Chapter 361: Daughter

“My mother can cook and fight. She can even rule the world as the empress. She can be both civil and military and can even protect you. Will you be my grandmother?” Sanbao held Yan Hui’s hand and shook it gently. Her big eyes were full of pity. Yan Hui was in a daze. It seemed… It seemed…

“Sanbao, don’t mess around.” Jiang Xi glared at Sanbao. This fellow was hiding behind Yan Hui and she could not catch her. In truth, even if they did not know the Yan family’s identity, they could guess that it was one of those noble houses with many rules. Initially, she had only contacted her after she saved Yan Chi. Sanbao had always been quiet and quick-witted, but now she seemed to be unruly.

Old Master Yan looked at Jiang Xi seriously and was stunned. He could tell that Jiang Xi did not have any attachment or flattery to the Yan family. In fact, there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes, as if she did not want to be associated with the Yan family. Her intelligent eyes seemed to be able to see through the world. There was a hint of heroism in her brows, and even a sense of righteousness. Old Master Yan liked such a child very much. However, Old Master Yan lowered his eyes. Yan Hui’s heart was hurt too deeply. She would usually be sad when she saw other people’s daughters. Now that she had acknowledged a girl as her goddaughter, it was like sprinkling salt on her wound…

“That’s right, I’m already thirty-eight years old. I’m at the age where I should be a grandmother. It just so happens that I… I also want a daughter…” Yan Hui raised her head. Her eyes were filled with tears.

“Then, are you willing to acknowledge me as your godmother?” Yan Hui’s words surprised Yan Rufeng and the Old Master Yan. Jiang Xi was also stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt a shiver all over her body and had goosebumps all over her body. It was as if she had been fixed in place. She had been in a strange state of mind since today. Her heart told her that she should get closer to Jiang Xi.

“I… I can.” Jiang Xi nodded.

“Sigh, daughter… My daughter…” Yan Hui called out to Jiang Xi a few times. She looked at Jiang Xi and suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief.

Old Master Yan also thought of something. He exchanged a look with Yan Rufeng and instantly looked at JiangXi’s face. That sense of familiarity, the sense of familiarity that she had seen somewhere before, was like an overflowing basin of water that exploded with a bang when Yan Hui called Jiang Xi ‘daughter’!

Old Master Yanis entire body went numb! In fact, he had secretly investigated Yan Hui i s disappearance. Because of that, he was even more distressed about his daughter’s fate. Later, he found out about the Jiang family. However, when he arrived, the Jiang family had already sent Jiang Xi to the mental hospital. By the time they arrived, JiangXi had already been admitted to the hospital. He went over and took a look from a distance. She was so thin that she did not look like her current self at all. He heard that she had stopped breathing some time ago and was sent to the mortuary.

Old Master Yan was afraid that Yan Hui would not be able to take it, so he had never told her about it. He had only seen Jiang Xi’s photo at the Jiang family and remembered her face. The old lady had once seen Old Master Yan coming to the Jiang family’s garden to look for the child.

“Dad, dad, I’ve acknowledged Jiang Xi as my daughter. Are you happy?” At this moment, Yan Hui seemed to have come alive. Her eyes were bright like stars.

Yan Hui’s words woke up Old Master Yan. He wiped the corners of his eyes and forced himself to be alert. “Okay, okay, okay. As long as you’re happy, you and Jiang Xi are fated. It’s okay to see each other as mother and daughter. This is your fate.” Old Master Yan was puzzled. The hospital had clearly announced Jiang Xi’s death, so how could… She even saved Yan Chi and got involved with the Yan family?

Although Old Master Yan was confused, he did not dislike Jiang Xi. Instead, he smiled kindly and was grateful for Yan Hui’s current appearance. It did not matter if it was real or fake, as long as his daughter was happy. However, he did not voice out the doubts in his heart. Now was not the time. If something really went wrong, he was afraid that his daughter would really not be able to live.

Old Master Yan had lived for a long time and held great power in his hands. He had an indescribable feeling about danger. He always felt that someone was manipulating and plotting something, and that they could be completely destroyed if they were not careful.

At this moment, Yan Hui seemed to have been injected with vitality. She pulled Jiang Xi aside and asked her about everything in detail, from what she was wearing to what she was eating, from birth to school, from waking up early to sleeping late. The more she asked, the brighter her eyes became..
