Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2357 - 2293: You Still Remember Everyone, Right?

"Thank you, Sixth Young Master Jiang!"

"Sixth Young Master is a good person!"

"Sixth Young Master is truly impressive!"

In that instant, the crowd burst into fervent cheers and shouts directed at the Sixth Young Master.

It turned out the Sixth Young Master hadn't endured hardship during his time away; instead, he had built up quite a fortune. Evidently, the Sixth Young Master truly possessed remarkable talents!

The pair of Jiang Family servants near the entrance shared a quick look, and one dashed off into the house right away.

Inside the Jiang Family’s grand hall at that time, the elders had taken their seats, while the younger folks remained close to their parents.

Such a massive gathering.

Cheng Cheng, faced with this hall packed with Jiang relatives, felt a throbbing in his temples.

Soon enough, he would count himself as part of the Jiang family too.

Truth be told, without his adoptive father and Little to consider, he wouldn't desire a clan this grand, no matter the riches.

Dealing with all these folks and their tangled ties seemed utterly draining to him.

Already, just pondering Jiang Xiao left him feeling weary.

Yet, recalling Jiang Xiao’s nature, Cheng Cheng eased up somewhat.

What was there to fret over with so many around?

Jiang Xiao herself would surely sort them into three distinct categories.

First came those kind to her and her adoptive father alike.

Second were the ones who merely pretended to be friendly.

Third included all those hostile toward them.

Without doubt, Jiang Xiao would stick solely to the first category, cutting out well over half the bunch.

Indeed, more than half for sure.

Were it not for over half the Jiang Family showing cruelty to Jiang Shiheng, that ordeal never would have befallen him.

In a sprawling clan rife with rival interests, even a handful of sincere allies would suffice.

Thus, no need to dread the throng—Jiang Xiao would ignore the majority, sparing the effort of false courtesies.

With these thoughts, Cheng Cheng sharpened his focus once more.

He stood off to the side with Sun Han, joined nearby by Chen Baoshen and Chen Yiping.

Since the culprit behind the harm to the Sixth Young Master from back then might well be among those present, they had to stay ever vigilant.

"Xiao Sixth, after two full decades, you’ve returned at last, so today let all of us get a proper glimpse of you, and reacquaint yourself with the relatives—everyone awaits your greetings anew."

Old Master Jiang had barely steadied his feelings.

He occupied the central chair, flanked by his several brothers and two sisters on the nearby couches.

One among them pressed a handkerchief to his lips, letting out soft coughs now and then.

He had been absent from the earlier welcome at the gates for Jiang Shiheng.

This was Old Master Jiang’s third brother, Third Master Jiang, who had been confined to bed for years and avoided drafts, explaining his decision to skip the outdoor greeting and wait inside instead.

Jiang Shiheng spotted him immediately.

What caught him off guard was that Third Master had battled sickness twenty years prior, and despite the long span, he lingered on without full recovery.

Second Master Jiang had passed from his ailments ages ago.

Now with Second Master departed, Old Master turned his gaze to Third Master Jiang next.

Jiang Shiheng advanced a pace and addressed him: "Third Uncle."

"Ah, ah, Xiao Sixth, you’re back at last, cough cough." Third Master barely uttered those words before shortness of breath overtook him.

The older lady behind him gently rubbed his back, aiding his breathing.

Jiang Shiheng greeted her too: "Third Aunt."

"Yes, yes, Xiao Sixth still remembers me."

Next, Jiang Shiheng turned to Fourth Master Jiang, with whom he had already exchanged words at the entrance.

Noticing Jiang Shiheng’s gaze, Fourth Master Jiang remarked: "I say, Xiao Sixth, you ought to glance at those folks over there—you know them, don’t you?"
