CHAPTER 287: CHAPTER 287: PURPOSE OF THE VISIT

Don’t mention others, even Jiang Xue was somewhat stunned. It took her a while to regain her composure and praised, "Old Madam, your smile is truly beautiful."

"Xue’er, why do you still call me Old Madam? I am your grandmother, you should call me Grandma."

Jiang Xue didn’t respond to Old Madam, nor did she call her Grandma. Instead, she looked at her and Old Sir Jiang and directly asked, "You two haven’t said yet, what is the reason for coming to my home?"

Seeing Jiang Xue’s aloofness towards them, the two elders felt a bit saddened. However, they quickly suppressed it and said to Jiang Xue, "We came specially to find you."

"That much I know." Jiang Xue naturally knew they came specifically to find her. As for the reason, she had her guesses, but since the other party hadn’t mentioned it, she naturally wouldn’t say anything.

Sometimes, knowing doesn’t necessarily mean you have to say it out loud.

"Xue’er, you are the granddaughter of the Jiang Family. This time we came to have you recognize your ancestry and return to the family." Old Sir Jiang revealed his intentions, which weren’t to ask Jiang Xue to forgive Jiang Mingzhu, much to Jiang Xue’s relief.

Honestly, if they had come to plead for Jiang Mingzhu, she wouldn’t have known whether to agree or refuse. According to her own thoughts, she would definitely refuse. However, Old Jiang and Ah Yong were different. Ah Yong, she could flatly refuse and send him away, but she couldn’t do the same to Old Jiang.

Even if she didn’t want to admit it, she knew they must be her grandfather and grandmother.

However, Jiang Xue had never considered recognizing her ancestry. She only wanted to know who her parents were, nothing more.

So, after hearing the elders’ words, Jiang Xue asked, "Old Jiang, Old Madam, since I am your granddaughter, may I know where my parents are?"

In Jiang Xue’s mind, she was the abandoned one. Therefore, regarding those parents she had never met, she actually felt nothing in her heart, neither love nor hate.

However, she still wanted to see them at least once, but unfortunately, they hadn’t come. At this moment, Jiang Xue was completely unaware that her biological parents were already deceased.

At this moment, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret in her heart.

Upon hearing Jiang Xue’s question, Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang immediately felt saddened. How could they not want to see their son, but unfortunately, he had passed away twenty years ago.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Jiang Xue’s heart involuntarily sank. A bad premonition welled up in her heart, and she was somewhat afraid to learn the truth.

Old Sir Jiang patted his wife’s hand. Though just as saddened, he quickly suppressed his emotions, looked at Jiang Xue, and said, "Xue’er, you probably don’t know yet, but your parents are no longer with us. They passed away twenty years ago."

"I’m sorry!" Jiang Xue looked at the two elders. Except for saying sorry, she didn’t know what else to say. She had never met her parents, so she didn’t have deep feelings for them. Upon hearing the news of their passing, she only felt regret.

But the two elders were different. They would be heartbroken and sorrowful. Yet Jiang Xue didn’t know how to comfort them. At this moment, she felt some regret. If she had known earlier it was like this, she wouldn’t have brought it up.

However, it was too late for regrets now.

After a long while, Old Madam Jiang finally recovered, then looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Xue’er, can you call me Grandma?"

Just now, Jiang Xue kept calling her Old Madam, which actually saddened her. Only thinking that Jiang Xue had just learned of her identity, she didn’t mind it too much.
