So Young Master Yu also rather reluctantly stretched out his little finger and hooked it with hers, sealing the promise.
Jiang Changhai, who had been mischievously hiding in the bushes, immediately leaped out with an "Aow" upon seeing them hooking fingers.
Unfortunately, neither his daughter nor Yu Cheng were scared at all.
Yu Cheng wasn’t startled because his ears were sharp, and he had heard the rustling early on but just ignored it.
Jiang Mianmian, on the other hand, was used to her dad’s unpredictable antics and had her guard up.
However, taking advantage of Yu Cheng turning back to talk to her dad, she suddenly flashed a mischievous smile, kicked up some water towards Yu Cheng with her foot, and then ran off towards Su Wanyu, holding her shoes.
Yu Cheng’s clothes and pants got a bit wet from the splashed water, but he didn’t mind. He leisurely put on his shoes and followed her.
In the summer heat, the clothes would dry in no time.
Jiang Mianmian, successful in her mischief, stuck out her tongue at him, then turned to ask her mom, "Mom, has aunt given birth yet?"
"Yes, your aunt had a boy. Mother and child are safe," Su Wanyu said.
"That’s great. This time uncle and aunt finally got what they wished for." Jiang Mianmian was genuinely happy for the whole family.
"Indeed, that little guy Yuanbin is quite strong. When he cries, he could almost bring down the roof," Jiang Changhai joked with a laugh.
Upon hearing the name "Yuanbin," Jiang Mianmian was suddenly stunned.
"Dad, did you just say uncle’s son is called Jiang Yuanbin?" Jiang Mianmian asked nervously.
"Yes, your uncle’s youngest son is named Yuanbin. Your uncle had a youth named it specially. It’s a good name, isn’t it? Both literary and martial. Seems like your uncle has high hopes for him," Jiang Changhai explained to his daughter.
In her previous life, her best friend’s younger brother was named Jiang Yuanbin.
The moment she remembered this, she also recalled that her best friend, back in the first grade, had read a historical novel in which the heroine’s brother was named Jiang Yuanbin.
The heroine in the novel had a trendy name from that era, called Jiang Anqi, but that was the name she adopted later. Her original name was—Jiang Zhaodi!
This novel was one that her best friend had recommended to her, but she only managed to read the first two Chapters. She couldn’t continue and abandoned the novel outright.
She thought the novel’s protagonist, Jiang Anqi, had questionable morals.
After being reborn, she wasn’t focused on studying hard or improving herself, or even using her knowledge of the plot to start a business and make money. Instead, she rushed to grab the ginseng and men that originally belonged to others.
Even some readers in the novel’s comment section shared her views, voicing their opinions only to be attacked by other fans, leading to their comments being deleted. They argued that anyone else in her shoes would do the same.
Furthermore, Jiang Anqi hadn’t harmed anyone else; she even planned to repay and compensate her Uncle’s family once she had made money. What more did people expect from her?
She still remembered how, when she and her best friend had complained about it, her friend had used the same arguments to staunchly support what Jiang Anqi had done.
But later on, after reading half of the novel, her friend came to her indignant, regretting her initial judgment, saying she must have been blind to think Jiang Anqi was a good person.
She still remembers how furious her best friend was at that time.
Her friend had grabbed her hand, angrily complaining, "Mianmian, you were right, that Jiang Anqi is just a repulsive, morally dubious white lotus! I really regret speaking up for her in the comments back then."
