Chapter 1294: No One Could Take It
Jiang Jie was the first person to notice Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi. When he saw them, he heaved a sigh of relief, but he immediately took it back.
“Yaoyao—” Jiang Jie looked at Lu Xingzhi. When he saw the seriousness on Jiang Yao’s face, he knew that Lu Xingzhi had told her.
Jiang Jie tugged at his parents’ arms and whispered, “Yaoyao and Xingzhi are home.”
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang immediately looked out of the door. Mr. Jiang was fine, but Mrs. Jiang burst into tears when she saw Jiang Yao.
“Yaoyao…” Mrs. Jiang ran toward Jiang Yao and hugged her. “Whoever dares to steal my daughter will have step over my dead body. Yaoyao is my daughter! No one can steal her!”
Jiang Yao wanted to cry when she heard the worry and sadness in her mother’s tone. She had never seen her mother cry. Even when the family was at their most miserable, her parents were always happy. They told her that the poor could be happy too; there was no need to envy the rich. It was fine to be poor, as long as their whole family was safe and sound.
However, that strong parent had hugged her and cried.
“Mom, I am your daughter. I will always be. No one can take me away from you.” Jiang Yao released Lu Xingzhi’s hand and hugged her mother.
At that moment, Jiang Yao suddenly felt that her mother had grown old.
Her mother, who was originally taller than her, was shorter then.
She had grown up, but her mother had grown old.
Jiang Yao’s words were like a pill reassurance for her parents. Then, Mrs. Jiang lifted her hand to wipe her tears and said, “It’s not that we don’t want you to acknowledge your biological parents, but they’re too much of a bully!”
Mr. Jiang walked toward Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. “That woman!”
Mr. Jiang raised his hand and pointed at Mrs. Sun. “That woman claimed to be your biological mother. She hasn’t even seen you yet, and she’s already clamoring for a divorce between you and Lu Xingzhi! Even if she’s your biological mother, don’t acknowledge her. That woman is unreasonable! ”
“How am I unreasonable?” Mrs. Sun’s eyes had also reddened. She tried to pull Jiang Yao away, but the younger woman dodged her. Her outstretched hand missed, and she immediately cried. “Child, do you hate me? It’s not that I don’t want you. They deceived me, and then you were gone. When I saw you, I felt a closeness between us. I wanted to be close to you. God must have treated me well since they let you live.”
Mrs. Sun’s tears fell. “Child, I’m so sorry. You are still in high school, and yet you were forced to marry. I feel sorry for you. My child, if you had not left my side, you would be very carefree today. Why would you stay with your in-laws? You guys are so young; how would you know what a marriage is? I’m afraid that you will follow in my footsteps when I was young and end up with a heart-wrenching ending.”
That fool finally saw Jiang Yao. He pushed everyone aside and ran toward Jiang Yao. “Wife! Wife! You’re back? Let’s go home. I’ll take you home.”
“Hey, hey, hey! Son, that isn’t your wife. That is your daughter!” An old woman quickly pulled her son away and explained patiently. She pointed at Mrs. Sun and explained, “That is your wife, and that’s your daughter.”
