Jiang Jian brought Ling Wei to the old mansion to see the other family members.
Jiang Jian led Ling Wei to the traditional family home, nestled in a serene garden.
As they entered, warm smiles greeted them.
Grandma Jiang's eyes sparkled.
"Ah, this child, you finally bring someone home."
Ling Wei's nerves dissipated under Grandma Jiang's warm gaze.
"Come over, let Grandma look at you properly."
Ling Wei stood up and sat beside Grandma Jiang, embracing her arm.
"Grandma," she said coquettishly.
Grandma Jiang chuckled.
"I really like this child, Jian."
Nanny Wang appeared with a red packet.
"Nanny Wang, bring the gift I prepared," Grandma Jiang instructed.
Nanny Wang handed Ling Wei the packet.
"This is your gift, welcome to the family."
Ling Wei glanced at Jiang Jian; he nodded.
She accepted the gift, her heart full.
"Thank you, Grandma."
Grandma Jiang patted her hand.
"Call me Grandma from now on."
The room filled with laughter and warmth.
Jiang Jian's aunts and uncles gathered around, eager to meet Ling Wei.
The family's acceptance enveloped her, dispelling her doubts.
As they shared stories and laughter, Ling Wei felt at home.
Jiang Jian's hand found hers, a reassuring squeeze.
"You're part of the family now," he whispered.
Ling Wei's heart swelled.
...
After dinner, Ling Wei strolled through the garden with Grandma Jiang.
The evening air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers.
Grandma Jiang's eyes twinkled in the fading light.
"This child has always been cold since young, but he has a warm heart."
Ling Wei smiled, understanding.
"I know, Grandma."
Grandma Jiang's hands wrapped around Ling Wei's.
"I'll take care of him," Ling Wei promised.
Grandma Jiang's face softened.
"I'm rest assured now. You're a good girl, Ling Wei."
She paused, studying Ling Wei's face.
"You've brought light into Jian's life. He deserves happiness."
Ling Wei's heart swelled.
"I'll make him happy, Grandma."
Grandma Jiang nodded, a gentle smile on her face.
"I know you will. You two are meant to be."
As they walked, the sound of chirping crickets accompanied them.
Ling Wei felt a deep connection to this kind, wise woman.
Grandma Jiang's approval warmed her heart.
Jiang Jian joined them, slipping his arm around Ling Wei's waist.
"Grandma, I think it's time for us to head back."
Grandma Jiang nodded.
"Come back soon, Ling Wei. You're family now."
Ling Wei hugged Grandma Jiang tightly.
"I will, Grandma. Thank you for accepting me."
