"It’s only your dad who can handle you, you little rascal, always causing trouble at grandma’s."

Though that’s what she said, the old lady just had a special fondness for children, so a little mischief didn’t bother her.

"Hehe!" Cute giggled, pulling Jiang Mei inside, "Grandma, come quick! Let me introduce you to my brother!"

Jiu Jiu was already standing at the door. He wasn’t as excited as when he first saw Cute, and for fear of frightening the child, Jiang Mei cautiously asked, "Are you Cute’s brother, Jiu Jiu?"

Jiu Jiu wasn’t shy, and offered a smile: "Hello Grandma, I’m Jiu Jiu."

Jiang Mei had known about the two children for some time, just that she hadn’t been feeling well recently, so she hadn’t specifically made the trip to Xicheng to see them.

Her health had improved a bit recently, and besides, their wedding was tomorrow, so she took the opportunity to come back.

"I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time, just like Cute, such a well-behaved child." Jiang Mei was extremely fond of both children.

To her, they were all good, all her precious grandchildren, each and every one of them!

Gu Liancheng came over from behind and said leisurely, "Jiu Jiu is much better behaved than Cute."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Mei laughed and gently patted Jiu Jiu’s head.

"Humph! Daddy’s playing favorites!" Cute put her hands on her hips.

Qianxun also went over, crouched down, and hugged Cute, kissing her little face to comfort her: "Don’t listen to your daddy’s nonsense, my precious daughter is so well-behaved."

"Qianxun is the best!" As if finding solace, Cute threw herself into Qianxun’s arms.

Jiu Jiu shrugged his shoulders and said to Jiang Mei, "Grandma, it’s always chaotic at home, you’ll get used to it."

"Ha ha." Watching the child’s serious expression, Jiang Mei couldn’t help but laugh.

That day, the house had become even livelier with the addition of a new family member.

In the evening, Gu Liancheng was working overtime in the study, while Second Treasure was playing in the children’s room. Aunt Fang wasn’t around today, and even dinner was cooked by Jiang Mei. After dinner, she went to wash the dishes, and feeling guilty, Qianxun went to the kitchen to help.

"No need, no need, don’t help, the kitchen is so small, go play, I’ll have these few dishes washed up quickly."

"Mom, let me do the washing, you haven’t seen Cute for so long, and you’ve just met Jiu Jiu today, go play with the two kids, I can wash the dishes."

"No need!" insisted Jiang Mei, squeezing her out, "You young people shouldn’t be doing this rough work. Later my son will blame me for tiring out his pampered treasure."

Qianxun felt awkward: "Mom... it’s not that exaggerated, I’m not a hothouse flower. I grew up in the orphanage, I’m used to doing chores like this."

Jiang Mei stopped washing dishes and turned to look at her, "Liancheng has also told me a bit about your past. Your childhood must have been tough, right?"

"Um..." she did not hide, and nodded with her head lowered, "When I was first abandoned, it was especially hard. Sitting alone in the dark in the rain, I felt like I was going to die. But then I went to the orphanage, met Sister Maria and the director, they were both so kind to me. Although life was a bit tough, I am very grateful."

"The hard times are over now, my son, the best thing about him is that he is steadfast and won’t change his heart. With him being so good to you and the kids, you can rest assured."

"Right," Qianxun smiled, "That’s what I think too."

Jiang Mei looked around to make sure that Gu Liancheng wasn’t there, then lowered her voice and said to Qianxun, "Has Liancheng talked to you about his past?"
