Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Recognizing Godparents
Luo Qiao changed her clothes and put the ones she’d taken off back into her bag, preparing to wash them in her space that night. Although she knew that if she washed them now, they would be dry by the time she left, she still felt it was inappropriate to do laundry while a guest in someone else’s home.
When she came out of the washroom, Yuan Jianing had already been waiting for her outside, and quickly came up to her, "Quick, quick, quick, my parents and my uncle and aunt have returned."
The two entered the living room and all eyes turned toward them. Seeing Luo Qiao, Yuan Weizhou and his wife, as well as Yuan Weihan and his wife, all smiled. Song Huizhen stood up, "I’ve always heard Old Master Yuan mention you; I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful."
Tiong Shulan from the second branch hurried over with a smile, "Big Sister, you’ve got Jia Ning already. Since Old Master Yuan has recognized a god-granddaughter, why don’t you become a daughter to our second branch? Look at my three naughty boys, I don’t even have a little cotton-padded jacket."
Her words had barely finished when the second brother Yuan Weihan also said with a smile, "I think that’s a good suggestion, but we should consider what Luo Qiao herself thinks about it."
Tiong Shulan said with a laugh, "Luo Qiao, you know about our family. Ever since I gave birth to Yuan Jiaxing, I’ve had no more children. I’ve always dreamt of having a daughter, and when I saw you today, I immediately wanted you to be my daughter. Can you do that?"
To tell the truth, Luo Qiao didn’t know how to answer. She had never considered forming such honorary kinship; it was too troublesome. It’s all well if you get along, but it would be quite awkward if you didn’t.
Old Master Yuan said, "I think it’s a good idea. From now on, this will be Luo Qiao’s home, a home in every legal sense. These brothers and sisters will protect you in the future, and this old man can rest assured."
Since Old Master Yuan had spoken, Luo Qiao could only respond with a smile, "If Auntie does not mind, then I will cheekily accept."
Tiong Shulan said with a laugh, "What Auntie? Call me ’Mom’. Oh my, I have a daughter now."
Luo Qiao felt somewhat embarrassed; she hadn’t yet called Ning Xueling ’Mom’, so it was hard to utter it. However, seeing the hopeful look in Tiong Shulan’s eyes, she struggled for a while and finally said, "Godmom."
Tiong Shulan laughed joyfully, "Hey, hey, in the future, remove that ’god’ and call me ’Mom’ just like Jiaxing and the others."
Luo Qiao smiled and then called out again, "Mom."
Tiong Shulan joyfully responded, "Hey," then turned to Yuan Weihan and said, "Come over, we have a daughter now, you don’t seem excited at all."
With a smile all over his face, Yuan Weihan came over and said, "I was just letting you have your moment."
Tiong Shulan turned to Luo Qiao and said, "Come on, Qiaoqiao, call ’Dad’."
Luo Qiao actually quite liked Tiong Shulan’s character; since she had already called ’Mom,’ there was no need to be pretentious, and she directly said, "Dad."
Yuan Weihan said with a big smile, "Hey, now I can also show off to people. I also have a daughter now."
If Luo Haotian was here, he’d probably die of jealousy, haha!
The atmosphere changed completely with that. Tiong Shulan took Luo Qiao to Old Master Yuan, "Dad, thank you. You’ve found us such a wonderful daughter."
Tiong Shulan’s words were not false as she had always wanted a daughter but had no luck after giving birth to three sons. Tiong Shulan’s cousin once wanted to bring her little daughter over for her to raise, but Tiong Shulan did not agree.
For years, their second branch treated Yuan Jianing from the first branch as their own beloved daughter, but today, upon meeting Luo Qiao, Tiong Shulan took an instant liking to her. As for Luo Qiao’s character, Tiong Shulan wasn’t the slightest bit worried.
Old Master Yuan, a man of great astuteness, had taken her under his wing, surely her character couldn’t be flawed.
Thus, the initial meeting today turned swiftly into a day of recognizing kinship.
Since it was a day of recognizing relatives, Old Master Yuan felt it should be treated seriously. So, he sent several grandsons on different missions.
He sent Yuan Jiayi out to bring back some staple dishes, while Yuan Jiaxing and Yuan Jiaze went to inform some of Master Yuan’s old comrades and buddies to come over as witnesses.
Yuan Jiaming was dispatched to buy candies, drinks, and alcohol, and incidentally pick up the Old Couple Yang to come over.
Yuan Jianing then accompanied Luo Qiao around the big courtyard to get familiar with the environment.
After Old Master Yuan finished arranging everything, Song Huizhen said, "Shulan, let’s go. We should help Sister Chen out so she doesn’t get overwhelmed."
Seeing everyone had left, Old Master Yuan entered the study with his three sons.
