Chapter 288: Recognition with the Gu Family (1)
The middle-aged couple turned to look at her after hearing the voice. After a few seconds of stunned silence, a loving smile immediately appeared on their faces.
They both said loudly in unison: "So you are Momo! Uncle and aunt just found out you were still alive a while ago. You are as beautiful as my eldest sister."
After saying that, Mrs. Gu walked forward enthusiastically and took Jiang Yimo's hand.
Seeing this, Jiang Yimo raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a polite and gentle smile, and nodded slightly in response.
Then he introduced himself in a humble and respectful tone: "Hello, everyone. I am Jiang Yimo. My mother's name is Gu Zhiyu."
Her voice is clear and sweet, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, which makes people feel good about her.
"Girl! Uncle finally found you!" The man looked at Jiang Yimo lovingly, and said with a choked voice: "I heard that Jiang Qinian's family of bastards tortured and abused you since you were a child. It's all because of uncle's carelessness back then!"
Gu Yuanshan looked annoyed when he said this, but he continued.
"When I learned that your mother had passed away after giving birth to you, my uncle immediately went to Haicheng to bring you back."
"Who would have thought that Jiang Qinian and the woman he had just married would actually lie to my uncle and say that you died shortly after you were born."
"My uncle was so foolish that he easily believed their lies! You have suffered so much over the years..."
Although the Gu family was exiled to a desolate and barren remote area, it was not difficult for them to provide the whole family with food and clothing thanks to their own abilities and skills.
If he had been able to take Jiang Yimo away smoothly at the beginning, then Jiang Qinian's family of vicious people would not have been able to bully and abuse her later.
After all, living with her relatives, Jiang Yimo can not only feel the warmth and care of her family, but also have enough food and warm clothes.
However, despite her uncle's regret and self-blame, Jiang Yimo herself seemed quite calm and composed.
After all, she is not the real Jiang Yimo, but a soul that traveled through time from modern society.
Therefore, all the hardships and sufferings that she had endured before were actually experienced by the original Jiang Yimo, and had little to do with her now.
However, she comforted him softly: "Uncle, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Am I still living well now?"
"But you have been..." Gu Yuanshan hesitated, and didn't know how to start. He looked at his niece, who was familiar yet strange, and felt guilty and helpless.
At this moment, General Gu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and said, "Well, let the past go with the wind and don't think about it anymore."
"From now on, we must treat Nini well and give her more love and care, which can be regarded as a little compensation for the harm she has suffered."
General Gu said this because he knew that Jiang Yimo was no longer the original owner, but a soul traveler like him.
"Yes, yes, uncle won't say anymore, I won't say anymore." Gu Yuanshan waved his hands hurriedly, as if he didn't want to continue talking about this topic, for fear of causing Jiang Yimo to feel sad.
He quickly changed the subject, dragged the little boy who was about ten years old standing behind him to Jiang Yimo, and said with a smile on his face: "Gu Yanxu, this is your cousin, why don't you say hello to her!"
At this moment, the little boy raised his head and stared earnestly at his beautiful cousin who was like a fairy. He felt shy and immediately turned around and hid behind Gu Yuanshan and his wife, as if he had seen something terrible.
This sudden action made Gu Yuanshan and his wife feel very embarrassed. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Momo, don't be surprised. This child is just too shy. After you have spent more time with him and become familiar with him, he will definitely not be so shy anymore." Gu Yuanshan explained quickly, hoping to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Jiang Yimo smiled slightly, indicating that she didn't care too much. After all, children are always timid and cowardly at times.
However, at this moment, Gu Yuanshan and his wife seemed unable to control their temper, and they kept looking towards the living room door from time to time.
Finally, the couple could no longer suppress their anxiety and asked impatiently, "Momo, why hasn't Xiaokai come yet? The evil king mentioned in the letter that you saved Xiaokai. What's going on? Can you tell your uncle and aunt first?"
Their eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.
Hearing this, Jiang Yimo took a deep breath, sorted out her thoughts, and then began to tell Gu Yuanshan and his wife about the thrilling experience.
Her voice was soft but firm as she told the whole story in a way that made people feel as if they were there.
However, Jiang Yimo did not reveal all the details. She knew that some things were not suitable for her uncle and aunt to know too much, so as not to cause unnecessary worry or trouble.
Therefore, in the process of narrating, she cleverly selected some key information, which allowed Gu Yuanshan and his wife to understand the general situation without going too deep into it.
Doing so not only protects himself and Gu Yankai, but also avoids causing too much trouble to his family.
However, even though Jiang Yimo did not reveal all of Xiaokai's most horrific experiences, it already made Gu Yuanshan and his wife feel as if their hearts were being pinched and the pain was unbearable.
They never dreamed that their eldest son would fall into the hands of the Hundred Ghosts after his disappearance and be trained by them to become a cold-blooded killer! Fortunately, God blessed him and he finally escaped from their clutches.
He happened to be saved by his niece who had excellent medical skills.
Upon hearing this, Madam Gu could no longer hold back her tears. She burst into tears, her lips trembling as she choked with sobs and said, "My poor child... It's all your fault. I failed to protect you, causing you to suffer so much."
Her voice was filled with endless self-blame and sorrow, as if she wanted to pour out all the pain and regret that had accumulated over the past decade.
At this time, the atmosphere in the living room also became depressing.
However, at this moment, a deep and hoarse voice suddenly came from the door of the living room: "Xiao Kai, your parents are in the room, why are you still standing here stupidly?"
This sudden shout was like a thunderbolt across the sky, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the living room.
Everyone turned their eyes towards the door, and saw a tall figure in a brocade robe pulling a young man into the living room.
