Chapter 19 Recognition of relatives

Just as the three were immersed in the warm atmosphere, other members of the Xie family arrived at the Xie residence one after another.

As soon as Jiang Songchu went downstairs, she felt gazes coming from all directions.

She smiled as she looked back, responding to everyone's attention.

The first thing that catches the eye is an old man with gray hair but a sprightly spirit, leaning on his cane and smiling at me.

Jiang Songchu thought to himself, "This must be Grandma Feng's husband, Xie Linxiao's grandfather."

Then she saw two middle-aged couples.

The two middle-aged men had similar faces; one was more serious, while the other looked slightly younger, clearly brothers.

They were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, looking like successful men.

The women sitting next to them each had their own unique characteristics.

A woman with her hair styled in an updo, a gentle and dignified face, and a warm, spring-like smile, wore a dark long dress with a delicate sheen and exquisite details, exuding understated luxury.

The other woman had neatly cut her hair short, wore a light-colored suit, adorned with jewelry, and had a slightly sharp expression, exuding the aura of a strong woman.

The two ladies, one still and one moving, both exuded unique charm and elegance, which made Jiang Songchu secretly admire them.

At this moment, Grandma Feng pulled Jiang Songchu to sit down and said, "Little Chu, come and get to know everyone."

Then she pointed to Grandpa Xie and said, "This is your grandfather."

Then, pointing to the dignified man and the gentle woman, he said, "These are Xiao Xiao's parents. You can call them Uncle and Aunt."

He then looked at another middle-aged couple: "This is my youngest son and daughter-in-law. You can call them Second Uncle and Second Aunt. Their son, who is also your other brother, is currently studying abroad. I will introduce him to you when he comes back."

Jiang Songchu nodded quickly and greeted each person politely.

Grandpa Xie scrutinized Jiang Songchu for a few moments.

Seeing that she was poised and confident as he looked her over without a trace of guilt or nervousness in her eyes, he nodded to himself, thinking that the old woman really had good taste.

Then he said, "Xiao Chu, right? This is your home now. We are all your family. If you need anything, just let us know. We'll share happiness and hardship together from now on."

Jiang Songchu nodded gratefully and obediently agreed.

At this moment, a slight smile appeared on the stern face of the eldest son, Xie Zhenghua, as he spoke up: "Mom, you're not right. Since she's Xiaoxiao's sister, she should naturally call me Dad and Jiaru Mom!"

The second brother, Xie Zhenggang, also laughed and said, "That's right. Xiao Chu should call me uncle and Lingling aunt."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Feng slapped her thigh and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Oh dear! Look at my brain, Xiao Chu really should change his address to call Dad, Mom, Uncle, and Aunt."

Looking at everyone's expressions, Jiang Songchu understood that Grandma Feng was saying this on purpose because she was afraid her family wouldn't accept it.

Now that everyone is saying this, they know that they have accepted them, which is why they asked me to change my tune.

She was very grateful to Grandma Feng for thinking of her, and she also felt that this family had an honest face and did not seem like deceitful people; they were an easy family to get along with.

So she didn't hesitate and immediately started changing her address to everyone, officially becoming a member of the Xie family.

However, when Jiang Songchu softly called out "Mom," her eyes involuntarily reddened, and her heart was filled with endless longing for her deceased mother.

Her mother left her forever when she was only five years old.

She felt as if she had traveled back to that cold winter day, with snowflakes falling, and her family was in a remote border region.

Time was of the essence, and the father, seizing the opportunity, resolutely led his troops into battle to resist the fierce invasion of the Xiongnu.

That very night, a traitor hidden in the camp was discovered and attempted to kidnap the young Jiang Songchu as a hostage in exchange for a chance to escape.

Just as danger lurked around them, her mother spotted them and fought bravely against the spies. Soldiers arrived during the fight, and although they eventually managed to subdue the spies, they were ultimately defeated.

Unfortunately, her mother was also injured by a poisoned dagger in the hands of a spy.

The dagger was so poisoned that even highly skilled military doctors were helpless against it.

Jiang Songchu could only stand helplessly by, watching her mother leave her forever.

At this moment, looking at the woman in front of me with her gentle face and peaceful demeanor, I felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.

Jiang Songchu seemed to see the shadow of her mother in her.

The warmth and love emanating from Lin Jiaru made her involuntarily call out "Mom".

This call was a genuine expression of Jiang Songchu's innermost feelings, without the slightest hint of reluctance or affectation.

Lin Jiaru looked at Jiang Songchu in front of her, her eyes red and her fair face flushed with excitement, but she still couldn't hide her innocent and beautiful appearance, which instantly touched the softest part of Lin Jiaru's heart.

She quickly hugged Jiang Songchu tightly, gently patted her back, and responded tenderly, "Hey, good girl, Mommy's here."

Standing to the side, Mr. Xie witnessed this scene and felt an indescribable pang of sorrow welling up in his heart.

In fact, Lin Jiaru had been pregnant with her second child, but unfortunately, she miscarried due to an accident when the child was already five months old.

The pain and despair they felt when they took the baby girl, who had already lost all vital signs, from the doctor's hands can be imagined.

That blow was too heavy for Lin Jiaru; the double blow, both psychological and physical, made her unable to conceive again.

Looking at Jiang Songchu at this moment, Xie's father couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

If their daughter had grown up healthy, she would be fifteen years old by now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh silently, step forward and hug his wife tightly, as if he were giving her comfort and strength in his own way.

Standing to the side, Xie Linxiao witnessed this heartwarming yet slightly poignant scene, his heart filled with mixed emotions, and he could only choose to remain silent...

At dinner time, everyone sat together, and the atmosphere became exceptionally warm and joyful.

The table was laden with delicious food, and everyone ate and chatted, their laughter and conversation creating a harmonious and beautiful scene.

Jiang Songchu was also immersed in this rare warmth and happiness, feeling the warmth and care from this family.

After dinner, the men of the Xie family went back to work, so Jiang Songchu and the women of the Xie family took a walk together at the Rhine Villa to digest their food.

They gained a deeper understanding of each other.

Jiang Songchu learned that Lin Jiaru had founded a trendy Chinese jewelry brand, while her aunt Xiao Ling had founded a popular blind box brand. Although their companies did not occupy a large share in the Xie Group, their influence was gradually increasing.
