Chapter 1556 Jiang Tong Can't Smile
"Next summer!"
"Huh?" Wenya snorted. "It'll take so long? Does that mean my little brother won't call me 'sister' until next year? No, there's also 'second sister,' so he'll have to call me 'third sister.'"
As she spoke, Wenya quickly looked at Jiang Tong with a smile.
"Second sister, don't worry, I will definitely tell my brother that he has two older sisters and you are the eldest."
Jiang Tong couldn't smile...
She lowered her neck slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
A complex mix of emotions, along with a touch of sadness that was hard to ignore, enveloped Jiang Tong at that moment.
Li Jingchen's gaze fell on Jiang Tong. He frowned and took her hand in his lap.
"Second sister? Second sister?" Wenya called out to Jiang Tong, but strangely, her second sister didn't respond.
Yuan Gang and Dong Yalan were also watching Jiang Tong.
Both of them had stopped smiling.
"Second sister, what are you thinking about?" Wenya asked.
Jiang Tong snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "It's nothing."
Dong Yunze is now very confused, "Mom, can you still have children?"
Liu Zhen'er quickly pinched Dong Yunze's palm, Dong Yalan said.
"It's alright, we're all family, let's say what's on our minds."
Dong Yunze was still wondering if Dong Yalan could really have more children.
Jiang Tong said, "My brother is right, can you still have children at your age?"
Dong Yalan said, "I haven't gone through menopause, of course I can have children."
Jiang Tong: "Last time you asked me to go to the hospital with you for a checkup, and you said you weren't pregnant. How come you're pregnant again?"
Dong Yalan then confessed that she had actually been pregnant during the last checkup, but she didn't dare tell Jiang Tong the truth.
Of course, I was also worried that the fetal heartbeat might be unstable, and that all the joy might be for nothing! After returning, I discussed it with Yuan Gang and we decided to wait a little longer!
Before the fetal heartbeat had even stabilized, Yuan Gang consulted an experienced doctor who said that as long as she paid close attention to her health, the baby would be born safely.
Jiang Tong said, "What I mean is, you're over fifty now, are you really sure you won't have any problems having children? Are there really no risks?"
Yuan Gang said, "Tongtong, if there were any risks, I wouldn't let your mother give birth. I've consulted several doctors, and they all said the baby is safe to keep."
Jiang Tong didn't say anything more.
She managed a forced smile.
"Alright then, whatever makes you happy. I have no right to interfere with your decision."
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Jiang Tong's mind was filled with this shocking fact.
After she left the table, everyone sighed with emotion.
Dong Yalan said, "I told her that I would tell Tongtong later."
Li Jingchen suddenly spoke up, "Do you think that if you tell her later, she won't be so surprised?"
Jiang Mingyang, ever the curious child, asked, "Dad, is it because Grandma is very old that you're all so surprised that she's pregnant? Is that right?"
Yuan Gang spoke on Li Jingchen's behalf, "Yangyang is right. Your maternal grandmother is old. Usually, people her age can't have children, so this is a pleasant surprise."
Then he suggested that Dong Yunze take the children to play in the garden first, and that Miss Liu also go and admire the flowers.
"it is good."
Dong Yunze got up in time.
"Kids, come on, Uncle will take you to play."
Li Feifan, however, was oblivious to everything else and only focused on making his meal.
Just as he was about to finish gnawing on a piece of beef rib in his bowl, Jiang Mingyang pulled him away.
"Wait a minute!" Li Feifan hurriedly grabbed the bowl, gnawing on the meat as he was passively dragged away.
Only Yuan Gang, Dong Yalan, and Li Jingchen remained at the table.
Li Jingchen slowly opened his mouth.
"Auntie, I'd like to have a private chat with you for a few minutes."
Yuan Gang sighed, "Tell me what you have to say, don't make things difficult for Tongtong's mother."
Dong Yalan tried to smooth things over, saying, "Why would my son-in-law make things difficult for me? You've drunk so much, why don't you go to the restroom?"
After Yuan Gang left, Li Jingchen said.
“I know Tongtong’s temperament very well; there are some things she won’t say.”
"For example, even though Yuan Gang is only her father, she still wants to fulfill your happiness and tacitly approves of your marriage. Even though she is your half-sister, she can live in your house."
"Now, she has a younger brother from the same parents who is competing with her for the already meager amount of paternal and maternal love."
"Didn't you ever consider her feelings?"
How could Dong Yalan not understand Jiang Tong's feelings?
“Tongtong is my daughter, how could I not think about her? Her father said that in the future…”
Before Dong Yalan could finish speaking, Yuan Gang returned.
Just then, Jiang Tong returned as well.
Dong Yalan turned around and said, "Perfect timing, let your dad tell you, Tongtong, Mom had no other intentions in giving birth to your brother, I didn't want to fight you for the family fortune..."
Yuan Gang: "Tongtong, your mother and I have discussed it. He will be allowed to start his own business and work hard in the future! I won't guarantee his future; the Jiang Group will still belong to you."
Jiang Tong suddenly didn't know what to say.
Only then can one express the complex emotions she feels at this moment.
"Do you think I'm just after that money and afraid that I'll bully my own brother in the future?"
Yuan Gang had mixed feelings, and Dong Yalan pursed her lips as well.
Jiang Tong took a deep breath.
He slowly sat down.
"I think the first half of my life has been quite legendary, as if I've encountered all sorts of ridiculous things."
"My father isn't my biological father, and my sister isn't my biological sister. I've accepted my father and my brother."
"My brother is my half-brother, and so is my sister, and now..."
"Another little brother has arrived."
Hearing about these past events, Dong Yalan felt a pang of sadness and unease.
“Your brother was switched at birth, and Wenya was someone I married because I misjudged her. Only you are my and your father’s biological child. Now we have another brother. Your father and I… we never expected this.”
Because I didn't expect to get pregnant, I hadn't been using any protection. Who knew...
It's unbelievable that someone could have a child at such an advanced age!
“Your dad doesn’t mind that I’m a divorced man and he’s so good to me. I can’t bear to abort this child!”
Yuan Gang sighed inwardly, and grasped Dong Yalan's hand, "Yalan..."
Dong Yalan said, "Tongtong, if you're angry, be angry with me. Don't hold a grudge against your dad. He's genuinely thinking a lot about you."
Yuan Gang sighed, "Tongtong, your mother was overjoyed when she found out she was pregnant, and I was overjoyed too. I drank too much today... To be honest, ever since I found out that Xiaoyu, whom I've raised for decades, isn't my biological child, I really regret not having more children when I was younger!"
"I never expected that God would give me such a great gift in my later years. The only thing I owe you all these years is Jiang Shi..."
"Alright, I don't need you to do this." Jiang Tong took another deep breath, having calmed down.
"I didn't think that way. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my brother brought his girlfriend home again. Let's all be happy."
