Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 467 Daughter-in-law and Younger Brother-in-law
Chapter 467: Chapter 467 Daughter-in-law and Younger Brother-in-law
"Auntie, please don’t cry anymore, or your makeup will run and you’ll look ugly," Jiang Ying said, genuinely happy.
Auntie would never have to be sad, all alone, ever again.
"Right, I won’t cry, Jiang Ying, please help me get ready, I need makeup that enhances my complexion," Jiang Qiong wiped her tears, crying and laughing at the same time.
Her complexion hadn’t been great these past few days, and she didn’t want him to see her and worry.
"Okay, I’ll do it now," Jiang Ying smiled as she said it. With Uncle awake, Auntie looked completely revitalized, as if she were several years younger.
Xiao Jingchang’s awakening had stirred the entire Xiao Family; everyone went out to greet him or to verify whether the news was true.
"Big brother, is it really you!" Third Master Xiao’s expression was exaggerated upon seeing the person in the wheelchair.
"Big brother, it’s really wonderful that you could wake up," Fourth Young Master Xiao felt the same.
Xiao Jingchang nodded slightly, "Third brother, fourth brother, you’ve had a hard time while I was asleep."
"It wasn’t hard at all."
The two men exchanged courtesies, sharing a glance.
They had not expected the person who had been in a coma for five years to suddenly wake up; it was indeed not to their advantage.
"Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle really didn’t have a hard time," Xiao Chen’s thin lips moved slightly, his indifferent gaze sweeping over them, making their smiles stiffen.
Xiao Jingchang frowned slightly, "Chen’er, that’s not how you talk to your elders."
Although he said this, there wasn’t a hint of blame in his voice.
The two men’s expressions eased somewhat.
Xiao Jingchang, looking at the familiar courtyard and decorations, recalled memories from days past and heaved a long sigh, "Five years, I didn’t expect the house hasn’t changed at all."
"Of course, we all thought it was time to replace these old things, but sister-in-law insisted on keeping them," Third Master Xiao truly didn’t understand Jiang Qiong’s actions.
What era was it now? Those old things should have been replaced long ago, yet she insisted on keeping them. Anyone who didn’t know better would think the Xiao family couldn’t afford the renovation.
"Aqiong is sentimental," Xiao Jingchang clenched the fabric of his trousers over his thighs. After five years, he didn’t know how she was.
"Big brother, we won’t disturb your family reunion any longer."
After Third Master Xiao and Fourth Young Master Xiao left, Xiao Chen pushed him further inside.
Jiang Qi and Zhai Quan each went home, not to disturb their family gathering.
Jiang Qiong had just finished getting ready and came downstairs, only to see Xiao Jingchang already at the entrance. There were a few steps she simply couldn’t bring herself to descend, and she stood there as if rooted to the spot, her eyes locked with his.
Tears of joy uncontrollably streamed down Jiang Qiong’s face as she trembled, "Brother Chang."
"Aqiong," Xiao Jingchang’s voice also trembled slightly. During the time he was unconscious, he dreamt of her every day, sometimes feeling as if she was right beside him, talking to him.
Jiang Qiong took a big step forward, only then noticing he was sitting in a wheelchair, "Your leg..."
Xiao Jingchang held onto her, "My leg is fine, it’s just that the muscles are a bit atrophied from recovery and need some time to recuperate."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiong finally relaxed, her eyes only on him, "As long as you’re awake, that’s good."
Even if he had become disabled, she had resolved to stick by him for life.
"Uncle," Jiang Ying called out.
Xiao Jingchang then realized who she was and paused, "Are you Yingying?"
"Yes, yes, it’s me," Jiang Ying bobbed her little head, smiling, "I didn’t expect Uncle to recognize me."
When Uncle was in a coma, she was just thirteen years old, and her appearance now was completely different from that time.
Back then, she was chubby with a round face, but now she was a beautiful young woman.
Xiao Jingchang smiled and said, "It’s amazing how much a young lady can change. I didn’t expect Jiang Ying to grow up so much."
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered he had a daughter-in-law, but she seemed to want to keep her identity secret, so he didn’t ask about it this time.
"Who would’ve thought," began Jiang Qiong, "Son, tonight you should bring Yueyue and Xuan Ze over for dinner, it’s a rare good day, we must celebrate."
Xiao Jingchang feigned ignorance, "Who are those two?"
"They’re our daughter-in-law and young brother-in-law," Jiang Qiong said with a laugh. "Surprising, isn’t it? This kid has finally taken action, knowing to find me a daughter-in-law, and moreover, such an outstanding one."
Speaking of Yun Yue, the smile on Jiang Qiong’s face deepened.
Xiao Jingchang’s gaze flickered ever so slightly; he, of course, knew Yun Yue was outstanding. What he didn’t expect was Aqiong’s extraordinary satisfaction with her.
However, her appearance...
A doubt lingered in Xiao Jingchang’s heart, is Yun Yue really his child?
Xiao Chen glimpsed Xiao Jingchang’s slight change in expression without leaving a trace.
"Yingying, you should also call your mother over, your father’s probably too busy."
"Sure, I’ll call her now," Jiang Ying said with a smile. It had been a long time since she had seen her aunt so happy.
"I’ll cook..." As Jiang Qiong spoke, she began to instruct Housekeeper Xiao to buy groceries.
She didn’t notice that upon her words, the faces of everyone in the room changed.
"Cough cough cough..." Xiao Jingchang started coughing.
"Brother Chang, are you alright?" Jiang Qiong looked at him worriedly, "Do you have some other condition you haven’t told me about?"
The corners of Xiao Chen’s lips twitched slightly as he pulled out his phone.
Xiao Jingchang strained to force a sickly expression, "I’m fine, just a little happy, Aqiong, how can we let you cook when it’s such a rare reunion, Xiao Chen has already booked a private room at Tianshi Restaurant, we can just go there to eat."
"You make sense, let’s go to Tianshi Restaurant then," Jiang Qiong agreed, oblivious to their strange reactions.
She hadn’t noticed that behind her, both Jiang Ying and Housekeeper Xiao sighed in relief upon her agreement.
If she were to cook, the kitchen would undeniably turn into a mess, and they wouldn’t dare to eat the food she prepared.
That evening, the family joyfully proceeded to Tianshi Restaurant.
Xiao Chen went straight to Jing University.
The evening at Jing University was the most beautiful, with the sky painted like it had been stained with colors. At this moment, Xiao Chen leaned against his twenty billion car, the setting sun enveloping him, appearing like a princely figure, aloof and noble.
His face, sharp like a chiseled sculpture, with deep and three-dimensional features, eagle-like eyes sharp and resolute, was akin to a male protagonist walking straight out of a comic, capturing the hearts of countless young girls.
"That’s the same car as last time, right? And this guy is..."
"That’s the car, there’s only one in the entire world. Last time, it was a freshman from our school who drove it. Later, it was rumored by a classmate of that student that the car belonged to his brother-in-law."
"Then this man must be his brother-in-law!"
Many women started discussing from a distance.
"Wowza! That girl in her past life must have saved the entire galaxy, only then could she have such a handsome and wealthy husband in this life. I’m so jealous I could die!"
"I’m already going insane with jealousy."
Women nearby eyed Xiao Chen like hungry wolves, such a man was the epitome of what they dreamt of.
It was just too bad they didn’t stand a chance.
"Shen Xuan, Shen Xuan, look quickly, that man is so handsome," Qu Yingying held onto Shen Xuan’s arm, excited beyond words.
Her eyes were sharp, spotting a watch worth millions, clothes that were privately tailored, and that car...
Qu Yingying’s face changed. Wasn’t that car the same one Yun Yue’s brother drove last time?
With only one of its kind in the whole world, then who was this man?
Shen Xuan had already noticed Xiao Chen, envy and bitterness flashing through her eyes.
This man... no one in Beijing dares to provoke him, yet he is Yun Yue’s fiancé.
Shen Xuan truly couldn’t understand, back then Yun Yue was just a new transfer student at First Middle School, why did he treat Yun Yue with such special regard.
