Jiang Yu immediately replied, “I… I miss.”
Jiang Yi looked at Jiang An with a smile.
Jiang An looked at the smiles of the babies in her arms and felt as if she had the happiness of the entire world. She stood up with one arm around each of them.
In the living room, Li Mei smiled as she watched this scene. “1 guess it’s been too long since they’ve played with you. After the siblings woke up this morning, they started to be in a bad mood and kept calling for Mom.”
A trace of guilt surged in Jiang An’s heart. She looked at the two little fellows and said, “Babies, I’m sorry. Mommy has been too busy recently. I’ll play with you guys for the next few days.”
The two of them were still two to three months away from being one year old. They did not understand the meaning of the entire sentence, but they understood the word play. They immediately became excited and imitated Jiang An’s words. “Play, play!”
Seeing this, Li Mei asked with concern, “Have you finished your work at the company?”
Jiang An replied, “Almost. I’ll go and keep an eye on the renovation occasionally. The hiring has already ended. I contacted Aunt today. She’ll come to Jingdu City the day after tomorrow.”
Li Mei smiled when she heard this. “That’s good. It’s the Lantern Festival the day after tomorrow. We can celebrate it together.”
Jiang An nodded. “That’s what 1 thought too. Previously, she thought that coming to stay at our house during the New Year would cause us trouble, so she only came after the New Year. Fortunately, I called her today to urge her.”
Li Mei smiled and said, “She treats you well, so we’re family. Let’s not talk about troublesome outsiders. By the way, let’s go to your grandparents’ house tomorrow to wish them a happy new year.”
Jiang An had seen Li Mei’s siblings the last time, but she had only seen her grandparents in video calls.
Jiang An played with her daughter and son for a while. When she heard the message ring, she took out her phone to check.
Zou Bai: Are you home?
When Jiang An saw Zou Bai’s message, she remembered that she had completely forgotten about reporting her safety! Her little face frowned slightly as she hurriedly replied.
Jiang An: I’m home. Sorry, 1 forgot to send you a message.
Zou Bai: It’s okay, as long as you’re safe.
Jiang An didn’t know what to say, so she thought about it and felt that she should express her concern. After all, they had exchanged favors.
Jiang An: You’re home too, right?
The reply came quickly.
Zou Bai: I’m working overtime.
Jiang An: Oh, okay. I’ll leave you to your work. I won’t disturb you anymore.
Zou Bai was silent for a while after reading the message. He didn’t reply to the message. He turned off his phone screen and continued working.
The next day, when Jiang An followed her parents to her maternal grandparents’ house, it was another scene of tears of joy at the large-scale family reunion venue.
Old Master Li quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Li Mei held Old Madam Li’s hand. “Mom, don’t be too emotional, your heart isn’t good to begin with. Sit down.”
Old Madam Li nodded and sat back on the sofa with Li Mei’s hand. She pulled Jiang An with tears in her eyes. “It’s good that you’re back.”
After saying that, Old Madam Li looked at Li Mei. “When are you planning to hold the banquet? When An’an comes back, she has to be introduced to those people in the Beijing circle. If she gets to know them, she can make friends so that she can have connections and resources at any time.”
Jiang Hai interrupted, “I’ve discussed it with Li Mei. We plan to hold an official banquet in half a month.”
This time, Li Mei came back because firstly, she wanted to go back to her parents’ house to visit them during the new year. Secondly, she wanted to send an invitation to the banquet.
Jiang An stayed with her parents in the Li family for a day. Be it the two babies or her, they all received a lot of red packets. The amount of money in their small vaults increased a little.
The next day, the plane arrived in the afternoon. Jiang An sent Tan Rou and Andrew to the hotel to put their luggage before returning to the Jiang family.
Because of Tan Ron’s arrival, Jiang Hai specially got off work early in the afternoon and went home.
When Li Mei and Jiang Hai saw him enter, they stood up and walked forward. Jiang An gave them a simple introduction.
Jiang Hai reached out and shook Andrew’s hand. “Hello, welcome to Jingdu City!”
Li Mei greeted the two of them warmly. “You’re finally here.”
Tan Rou quickly looked at the Jiang couple and realized that Jiang An indeed looked very similar to the two of them. She nodded and replied, “Hello, we came over for the New Year. We’ll have to trouble you for the next few days.”
Li Mei immediately replied, “We’re family. It’s all thanks to you that An’an made it out okay in the Tan family in the past. An’an’s father and 1 have long wanted to see you. We have to thank you in person.”
Tan Rou smiled and shook her head. “An’an has been sensible since she was young. She said that I was the one taking care of her, but she was also my companion during that period..”
