Chapter 25: This Door Will Always Be Open to You
"How does that work! Xiao Xiao, Mom and Dad can’t bear to lose you either! But your biological parents are officials! Our families are different, Mom and Dad might hold you back."
Jiang Lao Shi also couldn’t bear to part with the child he had raised! When Jiang Xiaoxiao said those words just now, he genuinely felt that it was worthy of being his child.
She’s a child with a good conscience.
If Jiang Xiaoxiao had been intent on going with the Fang family, their hearts would have turned cold.
But their Xiao Xiao really hadn’t let their care go to waste.
She actually said she wouldn’t leave! She would continue to be a Jiang family child and not switch back.
What does this imply.
Jiang Xiaoxiao gave up on her outstanding parents, insisting on staying with them. What could they give Xiao Xiao?
This child is so endearing.
Fan Xiuying almost hugged Jiang Xiaoxiao, crying uncontrollably.
Her Xiao Xiao is too kind.
"No, you can’t! Xiao Xiao, you must return to your biological parents. Xiao Xiao, dear child, Mom and Dad are fine, we’re fine!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao stubbornly shook her head, "No! Mom and Dad! If Sister Xiaohui doesn’t come back, I won’t go; I can’t let Mom and Dad be left childless. I can be your child; I will always be your child. Sister Xiaohui has already adapted to life with the Fang family, let her continue living with the Fang family! I will live with our family! We’re still a family, aren’t we? Mom and Dad, don’t you want to keep me here? Don’t you love me anymore?"
She would absolutely not let her parents suffer the same pain they did in a previous life.
No one can make that happen.
Fang Xiaohui was anxious.
What’s going on with Jiang Xiaoxiao? If you want to go back, that’s fine, but why drag me into it?
Whether I return or not, what does it have to do with you?
Fang Zhixin and Xu Min couldn’t help but sigh, truly, this child is a good one. It’s commendable how thoroughly she considers her adoptive parents.
She can decisively give up the comfortable conditions of her original family, yet she chooses to stay by her adoptive parents’ side.
This child has a good conscience.
She’s not lacking in character.
From this alone, one can see that the Jiang family is good people, with respectable morals, or they wouldn’t have raised such a child.
Fang Xiaohui was at a loss! What to do?
Jiang Xiaoxiao won’t go to the Fang family! Then there will be no one to take Fang Peizhong’s place for rural assignments, and it surely would fall to her.
"Xiao Xiao, Mom and Dad really miss you. Mom cries every night, if you don’t come back, Mom’s eyes will go blind from crying. Xiao Xiao, just come back. I, I can come back here, isn’t that okay."
She gritted her teeth and agreed.
Whether she returns or not, it’s not up to her to decide. She would first trick Jiang Xiaoxiao into coming back, and once Jiang Xiaoxiao had left for the rural areas, she would return herself.
It’s not like Jiang Lao Shi’s couple could stop her.
Jiang Xiaoxiao lifted her head, and with a mocking glance at Fang Xiaohui, unabashedly aiding Ye Hua’s malevolent schemes.
Can she be willing to return to the Jiang family and be their daughter?
Then what was her behavior in her past life for?
"Sister Xiaohui! Will you truly come back? Really, I am so happy. Mom and Dad, Sister is willing to come back to accompany you, Mom and Dad, I am truly so happy."
Who can’t act?
Having never performed in her previous life, but that wouldn’t hinder her from acting along.
Fan Xiuying looked at her biological daughter with a complex expression.
Is this her biological daughter?
Though they had identical looks, Fan Xiuying somehow couldn’t muster that sense of closeness from her heart.
Fan Xiuying silently scolded herself, that’s your biological daughter, how can you treat this child like that.
Lovingly she pulled the child next to her, "Xiaohui, Mom is delighted, truly delighted that you’ll come back. Mom is so happy."
She must not let the child feel cold-hearted, but she couldn’t help comparing Fang Xiaohui with Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao seemed like her real mother and daughter, without any barriers, while Fang Xiaohui always felt awkward, also seeming foreign to them.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled.
Coming back is great.
Let’s then slowly reveal your true self.
In the previous life, Fang Xiaohui showed no familial affection at all towards her parents. After she married into the Song family, she almost severed all ties with everyone.
Living impressively! Yet when her parents needed treatment during illness, Fang Xiaohui actually coldly said: you haven’t raised me for a day, why should I support you.
It broke Fan Xiuying and Jiang Lao Shi’s hearts.
To know that for this daughter to happily marry, Fan Xiuying and Jiang Lao Shi sold their home to gather a dowry for Fang Xiaohui.
So their daughter wouldn’t feel they mistreated her. freewebnoveℓ.com
Of course, Jiang Xiaoxiao knew her parents secretly also prepared a dowry for her.
Even in dire health needing money quickly, Jiang Lao Shi and Fan Xiuying didn’t feel it right to use that money.
It shows how much the parents truly loved her.
"Alright! Since we managed to settle things, the two children can formally be exchanged, Xiao Xiao will come back with us to visit your parents and family, tomorrow we will sit together properly to clear up things so both families can treat each other as relatives, allowing the two children to visit one another, since both have raised the children, this kind of family bond is not easily severed."
Fang Zhixin was different from Fang Zhiyuan, his vision was broader, and he had a larger heart, after all, they have different outlooks.
His words were enlightening, making people feel comfortable inside.
Xu Min looked at Xiao Xiao and thought, this girl is indeed different from Ye Hua, her temperament is indeed like their Zhixin. If she truly were like Ye Hua, she’d probably not like her either,
Perhaps Jiang family’s parents both have broad personalities.
Isn’t there a saying, you learn from those around you.
Look at Fang Xiaohui, she exudes the small-mindedness of Ye Hua, not to mention her mindset is exactly like Ye Hua’s couple.
Narrow in vision.
Very difficult for people to like.
"Xiao Xiao, let’s go! Aunt will take you, don’t be afraid, Aunt and Uncle are there with you, no need to bring clothes, first visit your parents and grandparents, tomorrow we’ll come back to get them." Xu Min held Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hand, the warmth made people a bit uneasy.
Jiang Xiaoxiao turned to look at Fan Xiuying and Jiang Lao Shi.
Fan Xiuying’s eyes were brimming with tears, barely holding them back.
Jiang Lao Shi’s face looked unpleasant too, "Xiao Xiao! Don’t be afraid! They are your real Mom and Dad, they will treat you well, if you can’t adjust, come back! Our door will always be open for you, Xiao Xiao, don’t be stubborn, understand?"
Endless reminders, but in their hearts, their daughter suddenly is about to leave! So unexpectedly unbearable.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at her parents with determination and turned away.
Fang Xiaohui tried to follow, but Xu Min stopped her.
"Xiaohui! You stay here tonight, your parents just lost a daughter, by feelings and logic you should remain to comfort them, they are your biological parents, you need to console them! Take care of them. Tomorrow we’ll visit you, okay! Listen well!"
It wasn’t her wanting to be the villain.
If Fang Xiaohui also left, and on the road Jiang Xiaoxiao remembered that her parents would have nobody with them and ran away, their efforts would be wasted.
Fang Xiaohui could only watch as Xu Min and the others left.
Sitting despondently on the small bench in the courtyard, with a sulky face, silent and without a cheerful demeanor.
