
Bai Jianjun walked up to her holding an exquisite box, trying to force a smile, and said lovingly: "Yu'er, this is my gift for you."
Lin Yin was a little surprised, but still took it politely.
When I opened it, I saw a piece of jade emitting a warm luster. The texture of the jade was unique, as if it was hiding the secret of time. I could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary thing.
Seeing this, Lin Yin quickly declined, "Uncle Bai, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."
Bai Jianjun shook his head gently and pushed it back, "Yu'er, you must accept it. It should have been yours."
This sounds a bit strange.
Without waiting for Lin Yin to react, Bai Jianjun hurriedly turned and left, as if he was afraid that she would not accept it.
Huo Jingze took Lin Yin into the room and closed the door gently.
He turned and looked at Lin Yin, who looked a little tired, his eyes full of pity.
"Thank you for your hard work today."
Huo Jingze gently embraced Lin Yin in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head.
Lin Yin leaned on his broad chest, closed her eyes slightly, and responded softly: "I feel much more at ease with you here."
Huo Jingze loosened his embrace, took Lin Yin's hand and walked to the sofa, asked her to sit down, then he squatted down, gently lifted her feet, took off her high heels for her, looked at her slightly red and swollen heels, and asked distressedly: "Does it hurt?"
Lin Yin smiled and shook her head, "A little bit, but it doesn't matter."
Her feet were held in the man's palms, and Huo Jingze gently massaged the soles of her feet.
"Hmm...it's itchy." Lin Yin couldn't help twisting her feet.
Huo Jingze raised his eyes to look at her, a doting smile on his lips, but his hands continued to move, with just the right amount of strength to relieve her fatigue.
"Bear with it, it will be more comfortable."
Lin Yin gradually relaxed, enjoying this rare tranquility and care.
She reached out and gently stroked Huo Jingze's hair, her fingers running through his hair.
Huo Jingze raised his head slightly, his eyes met hers, his eyes full of affection.
The two of them just stared at each other quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment.
After a while, Huo Jingze stood up, sat down next to Lin Yin, and held her in his arms.
Lin Yin leaned on his shoulder and put her arms around his waist.
After resting for ten minutes, the two were preparing to return to the banquet hall.
Just as she was about to go out, the door of the room was pushed open and Lan Weiyu came in.
She glanced casually and saw the exquisite blue gift box on the table.
"Yu'er, what is this?" Lan Weiyu asked casually.
Lin Yin said: "It's a gift from Uncle Bai."
Hearing this, Lan Weiyu's eyes moved slightly and she opened the gift box.
When he saw the jade pendant inside, his heart was shocked.
Isn’t this...the Bai family’s heirloom? When Bai Jianjun gave her the jade pendant, he said that the jade had a history of nearly a thousand years, was priceless, and had only ever been passed down to the daughters-in-law of the Bai family.
He actually gave it to Yu'er.
