"Knock, knock, knock," Yu Tang knocked on Jiang Shiyuan's door politely, revealing half of her body holding a silk quilt.

"Shiyuan, uncle and aunt are a little scared today. Can I sleep with you?"

Jiang Shiyuan, who was in a daze, felt warm in his heart. He knew that Yu Tang and Jian Yaoshan came because they were worried about him.

"Sure." He moved in, patted the bed sheet covered with blue florals, and said seriously: "Uncle and aunt, come quickly, you won't be scared if I'm with you."

With permission, Yu Tang and Jian Yaoshan surrounded Jiang Shiyuan on the left and right, giving him a full sense of security.

Like a wounded little animal, he unconsciously lay in Yu Tang's arms, his little hands still tightly grasping her sleeves, as if he would not be hurt again.

"Shi Yuan is very scared today, right?" Yu Tang gently touched his head and said apologetically, "It's my fault for not protecting Shi Yuan well."

To be honest, she never dreamed that someone would be so brazen as to snatch a child in public.

Jiang Shiyuan's face turned red with shame after his inner fear was exposed. He was obviously a little man, but he was still almost scared to death by that woman.

"I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, I'm not a brave kid." He lowered his head in shame and apologized to Jian Yaoshan and Yu Tang.

"Why do you want to apologize?" Yu Tang pinched his little face and said, "Children who are protected by adults don't have to be brave."

"But I was scared and cried." Jiang Shiyuan felt even more embarrassed when he mentioned this. He pointed at his fingers and whispered, "Yinyin, no other girl cried, but I did."

He said he wanted to protect Yinyin, but in the end he was not even as good as Yinyin.

Yu Tang ruffled his messy hair and said calmly, "It's not like that, Shi Yuan. In fact, Yin Yin also cried secretly."

Jian Yaoshan’s eyes instantly widened like bells. How come he didn’t know that his precious daughter was crying?

This trick doesn't work on adults, but it works just fine on children. As expected, Jiang Shiyuan raised his little head and asked in confusion, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. When has your uncle ever lied to you?" Jian Yaoshan accepted it and colluded with Yu Tang in his testimony.

With the two adults' solemn assurances, Jiang Shiyuan finally believed that Jian Yinzhi had secretly cried behind his back. In this case, he would not be the only child who was not brave enough.

After Jiang Shiyuan was almost coaxed, Yu Tang revealed his true purpose.

She took out a jade pendant from her pajamas pocket and handed it to Jiang Shiyuan, and asked softly, "Shiyuan, have you seen this jade pendant?"

"No." Jiang Shiyuan took the jade pendant and asked curiously, "Is this a gift from my aunt?"

It's no wonder he asked this, Yu Tang spent money lavishly, either buying clothes or shoes today, or sending mysterious gifts tomorrow.

"No." Yu Tang was afraid of upsetting the child, so he tried to speak calmly, "This is actually a relic left to you by Grandma Jiang."

Jiang Shiyuan burst into tears when he heard the origin of the jade pendant. He held the jade pendant tightly against his chest and cried uncontrollably.

"Grandma, Grandma." He called out with tears in his eyes, "I miss you so much."

But no matter how much he called for it, Grandma Jiang could not come back to life.

With tears in her eyes, Yu Tang said nothing, but just quietly wiped Jiang Shiyuan's tears with a tissue. She didn't dare to speak until he was tired of crying.

"The day Grandma Jiang passed away, she told Auntie a secret about Shiyuan. Does Shiyuan want to know?" Yu Tang originally wanted to wait until Jiang Shiyuan was older before telling him the secret of his life.

But the appearance of that crazy woman today made her feel uneasy. Her intuition told her that she couldn't hide it any longer.

"If Shi Yuan is tired now or doesn't want to listen, uncle and aunt can tell you later." Jian Yaoshan felt that this was too cruel for a child. If possible, he wanted to postpone the time when Shi Yuan knew.

Jiang Shiyuan touched the jade pendant cherishingly, put it around his neck solemnly, and said with hiccups, "Uncle and aunt, I can bear it." He now wanted to know what his grandmother said before she died.

"Granny Jiang said that she loves you very much, even though, even though you are not her biological grandson, she still loves you very much." Yu Tang said this in a trembling voice. She did not dare to describe those sad details in too much detail.

Jiang Shiyuan was completely stunned after hearing this, and he didn't react for a long time.

After a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Auntie, what do you mean, you said I am not grandma's biological grandson?" He suspected that Yu Tang was joking.

"Granny Jiang said that she picked you up from the trash can." Yu Tang had tears in his eyes and didn't dare to look up at her.

She was afraid to see Jiang Shiyuan's disappointed look.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shiyuan, who was originally frightened, actually burst out laughing when he heard this.

He covered his mouth and snickered, "Auntie, you've been fooled by my grandma. She has been joking with me like this since I was a child."

Whenever he asked who his parents were and where he came from, Grandma Jiang would lie to him and say that he was picked up from a trash can. He didn't expect that Yu Tang and Jian Yaoshan, who were so grown up, would still be deceived.

Shocked by his laughter, Yu Tang and Jian Yaoshan looked at each other. They didn't know how to explain things to Jiang Shiyuan without hurting his young heart.

"Shi Yuan, this is not a joke." Jian Yaoshan said solemnly, "This jade pendant was found by Grandma Jiang when she picked you up. It may be related to your life experience."

"So, is that crazy woman today really my mother?" The child had a quick mind and his thoughts were very jumpy. He naturally connected the two things together.

Yu Tang was slightly stunned and shook her head, because she didn't know the origin of the crazy woman who suddenly appeared today, and whether she had any relationship with Jiang Shiyuan.

"Uncle has already asked someone to investigate. If there is any result, he will tell Shi Yuan immediately." Jian Yaoshan said softly to comfort him.

Jiang Shiyuan's palms were sweating. He wiped them on his pajamas twice and asked anxiously, "If, if she is really my mother, will my uncle and aunt not want me anymore?"

He suddenly felt very scared, very scared that he would be discarded like a rag.

"Of course not." Yu Tang hugged him tightly and coaxed him gently: "Uncle and aunt just think that Shi Yuan has the right to know the truth."

Jiang Shiyuan, whose inner worries were soothed, snuggled up to the two of them and said obediently, "I like uncle and aunt, and I don't want to be separated from them."

"Then let's make a promise that we won't change for a hundred years." Yu Tang stretched out his little finger to sign a contract with him, patted his back to lull him to sleep, and said, "Shi Yuan will always be your uncle and aunt's little baby."

"Yeah." Jiang Shiyuan closed his eyes shyly after getting the guarantee, holding one in each hand, and fell into a sweet dream.
