Chapter 166: Adoptive Parents
That way, he would be able to see his little sister’s speech that day. He would definitely gain a profit from it!
Jiang Zeyu silently made up his mind but did not discuss it with Jiang Yu.
He wanted to give his little sister a surprise on the day of the parent-teacher conference!
…
The parent-teacher conference was held as scheduled.
On this day, An Yimin woke up early.
He put on his most expensive shirt. The shirt had been starched and ironed. It sat neatly on his frame.
He straightened his collar and cuffs in front of the mirror. Xun Shaorong had woken up early and was busying about in the kitchen.
She asked as she steamed the buns, “Do you want to bring some to the school? Yu Yu used to love eating the buns I make.”
An Yimin shook his head. “Today is the weekend. I’m only going to attend the parent-teacher conference. Yu Yu won’t be at school. I won’t be seeing her, so there’s no need to bring any.”
Xun Shaorong stopped what she was doing and sighed. “That’s true. How could I have forgotten? Sigh, I wonder how Yu Yu is doing.”
An Yimin reminded her, “I’ve told you a few times already. Yu Yu has gone back to the Jiang family to enjoy her life. Think about it. The Jiang family is wealthy. They have everything they could ever want. How could they let Yu Yu continue to suffer with us?”
That family has been looking for Yu Yu for so many years and has even taken the initiative to bring her home. They definitely won’t mistreat her. She must be doing well. Don’t worry.”
Xun Shaorong wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen. She said with a gloomy expression, “Of course, I know this but I’ve always treated Yu Yu as my own. I’ve raised her for over more than ten years. The thought of parting with her always saddens me.”
“Besides, you’ve already said that the Jiang family is a wealthy family. I don’t know if Yu Yu will be used to it when she goes there. I know that the Jiang family has a very outstanding daughter but Yuyu has been raised by us since she was young. Will she… be unable to compete with her in some aspects?”
“You know that Yu Yu is just a child. Although she doesn’t say it, she has a very strong will. If she hadn’t been struck by that serious illness back then… she wouldn’t have studied so hard and her grades wouldn’t be this good.”
“Every time I think about this, I feel guilty and my heartaches. It’s my fault for not taking good care of her…”
“Forget it, it’s all in the past now.”
Although An Yimin also felt guilty, he didn’t want his wife to live in self-blame.
“We didn’t want her to have a star-studded life. She just needs to be able to live her life happily. Although I don’t earn much, it’s enough to support the two of you.”
“However, no matter how hard I try, I can’t compare to the life the Jiang family can give her. It’s good fortune that Yu Yu can return to the Jiang family and become the eldest daughter. How many people would have such an opportunity?”
An Yimin comforted her, “Her good fortune had just begun. Don’t worry too much.”
Xun Shaorong sighed. “I hope so.”
However, she was still a little worried. “But if Yu Yu is really doing well in the Jiang family, why would Teacher Zhao’s text message be sent to your number?”
“Could it be that the Jiang family dotes on Second Miss Jiang more and doesn’t care about Yu Yu, so no one is attending the parent-teacher conference on her behalf, and that’s why they looked for you?”
As she spoke, she became even more worried. “Say, Yu Yu hasn’t contacted us for so long. Is this silly child afraid that we’ll worry about her and doesn’t want to hurt us?”
An Yimin pretended to be displeased and glared at her. “I told you so much just now for nothing. Don’t think too much about it. That definitely won’t happen.”
“When I go to school, I’ll ask teacher Zhao about her situation. Don’t worry!”
…
Jiang Yu arrived at school according to the agreed time.
She looked at the back of a middle-aged man standing not too far away and felt that he looked a little familiar.
