The Double

After returning to the Jiang Residence from the Ye Family, Jiang Li’s smile never faded.

Tonger and Bai Xue were puzzled, not understanding why Jiang Li was in such a good mood today, thinking it might be because she hadn’t seen Ye Mingyu and Ye Shijie for a long time; her relationship with this uncle had always been very good.

After returning to the Jiang Residence and having seen Madam Jiang the Elder, Jiang Li went back to Fangfei Garden. Once she was back, she closed the door and sat down at her desk.

On the wall in front of her desk still hung the painting Xue Huaiyuan gave her on her birthday before he knew she was Ah Li. But now, looking at the painting felt like her father was watching over her, which was particularly comforting. Speaking of birthdays, last time everyone else had sent gifts except for Jih Heng. Jiang Li thought about it and guessed that Jih Heng must have known it wasn’t her real birthday, so he didn’t send a gift.

She unconsciously made excuses for Jih Heng and soon realized she was doing so. Jiang Li shook her head; she was indeed very happy today. Her father and Ah Zhao were by her side, and they had recognized each other. This was a silver lining in misfortune. Since finding out that Xue Zhao was still alive, Jiang Li had pinched herself more than once, fearing that all of this was just a beautiful dream. Now it seemed that heaven was still quite kind to her.

Ah Zhao’s words also allowed her to let go of any worries. The Jiang family members hoped she would marry Yin Zhili, but thought Jih Heng was not a good choice. It seemed like the whole world was denying Jih Heng, but at least Ah Zhao was on her side. Ah Zhao encouraged her and agreed with her, and it didn’t look like he had any bad opinion of Jih Heng, so Jiang Li’s heart was put at ease.

Encouragement from family is always the most precious.

It was as if she had shed all her previous troubles, and what followed seemed like good times she had been waiting for long, even going to sleep with a smile on her face.
