Chapter 38 – The Bracelet Possessed The Ability To Pick Its Rightful Owner (3)
As she had lost the track of the bracelet, even with Li ShiZe comforting her occasionally and even taking her out to shop, Jiang YaGe’s mood never recovered. She was surrounded by a sense of gloominess.
Li WangJin had always wished that Jiang YaGe was his daughter. Seeing her like that made his heart ached. He thought her sadness was brought on by the proximity to her parents’ death anniversary, so he took her to meet up with Wang SiXian.
Jiang YaGe had only met this aunty of hers a few times in the past. Wang SiXian looked exactly the same as her mother Wang SiEr. Seeing her was like seeing her mother who had passed away, Jiang YaGe couldn’t help but started to cry.
After she was done crying and the two of them had spent some time together, the two of them had grown much closer to each other. Jiang YaGe looked at her aunt and then at the tender-looking Li WangJin and seemed to have formed an idea.
Wang SiXian felt a little uneasy under her gaze. Tugging at her niece’s sleeve, she said kindly, “My sister had always objected to my marriage with your ex-uncle-in-law and that had driven a wedge between us, causing us to have fallen out of touch with each other.
“Had WangJin not told me, I didn’t even know that my sister had passed away. I didn’t even get to see her one last time.” There was a slight hint of sadness and regret on her.
Li WangJin knew the reason why Wang SiXian insisted on marrying that scum and felt awkward all of a sudden. He looked for some excuse to take off early and left the two of them to spend more time with each other.
Jiang YaGe’s look dimmed as well. “Mom missed you the entire time.” The two of them thought about Wang SiEr, who had died in a tragic accident. After a while, Jiang YaGe asked softly, “Are you fond of my adopted father, Aunty?”
Wang SiXian blushed and said, “Such nonsense. He is married.”
Jiang YaGe said softly to her, “My adopted dad and mom have been having issues. The two of them fight a lot at home, especially after I have joined them. My adopted mom didn’t seem to like me much.”
Jiang YaGe wasn’t an idiot. Naturally, she could tell that Fang JunRong was nicer to Zhong Yi than she was to her. Thinking about her own mother and the way her adopted father treated her and the occasional words that he had said, she had a pretty good idea. If only her mom had picked her adopted father back in the days, then she’d be her adopted dad’s real daughter and that would be her home. She wouldn’t need to walk on thin ice all the time. She couldn’t believe someone as nice as her adopted father would end up marrying someone like her adopted mother. What a bummer.
She looked up at her aunty – her aunty looked exactly like her mom, especially when she smiled. They could be the same person.
“Even if his relationship with Fang JunRong is rocky, they are still legally wedded to each other. I shouldn’t spend too much time around him. We wouldn’t want any misunderstandings if we were seen together,” said Wang SiXian.
Ever since they ran into Li WangJin’s friend last time, he hasn’t been taking her out much, until today when he brought Jiang YaGe with him.
Jiang YaGe blurted out, “But Aunty can spend more time with me. Nobody would misunderstand anything if I am there as well.”
More importantly, not even her adopted mother could say much if she found out. After all, wasn’t it normal for her to visit her own aunt?
Wang SiXian thought about it for a while and affectionately brushed her niece’s hair behind her ears. “I don’t have a daughter, but now I have you. It is just as good as having a daughter of my own.”
