Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jiang Long stopped Su Jin when he saw that she was about to leave. This was his niece’s first time at his home. How could she leave without having a meal? If word got out, people would think they he, as her uncle, didn’t even invite her for a family meal! Jiang Long pulled Su Jin and said quickly,
“Su Jin, don’t go yet. It’s lunchtime soon. Your aunt and your three older brothers will be back soon. Let’s eat together.”
Su Jin was very surprised. She didn’t expect to have three older cousins. Her uncle was so amazing, he had so many children and they were all sons! How did he raise her three cousins? Su Jin asked curiously,
“Uncle, three sons?”
Jiang Long nodded. His three sons were his pride. All of them studied well and never made him worry. Plus, all of them were of good character. Now that his sister was gone, he must take good care of his niece. Jiang Long looked at Su Jin lovingly and said,
!!
“That’s right. Right now, we don’t know if you mom is dead or alive. We are your family. Your aunt, your brothers and I will take care of you.”
Su Jin felt the sincerity in Jiang Long’s voice and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. It felt good to have family. Being loved by family would bring her a lot of joy in future. Thinking that she would meet her aunt and cousins soon, Su Jin nodded and said to Jiang Long,
“Then I’ll have to trouble Uncle. Sorry for imposing on you today.”
Jiang Long waved his hand. He was very happy to hear that Su Jin would stay for lunch. His niece was too polite. They were all family, so there was no need to be so polite. Wouldn’t this be her home in future? She could come here anytime when she missed home. Jiang Long stood up as he said,
“It’s no trouble. You sit here for a while. I’ll go and call your aunt and cousins.”
Jiang Long then took his phone and walked out of the study. He called and asked his wife and children to come back for lunch and to meet Su Jin. Shortly after, Jiang Long came back to the study all smiles, like he had encountered some great news. Jiang Long said happily to Su Jin,
“Su Jin, your brothers are usually busy with work and often travel for business. Luckily, they are all in capital city today. Your aunt is even busier but when all of them heard that they are going to meet you, they agreed to drop everything and come back for lunch.”
Su Jin suddenly felt a little shy, but she couldn’t let her uncle down. Her uncle’s entire family was usually so busy, but for her sake, they put aside their work to have lunch with her. Su Jin asked curiously,
“Uncle, what lines of work are my aunt and brothers in?”
Jiang Long was very happy when he heard Su Jin’s question. It meant that Su Jin was willing to accept his family, and they would be a real family in the future. Jiang Long had never received anyone from the Jiang family all these years. The Jiang family had never looked for him either. Jiang Long was especially happy now that Su Jin was here. He replied with a smile,
“It’s just run-of-the-mill jobs that they enjoy. As long as they are happy and not breaking any law, everything’s fine!”
When Su Jin heard this, she didn’t probe further. Since her uncle had said so, it would be quite rude to get to the bottom of things. She a.s.sumed that since her uncle was the mayor, her aunt and cousins were all good people with remarkable jobs. Jiang Long continued,
“Su Jin, if anyone bullies you in future, you should look for your brothers. They will definitely protect you!”
Su Jin nodded vigorously. It felt good to have family. In the past, when Su Jin was injured, she could only silently endure it by herself. In future, she wouldn’t be alone anymore. When it was noon, Su Jin saw the aunt and three older cousins her uncle mentioned.
Her jaw almost dropped when she first saw them. Her aunt and three older cousins were all leaders in their fields, but her uncle told her that they were doing run-of-the-mill jobs. Did he think that just because she was young, she didn’t watch the news and know about national affairs?
Fortunately, Su Jin knew all these people in her previous life, especially her aunt, who left a deep impression on Su Jin. Her aunt’s full name was Hou Lili, and she was Hou Wan’er’s aunt. She was also a famous screenwriter. Her scripts were all very popular, with many directors, celebrities and investors lining up for them.
