Chapter 563: Chapter 0563 The Name of Xibao 5_1

Jiang Xiaoyue’s fiancé was named Li Jun, a young man of noble birth. They had been childhood friends, and their affection and forthcoming marriage seemed to be a natural development. However, when Li Jun, driven by his privileged background, made an egregious error during a visit to Jiang Xiaoyue by flirting with some other female soldiers, he was immediately beaten by the quick-tempered Jiang Yun and then sentenced to labor reform for his lascivious behavior.

Of course, their engagement was subsequently cancelled.

The Li family refused to accept this, bringing up past disciplinary actions against Jiang Xiaoyue, which resulted in enmity between the two families. This feud in turn impacted Jiang Xiaoyue’s prospects for marriage.

Families of similar status were reluctant to offend the Li family in order to marry Jiang Xiaoyue. They were also concerned about her past disciplinary records due to her correspondences with Li Jun. Lower-status families or those whose sons were spoiled were willing to marry Jiang Xiaoyue, but Jiang Yun and even Jiang Xiaoyue herself had no interest in such unsatisfactory suitors.

Jiang Yun, a seasoned revolutionary who had fought through many wars, had no respect for children who relied on their parents’ protection and refused to strive on their own. Initially, he had allowed his daughter to associate with Li Jun, who showed promise, but he didn’t expect this decision to harm her.

Time slipped away, and Jiang Xiaoyue was in her early twenties, nearly causing her father and her brother’s family to go mad with worry.

Wang Xinsheng, who had recently returned to work, stepped in as a matchmaker and introduced Lu Tianjun to Jiang Xiaoyue.

Although Lu Tianjun’s background was not ideal—having been born out of wedlock—his good looks, capability, and impeccable manners made up for it. There was no concern about his future prospects, and he was far superior to those privileged playboys who had born into a notable family but were unwilling to strive for their future.

Jiang Yun approved, and Jiang Xiaoyue was also quite fond of him. They shared a similar temperament, and thus, the two became a couple.

These are sourced from Jiang Xiaoyue’s memoirs.

Even without children, Jiang Xiaoyue and Lu Tianjun had a very happy life. Feng Qingxue was starting to worry... By altering Jiang Xiaoyue’s punishment, would she impact Jiang Xiaoyue’s future marriage to Lu Tianjun?

No matter what, she’ll deal with it when the time comes, she thought to herself. At worst, she’ll play matchmaker personally for Lu Tianjun and wait for Li Jun to make a mistake.

Jiang Xiaoyue had no idea that, in this moment, Feng Qingxue’s mind was running through countless thoughts. As Feng Qingxue mentioned her nephew, Jiang Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, "In my family, the older siblings also took care of the younger ones. My sister-in-law raised me by herself. After all, I am the same age as my eldest nephew!" Her mother had died in childbirth, and she was nursed by her sister-in-law. So her eldest nephew had to settle for infant formula.

When she was very young, Jiang Xiaoyue vaguely remembered calling her sister-in-law ’mom’. It wasn’t until she got a bit older, and after much coaxing from her family, that she started calling her ’sister-in-law’. She cried and begged everyone to give her mother back.

Feng Qingxue was momentarily taken aback, recalling Jiang Xiaoyue’s childhood mentioned in her memoir, and quickly changed the subject to Xibao.

Simply handing Xibao over to Jiang Xiaoyue was enough.

Although Jiang Xiaoyue was neither a conventional beauty nor delicate, there was a clean and fresh aura about her. Xibao took to her instantly, showing no signs of being unfamiliar, directly falling into her arms.

"Wow, Xibao is really well-behaved!" Jiang Xiaoyue expertly held Xibao and kissed him on his left cheek.

Xibao naturally turned his face and offered his right cheek.

Jiang Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, then quickly kissed it. Seeing him lower his head, she kissed him on the forehead, too. Only then did the satisfied little boy sit in her arms, contentedly fiddling with her braided pigtails.
