He asked Chen Yiping in a low voice, "Which one is Miss Lu?"
He hadnât seen Lu Shuangshuang yet, so he couldnât recognize her.
And in this large family, there were many women in their thirties and forties, almost all adorned with jewels, and his old and dim eyes couldnât tell which one was Lu Shuangshuang.
Chen Yiping swept his gaze over them; as the Jiang Familyâs family doctor, he had seen Lu Shuangshuang a few times.
"The one closest to that silent rosebush in front, wearing the white and purple flower qipao with a mink shawl. Oh, and beside her are those two Jiang Family children she likes, the brother and sister."
Chen Baoshen looked in the direction he pointed.
He saw a woman with the elegance of an aristocratic family, looking over with a face full of hopeful excitement.
He was an old man, and he didnât particularly care about beauty, but that presence was unmistakably different from the girls of ordinary families.
Beside her stood the pair of children, who also appeared extremely dignifiedâa boy in a formal dress suit, a girl in a soft pink dress pants, shoulder draped with a white wool shrug, her hair curled with a clip, full of youthful brightness.
Chen Baoshen couldnât help but murmur, "Still, our Xiao Chiang is lovelier."
Chen Yiping chuckled at these words.
The old man always saw his own family as the best.
He knew Chen Baoshen treated Chiang Xiao as his own granddaughter.
Objectively speaking, indeed Chiang Xiao was beautiful. Sixth Young Master Jiang was the most handsome in the Jiang Family, so it was only natural that Chiang Xiao, being his daughter, was also striking.
It was uncertain whether Chiang Xiao would get along with her brothers and sisters when she returned.
The Great Aristocratic Family, a large family...
This thought brought him a bit of sadness.
Lu Shuangshuang and the others had been waiting for Old Master Jiang to come out, and now seeing him appear, Lu Shuangshuang walked over quickly, reaching out to support Old Master Jiang.
"Grandpa."
She had always called him Grandpa along with Sixth Young Master, and seemingly so even after Sixth Young Master disappeared. She used to call him Grandpa Jiang.
After Sixth Young Master disappeared, she came to the Jiang Family and changed the way she addressed him.
At that time, Old Master Jiang had felt very touched.
His grandson was gone, and yet his future granddaughter-in-law stepped in to call him.
"Shuangshuang, have you been getting anxious these past two days?"
Old Master Jiang sighed lightly and patted Lu Shuangshuangâs hand.
"If I said I wasnât anxious, Grandpa would surely know Iâm lying. But, whatâs a few more days of waiting when I know that seeing the date, he should return home in a completely renewed spirit, so I must wait, no matter how anxious I am."
Old Master Jiang smiled.
"Indeed, but at least heâs finally coming back. Letâs go, weâll go together to meet Xiao Sixth."
"Brother, weâve all been anxious for him too."
Fourth Master chimed in.
"Today, everyone put their affairs aside to welcome Xiao Sixth, heâll surely be delighted."
Old Master Jiang said, leading them toward the main gate.
It really looked rather grand.
Meanwhile, outside the Jiang Familyâs main gate, there was quite a crowd.
These people were curious about the current appearance of Sixth Young Master Jiang, eager to see what the scene of his return after twenty years would be like.
So outside, the crowd was thickâelderly, children, women, all gathered.
Even around the edges of the crowd, there were vendors with carts selling snacks and such, since they didnât know how long theyâd be waiting, it was a business opportunity too.
