Looking her up and down, after a long moment, her eyes suddenly became a little moist: "Child... why haven’t you kept in touch with me all these years!"

"Aunt Qiu, I..." Jian Anning felt a surge of emotion in her heart, especially after so many years, still being able to feel her care. A part of her heart couldn’t help but start to soften.

The onlookers outside were all a bit stunned. Among them, Qin Yishu was the first to react: "Yixian, is this your... goddaughter?" He said, glancing at Jian Anning: "Are you Xinyu’s daughter?"

At his mention, others were also taken aback. Take Yu Zexiao for instance, he had always heard that Qiu Yixian had a goddaughter living abroad, but he never connected her to his wife. However, upon suddenly hearing that Jian Anning was that person, he was still somewhat...

"Uncle Qin." Jian Anning glanced at Qin Yishu and politely lowered her head to greet him. Although her father hadn’t mentioned it, she later sensed that Aunt Qiu’s husband wasn’t pleased with their contact. In front of the child, Ma Xinyu never told Jian Anning Qin Yishu’s full name. Over the years, all she knew was that his surname was Qin. She just didn’t expect him to be Qin Xian’s father.

Of course, Jian Anning’s impression of Qin Yishu came from occasionally seeing this stern-faced Uncle Qin during her video chats with Qiu Yixian back then.

Despite Qin Yishu’s discontent back then, upon later hearing about Ma Xinyu’s family’s misfortune, leaving only this orphan, his discontent turned into sighs. Moreover, Ma Xinyu was originally his brother, as close as siblings, starting a business together. Even when they became romantic rivals later, they never fell out.

Later, when he heard about Ma Xinyu’s misfortune, he felt some regret. But ever since that day, they lost contact with Jian Anning. Over the years, this had become a constant worry for his wife. Who would have thought she would be right here!

Despite his previous discomfort, the dead deserve respect. Qin Yishu now truly regrets being so petty at the time, always fussing over the thing between his wife and Ma Xinyu, leading to years of lost opportunities to make amends.

Upon seeing Jian Anning now, years of guilt and concern surged forth, even making Qin Yishu want to treat her well, just like his own daughter.

"Lanxiao, this is the daughter I’ve told you about." After her initial excitement, Qiu Yixian immediately took Jian Anning’s hand and led her to Shen Lanxiao. "We haven’t been in touch for years, who would have thought she would appear here!"

The Yu Family was now in a good spot, meeting Jian Anning for the first time, and each person’s expression was particularly interesting. Especially Shen Lanxiao, who back then, wanted Qiu Yixian to introduce someone to Qin Yishu, fully intending to introduce this daughter of hers. Yet now, through a twist of fate, the two children had long been together.

"Anning, are you really your Aunt Qiu’s goddaughter?" Shen Lanxiao was caught off guard by these connections.

Qiu Yixian turned to her: "Yiyi, have you changed your name?"

Thinking back, it seemed so. Her son said he was attending an engagement party, and the bride wasn’t named "Ma Yiyi". Otherwise, why wouldn’t she have realized it before?
