Chapter 495 Official Name Change, Xie Yunjiang

The children played happily with Grandpa Gu in the yard, while Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu talked in the living room.

I had just sat down for a short while when a phone call came in.

"Hello, who is this?"

Shu Ying asked politely, but then heard two familiar voices coming from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, it's Yingying. You're home from get off work?"

Shu Ying paused for a moment.

"Mom and Dad?"

It turned out to be Xie Wenyuan and Huang Meiling.

Shu Ying was a little confused: "Mom and Dad, didn't you go out to buy things? Why are you calling back all of a sudden? Do you not have enough money? I'll come and bring you some right now..."

"No, no, your dad and I just received a message from the base saying that there's an emergency there that requires our attention. We're at the station now and about to board the train, so we called you from a public phone to let you know."

"But don't worry, we'll be going back in a couple of days."

Shu Ying looked at Xie Mingzhu.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Mingzhu decided to tell her parents the good news first.

Although they wouldn't be back for a few more days, she couldn't wait and wanted to make them happy first.

After hearing Xie Mingzhu's words, Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan on the other end of the phone were silent for a moment, then first laughed in disbelief and relief, and then couldn't help but cry.

They knew what their daughter had been through all these years, and no one felt more sorry for Xie Mingzhu than they did.

Apart from Xie Mingzhu, no one could understand Xie Mingzhu's pain of not being able to find her child better than them.

This good news was like a ray of sunshine breaking through the dark clouds, brightening everyone's hearts.

Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan couldn't stop being happy for Xie Mingzhu on the other end of the phone, and they cried tears of joy.

Hearing her parents cry, Xie Mingzhu, who had finally managed to calm down, couldn't help but be moved to tears as well.

The three of them stood on the phone and wept for a long time, with Huang Meiling repeatedly expressing her emotions.

"This is such a wonderful thing... Before this, I never dared to imagine it. I never thought that our family would actually have this day of reunion. It's so great."

In the end, Shu Ying, who was watching from the side, felt a lump in her throat and quickly spoke up to interrupt.

"Mom and Dad, sister, this is good news! Now the child is back with your sister. Everything in our family is getting better, and it will definitely get better in the future. Don't cry."

Huang Meiling quickly wiped away her tears.

"Yes, Yingying is right, our family will definitely have a better future! Mingzhu, let's not cry anymore."

"Um."

Xie Mingzhu wiped away her tears, smiled again, and promised that when they returned, the family would sit down together and have a proper reunion dinner.

That evening, Xie Mingzhu and Shu Ying prepared a large thank-you banquet and invited Grandpa Gu to eat with them.

Grandpa Gu was somewhat flattered by the exquisite dishes on the table.

"You're too kind. I've been taking care of Jiangjiang all these years, but Jiangjiang has also been keeping me company."

"My grandson's personality..."

Grandpa Gu didn't even want to mention Gu Yanjun, that stubborn and foul-tempered fellow.

Turning his head to see Jiang Jiang happily eating, the smile returned to his face.

"Our Jiangjiang is still the cutest. I don't know how I would have gotten through these years without Jiangjiang."

Strictly speaking, Jiang Jiang is his great-grandson.

God knows how many years he had longed for this great-grandson.

If you're hoping to rely on Gu Yanjun, you'll probably have to wait until your next life.

Fortunately, the old man was clever and found such a good great-grandson.

No matter how the old man thought about it, he felt that his decision back then was quite correct and wise.

The meal was quite harmonious, with the three children making witty remarks that brought joy to everyone at the table.

Looking at the smiling faces on the table, Xie Mingzhu finally felt a real sense that life was gradually getting better.

That's wonderful; she truly hopes life can stay this good forever.

That evening, the old man played with the children until very late, and only left reluctantly when it was time for them to go to bed.

The next morning, Xie Mingzhu prepared the relevant documents and took her child to register the household registration.

Her child, without a doubt, will take her surname.

Looking at the three characters "Xie Yunjiang" on the household registration book, Jiangjiang jumped up and down happily for a long time. Almost every time he met a friend, he would reintroduce himself to them. He especially liked this new name with his mother's surname added to it.

Back at school, Jiangjiang couldn't wait to tell Yangyang and Yueyue the good news.

"From today onwards, we will all share the surname Xie, and we will be brothers and sisters living together!"

The three of them held hands almost all day long, inseparable wherever they went, and had an extremely good relationship.

Even after they got home, the three kids were still playing together, as if they wished they could never be separated. They were very close.

Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu each held a cup of tea, looking out from the living room, unable to suppress smiles.

"very nice."

Xie Mingzhu sighed, her gaze falling again on Shu Ying's protruding belly.

“Our house was already big, and I used to think it was quiet and not lively. But now it’s great, Jiangjiang has been found, and my little nephew and niece are about to be born.”

"I can't even imagine how lively our house will be after the baby is born."

They all have a lively personality, and just imagining it makes me feel warm and happy.

Although the three kids are always holding hands and sticking together like wooden dolls holding hands, they don't just play together all the time.
