"I remember that it was not long since I married Ziya's mother. One day, your grandmother said she was going on a long trip, but she didn't say how long she would be gone. But after about a week, she came back with a baby girl in her arms."

"It's me?" Su Zimu asked.

"Yeah." Su Xiangan nodded, with a warm smile in his eyes, "You were very well behaved when you were a child. You looked around with your big eyes, and you didn't cry or make a fuss."

"I asked your grandmother whose child she brought back. Your grandmother said it was my brother and sister-in-law's child. How could I believe it? They just came back more than two months ago, and they didn't even have a big belly. How could they have a child so soon?"

"Then where did grandma pick me up from? Or... did she pick me up from a trash can?" Su Zimu said with her head down, feeling depressed. She was worried that she was the second case and was abandoned by her biological parents.

Su Xiangan signaled Su Zimu not to worry, "We waited for almost half a month, and your grandmother called everyone in the family to hold a family meeting."

"Your grandmother said that my brother and sister-in-law were busy with work and had no plans to have children. It happened that she picked you up. It was God's will that you should be their child. At first, my sister-in-law was determined not to agree. None of them had time to take care of you, and it was not easy to adopt a child. It was your grandmother who insisted on keeping you, saying that you were a poor child, destined to be with her and the Su family."

"After much persuasion, they finally agreed."

Su Zimu never expected that her life experience would be so tortuous. She was first abandoned by her biological parents, and her adoptive parents were unwilling to adopt her. Fortunately, she had her grandmother, who loved her the most, otherwise she might not have survived.

"I later realized that you were not picked up at all. You were clearly entrusted by someone."

Weren't we abandoned? Weren't we picked up?

Su Zimu raised his head and looked at Su Xiangan, "Then... do you know my family?"

"I don't know him. I only know that your biological grandmother and your grandma knew him."

"What about my biological mother? Do you know her situation?" Su Zimu's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, "How is she...?"

Su Xiangan shook his head. "Your biological mother, her last name was Xu, her name was Xu Wanqiu, she...is long gone."

Su Zimu: “!!!”

"How...did she...die?" Su Zimu wanted to know more, but was afraid of hearing more bad news.

"It is said that at that time, your mother had just graduated from college and was an art teacher. At an art exhibition, she met your biological father, and the two fell in love because of art. Later, I learned that your biological father already had a family and was married. In the end, your biological father chose to return to his family and abandoned your mother."

"She got pregnant before marriage and interfered with someone else's family. Although she was deceived, your mother couldn't bear the shock after she knew the truth, so...she jumped into the river."

"Jump into the river?" Su Zimu covered his mouth. "You left me behind... and chose to jump into the river?"

Su Xiangan sighed.

As if he was immersed in the past and unable to accept this matter, Su Zimu lowered his head and said nothing.

"Then, where is her father?" Jiang Huaizhou asked.

"That man seemed to have evaporated overnight, and there has been no news of him since."

"Is there anyone else in her family?" Jiang Huaizhou continued to ask.

Su Xiangan sighed again, "No, her grandmother, not long after her daughter jumped into the river, she entrusted you to your grandmother, and that's it..."

Su Xiangan didn't say anything else, and none of the three spoke anymore.

"Uncle." Su Zimu raised his head, his voice choking, "Then do you know what my biological father's surname is? Does he know that there is a me in this world? Or... he also abandoned me..."

Jiang Huaizhou felt sorry for her and hugged her shoulders, trying to cheer her up.

Su Xiangan shook his head slowly, "Sorry, I don't know about this."

"Well, it's not very important." Su Zimu forced a smile, "If he could abandon her, he could also abandon me."

"Mumu." Su Xiang'an paused for a moment, "Uncle is telling you this not to make you leave the Su family, nor to make you hate or resent anyone. After all, these are all past events."

"My uncle just wants you to understand that you have the right to know this, and you also have the right to make a choice and go find your relatives. However, you will always be the daughter of the Su family, and I will always be your uncle."

"Little uncle." Su Zimu couldn't help but shed tears.

Su Xiangan nodded with relief. "In life, whether you are clear-headed or confused, you have to go through it all."

"Huaizhou." Su Xiangan looked at Jiang Huaizhou, "I hope that you two can trust each other, support each other, and love each other in your future lives."

Jiang Huaizhou nodded to Su Xiangan.

"Okay, the story is over, you guys can go back. I have to go back too. I haven't finished preparing my lessons yet." Su Xiangan stood up and refused to let the two of them see him off.

Looking at Su Xiangan's departing back, Su Zimu blamed himself very much, "Perhaps, I did something wrong at that time. I shouldn't have listened to grandma. I should have informed my uncle."

Jiang Huaizhou patted her on the back and said, "You have to believe that grandma has her reasons for doing this. Grandma loves you very much."

"What's the reason?" Su Zimu looked up at him.

"Grandma is worried that your aunt will cause trouble. She is lying in bed and can't help you. How can you handle it alone?"

Su Zimu frowned, "But they will know about grandma sooner or later."

"It's a different time now." Jiang Huaizhou said, looking at the confused Su Zimu, "Don't understand?"

"I don't understand." Su Zimu answered honestly.

"Now that you have me by your side, you are not alone." Jiang Huaizhou said easily.

"Grandma doesn't know that we will be together." Su Zimu didn't believe what he said.

"She has a keen eye. She has long had her eyes on me, her grandson-in-law, and knows that we are a match made in heaven." Jiang Huaizhou looked happy.

"Okay, Jiang Huaizhou, just make up the story, and make up the story as much as you can." Su Zimu said and walked forward alone.

Seeing her relaxed steps, Jiang Huaizhou also became clear-headed. He hoped that she would stay like this in the future, without any more hardships, and live a safe and smooth life.

In the next few days, nothing special happened. However, Mr. Jiang gave Su Zimu a pair of jade bracelets.

Looking at this refreshing green, even though Su Zimu didn't understand jade, he knew that this was a good thing.

"Grandpa, am I too polite?" Su Zimu carefully put the jade bracelet into the box.

Jiang Huaizhou glanced at the bracelet and said with a smile, "You are her granddaughter-in-law, so this Jiang family thing should naturally be passed on to you."

"Family heirloom?" Su Zimu swallowed.

"That's about right." Jiang Huaizhou picked up a magazine and flipped through it. "It's my grandma's stuff."

"Then I'd better keep it well." Su Zimu closed the box carefully.

"Don't." Jiang Huaizhou said nonchalantly, "You have to carry it with you at all times. He will be happy to see it."

After looking at the bracelet again, Su Zimu closed the box. She didn't dare to wear it. If she accidentally dropped it, she probably couldn't afford to pay for it even ten thousand times.

Seeing this, Jiang Huaizhou walked over in three or two steps, took out the jade bracelet neatly and put it on Su Zimu's wrist.

Su Zimu was about to pick it, but was frightened by his words and retracted his hand.

"Taking it off means you are no longer the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family."

What kind of bullshit rule is this?

Su Zimu felt contempt in his heart, but he wore it obediently.

"My mother took off this bracelet before she died." Jiang Huaizhou looked at the bracelet.
