Ouyang Zongheng sat on the main seat, followed by Ouyang Burong at the second seat, Ouyang Mengyue sitting beside him, facing Gong Yuze and Ji Anning, as well as Ji Tianci.
"An Ran, Dad knows nothing about your past. Dad really wants to know how you came by in the last few years. Can you talk to us?" Ouyang Burong asked with concern.
Ji Anning's face was slightly startled. She thought for a moment, but before she knew what to say, Ji Tianci said, "It's not convenient for An Ran to say it, let me say it!"
Ji Anning was slightly startled, why did his brother rush to say it? Actually, if she had to say it, she would definitely not have told them about her past experiences. She did not want them to worry again.
However, Ji Tianci had a different idea from her. If Ji Anning wanted to return to the Ouyang Family, then he would definitely let them accept her. If he were to tell them about her true past, it would cause the Ouyang Family's heart to ache and feel guilty, which would be good for her in the future.
"An Ran only returned to the Ji Family three years ago. Before that, she lived an extremely bitter life and was raised by her foster mother." Ji Tianci told the truth.
Ji Anning pursed his lips as he looked at his big brother. She knew what his big brother was thinking.
Sure enough, the moment these words were spoken, Ouyang Zongheng and Ouyang Burong looked over with pained and guilty expressions.
Gong Yuze muttered to himself for a moment, then sighed, "When I first met An Ran, she was not the young miss of the Ji Family yet. I know the grievances and hardships she suffered the best."
Ji Anning turned his head to look at the man beside him. Even he had the same thoughts as his big brother?
"An Ran's mother left her when she was three months old. Her foster mother was just an ordinary woman who had never married in her life and raised her alone." Ji Tianci opened his mouth again.
This caused Ouyang Mengyue's eyes to instantly turn red. She was also a daughter of the Ouyang Family, but she had been held in the palm of her hand since she was young, and had grown up being pampered like a pearl in her palm.
Ouyang Zongheng couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart. Back then, he had forcefully stopped his son from being together with Ji Ya, and he didn't even know that she was already pregnant with the Ouyang Family's child. He still remembered that Ji Ya had come to their house several times, but was rejected by him.
At this moment, he felt as guilty as he had been heartless back then. If he had been shocked and in disbelief at the appearance of his granddaughter earlier, then now that he had heard about her past, his heart was filled with intense regret.
Ouyang Burong's voice became a little hoarse, "What about An Ran's foster mother? I must thank her properly. "
Ji Anning said softly, "She died four years ago."
"Grandpa, Dad, Sister is so pitiful." Ouyang Mengyang was truly moved.
"Before Old Man Ji died, he told me not to send her back to the Ouyang Family. However, An Ran has always been looking for her father, and I couldn't bear to tell her everything. She came with determination." Ji Tianci's gaze was gentle and carried a trace of helplessness.
However, his words were like two knives stabbing into Ouyang Burong and Ouyang Zongheng's bodies. They had never known of the existence of this child, and she had actually ignored the grudges between the two families and wholeheartedly wanted to recognize him as her father. This made them feel a little ashamed.
"An Ran, this is your home. You are a child of our Ouyang Family, and you will be for the rest of your life." Ouyang Burong said firmly.
Ouyang Zongheng looked at Ji Anning, his eyes filled with guilt and regret, and opened his mouth to speak, "Tomorrow, I will have the butler engrave An Ran's name into the ancestral tree."
Ji Anning's eyes were slightly moist as he lightly nodded.
Gong Yuze's eyes flashed with a hint of gratification, and Ouyang Mengyue's eyes were also moist.
Ji Tianci silently picked up his teacup and drank a mouthful of tea. He had already said what he needed to say, if the Ouyang Family did not express their stance, he would really not want Ji Anning to recognize them, but he was still satisfied with the Ouyang Family's attitude.
At least there wasn't the indifference and coldness that he had imagined.
In the following dinner, Ouyang Burong asked about the details of her and the Ji Family's reunion. Hearing that she had found her family with a jade pendant, even though Ji Anning didn't feel anything when he said it out loud, the Ouyang Family, who were already feeling guilty, could no longer feel any more pained.
Gong Yuze gracefully ate his dinner. Sometimes, when Ji Anning was listening attentively, he would peel the prawns on his plate and place them into her bowl, or cut the steak for her. His silent actions were already moving.
To love a person was to wholeheartedly pay attention to everything about the other party.
Ji Tianci rarely spoke, but when Ouyang Burong asked about the Ji Family's business world, Ji Tianci did not resist much and replied to him.
After dinner, it was almost nine o'clock. Ouyang Mengyue held Ji Anning's hand and asked if she wanted to stay at home at night. She had a lot of things to say to her, and Ji Anning agreed.
Gong Yuze did not force it, he could just send Ji Tianci back to the hotel, see you tomorrow. At night, Ji Anning and Ouyang Mengyue slept in her room. Two girls of the same age, they talked about the heavens and the earth, about life, about dreams, and also about love. After Ouyang Mengyue heard about Ji Anning and Gong Yuze's love path, she was so moved that she was confused.
Three years of separation.
Fortunately, fate had brought them together again. She was so envious that they had such a passionate love. In every girl's heart, they all longed for such a beautiful and romantic love story.
However, Ouyang Mengyue helplessly told her about the things that had happened since she was young. Her life path had always been based on her family's thoughts, and no matter what profession she was going to learn, she would just dive straight into it, study it seriously, and hand it over with a good report card.
As for feelings, they were still blank. They hadn't even given out their first kiss.
Of course, she was too embarrassed to tell Ji Anning about this. She had always been listening to her love, and had given birth to fantasies about her future love life.
"Xiao Yue, what requirements do you have for your other half?" Ji Anning rested his hands on his pillow. Under the dim yellow light, her clear eyes blinked, filled with curiosity.
Ouyang Mengyue also turned her body, holding onto her slightly hot face with one hand. Ji Tianci's figure and his face flashed past her mind, and she chose to shake her head, "I haven't thought about it carefully."
She was a little embarrassed and shy, Ji Tianci was definitely Ji Anning's big brother, and she was also her little sister, how could she say that Ji Tianci was actually very suitable for her other half's requirements?
