268 Reunited (1/2)

”Young Miss, Young Master, I will take you in,” the butler said with a huge smile on his face. He had not thought that after a few years, there would be good news in the Jiang residence. The last time they had good news was when Jiang Xiao Xian's wife gave birth to the small young master.

The butler was about to usher them in when he noticed another silhouette stood behind the two. The butler paused as he gave the stranger a scrutinizing glance. ”And who is this?”

”Butler Xia, this is my friend, Li Ran,” Mingyue introduced.

The butler watched him with his eyes wide. A smile grew on his face as he bowed. ”Young Master Li, welcome.” He greeted politely. Then, he escorted them into the hall and instructed the maidservant to prepare some refreshments for the guests. Only then did he led Mingyue and her husband to her parent's courtyard.

Mingyue took a deep breath as she stood in front of the door. He waited outside while the butler informed his master that a few guests wanted to meet him.

Knowing that the butler will not lead just anyone into their residence at a time like this, General Jiang quickly agreed to meet with the guest. Just as he stepped out of the room, General Jiang saw two silhouettes stood in front of his courtyard. Because the two guests had their back facing him, General Jiang could not guess who they were.

General Jiang Huan cleared his throat to get their attention. Just as the two turned around to him, the general's expression quickly changed. His face paled, and his mouth agape as he took a step forward. General Jiang narrowed his eyes to get a clear look. ”Mi-Mingyue?”

”Father,” Mingyue looked at his father with teary eyes. She had not seen him for a few years, and it looked like his father had gotten really old. ”Father, it's me.”

Jiang Huan felt his knees weakened. He took a few staggering steps before his daughter reached his side. Only when he felt Mingyue's warm hands holding his arms, did Jiang Huan felt that he was not dreaming. His daughter was really standing in front of him!

Jiang Mingyue nodded furiously. Her tears streamed down her face. She opened her mouth to speak, but only a whimper came out. She could not utter a word. In the end, Mingyue bit on her lips to stop herself from crying.

The father and daughter held each other in an embrace for a long time. None of them noticed that the mother stood behind them with tears welled up in her eyes.

”Mother,” Yang Yun was the first to notice that his mother-in-law was ha walked out of her room.

The father and daughter turned around simultaneously. Their eyes grew soft as they watched Mingyue's mother, Han Yunyi, leaned on the wall to stand up.

Mingyue stretched up her hand, ”Mother.” Her voice turned hoarse.

Han Yunyi sobbed as she heard her daughter's voice. Her legs gained strength as she stepped forward to her husband and daughter. Mingyue pulled her mother into a hug. The two women continued to cry, releasing their grievance and yearning for each other.

Yang Yun stood at the side, watching the family of three reunited after six years. Yang Yun turned to butler Xia and asked him to send someone to inform the others of Mingyue's return.
