Ge Liutao hadn’t thought much about it, her first reaction was whether Ge Dejun had fallen ill, otherwise, why would he come to the hospital? So, she hurriedly examined Ge Dejun, and asked anxiously, "De Jun, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
These words, filled with profound concern and worry, made Ge Dejun’s heart sour all at once.
No matter what, his sister always cared about him.
"Sister, I’m fine." As soon as he called her sister, tears began to stream down Ge Liutao’s face.
Ge Dejun had already heard how Chiang Songhai was injured and hesitated for a few seconds before stepping forward to support him, "Brother-in-law."
"Eh! Eh!" Chiang Songhai immediately responded.
This was the first time he had ever heard Ge Dejun call him brother-in-law!
"That young girl just now, is she Qingzhu’s daughter?" Ge Dejun found that talking about it was not as difficult as he had imagined; after all, they were biological siblings, and indeed the relatives he had missed for so many years. It wasn’t like what his mother had said, that his sister had abandoned her family for a man.
However, when it came to his niece Chiang Qingzhu, Ge Dejun couldn’t help but feel a sense of melancholy.
When Chiang Qingzhu was young, he had secretly visited her and even stealthily brought her candies and such, never expecting her to do such a thing.
His mother had cursed Chiang Qingzhu quite harshly back then and even threatened that if he dared to see Qingzhu again, she would break his legs. So, for the sake of peace at home, he had neglected Chiang Xiao for so many years.
Reflecting on it now, Ge Dejun couldn’t help but feel some guilt.
"Yes, her name is Chiang Xiao."
When Chiang Xiao came back, she saw her grandmother wiping away tears while on the other side, a man in his forties was helping her grandfather. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly walked over.
"Grandpa, Grandma, who is this?"
She didn’t recognize Ge Dejun because the people from the Ge Family had not appeared before she left Siyang Village in her previous life.
"Little, this is your great-uncle." Ge Liutao introduced in a soft voice, wiping away her tears.
Chiang Xiao looked at Ge Dejun in surprise, finding that he did not resemble her grandmother at all, but his features also belonged to the kind and honest type.
Hadn’t the Ge Family cut off relations with Grandma?
But at that moment, she couldn’t afford to think too much and, after addressing him as great-uncle, she quickly went to help Chiang Songhai, "Grandpa, let’s go get the X-ray first."
Ge Dejun was touched by her sweet call of great-uncle and was about to follow along when Chiang Xiao looked at him again, saying, "Great-uncle, you stay and talk with grandma; I can help grandpa over on my own."
The X-ray room was just ahead, not far at all.
She could see that Grandma was trembling with excitement while speaking to Great-uncle.
Watching the retreating figures of Chiang Xiao assisting Chiang Songhai, Ge Dejun couldn’t help saying, "Chiang Xiao is really sensible."
Ge Liutao nodded, "She is sensible and a good child. De Jun, do you... do you no longer resent your sister?"
"Sister, so many years have passed, more than half a lifetime. What is there left to resent? If it hadn’t been for our mother... I should have visited you in Siyang Village long ago."
Mentioning their mother, Ge Liutao’s face darkened, "It’s also my fault for not listening to her."
While the siblings were talking, over there, Chiang Songhai had finished his X-ray and sat down outside with Chiang Xiao supporting him. Just as she was about to inquire about the Ge Family, Chiang Songhai sighed and said to her, "Little, Grandpa has something to discuss with you, is that okay?"
"Your second uncle has been in a hurry to get married lately. Your aunt and uncle seem to want to find someone in the town. If she hears that we ruined his reputation, that would be terrible..."
Chiang Xiao couldn’t help interrupting him again.
"Grandpa, what if I say that I want to ruin his reputation? I did it on purpose."
