Chapter 254: Just Happy (Seventh Update)
Mrs. Jiang caressed An Zhixia's back lovingly, smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "What's the big deal? You are the granddaughter of our Jiang family. You should eat the best, wear the best, use the best, and show off your style to others.
From now on, no one can bully you and your brother, not even that bastard of yours..."
"Grandma, could you please stop ruining my reputation all the time?" a helpless voice came from behind them.
Mrs. Jiang froze, and with a wry smile she let go of An Zhixia and greeted her grandson, "Is our Mingming back?"
Jiang Shiming snorted at her in annoyance, "The granddaughter is back, and the big treasure and the good grandson are gone. You just sent her away with a Mingming? Grandma, your heart is so loose, right?"
Having said that, he looked at An Zhixia gently, with an unusual light in his eyes, opened his hands, and said with a smile: "Sister, welcome home!"
An Zhixia laughed without any hesitation. She ran over and hung herself around his neck. Thinking of their first meeting, she laughed and said, "If my brother were here, he would be furious and jealous!"
Jiang Shiming patted her head unceremoniously: "Your brother is your brother, so I am not your brother?"
"Brother Mingming," she couldn't help but burst out laughing again, "From childhood, our math textbooks have always been about going to school and coming home."
"Grandma, it's confirmed. She is indeed your granddaughter. She is just like you in her crazy behavior," Jiang Shiming said helplessly, looking at the old lady and shaking his head.
"You little rascal, why are you talking about your sister like that?" Old Mrs. Jiang supported An Zhixia unconditionally and patted her grandson on the arm without any courtesy.
After laughing for a while, Old Master Jiang had already called Jiang Shiming's parents, and the two were on their way. The Bai family prided themselves on being a family of scholars and the best Confucian merchants. The Jiang family was indeed a real family with hundreds or even thousands of years of heritage. Even if New Xiahua was established, the things in the Jiang family's bones could not be stripped away.
There was a sound of brakes outside, and soon Aunt Zhang trotted to open the door.
The three people upstairs also came down after hearing the sound.
The Jiang family members are all good-looking. Father Jiang is over 40 years old but has no signs of gaining weight. He is handsome and elegant, with only fine lines at the corners of his eyes showing the ruthlessness of time. He is tall and straight, which makes his iron-gray Zhongshan suit look full and straight. His calm eyes are full of wisdom. He is in charge of foreign trade. Although he is not a regular employee, he complies with organizational regulations and has real power, which cannot be ignored.
Jiang's mother and father were a young couple, and they were considered a perfect match. Jiang's mother wore a light blue sweater and black straight pants, with a low ponytail and her hair on both sides forming a gentle arc. Her skin was white and shiny, and her eyebrows were clear and beautiful. How could she look like someone in her forties? If she said she was in her twenties, some people would believe it.
She teaches fine arts at Tang University, and exudes the sophistication and intellect of an artist.
When they saw An Zhixia on the stairs, they were both stunned. The real person was even more shocking than the one in the photo. Seeing her smile, it was like seeing the soft little girl in the big house in Shanghai. They immediately felt a mixture of sweet and sour in their hearts.
It was Jiang's mother who reacted first. She smiled and walked forward to hold An Zhixia, "Xia Xia is so beautiful. Now, dad and mom have a well-behaved and obedient granddaughter, and I have a little cotton-padded jacket." As she spoke, she took out a thick red envelope from her bag and stuffed it into her hand: "You are not allowed to refuse. This is the dowry that your aunt has saved for you for twenty years. Your brother also has a share. Auntie can't talk, but her heart is all in it."
An Zhixia smiled and did not refuse, and accepted it generously.
The other members of the Jiang family were dumbfounded. They only thought about being happy, but forgot the most important gift! So they all rushed to their own rooms to search through boxes and cabinets, determined to take out the things that best expressed their feelings.
Not long after, Jiang Shiming came down first, also with a thick envelope. He smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm your brother, I'm not married yet, I spend money lavishly, and I don't have much saved. Take this, and use it to buy whatever you want. I still have some."
An Zhixia pursed her lips and took it with a smile. Mr. Jiang and Mr. Jiang each received a thick envelope, while Mrs. Jiang received a heavy small box.
"I've enjoyed everything in my life, but your mother was the only thing that tripped me up. From now on, no one in our family is allowed to mention her. Just pretend that there is no such debt collector as her. Here, these are the good things that grandma has saved up for her whole life. I've left them for your two brothers. These are all yours. You are the only good boy in our family, so don't follow your mother's example and run away from home at every turn.
If you have anything to discuss with your family, we all really care about you and would never want you to suffer."
An Zhixia responded obediently: "Family members must discuss things with each other. I'll remember that!"
She took the small box solemnly, bit her lip and said, "Grandma, Grandpa, based on this mutton-fat jade pendant, my appearance and photos, can you really conclude that I am the granddaughter of the Jiang family? I asked the old man of the Jiao family to do a paternity test for me, my brother and my adoptive father, and only then did I know that we are not An Zhiping's children."
Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang looked at each other and said with a smile: "No matter whether you are or not, as long as you recognize us, you are the granddaughter of our Jiang family, and your brother is the grandson of the Jiang family. No one can change this!"
An Zhixia also said solemnly: "I like the atmosphere of the Jiang family, and I like everyone in the family. I will cherish my time with you and will never bring trouble to you all!" She has always trusted her intuition. The Jiang family is a place where she can relax and release her true nature. And based on these three pieces of evidence, the probability that she and her brother are children of the Jiang family can reach 80-90%!
They sat together and talked for a while. Usually they asked questions, and An Zhixia slowly dug out all the memories in her mind, including those of An's mother, and told them in detail. They talked until very late, and then they reluctantly went back to the room to sleep.
"Are you asleep?" An Zhixia was wiping her hair after taking a shower when she heard Jiang Shiming ask in a very low voice outside the door.
She opened the door, and the man squeezed in. My brother adapted well to his position and found a chair to sit down. He said, "It's the season change, and the Friendship Store is very busy. I didn't have time to pay attention to you. How are you? Is there anything you are not used to in your new unit? Tell me everything, and I will solve it for you in one go."
An Zhixia did not hide anything and told the whole story, which made Jiang Shiming frown.
"All employees in the system are like this. They think they have a stable job and can do whatever they want. They just deal with the work and then work hard. It's the same everywhere."
