Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Don’t Make Mistakes
"Xue’er, I’m warning you. You’re already married to Qian Cheng and have a child. You can’t indulge in any flirtations. No matter how good other men are, we can’t make mistakes, understand?"
"Got it, Mom!" Jiang Xue looked at her mother with amusement, thinking this was the reason she was called over. Turns out it was this, her mother sure overthought things.
"If you know, then why did you bring a man back?" Mrs. Jiang pretended to be angry and tapped Jiang Xue’s forehead, thinking luckily the in-laws weren’t here, otherwise who knows what they would think of Jiang Xue.
"Mom, you’re overthinking it. He’s my brother." Jiang Xue laughed again, seeing her mother like this, and revealed Shangguan Wenbin’s identity.
"What brother? Don’t try to fool me. Since when do you have a brother? Last time Old Jiang said their family only had one daughter, Jiang Mingzhu, so where did you get a brother from?" Mrs. Jiang didn’t believe it at all, thinking Jiang Xue was tricking her.
"Mom, he really is my brother, my cousin!" Jiang Xue explained, "Moreover, he doesn’t share our surname, his last name is Shangguan, he’s my cousin from my mom’s side."
"From your mom’s side?" Mrs. Jiang was taken aback, looking at Jiang Xue. After a while, she spoke again, asking, "Your mom’s side of the family also tracked you down?"
"Not tracked down, more like we met by chance, and then got to know each other."
"How do you know he’s your cousin?" Mrs. Jiang was still skeptical. How could someone met on the street just become a cousin?
"This matter, well, is a bit of a long story. But rest assured, he really is my cousin, really." Jiang Xue didn’t explain how she recognized Shangguan Wenbin, nor was it easy to explain.
"Alright, since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask then." Mrs. Jiang was somewhat disappointed, but quickly recovered.
She had a good impression of Shangguan Wenbin and, compared to the Jiang family, she liked him even more. Not only was he well-mannered, but he also brought gifts. Moreover, he was good to Little Reunion, even letting Little Reunion ride on his shoulders.
Jiang Xue noticed her mother’s disappointment, but didn’t want to explain anything.
After discussing the matter, Mrs. Jiang left the kitchen. She needed to inform her husband, so he wouldn’t worry like she did.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Jiang told Father Jiang about Shangguan Wenbin’s identity, Father Jiang was relieved, and looked at Shangguan Wenbin with a more affectionate gaze.
Since he was Jiang Xue’s relative, naturally he was also their relative.
Father Jiang asked Shangguan Wenbin some simple questions, such as where he was from, who else was in his family, and how he got to know Jiang Xue and such.
Shangguan Wenbin was patient, answering each question, and then expressed his gratitude to Father Jiang. He knew that without the couple before him, he might not have had his sister.
Thus, he was very grateful for the Jiang Family Parents’ nurturing of Jiang Xue. Moreover, he had prepared gifts for the elders on this visit.
So, during a pause in the conversation, Shangguan Wenbin retrieved the gifts he had placed beside the sofa and handed them to Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, saying, "Uncle and Aunt, this is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it with a smile."
"You child, why be so polite?" Father Jiang said with a smile, then accepted the gifts. Regardless of the value, the gifts were a token of Shangguan Wenbin’s intentions and naturally had to be accepted.
Seeing the couple accept the gifts, Shangguan Wenbin’s smile deepened. Then, after chatting with Father Jiang a while longer, he went back to play with Little Reunion.
