Chapter 212: Go back on your word?
"grandmother!"
Jiang Cheng, who was always calm, couldn't believe what she heard.
"You heard it right, Nanyou is your aunt's daughter." Old Mrs. Fang repeated calmly.
Jiang Cheng pursed her lips, not knowing whether to be angry that her parents and grandmother had come to Hai City without telling her;
She was still angry that they all knew Nanyou was her aunt's daughter but didn't tell her;
Or maybe he was surprised that his friend was actually his sister...
"If Housekeeper Zhao hadn't told me you were coming to Hai City, I wouldn't have known you were here." Jiang Cheng calmed himself down. "What's the big deal about telling me? You actually hid it from me."
Mrs. Fang: "It's not too late to know now."
Jiang Cheng: “.............”
Jiang Cheng sat opposite Old Madam Fang in a rare depressed mood without saying a word.
After a long silence, he said, "Grandma, have Youyou and my aunt recognized each other?"
Mrs. Fang shook her head helplessly, "No."
Jiang Cheng calmed down and said, "Youyou lives a very happy and joyful life. It's probably too much for her to accept in such a short time."
"Humph, if you don't admit it, then don't admit it. I don't really care."
Jiang Cheng looked at the stubborn old lady, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and pretended not to see it.
.........
Fang Muxi and others were left at the Nan family's house for dinner, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very cheerful.
Fang Muxi looked at Nanyou, picked up a piece of sweet and sour spareribs for her, and put it into her bowl with a smile, "Youyou, come and eat spareribs."
"Thank you, Mom." Nan You thanked her obediently and picked up a piece of fish for Fang Muxi, "Mom, eat fish."
Fang Muxi felt warm in her heart, "Thank you, Youyou."
Yeats drooped his eyelashes slightly, feeling very sad, but suddenly a piece of beef brisket appeared in the bowl.
Ye Zhi looked up and saw Nanyou smiling softly at her, "Mom, this is your favorite beef brisket."
Yeats' heart instantly exploded with joy and he was no longer jealous.
"Thank you, Youyou."
Fang Muxi, who was picking up some food for Nan Sheng, caught a glimpse of this scene with a smile in his eyes.
At this moment, Xie Yang was sighing in his heart. His girlfriend was surrounded by people who cared about her, and he hadn't had a chance to talk to her for three hours.
"Youyou, I really like eating spare ribs." Fang's mother's gentle voice came.
Nanyou nodded and answered obediently: "Aunt, I really like spare ribs."
Upon hearing this, Fang Muxi deliberately inquired about her daughter's preferences, "Besides spare ribs, what else does Youyou like to eat?"
Nanyou tilted her head and thought for a moment, her eyes sparkling. "I especially like to eat all kinds of desserts and cakes. Every time I eat a cake, it feels like all my worries disappear."
Fang Muxi listened and took note of it silently.
.........
"Orange, why are you here?"
Fang Muxi and his friends had just returned home from the Nan family when they saw Jiang Cheng with a sullen face.
Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, and first greeted his parents, aunt, and uncle whom he hadn't seen for a long time, before saying dissatisfiedly, "You've all been here for many days, but you didn't contact me, so I came here by myself."
Everyone looked at each other awkwardly. Fang's mother chuckled and said, "Chengcheng, I wanted to tell you, but I got so busy that I forgot."
Fang Muxi sat next to Jiang Cheng, took her hand and said, "Chengcheng, this is all our fault. We won't do this again in the future. Please stop being angry."
Jiang Cheng was comforted, and he held his aunt's hand and nodded, "I'm not really angry, aunt."
"You're right to be angry. It's our fault."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said hesitantly, "By the way, aunt, did you guys...did you go to see Youyou today?"
"Yes, he just left me a message and went out for a few hours. Where did he go?" Old Mrs. Fang frowned and looked at her children.
Jiang Nianchu and his wife smiled at each other but did not answer.
Shang Huochuan and Fang Zhian did the same, but their eyes fell on Fang Muxi.
This kind of gaze, as well as the relaxed atmosphere around them, instantly gave Old Lady Fang a guess.
Old Madam Fang glanced at Fang Muxi and said calmly, "Is your daughter willing to recognize you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Muxi quickly turned around to look at Old Lady Fang, his eyes widening and looking more and more like Nan You.
"Mom, how did you know?" Fang Muxi's voice was full of disbelief.
Old Madam Fang snorted softly, "You guys look so cheerful when you enter the room, is it that hard to guess?"
Fang Zhian sat down next to Old Lady Fang and gave her a thumbs up, "Grandma, you are really smart."
Old Mrs. Fang glared at him, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
"Mom, Youyou called me mom today."
Fang Muxi's voice was full of excitement. When she thought of the scene where Nanyou called her "Mom", her eyes became red and moist.
Jiang Cheng took a tissue from the table and gently wiped away his aunt's tears.
Jiang Nianchu saw this scene and sighed, "Don't even mention Xixi crying. When I think of my sweet niece calling me uncle, my heart is filled with sorrow."
"Then you cry too, and I'll wipe your tears." Fang's mother joked, but in fact she had the same idea as her husband.
Jiang Nianchu looked at his wife resentfully.
Shang Huochuan sighed: "Youyou is a very well-behaved and sensible child."
How nice it would be if she was his own child. A man like Nan Xiuyuan is not qualified to have this.
Old Madam Fang looked at their red eyes and said meaningfully, "Since she is willing to recognize you, find a chance to take her back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Muxi frowned and looked at Old Lady Fang in confusion.
"Mom, didn't you promise to let Youyou make her own choice? You can't go back on your word."
"Although I also hope that Youyou lives with us, Sister Zhizhi's family is more important to her than us." Although Fang Muxi didn't want to admit it, this was the fact.
"If we force Youyou to go back with us, she will definitely be unhappy. What if she becomes estranged from me?"
Fang Muxi's voice trembled a little, fearing that the daughter he had finally gotten would disappear again.
Old Madam Fang snorted softly from her nose, her face full of disdain as she started to scold:
"Come on, why can't you keep your composure? You started crying before I even finished speaking."
Fang Muxi subconsciously retorted, "I didn't."
"Since Nanyou is the blood of our family, shouldn't you go back and let your father see her?" Old Mrs. Fang dropped her cane heavily on the ground.
Hearing this, Fang Muxi realized that she had misunderstood her mother's meaning. Embarrassed, she quickly apologized, her voice soft and coquettish, "Mom, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Old Mrs. Fang snorted coldly, too lazy to argue with her daughter who was only older than her.
"You can talk to her and find a suitable time to go home with us. Although your father has passed away, you should see your granddaughter." Old Mrs. Fang said in a very soft voice.
Fang Muxi: "Okay, Mom."
…………
The Fang family's biggest wish to come to Hai City was fulfilled, and the family atmosphere finally became much happier.
But as soon as Jiang Nianchu said this, the brief atmosphere dissipated...
