Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2359: 2295: Treated as Kin

Old Master Jiang worried that Ah Liu had only recently finished his operation and might not have recuperated completely yet.

Lady Eighth believed that after being absent from home for two full decades, it was understandable to experience some adjustment difficulties upon coming back. It reminded her of her own marriage to the city next door; even though the distance wasn't great, she had felt terribly displaced when she first arrived and endured quite a bit of hardship for several days.

Thus, upon hearing what Cheng Cheng said, they overlooked who he was and started calling out in concern right away.

“Stop standing then, hurry and fetch a chair for the Sixth Young Master to use.”

A chair was promptly brought over, allowing Jiang Shiheng to take a seat right in the center of the hall.

Cheng Cheng remained by his side and whispered, “Godfather, would you mind introducing me to the relatives now? I worry they might see me as an intruder and throw me out.”

His statement caused numerous people to stare in astonishment, their eyes growing wide.

With him repeatedly addressing him as Godfather, it was clear that everyone had already figured out the bond between him and Jiang Shiheng.

Still, the details of their meeting and his background remained a mystery to all.

Supported by Jiang Yunqing, Lu Shuangshuang managed to steady herself, gripping her handkerchief firmly as she continued dabbing at her tears while gazing at Jiang Shiheng.

The mood in the room had been broken by Cheng Cheng's interruption, and if she pushed ahead at this point, she'd only make herself look ridiculous.

As a result, that chance vanished in an instant.

She couldn't even determine if Cheng Cheng had done it on purpose or by accident.

Jiang Shiheng responded, “Of course, I'll present him to the family. Grandpa, this is Cheng Cheng, my adopted son. We've relied on each other for years, and he's looked after me so well that in my eyes, he's just like my biological child.”

Old Master Jiang turned his gaze to Cheng Cheng and nodded approvingly, “Fine, fine young one, you've toiled plenty these years. From here on, this place is your home as well—call me Great Grandpa.”

Fourth Master Jiang cut in without delay, “Wait a moment!”

Both Jiang Shiheng and Cheng Cheng directed their attention toward him.

“Big brother, doesn't this seem off?” Fourth Master Jiang shot a look at Cheng Cheng, “Naturally, I hold no prejudice toward the boy, but the Jiang Family is vast and powerful, so certain matters require thoughtful deliberation, lest conflicts and complications arise that are hard to resolve.”

“Laosi, what are you getting at?” Old Master Jiang inquired calmly.

“My point is, seeing as this boy is Xiao Sixth’s adopted son, why not regard him as a partial Jiang family member and interact with him as kin?”

Interacting with him as kin…

That stood in stark contrast to fully integrating into the Jiang Family.

Cheng Cheng let out a silent scoff inside.

They actually believed he was desperate to join the Jiang Family.

Were it not for his godfather's relatives, were it not Jiang Xiao's household, he wouldn't give it a second thought.

This Fourth Master Jiang…

Was something wrong with him?

Yet, out of all the Jiang family present, he alone had voiced an objection, suggesting that the majority stayed remarkably level-headed.

For the moment, at least, no firm judgments could be made.

Before Old Master Jiang could reply, Jiang Shiheng offered a subtle smile and stated, “Fourth Uncle, as I said earlier, Cheng Cheng and I share a bond like true father and son. Being my son, he is undoubtedly part of the Jiang Family. If Fourth Uncle finds it unsuitable, then the Jiang Family means only our direct line. Oh, and my sister has already recognized him as her nephew.”

Jiang Yingqiong had recognized him as her nephew as well…

No matter the situation, given Jiang Yingqiong’s position, nobody would openly challenge it for the time being.
