Chapter 110 Diamond Discovery
"Let's talk it over nicely." Mother Jiang's tone was pleading. "Haven't you always wanted to see your daughter? Are you trying to drive her away again now?"
Father Jiang turned his head away, sulking.
Looking at his father who was becoming thinner and thinner, Jiang Man felt a lump in his throat and lowered his head.
"sister!"
At this time, my cousin Jiang Lu came out of the bedroom.
"Xiaolu, you are becoming more and more beautiful." Jiang Man praised sincerely.
Jiang Lu is the daughter of her uncle, two years younger than Jiang Man. Because the family had so many children and could not afford to raise a fourth child, they gave her to Jiang Man's parents for adoption.
She looked at Jiang Man, and although she was smiling, there was a hint of contempt in her eyes.
"Manman...the child's father, have you found him?" Jiang's mother asked cautiously, looking at Jiang Man with tender eyes.
Jiang Man stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer. This was indeed an embarrassing question.
Father Jiang slammed the table and said, "You don't even know who the father of the child is?!"
Jiang Man lowered her head slightly, her lips pressed into a stubborn arc, and the air around her seemed to freeze with her silent persistence.
In fact, she really couldn't answer this question.
"How could I, Jiang Yuning, have a daughter as shameless as you!" Father Jiang slammed the table in anger, veins bulging on his forehead. As soon as he finished speaking, he started coughing violently.
"Yu Ning!" Mother Jiang hurriedly touched his chest.
"Sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but can't you just give Uncle and Auntie some peace of mind?" Jiang Lu said, glancing around again. "And cousin, have you been living in a place like this all this time? Isn't the Lu family quite wealthy? Didn't you get any money after your divorce?"
Jiang Man looked at her parents sitting on the sofa. Her father's face was gloomy and she had no way to explain it.
Looking at Jiang Man, Jiang's mother knew her daughter must be feeling bad at the moment. She glanced at her husband beside her with a complaining look and asked in a choked voice, "Manman, have you suffered any hardship or hardship in the past few years?"
Jiang Man's eyes were filled with tears. "Mom, I'm fine." She forced a smile and said, "I'm really fine."
"That's fine, that's fine."
Father Jiang glanced at Jiang Man sideways, as if he was angry with him, and was unwilling to speak.
Jiang Man lowered his head and understood his father's temper.
"Manman, come and sit down. Mom has a lot to ask you." Jiang's mother patted the seat next to her and beckoned Jiang Man over.
Jiang Man was a little hesitant, but looking at his mother's expectant eyes, he didn't dare to refuse and walked over.
"Where's my grandson? Why don't I see him?"
"Xuanxuan is in school and won't be back until the afternoon."
A smile flashed in Jiang's mother's eyes as she looked at her daughter standing so close to her. After a few words, her nose began to feel sore again.
"Where's Lu Ziyin?" Father Jiang suddenly asked, "Back then, you insisted on being with him, even giving up your family! But where is he now? Where is he?!"
"Dad, this is none of his business." Jiang Man defended Lu Ziyin.
"It's none of his business? No matter how we tried to stop you, you were still with him."
"Talk less!" Jiang's mother interrupted Jiang's father, "You always have a big quarrel. You will not be satisfied until your daughter is mad and runs away, right?" As she spoke, Jiang's mother was about to cry again.
Father Jiang stopped talking, and Mother Jiang took her daughter to the kitchen to talk.
"Manman, we didn't intend to tell you that your father might be in the late stage of cancer."
This news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Jiang Man with a blank and buzzing mind.
Jiang's mother burst into tears, "I'm afraid that if you two never see each other again, you'll lose even this last chance to be together."
Jiang Man turned her head to look at her father, who was still serious, and her eyes gradually became moist. She bit her lip tightly, trying hard to suppress the sadness that was about to surge in her heart.
There was finally a crack on Jiang's father's usually serious face, his eyes were slightly red, he slowly raised his arm and gently patted Jiang Man on the back.
The warmth from her back pierced Jiang Man's heart like a needle, and each blow was like a heavy hammer falling on her fragile heart.
Jiang Lu witnessed this scene and curled her lips in disdain. She had no interest in such a sentimental scene.
She felt it was a shame to stay here, so she walked to the window, trying to divert her attention. Her eyes flashed and caught sight of a piggy bank not far away.
She glanced at Jiang Man, who was still silently weeping beside her, and picked up the piggy bank out of boredom. She fiddled with it for a few times and easily opened the lid. A beam of light illuminated the interior of the piggy bank, and the small cloth bag that Xuanxuan had placed inside came into view.
She opened the cloth bag with curiosity, and inside were sparkling pebbles!
Jiang Lu's eyes suddenly widened, in surprise and disbelief.
She gritted her teeth, and when no one was paying attention, she quickly took out a small stone from the piggy bank, then restored it to its original state and sat back in her original position as if nothing had happened.
"When do we eat?"
Hearing Jiang Lu's call, Jiang Man sniffed, forced himself to straighten up, wiped the tears from his face, and tried hard to suppress the sadness in his heart, "I forgot, Mom and Dad, you must be hungry too, right? I'll go cook."
Father Jiang remained silent, staring at his daughter with mixed feelings.
Those deeply rooted ideas told him that his daughter's behavior was wrong, but he had not much time left and longed to enjoy family happiness.
Seeing this, Jiang's mother couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This kind of harmonious family life was exactly what she had hoped for.
Jiang's mother cooked and prepared a table full of delicious dishes, most of which were Jiang Man's favorites.
"Mom, I'm back." Xuanxuan shouted happily.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a strange grandfather sitting on the sofa. He scratched his head and asked curiously, "Grandpa, are you the guest invited by Mom?" He stood straight and politely.
Father Jiang looked at Xuanxuan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, "Are you Xuanxuan?" he asked.
"Yes, it's me!" Xuanxuan raised his chin proudly.
Father Jiang coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "I'm your grandpa."
"Grandpa?" Xuanxuan was full of curiosity. "Mom never mentioned it."
To be honest, Xuanxuan always thought that he didn't have grandparents, so he never asked his mother.
"Come here." Father Jiang waved to Xuanxuan.
Xuanxuan hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.
"How have you and your mother been doing these years?" he asked with concern.
Xuanxuan looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Mom is a little confused. It always takes a long time to find a job, and we don't have enough money, so we can only eat instant noodles." Xuanxuan pouted, then smiled again, "But Mom said that no matter how difficult or hard it is, you must face it with a smile, and then good luck will come."
Father Jiang nodded, feeling both sorry for his daughter and pleased that she had such an attitude.
