Chapter 753: 197: Recognize Family! _6
Zheng Lingling, Sun Wu, and Zheng Xianjing stood next to Mrs. Zheng, all their eyes looking in the same direction not too far away.
Zheng Xianjing couldn’t wait to see those country bumpkins.
She was even more hoping that these country bumpkins would make fools of themselves.
Perhaps those country bumpkins would not even be able to speak standard Mandarin.
Thinking about this, Zheng Xianjing’s eyes were filled with disdain.
At this moment, two black cars slowly appeared in everyone’s sight.
Mrs. Zheng tightly held Mr. Zheng’s hand, excitedly said, “They’re coming! They’re coming!”
“Bang Bang Bang!”
The sound of firecrackers and fireworks echoed in the air.
The black cars stopped one after another.
The servants immediately ran over to open the car doors.
A couple came out of the first car.
The woman had an exquisite appearance, making it difficult to tell her real age.
The man next to her was tall, wearing glasses, emitting a scholarly fragrance, and holding a child about two to three years old in his arms.
This couple is…
Shangguan Dehui!
This was Shangguan Dehui, but who was the woman standing next to him?
This was clearly the Zheng family’s reunion event, what was Shangguan Dehui doing here?
For a moment, Zheng Lingling was a bit taken aback.
The second car brought out two men and two women, among them three were young people, and a middle-aged woman, who looked to be in her forties or fifties.
Zheng Xianjing recognized two of them as Shangguan Xu and Shangguan Xi. The person in the middle with outstanding looks and cool temperament was unmistakably Ni Yang!
Ni Yang?
Why was she here too!
She didn’t recognize the middle-aged woman.
Each one of these people was extraordinary; not one resembled the rural folks she had imagined in her mind.
What on earth was happening?
By the time the mother and daughter could react, Mr. and Mrs. Zheng were already introducing them to everyone.
“Lingling, Sun Wu, this is your sister Tingting, this is your brother-in-law, Shangguan Dehui, and this is Tingting’s sworn sister, Chenggui. You must thank Chenggui who has taken care of your sister over these past two years in Beijing…”
Initially, Ni Chenggui didn’t plan on coming, but Ni Cuihua insisted that she should.
Ni Cuihua is not an ungrateful person. Since she decided to treat Ni Chenggui as her sister, she would treat her as sister for the rest of her life.
Hearing this, Zheng Lingling was stunned.
Zheng Lingling had expected to see a coarse and ugly rural woman, but reality had given her a hard slap on the face.
The country bumpkin in her eyes turned out to be Shangguan Dehui’s wife!
And she was so beautiful!
“Sister Tingting, brother-in-law, and Sister Chenggui, nice to meet you.” Zheng Lingling tried to calm down and greeted them with a smile.
Ni Cuihua said with a smile, “Sister Lingling, thank you and Brother-in-law for taking care of mom all these years. You have worked hard.”
“Taking care of mom is my responsibility, Sister Tingting, you’re too polite.” Is this Ni Cuihua already itching to assert her authority?!
At that moment, Zheng Lingling narrowed her eyes, as if she had suddenly remembered something!
That’s right!
She seemed to have seen Ni Cuihua before!
It was two years ago during the New Year!
The memories in Zheng Lingling’s mind became clearer and clearer.
No wonder when she first laid eyes on Ni Cuihua and her daughter, she had a vague sense of impending crisis.
Two years ago, when Ni Cuihua had just arrived in Beijing, she exuded a certain shabbiness that betrayed her humble origins. That must’ve been why Zheng Lingling didn’t give her any importance.
Unexpectedly, in the span of two years, there had been such a tremendous change in Ni Cuihua!
If she had known, she wouldn’t have allowed Ni Cuihua the chance to stay in Beijing.
She was full of regret!
Zheng Lingling looked at the radiant Ni Cuihua, her regret so deep it was as if her intestines were turning green.
Ni Chenggui watched Zheng Lingling, his brows furrowed subtly.
Zheng Lingling seemed enthusiastic, but her words were far from cordial. It appeared he needed to warn Ni Cuihua.
Madam Zheng then introduced Zheng Xianjing to everyone, “Xianjing, this is your oldest cousin, Xiaoxu, this is your cousin Xiaoxi, this is your second cousin Yangyang, and this little one in my arms is your youngest cousin Yunyun.”
Zheng Xianjing never expected that Ni Yang would turn out to be her cousin!
Even more surprising was the fact that Ni Yang’s mother was Madam Zheng’s long-lost daughter!
What right did a small-time trader like Ni Yang have to be her cousin?
Zheng Xianjing was extremely uncomfortable, but she still put on a polite smile and greeted everyone, “Cousin, Cousin, second cousin, little cousin.”
Ni Yang, who had previously engaged with Zheng Xianjing a few times, knew that Zheng Xianjing wasn’t as gentle and kind as she appeared, smiling said: “Cousin, we meet again.”
Shangguan Xi exclaimed in surprise, “Yangyang, you’ve met Xianjing before?”
Ni Yang nodded, “A few times.”
Shangguan Xi replied, “That really is fate!”
Ni Yang’s mouth teased into a modest smile, “Indeed, it is fate.”
Zheng Xianjing clenched her hands tightly hidden inside her sleeves.
Was Ni Yang deliberately provoking her?
Just then, Madam Zheng led Mo Qishen over, “Look at my forgetful brain, there’s one more person I need to introduce. Lingling, this is Yangyang’s boyfriend!”
Mo Qishen stood next to Ni Yang, politely greeting everyone. Initially, he and Zheng Lingling were of the same generation, but now he was a generation lower and had to call Zheng Lingling aunty.
Upon hearing this, half of the anger that Zheng Lingling had suppressed in her heart instantly vanished.
So this useless Mo Qishen was Ni Yang’s boyfriend.
A broken donkey covered in a straw mat also needs a good saddle, it seems!
Hearing this, scorn flashed in Zheng Xianjing’s eyes.
So what if Ni Yang was beautiful?
In the end, she’d still ended up with that useless Mo Qishen!
The group then entered the hall.
The Zheng family’s relatives all gathered around.
They were all extremely curious about what Madam Zheng’s daughter, who had been missing for over thirty years, looked like.
They were especially intrigued upon hearing that Zheng Tingting had grown up in the countryside and was illiterate…
Yet, the family before them didn’t look like they were from the countryside at all.
Ni Yang followed behind Madam Zheng, quickly recognizing all her great aunts and uncles.
When everyone learned that Mo Qishen was Ni Yang’s boyfriend, they had complicated expressions in their eyes.
But Ni Yang didn’t mind at all, and neither did Mo Qishen.
“Mom, what are we going to do now?” Zheng Xianjing went to Zheng Lingling’s side and asked in a low voice.
They were originally waiting to see Ni Cuihua make a fool of herself in front of everyone. But Ni Cuihua’s elegance, poise, and outstanding demeanor made it impossible for them to find fault with her.
Zheng Lingling patted Zheng Xianjing’s hand and reassured her in a whisper, “Even if a bumpkin is wrapped in a beauty’s skin, no matter how well she behaves, she is still an illiterate bumpkin inside. Don’t worry, the good show is yet to begin.”
