Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2361 - 2297: He Has a Daughter Now

Eighth Lady's heart was filled with profound sorrow. Had Xiao Sixth not ventured away from home for all those years, he would certainly have a charming wife at his side by now and be surrounded by his offspring. How did he come to this, isolated and lacking a true companion?

She cast a look toward Lu Shuangshuang and spoke to Jiang Shiheng, "Xiao Sixth remains young, and Shuangshuang is young too. If they maintain their health properly, bearing children is absolutely feasible..."

"Eighth Great Aunt..."

Lu Shuangshuang's cheeks turned crimson in an instant, as she bashfully bowed her head.

Laughter bubbled up from the group uncontrollably.

Lady Liu chuckled loudly, "Ah Shuang, you've matured, but you're still turning red like that. You've suffered through these years, holding out for Xiao Sixth. Your affections haven't shifted, have they? Don't look down on our Xiao Sixth."

A woman in her middle years close by also giggled and jested, "From Ah Shuang's manner, it's clear she's delighted by Xiao Sixth's comeback. Our families will soon mark yet another happy event."

With those words, she faced Jiang Shiheng, "Sixth Young Master, I'm your sister-in-law. Back when I wed, we weren't close at all."

Cheng Cheng's eyes grew more intense as he observed Jiang Shiheng.

It was plain that Lu Shuangshuang shared strong bonds with the entire Jiang Family, treated nearly like one of their own.

Furthermore, all present were convinced the betrothal between Jiang Shiheng and Lu Shuangshuang would proceed as planned.

Jiang Shiheng displayed little response, merely eyeing Lu Shuangshuang.

Lu Shuangshuang returned his look with warmth.

"Sister Shuang, there's something I need to share with you..."

Old Master Jiang cut off Jiang Shiheng's statement.

"Xiao Sixth has more to express, his thoughts incomplete." He let out a sigh, "This stands as yet another issue for today's talk. Though Xiao Sixth is unwed, still..."

Here, his gaze shifted to Lu Shuangshuang as well.

Right then, doubt crept in.

A flicker of uncertainty passed.

For if Lu Shuangshuang held bitterness toward Xiao Sixth, and the Lu Family posed an obstacle, then what?

Yet to waver now would betray his great-granddaughter's trust.

The vivid gaze of Chiang Xiao surfaced in his thoughts.

Even teetering on the edge of death, Old Master Jiang held family blood above all. Besides, Xiao Sixth's skills shown in recent days kept bolstering his faith, certain he could tread Xiao Sixth's road no matter the trials.

Old Master Jiang stayed firm, pressing on, "He fathered a daughter, now eighteen. That girl truly is Xiao Sixth's own blood, belonging to our Jiang Family."

The revelation hit like a boulder splashing endless waves.

Shock and disbelief gripped everyone.

Lu Shuangshuang swayed unsteadily, her complexion draining to white.

"Ah Liu, you..."

He possesses a daughter already! Unmarried, yet clearly a woman has been with him?

Fourth Master Jiang knit his brows, "Brother, you're saying the child is eighteen? Did a woman appear soon after Xiao Sixth departed? How young was Xiao Sixth back then? Impressive work, Xiao Sixth! And you insist you're not wed!"

"Xiao Sixth, is this the truth?" Third Master Jiang and Fifth Master Jiang pressed urgently.

Fifth Master Jiang, typically quiet and reserved, found himself compelled to inquire.

Jiang Shiheng gave a nod, confessing without reserve.

"Indeed, I have an eighteen-year-old daughter. She's incredibly clever, endearing, and remarkable."

Just Cheng Cheng, Chen Baoshen, and Chen Yiping caught how his eyes lit up with a smile at the mention of Chiang Xiao.
