Two rows of servant with cordial smile and straight posture stood facing each other creating a narrow path to walk in the middle. Totally Disciplined , the exact style of Jiang Fengwei.
This was the scene , Tang Xiulan saw as she entered. Seeing the grand welcoming made her perplexed making her stood stunned. The driver who was following her with her luggage was also dumbfounded.
Shaking herself out of her trance she swiftly walked into the living room of the Jiang mansion. The living room was styled in an unique European mixed Chinese interior , giving it a profound modernized yet royal look.
In the middle of the room stood four people . Through her memories she identified them as her cousin , eldest uncle- aunt and Grandfather.
The old man had a straight posture as he stood ramrod without showing any signs of old age. She knew that her grandfather was a retired military veteran and also a significant military official. Although at present he had disconnected himself from the military due to old age but the perseverance and discipline of the military could be still seen in his lifestyle. His aura valiant and strong.
Walking towards the old man she bowed her head and softly greeted. " Grandfather. "
Grandpa Jiang forced his tears back and solemnly nodded at her. Raising his trembling hands , he softly ruffled her head. He wanted to speak but his emotions were too frenzied. He inspected her probing her health through his sharp eyes.
After confirming that she was in good health , he stood quietly. He first wanted to ask about how she fell down the stairs but he feared to anger her.
Tang Xuilan walked towards her eldest uncle and aunt and greeted them. Her eldest Uncle Jiang Fenghui had the same disposition and temperament as Grandpa Jiang. It was disappointing that he was not interested in military despite Grandpa Jiang persuading and made his name in the business world . His stubbornness had yield a good result and made Jiang Family a head in Business Sector.
His wife though was the heiress of ancient martial art Xu family and was a famous Jewellery designer.
When Tang Xiulan greeted them , Eldest Uncle patted her head lovingly while her Eldest Aunt Hugged her as tear flowed from her eyes. " Lan'er ! "
Tang Xiulan remain stunned at the sudden expression of care. The previous Xiulan had no contact with Jiang family after her mother death while the present one saw them first time. Also Tang Xiulan had no family to show her care or love in her previous life hence she was shocked . But she loved the feeling of warmth they showed that could melt any coldness. She liked the selfless love and care they were showing her.
" Hello , Younger cousin. Do you remember me? I 'm your one and only older cousin Jiang Chen. You can call be Brother Chen. "
The sudden saccharine -coated , extra lively voice broke the layer of warm emotions in the living room. Tang Xiulan turned to look at the direction of the voice only to come across a flashy smiled young men dressed in an extreme flamboyant pink suit.
Although the colour look looked tacky but he carried it very well making him look like a male idol. Thhe small canines peeking out as he smiled gave him a cute look.
Tang Xiulan could've also assumed him as a playful person if she didn't knew his identity. Well looked could be deceptive. The young man who was just 21 year old , three year older than her was already a known businessmen in the Business World. The Boss of No.1 Entertainment Company and A Fashion Brand at such a young age was remarkable.
Tang Xiulan who was lost in her thoughts was suddenly engulfed in a tight embrace. Before she could think anything , her reflex had already twisted his hands and pinned him on the floor making him cry out in pain.
The whole room went silent. Grandpa Jiang forgot to react as his eyes remained at her posture. His old eyes flashed with a glint.The action were so fast that he couldn't even see her moves. Jiang Fenghui and Xu Zili were too stunned to react.
" Ahh! Little Cousin , It hurts ! " The painful cry shook her out of the daze and also the others to come out of their trance. Releasing his arms , Tang Xiulan stood up and dusted her clothes , before helping the poor Jiang Chen stand up.
Pursuing her lips with embarrassment , she gave him a big bow as she apologized. " I'm Extremely Sorry. Just now I was thinking something and you just....Sorry Again. "
Seeing Tang Xiulan apologizing , heads ducked with guilt Jiang Chen who was massaging her hands himself felt guilty.
Before he could say anything , Xu Zili interrupted as she patted Tang Xiulan head softly. " Why 're you apologizing? Its that Idiot fault."
Jiang chen pouted , " Mom."
Xu Zili glared at her son before saying , " Such a big boy but don't know anything. Lan'er is not a child anymore. How can you hug her without thinking? You deserve to get a beating. "
Tang Xiulan: " .... "
Jiang Chen: "......"
Jiang chen pouted before turning to Tang Xiulan. He took a exquisite box from the table and presented it to her. Tang Xiulan looked at his big grin before taking the box from him.
" Open it . I have personally selected it for you. " Jiang Chen excited voice stopped Tang Xiulan from putting the box at the side. Taking a look at him , Tang Xiulan opened the box and her nostrils got attacked by the delicious aroma of the red velvet cake. She raised her head to look at him to see his smile getting wider .
" Little Cousin you know I stood in the line for hours to get you your favourite cake from your favourite shop."
Jiang chen informed as if he was afraid that nobody could seen his hard work. His eyes glistening as he stares at Tang Xiulan. His expression totally said ' praise me first for my hard work. '
Tang Xiulan mouth twitched before she spoke with a slight smile. " Thank you Brother Chen. "
Jiang Chen happily smiled after hearing her. Xu Zili shook her head as she took a look at her son but smiled seeing Xiulan opening up and treating them like a family.
" Housekeeper Yi , show Lan'er her room."
Grandpa Jiang ordered. He lips curved upward as he saw Xiulan happily talking with Her Cousin. He felt that his family was finally together. If only if he Didn't allowed His daughter to go their then Xiulan could've a mother and he would've seen Xiulan growing in front of his eyes. If and only if.....
