Chapter 1606: Chapter 1608: I’m Very Happy

The people she had encountered before were all individuals who already existed in her previous life, just with different trajectories.

But now, there was suddenly an entirely new person—a figure who had never appeared in her previous life!

A new character added to the story!

For the first time, Chiang Xiao felt that her life truly, completely, and utterly had changed!

She was stunned for a long while, to the point that Meng Xinian couldn’t help but feel worried.

“Little, what’s wrong?” he lowered his voice and asked, “Are you upset? Unable to accept it? It’s okay, sweetheart, you still have me.”

He thought that maybe Chiang Xiao would feel like she had been pushed aside now that her grandparents had a child of their own.

Chiang Xiao felt both amused and exasperated by what he said.

“I’m not upset, just a little shocked and still trying to process it. This is great! I’m going to have a little auntie or uncle, and they’re my blood relative!”

Meng Xinian immediately felt a wave of relief. He could hear the smile in her tone and knew she meant it sincerely.

“Your grandparents must have been shocked, huh? How’s your grandma doing now?”

Meng Xinian glanced back at the embarrassed and slightly ashamed Chiang Family elders, who still had their heads lowered. “Your grandma threw up once, but she’s fine now. But they’re clearly quite distressed and seem to be struggling to accept it all—they even feel too embarrassed to face people.”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

Chiang Xiao had read plenty of news in the past about older couples having children, or situations where the father and son or even grandfather and grandson were born in the same year. The world was vast, and all sorts of things happen—besides, this wasn’t even something disgraceful.

Over the past few years, her grandparents had been drinking lots of Ganoderma water and Ginseng water from the Space, snacking on treats infused with Spiritual Spring Water. Their health had been improving every day. Given how good their relationship was to begin with, having a child now wasn’t all that surprising.

“Give the phone to Grandma. Let me talk to her.”

Meng Xinian immediately turned to Ge Liutao and said, “Grandma, Little wants to talk to you.”

Ge Liutao jumped in surprise and quickly nudged Chiang Songhai. “Uncle Hai, you… you go talk to Little.”

She really didn’t have the face to speak right now.

Chiang Songhai had no choice but to walk over.

He was so nervous and uneasy that he practically stumbled with his movements.

“Grandpa, congratulate me!” As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard Chiang Xiao say this, and he was immediately stunned.

Congratulate her for what?

“Congratulate me on having a new little auntie or uncle! Grandpa, our family has always been so small, and after everything we’ve been through these years, don’t you think that a little auntie or uncle is heaven’s way of compensating us?”

“Little,” Chiang Songhai’s throat tightened as he said, “Don’t you think your grandma and I are being a bit disgraceful?”

“Disgraceful? What’s disgraceful about this? It’s a great thing! Besides, Grandpa and Grandma, you’re still young at heart. Anyway, I’m genuinely happy—truly, truly happy!”

Her joy was contagious, spreading to Chiang Songhai as well.

“Also, you’re not even in Siyang Village anymore, so just live your lives well. Don’t listen to the gossip from those busybodies in the village. In the future, when our family thrives, they’ll be too envious to say anything.”

“Grandpa, I’m really thrilled about this. You don’t need to worry about anything or care about what others say. I’ll take good care of my little uncle!”

Without realizing it, Chiang Songhai was swayed by her words, and his heart felt at ease. Hearing her talk like this, he couldn’t help but smile.

“You seem pretty sure it’s going to be a little uncle, huh?”

“A little uncle or a little auntie—it doesn’t matter. But I just have a feeling it’ll be a little uncle! Either way, I’ll have a real uncle now. That Deng Qingjiang was just a pretend uncle—I don’t want anything to do with him!”
