Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself-Chapter 829 - 839: It Can’t Be Wrong
"No, she is, she is Jie’s child, she is my granddaughter, there’s no mistake," Old Mr. Shen said forcefully, stepping forward and trembling as he took An Ran’s hand.
"I know you are, there’s no mistake, child, don’t be afraid, don’t be scared. The first time I saw you, I felt you were one of us, part of the Shen Family. I may be old, but I’m not confused. I know you’ve suffered outside all these years. I failed to investigate the past thoroughly, failed to find you in time. Child, can you forgive your grandpa? Come back; grandpa has missed you for twenty years."
An Ran turned around, seeing Old Mr. Shen’s face full of tears and anticipation; those bright eyes now carried a pleading look.
"Child, come back, don’t be afraid, grandpa will love you."
"Your uncle and aunt will love you too," Shen Zheng continued.
"And us, Ran, I didn’t expect you to be my cousin. No wonder you felt so familiar the first time we met. Blood ties are truly amazing. Ran, come home, the Shen Family welcomes you," Shen Wenxuan was surprised by the link he shared with the girl he cared so much about.
Mu Wanxin clapped her hands, exclaimed excitedly, "Ran, we were meant to be family all along."
"Yes, it seems our families are going to be even closer now." Grandma Mu dried her tears, a smile lingering at the corners of her eyes.
An Ran, eyes full of tears, looked at the familiar yet sincere faces, her heart surging, finally gazing at Old Mr. Shen, "Grandpa."
"Ah, good girl, good girl. Come on, I want to announce to the world, my granddaughter Shen Haotian is back."
"Father," Shen Zheng called out. After all, An Ran’s age didn’t match that of the lost child. He didn’t oppose his father’s recognition of An Ran as his granddaughter, but since the matter wasn’t clear, he felt guilty toward both the child and his younger sister.
Just as he was about to voice his concerns, a hand pressed down, "Uncle Shen, An Ran is nineteen."
Shen Zheng turned his head, looking at Mu Xingfeng beside him with an enigmatic expression, seemingly not hearing his words clearly.
"An Ran actually just turned nineteen. It’s just for some unknown reason, her adoptive father reported her age two years older when he adopted her. She already had memory by then, knowing her real age."
Mu Xingfeng, as he explained this to Shen Zheng, had already determined that An Ran was indeed the Shen Family’s granddaughter.
Xia Yuzhu had known An Ran for almost a year, but never mentioned it. Returning to the Shen Family at this time to recognize the bond was definitely after confirming An Ran’s identity.
On this day, two major events occurred in the Imperial City: the first was the century wedding between the Shen and Mu Families, the second was the sudden emergence of Miss An Ran, who was dubbed the Imperial City’s leading socialite with a gold-embedded and diamond-inlaid title.
Apart from previously being publicly announced by Old Mr. Mu as the new head mistress of the Mu Family, Old Mr. Shen followed suit, announcing the discovery of his granddaughter lost for twenty years, who was none other than the Mu Family’s new head mistress.
For a time, the entire upper circle of the Imperial City, including military, political, and business circles, knew who shouldn’t be provoked now, of course, it’s Miss An Ran.
Not to mention Young Master Mu’s fierce protective streak, even gaining Old Mr. Shen’s approval wouldn’t be easy. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
The wedding didn’t completely end until evening, with guests bidding farewell, leaving only Lin, Mu, and Shen Families and the Five Young Masters of the Imperial to attend the evening banquet, a celebration the Shen Family held for An Ran joining the family.
