Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2361 - 2297: He Has a Daughter Now

Lady Eighth's heart ached profoundly. Had Xiao Sixth not wandered away from home for all those years, he would surely have a charming wife at his side by now, surrounded by his own children. How did he come to this, isolated and without a true companion?

She cast a look toward Lu Shuangshuang and addressed Jiang Shiheng, "Xiao Sixth is still quite young, and Shuangshuang is young as well. If they maintain their health properly, it's absolutely feasible for them to have children..."

"Eighth Great Aunt..."

Lu Shuangshuang's cheeks turned bright red in an instant, as she bashfully dropped her gaze.

Laughter rippled through the group.

Lady Liu chuckled warmly, "Ah Shuang, you've matured, but you're still turning that shade of pink. You've borne so much over these years, holding out for Xiao Sixth. Your affections haven't shifted, have they? Don't turn away from our Xiao Sixth."

A woman in her middle years close by joined in with a teasing smile, "From the way Ah Shuang carries herself, it's clear she's delighted by Xiao Sixth's homecoming. Our two families will soon share in another happy event."

With that, she faced Jiang Shiheng, "Sixth Young Master, I'm your sister-in-law. Back when I wed into the family, we hardly knew each other."

Cheng Cheng's eyes grew more intense as he observed Jiang Shiheng.

Clearly, Lu Shuangshuang shared strong bonds with the entire Jiang Family, treated by all as one of their own.

What's more, the whole group was convinced that the betrothal between Jiang Shiheng and Lu Shuangshuang would proceed as planned.

Jiang Shiheng displayed little outward response, merely flicking a glance toward Lu Shuangshuang.

Lu Shuangshuang returned his look with tender warmth.

"Sister Shuang, there's something I need to share with you..."

Old Master Jiang cut off Jiang Shiheng's words.

"Xiao Sixth hasn't completed what he meant to say yet." He let out a heavy sigh, "This is yet another issue on our agenda for today. Though Xiao Sixth remains unmarried, still..."

Here, his gaze shifted to Lu Shuangshuang as well.

For a brief instant, uncertainty gripped him.

That moment of doubt passed swiftly.

What if Lu Shuangshuang held a grudge against Xiao Sixth, and the Lu Family turned into an obstacle? What would happen then?

But pausing now, how could he stay loyal to his own great-granddaughter?

The vivid eyes of Jiang Xiao flickered through his thoughts.

Even teetering on the edge of death, Old Master Jiang held that family blood was paramount. Besides, Xiao Sixth's skills shown in recent days kept bolstering his faith, certain he could tread whatever challenging road lay ahead with Xiao Sixth.

Old Master Jiang steeled himself and pressed on, "He has a daughter now, who's turned eighteen. That girl is truly Xiao Sixth's own child, undeniably part of the Jiang Family."

The revelation hit like a boulder splashing into calm waters, stirring endless waves.

Shock and disbelief swept over the assembly.

Lu Shuangshuang swayed unsteadily, her complexion draining to white.

"Ah Liu, you..."

He truly has a daughter! Unwed as he is, there must have been some woman in his life?

Fourth Master Jiang's brow creased deeply, "Brother, you're saying the child is eighteen? So there was a woman right after Xiao Sixth departed? How young was Xiao Sixth at that time? Impressive work, Xiao Sixth! And all this while insisting you're unmarried!"

"Xiao Sixth, is this the truth?" Third Master Jiang and Fifth Master Jiang pressed, unable to contain themselves.

Fifth Master Jiang, typically reserved and quiet, found himself compelled to speak up.

Jiang Shiheng gave a firm nod, acknowledging it without evasion.

"Yes, I do have an eighteen-year-old daughter. She's incredibly clever, delightfully kind, and truly remarkable."

Only Cheng Cheng, Chen Baoshen, and Chen Yiping caught the gentle smile that lit Jiang Shiheng's eyes at the mention of Jiang Xiao.
