Chapter 752: 197: Recognize Family! _5 Chapter 752: 197: Recognize Family! _5 “They haven’t arrived yet! You all can come in first.” Mrs. Zheng continued, “Zheng Jun and I have consulted with someone to calculate the timing, they should be here promptly at half past ten in the morning, which is just half an hour from now.”
Mrs. Mo teased, “Aqing, didn’t you used to hate feudal superstitions? When did you start believing in this?”
When a person is alone, they can fear nothing and believe in nothing, utterly unrestrained.
However, as soon as one has attachments, the fear starts creeping in.
“You love to tease people.” Mrs. Zheng laughed.
Mrs. Mo looked at Mrs. Zheng and sighed, “Aqing, it has been over thirty years since I last saw you laugh so freely.”
The smile remained on Mrs. Zheng’s face, “Isn’t that the truth, in the blink of an eye, over thirty years have passed.”
Mrs. Mo looked at Mr. Zheng, feigning surprise: “Eh? Zheng Jun, how have you managed to make time to come out of your mini skyscraper today? Aren’t you tending to your beloved plants?”
Mr. Zheng chuckled awkwardly.
The group of them, laughing and chatting, entered the house.
Zheng Lingling, standing outside the door, felt the anger pressing down in her heart. She couldn’t muster a smile for anyone she met.
“Lingling, what’s the matter with you? This is a day of joy, why are you wearing such a serious expression?” a reproachful voice filled the air.
“Aunt Jiang!” Seeing Dr. Jiang, the anger on Zheng Lingling’s face lessened slightly. She pushed Zheng Xianjing, standing beside her, “Xianjing, didn’t you see your Jiang grandma has arrived?”
“Hello, Grandma Jiang.” Zheng Xianjing responded casually.
Dr. Jiang’s face was filled with affection, “Good girl.”
Dr. Jiang said earnestly: “Lingling, today is a joyful day for your family, what’s with this long face you’re pulling? If others who aren’t aware of the situation see this, they might think you hate your soon-to-be sister! If your mother hears about this, what will she think? Problems can be sorted out after the reunion ceremony today! You’re a good child, you can’t embarrass your parents!”
These words from Dr. Jiang seemed to awaken Zheng Lingling, who promptly responded: “Yes, Aunt Jiang, I understand.”
Having said that, a smile returned to her face.
Dr. Jiang nodded in satisfaction, “Lingling, as long as you understand. Ah, has your sister arrived?”
“Not yet.” Zheng Lingling shook her head.
“Oh.” Dr. Jiang glanced at the guests coming and going, “Then I’ll go in first.”
Other than Zheng Lingling, Zheng Sheng and Zheng Gao, the two brothers, were also having trouble addressing their feelings about Zheng Tingting’s return.
With nobody to succeed Mr. Zheng, by default, the duo would inherit the family fortune.
Zheng Tingting has actually returned!
Zheng Tingting is the one with the real Zheng family bloodline!
From the moment the two brothers walked in the door with their families, their faces were long.
Zheng Lingling enthusiastically welcomed them, “Uncle Two, Aunt Two, Uncle Three, Aunt Three, please come inside! Yingyue, Yingmei, I barely recognized you two after such a long time! Truly, a girl can change a lot when she grows up, you’re both more beautiful than ever!”
Zheng Yingyue and Zheng Yingmei are Zheng Sheng’s second and third daughters, respectively.
Zheng Gao only has one son, Zheng Mingming.
Everyone loves flattery, hearing it, Zheng Yingyue and Zheng Yingmei beamed, “Thank you for the compliment, cousin.”
But Zheng Sheng and Zheng Gao were unable to muster a smile, with solemn expressions they went into the house.
Shortly after, smiles returned to their faces.
Because they heard some news.
This niece they’ve never met before is a country bumpkin, she can’t even read.
Even if Mrs. Zheng and Mr. Zheng were to hand her all their assets, she probably won’t be able to hold on to them! When that time comes, the Zheng family fortune will naturally return to its rightful owners.
Maybe this country girl will even embarrass herself later!
Soon after, Mrs. Shangguan also arrived.
Zheng Lingling only had information on Ni Cuihua and had no knowledge of the connection between Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui.
Seeing Mrs. Shangguan, a trace of surprise flashed in Zheng Lingling’s eyes.
The Shangguan family usually doesn’t interact much with the Zheng family, how did Mrs. Shangguan also end up here?
It appears that these two resilient old folks are really going to great lengths for their biological daughter!
Fifteen minutes left till half past ten.
Mr. & Mrs. Zheng, Mr. & Mrs. Mo, and Mrs. Shangguan all stood by the door.
The servants were standing by with firecrackers and fireworks, ready to celebrate the special occasion.
