Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2351 - 2287: The Bearing of an Aristocratic Lady

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Old Master Jiang returns home in remarkably high spirits and improved health, much to the surprise of the gathered Jiang clan. Reflecting on Chiang Xiao’s absence, he feels a deep sense of regret for not bringing his great-granddaughter back sooner and resolves to officially announce her existence to the family. Despite Chen Baoshen’s warnings about the girl’s vengeful streak and protective nature, the Old Master prepares to add her name to the family genealogy to ensure her rightful status. As the vast and complex Jiang family assembles to welcome the Sixth Young Master home, the pressure of the impending introduction looms over the household.

Leaning in, he whispered to Chen Yiping, "Which one is Miss Lu?"

Because he hadn't encountered Lu Shuangshuang before, he was unable to identify her on his own.

The gathering was filled with numerous women in their thirties and forties, most of whom were draped in expensive jewelry. His aged, failing eyesight struggled to distinguish which of them was Lu Shuangshuang.

Chen Yiping scanned the crowd. As the personal physician for the Jiang Family, he had met Lu Shuangshuang on several occasions.

"She is the one standing near that quiet rosebush up ahead, dressed in a white and purple floral qipao with a mink shawl. The two Jiang Family children she is fond of, the brother and sister, are right next to her."

Following the gesture, Chen Baoshen shifted his gaze toward the spot.

He observed a woman possessing the refined grace of a noble lineage, her expression brimming with eager anticipation as she looked their way.

Though he was an old man who paid little mind to physical beauty, her aura was clearly superior to that of a girl from a common background.

The pair of children standing beside her appeared remarkably dignified as well. The boy wore a formal suit, while the girl was dressed in soft pink trousers paired with a white wool shrug. With her hair curled and held by a clip, she radiated a bright, youthful energy.

Chen Baoshen couldn't resist muttering under his breath, "Even so, our Xiao Chiang is still more charming."

A soft chuckle escaped Chen Yiping at that remark.

In the old man's eyes, his own kin were always the best.

He was well aware that Chen Baoshen regarded Chiang Xiao as his very own granddaughter.

From an objective standpoint, Chiang Xiao was indeed stunning. Since Sixth Young Master Jiang was the most handsome member of the Jiang Family, it was only natural for his daughter, Chiang Xiao, to be equally striking.

He wondered if Chiang Xiao would manage to bond with her siblings upon her return.

Life in a Great Aristocratic Family, such a massive clan...

This train of thought left him feeling slightly melancholy.

Lu Shuangshuang and the others had been waiting for Old Master Jiang’s arrival. The moment he appeared, Lu Shuangshuang moved forward briskly to offer him her arm for support.

"Grandpa."

She had consistently addressed him as Grandpa alongside the Sixth Young Master, and she continued to do so even after his disappearance. Previously, she had referred to him as Grandpa Jiang.

Once the Sixth Young Master went missing, she began visiting the Jiang Family and changed her way of addressing him.

At that time, Old Master Jiang had been deeply moved by the gesture.

His grandson was gone, yet his prospective granddaughter-in-law had stepped up to fill that role in her speech.

"Shuangshuang, have you been feeling restless these last two days?"

Old Master Jiang let out a soft sigh and gently patted Lu Shuangshuang’s hand.

"I would be lying if I told Grandpa I wasn't anxious. However, knowing that he should return home with a renewed spirit on this specific date makes the wait worth it, no matter how restless I feel."

A smile touched Old Master Jiang’s face.

"That is true, but he is finally coming home. Come, let us go together to receive Xiao Sixth."

"Brother, we have all been just as anxious for his return."

Fourth Master added his voice to the conversation.

"Everyone has set their responsibilities aside today to welcome Xiao Sixth; he will surely be moved by the gesture."

Old Master Jiang spoke as he guided the group toward the main gates.

The procession was truly a grand sight to behold.

Meanwhile, a massive crowd had already gathered outside the Jiang Family’s main entrance.

These onlookers were desperate to see how Sixth Young Master Jiang looked now, curious to witness the spectacle of his return after twenty long years.

The throng of people outside was dense, consisting of the elderly, children, and women alike.

Even the fringes of the crowd were lined with street vendors and snack carts. Since no one knew how long the wait would be, it had turned into a prime business opportunity.
