Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg
Chapter 1042: The Elders’ Purpose
With Jiang Xue gone, Jiang Lao’er let out a big sigh of relief. Her absence made it easier for them to say certain things.
Noticing their expressions, Lu Jintian’s gaze flickered. Then, seeing that the cups in front of the two elderly were empty, he added some water to them.
"Do the two of you have something to tell me?" Lu Jintian asked with a smile after sitting down again. No wonder Jiang Xue had a bad impression of them before, turns out they didn’t much care for Jiang Xue either.
"Jintian, did you just say you’re Jiang Xue’s brother?"
Lu Jintian smiled and nodded, saying, "Xue’er and I are twin siblings. I’m the elder brother, and she’s the younger sister."
"Really?" Old Madam Jiang’s face lit up with excitement, and suddenly she reached out and grabbed Lu Jintian’s hand, saying, "If that’s the case, then you’d be our grandson."
"Madam Jiang, I understand your feelings. But I’ve heard from Xue’er that your granddaughter is someone else, not her."
Upon hearing this, both Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang became awkward, and paused for quite a while without speaking.
Lu Jintian remained silent too, just quietly watching them. Perhaps feeling uncomfortable with his gaze, Old Sir Jiang finally spoke, saying, "Jintian, we were deceived back then. And because of this, we had some unpleasant interactions with Jiang Xue, and she’s always been cold towards us. If possible, please help us persuade her. We might have been wrong, but we are always her grandparents."
"Alright, I will." Lu Jintian nodded calmly and then said, "You came to see Xue’er, but didn’t say why. She’s upstairs now, you can tell me, and I can pass it on to her."
"No need, no need!" Old Sir Jiang waved his hand and said, "Xue’er doesn’t care about us, reaching out to you is the same. Actually, it’s nothing major, just, just..."
Old Sir Jiang spoke for a long time without saying his intention to get Lu Jintian’s hair.
"What’s the matter?" Seeing Old Sir Jiang’s hesitant appearance, Lu Jintian slightly furrowed his brows. His instincts told him that Old Sir Jiang might have some troubling matter or feel embarrassed to speak out.
Old Madam Jiang, fearing their grandson might also choose to ignore them like Jiang Xue, interrupted the old man to say, "Jintian, it’s like this, we came because we wanted Jiang Xue’s hair. She’s not here now, but as her brother, getting your hair would be the same."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jintian immediately understood their intentions and laughed, saying, "You want to do DNA testing, right?"
"Yes, yes, you know about it too?"
"I’ve heard about it."
"Since you know, it’ll be easier." Old Sir Jiang laughed, then added, "Jintian, don’t overthink it, we just want to be cautious. You don’t know, we’ve been fooled once before, so that’s why we have this thought, hope you can understand." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"I understand, I understand." Though Lu Jintian said he understood, his hands remained motionless. The two elders from the Jiang Family watched eagerly, but Lu Jintian seemed unaffected.
After a while, the two became a bit anxious and urged, "Jintian, what’s wrong? Didn’t you say you would give us the hair?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Jintian shook his head and said, "No need to bother, Jiang Yun indeed is the father of Xue’er and me."
