They sent out invitations to gather all the relatives and friends of the Xie family. In the spacious living room, there was constant laughter and joy, and everyone was waiting to witness this special moment with curiosity and anticipation.
At the beginning of the ceremony, Mr. Xie stood in the middle of the living room in high spirits, cleared his throat, looked at Lin Yuexi with loving eyes, and said solemnly: "Today, I invite everyone here to formally introduce Yuexi to all the relatives of our Xie family. Yuexi has been wandering for many years, and now she has returned to her roots. As for whether she will continue to use the surname Lin or return to her ancestral surname Xie, it is up to her to decide."
For Lin Yuexi, the surname is just a symbol. There is not much difference between being surnamed Lin or Xie.
However, the original owner's consciousness quietly played tricks on her heart, making her more inclined to follow her biological father's surname, Xie.
After all, looking back on the past, what Lin Fugui did to the original owner wasn't really good.
Those indifference and neglect are like scars engraved in my heart, which still hurt.
Being able to find his biological father and return to his real family has always been the original owner's greatest wish deep in his heart.
Now, this opportunity is right in front of him, as if it is fate's compensation for the original owner's years of suffering.
In Mr. Xie's earnest gaze and sincere words, Lin Yuexi felt the strong family affection and sense of belonging. After thinking for a moment, she nodded gently, gladly agreed to Mr. Xie's words, and officially changed her name to Xie Yuexi.
This promise seemed to have created a closer bond between her and the Xie family.
When Mr. Xie saw this, he smiled so hard that he couldn't stop, and his wrinkled face was filled with endless joy.
In the days that followed, he was like a child who had gotten a favorite toy. He couldn't wait to take Xie Yuexi to visit relatives and friends, and proudly introduced her to everyone he met: "This is my granddaughter, Yuexi. Look, what a pretty and sensible child!" His words were full of pride, as if he was showing off the most precious treasure in the world.
Not only that, the old man also specially found a pair of exquisite jade bracelets.
This pair of jade bracelets has a smooth texture and emits a soft luster under the light. You can tell at a glance that they are of great value.
The old man solemnly handed the jade bracelet to Xie Yuexi, his eyes full of love and remembrance, and slowly said: "Yuexi, this pair of jade bracelets was left by your grandmother. I have kept them for so many years. Now I give them to you, which can be regarded as returning them to their rightful owner. There is no use for me to keep them, but you can wear them to keep them in mind."
Xie Yuexi took the jade bracelet with both hands, and her heart was filled with emotion. She knew that this jade bracelet was not only valuable, but also carried the old man's deep longing for his wife and his deep love for her.
In order to express her gratitude to the old man and to make him happy, Xie Yuexi took out several jars of carefully brewed Lingquan ginseng wine. These bottles of Lingquan ginseng wine are different from the previous ones. This time, she used the Lingquan in the space and the most precious ginseng, and brewed it through her own unique craftsmanship. Not only is the wine mellow, but it also has many wonderful effects, which is several times better than the ordinary Lingquan ginseng wine.
Mr. Xie took a sip and his eyes suddenly brightened. He felt a warm current slowly flowing down his throat and his whole body felt indescribably comfortable.
The rich aroma of the wine spread in his mouth, leaving him with an endless aftertaste. The old man smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits, and praised repeatedly: "Good wine! Really good wine!"
In the days that followed, the old man couldn't put the wine down, and he liked Xie Yuexi even more. He would pull her aside to chat with him every day, and praise her for being thoughtful and filial to everyone he met.
Seeing his father so happy, Xie Youan looked at Lin Yuexi with a little more satisfaction in his eyes.
In contrast, his attitude towards his son had unconsciously become much colder. His once gentle gaze had now become dull, and he even occasionally revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.
All of this was seen by Xie Youan's current wife, Xia Jing. Her heart felt as if it was being gnawing at by millions of ants, and hatred surged like a tide.
She gritted her teeth, her nails dug deep into her palms, her eyes full of jealousy and resentment.
In her opinion, the appearance of Lin Yuexi took away the love and property that originally belonged to her son Xie Wenlei. How could she not hate him?
The look in her eyes when she looked at Xie Yuexi seemed to be able to spit out fire, and she secretly swore in her heart that she must find a way to destroy this illegitimate daughter and take back everything that belonged to her son.
Xia Jing still maintained a decent smile on the surface, but the resentment in her heart was growing wildly like vines.
As time passed, Lin Yuexi's relationship with Mr. Xie and Xie Youan became better and better. Xia Jing and her son saw it and hated it in their hearts.
Lin Yuexi certainly knew that Xia Jing and her son were dissatisfied with her, but she never expected that they hated her so much that she still continued with her plan to study in Beijing University.
The hustle and bustle of the first month of the year gradually fades away, and in the chilly spring, a new chapter of life slowly unfolds before everyone.
Lin Yuexi started her student life at Peking University with great anticipation, while Gong Mufeng returned to the army in military uniform, looking heroic.
Gong Jinyao, Gao Zhixuan and Gao Zhilan also have their own dreams. They are busy and orderly completing the admission procedures and officially enter the Normal University, hoping to shine in the field of education in the future.
Considering the convenience of going to school, Lin Yuexi made arrangements after careful consideration.
She asked Aunt Zhang to continue living in the warm old courtyard and take good care of the lively and lovely Gong Ziyan and the well-behaved and clever Gong Xiyun.
Su Yue accompanied Lin Yuexi and moved to the house near Peking University given by her parents-in-law.
The days pass quietly in the busyness, like the gurgling stream, plain but fulfilling.
Life is full of unexpected changes.
Just when everyone was immersed in their own stable and busy pace of life, a sudden piece of news broke the original tranquility - Zhao Gang actually brought Lu Shufang to the capital.
When Lin Yuexi heard the news, she was quite surprised.
Looking back, out of recognition of Zhao Gang's abilities and concern for her friend, she had sincerely invited Zhao Gang to Beijing many times to seek better development opportunities.
However, every time Zhao Gang declined without hesitation, and expressed his sincere desire to stay in Qinghe Village and take care of his blind mother wholeheartedly.
In Lin Yuexi's impression, Zhao Gang's filial piety to his mother was devoted and his perseverance had never wavered.
But now, he suddenly changed his mind. Not only did he come to the capital, but he also brought Lu Shufang with him. How could she not be surprised?
During the conversation with Zhao Gang, Lin Yuexi gradually understood the reason behind the incident.
It turned out that in the last days of Zhao Gang's mother's life, she was filled with relief as she watched her son and Lu Shufang support each other and share a deep affection for each other.
With the earnest expectations and blessings of his mother, Zhao Gang and Lu Shufang held a simple wedding ceremony in Qinghe Village in the presence of relatives and friends.
