Chapter 987: Chapter 988 Enthusiastic and Friendly Chapter 987: Chapter 988 Enthusiastic and Friendly Xu Linjiang was the one who opened the door, and he didnât recognize Chiang Yuequn. There didnât seem to be such a person in his memory of the two families, so he was taken aback when he saw Chiang Yuequn.
âWho are you looking for?â
âIâm looking for my second uncle and aunt.â Chiang Yuequn had a rough idea when he saw Xu Linjiang. He had asked Zou Xiaoling a lot on the way and knew that Chiang Xiao and the others were living with Ge Dejunâs family. Judging by this manâs age, he was probably Chiang Xiaoâs maternal uncle-by-marriage. He followed with an explanation, âMy name is Chiang Yuequn.â
As soon as he heard the name Chiang Yuequn, Xu Linjiang understood immediately.
To tell the truth, he was genuinely startled.
The person he had always heard of but had never returned suddenly appeared before his eyes, and Xu Linjiang still didnât quite know how to react.
âAre my second uncle and aunt at home? Or, is Chiang Xiao at home?â
Chiang Yuequn asked again, and only then did Xu Linjiang come back to his senses. Because of the Old Chiang Familyâs nature, he was still a bit cautious and didnât step aside to let him in right away, but instead turned and called into the house, âLittle!â
Chiang Xiao was playing with Little Snowball and Little Bean Bun, cradling Snowball in her arms, when she heard his call and came over with the kitten. âUncle, whatâs up? Are you looking for me?â
Chiang Yuequn saw a radiant young girl approaching.
Her face was a translucent pale pink, her eyes as clear as gemstones, with a delicate nose and cherry lips that made everything around her seem like mere backdrops.
Chiang Yuequn exclaimed in disbelief, âYouâre Little? No way?â
Chiang Xiao had walked up behind Xu Linjiang and saw him.
ââŠChiang Yuequn?â
She recognized Chiang Yuequn instantly because he looked a bit like someone of that age should look, and it was undoubtedly him.
âIs it really you?â Chiang Yuequn took a step towards the door, but Xu Linjiang still blocked the entrance, preventing him from coming in. He glanced at Xu Linjiang, âMay I come in?â
Xu Linjiang looked at Chiang Xiao and seeing her nod slightly, he finally stepped aside.
As soon as Chiang Yuequn entered, he opened his arms wide towards Chiang Xiao, âLittle, itâs been three years, hasnât it? Come on, give your uncle a hug!â
HugâŠ
So far, Chiang Yuequn seemed different from the other members of the Old Chiang Family.
Chiang Xiao dodged his embrace in a swift motion.
With one hand holding Little Snowball and the other petting its smooth fur, she sized up Chiang Yuequn.
Chiang Yuequn was only four years her senior, a young man under twenty. And indeed, he was the best-looking among all the Chiang Family members. However, Chiang Xiao didnât judge a personâs character by their looks, so even though Chiang Yuequn seemed quite refined and handsome to her, and he naturally showed his fondness and closeness to her, she was still unaffected inside.
âUncle? It really has been a long time, hasnât it?â She smiled, âWhen did you get back?â
She did want to know what Chiang Yuequn had come for.
âJust got back, just arrived home. I bought some gifts in the provincial city and wanted to visit my second uncle. But when I got to the house, Iron General had locked the door!â Chiang Yuequn pointed to two bags he had casually placed by the doorstep, and smiled, âThen I went back and asked Dad, and he said you guys are living in town now, so here I am!â
Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were in the kitchen and had also heard him talking, so they came out.
âYuequn is back?â
Chiang Yuequn immediately walked towards him, âSecond uncle!â
âEh, eh! Itâs really you who came back! I was still thinking I might have heard wrong!â Chiang Songhai joyfully slapped his shoulder, âYouâve grown taller!â
