Chapter 1312: From Now On, We’ll Raise Two Daughters
The Master and Madam Jiang contemplated for a moment.
Then Master Jiang took the initiative and said, "So... young lady, how should we address you?"
"My previous name was the same as Jiang Ying’s, but I was called Jiang Ying’er," she replied.
The Master and Madam Jiang were taken aback.
The names were similar, which made it difficult to differentiate in addressing.
Master Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Our daughter was originally named Jiang Mian before the accident."
"But a passing Taoist predicted that she would encounter danger and must change her name, so it was changed to Jiang Ying."
"However, soon after she changed her name, the accident occurred. Perhaps this name wasn’t suitable for her."
"Yet, the name Jiang Ying has brought you hope for rebirth, which is a good thing for you."
"So from now on, you shall remain Jiang Ying, and she will return to being Jiang Mian."
Jiang Ying was somewhat surprised.
Master Jiang’s attitude was unexpected.
She had initially thought this family would resent her for occupying their daughter’s body.
But unexpectedly, the Master and Madam Jiang understood this astonishing situation.
They knew it was beyond Jiang Ying’s control, so they naturally didn’t blame her.
For a moment, Jiang Ying’s eyes brimmed with warmth: "Thank you."
Master Jiang asked again, "Do you remember where your home is or where you’re from?"
Jiang Ying shook her head: "I have no family."
The Master and Madam Jiang were taken aback.
Jiang Ying lowered her eyelashes and said, "Before coming here, I was an orphan."
She grew up in an orphanage and was able to complete university thanks to the support of enthusiastic people from various circles.
After graduation, Jiang Ying chose to return to the orphanage and became a teacher.
The day she got into the car accident was actually Children’s Day, and while buying ice cream for the children in the orphanage, she was hit by a car while crossing the street.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ying felt some regret.
She had promised those little ones for a long time that she would definitely buy them ice cream.
Unsure if the little ones would feel sad due to the unfulfilled promise if an accident befell her.
At this moment, Madam Jiang’s voice pulled Jiang Ying back to reality.
"Since that’s the case, on our way back, we discussed it as well. You were our daughter for several years, easing the pain of losing a child."
"You called us mom and dad so many times, and if you’d like, you can stay."
"From now on, we will treat you as our daughters."
"This is also Mian’er’s intention."
Jiang Ying widened her eyes in disbelief: "R-really?"
Madam Jiang nodded with a smile.
Master Jiang said, "Originally, we intended to help you find your biological parents."
"But if you are truly alone and helpless, it’s better to stay; child, fate has arranged this because you are meant to be with us."
Jiang Ying’s tears now truly couldn’t be stopped.
She choked up, saying, "Thank you."
"Actually, I originally wanted to find a master to Summon Souls to retrieve your biological daughter and return this body to her."
"But before I had the chance, she was already found."
As Jiang Ying spoke, she handed out the red paper with Jiang Mian’s birth dates written on it.
Madam Jiang sighed, "Such is fate. By the way, child, when is your birthdate?"
Jiang Ying hesitated a bit.
She was an orphan; the director said that one rainy year at night, she heard a baby crying at the door and found her lying in a bundle.
Her parents abandoned her, leaving no information.
Originally, the day she entered the orphanage should have been Jiang Ying’s birthday.
