Jiang Jin, who was sitting in Cheng Che’s car, was in a very good mood. She sighed emotionally as she said, “Jiahui’s parents and her uncle and aunt are very reasonable and educated; they’re very good people. It’s truly our fortune to have them as in-laws.”
Cheng Che smiled. “It’s because Jiahui came from such a family that she’s the way she is. They’re all very straightforward and not pretentious at all.”
“That’s right!” Jiang Jin nodded. After a moment, she said, “Your sister-in-law’s family is unreliable. I didn’t expect Jiahui’s family to be so big. They all treat your sister-in-law so well. If your family is still around, I wonder how happy they would be.”
Jiang Jin was slightly sad when she thought about this.
Cheng Che said to fort Jiang Jin, “Grandma, they’re all watching me in heaven. I’m sure they know I’m doing very well.”
Jiang Jin sighed. “You and your brother really never let me worry about anything.”
Cheng Che smiled. “You can just treat us as gifts from heaven! Not only do you have Brother, but you have an extra gift as well!” “What extra gift? How can you refer to yourself like that? In my eyes, you and your brother are the same. You’re both gifts from the heavens. The heavens are really good to me. Sometimes, I wonder if the heavens mistakenly gave me two gifts.” Cheng Che smiled. “Grandma, you’ve done many good deeds so the heavens rewarded you accordingly.”
The pair of grandmother and grandson laughed.
In Mu Chen’s car. “Jiahui’s family is very good,” Mu Chen said. He was very touched by Jiahui’s family as well.
Song Ning nodded. “After my mother passed away, the dean and his wife often invited me to their house. Whatever they bought Jiahui, they would buy for me as well. They treated me really well. Jiahui may look carefree, but she’s really observant. She always protects me and worries about me getting bullied. When Fu Le and I…” She paused for a moment to look at Mu Chen before she continued to say, “When Fu Le and I were dating, she told me more than once that there was something strange about Fu Le and Feng Man. She was really relieved when we broke up. She was angrier at Fu Le than I was. It’s my fortune to have Jiahui as a friend in this life.”
After a moment, Song Ning added, “There are also my seniors. They treat me very well. I’m truly blessed.”
Mu Chen reached out and stroked Song Ning’s hair before he said, “Kind people are blessed. That’s why you and Cheng Che are blessed.”
Song Ning could not help but ask, “Is Cheng Che not going to look for his relatives? He’s getting married, after all.” Mu Chen replied, “Grandma has never hidden his family background from him. In a family like ours, such things can’t be hidden anyway so it’s best to be honest with him. Cheng Che’s grandmother and Grandma were good friends. Back then, Cheng Che’s grandmother fell out with her family and brought her pregnant daughter-in-law to seek refuge with Grandma.”
“Then, didn’t Grandma help them make peace with their family?” Song Ning asked curiously.
Mu Chen nodded. “Of course, she did. However, there was no news after that. I was very young at that time. Later, I heard Sister Yu say that Cheng Che’s grandfather met someone outside so his grandmother fell out with him. Cheng Che’s mother was adopted and raised by his grandmother. For that reason, his grandfather chased both Cheng Che’s grandmother and mother out of the house. At that time, his mother was about to give birth so they thought his grandfather would be soft-hearted. Alas, Cheng Che’s grandfather was rather hard-hearted. Cheng Che’s father was afraid of Cheng Che’s grandfather so his father did not dare to look for Cheng Che’s mother. Due to all the stress from trying to mediate, she gave birth prematurely. When she gave birth, she bled heavily…”
Song Ning frowned. “This… This is too ridiculous.”
Mu Chen sighed. “Cheng Che’s character should be like his mother. They’re always thinking about others.”
