The Jiang family was brightly lit, and everyone was joyful. On her first night back at the Jiang house, Wei Aihua intended to stay with Su Xiaomo.

She told her husband, "Momo is back for the first night, and she must feel uneasy. I'll go stay with her, chat about these past years."

As she reached Su Xiaomo's door, she knocked, "Momo, can I come in?"

Su Xiaomo replied, "Come in, sister-in-law."

Jiangsu muttered from the side, "You're never this polite when you come into my room."

Wei Aihua opened the door and was surprised, "Eh? Nuannuan, Xiaosu, why are you here too?"

Gu Nuannuan and Jiangsu were in their pajamas, with Gu Nuannuan and Su Xiaomo sitting on the bed and Jiangsu on a chair.

"Sister-in-law, we were worried that Xiaomo might feel uneasy being back, so we came to keep her company," Gu Nuannuan explained.

Wei Aihua saw that the bed was occupied and realized she wasn't needed. "Since you're here, I'll go back. I just came to check on Momo."

After speaking, she pointed at her son, "Your aunt is here with your aunt, now you get out and sleep."

Jiangsu protested, "Mom, your son also needs time to process all this."

Wei Aihua was puzzled. What did this have to do with her son? Why did he need time to process it?

Jiangsu felt that the shock of Su Xiaomo, whom he'd called "sister" for nearly ten years, suddenly becoming his aunt was no less than when Gu Nuannuan married his uncle. The most infuriating part was them calling him "nephew."

Su Xiaomo said, "I thought you were my nephew, but you're my nephew."

Jiangsu: "..."

So, he needed time to calm down too.

Gu Nuannuan persuaded Wei Aihua to leave, mentioning that Jiangsu still had things to tell Su Xiaomo about the Jiang family. Wei Aihua nodded and left.

Returning to the bedroom, Mayor Jiang asked, "Why are you back?"

"Nuannuan and Xiaosu are with her. The three of them are already getting along well. It's better to let them keep each other company," Wei Aihua replied.

That night, Jiangsu recounted everything he remembered after Jiang Momo left.

Gu Nuannuan added, "My husband went through a lot to find you. The last business trip was actually to find you."

Jiangsu added, "Yeah, Uncle even used his marriage to find you."

"???" Gu Nuannuan turned to Jiangsu, her eyes narrowing. "Explain!"

Could her marriage be something her husband exchanged for?

Jiangsu hesitated, unsure if he should reveal more, fearing his uncle's wrath. "Didn't Uncle tell you?"

Gu Nuannuan insisted, "Tell me, what happened with his marriage?"

Su Xiaomo was equally curious, "Why was it for me?"

Pressed by the two women, Jiangsu reluctantly told them the truth. "Grandpa used your information to trick Uncle into getting married. If he didn't, he wouldn't reveal anything. Before meeting Gu Nuannuan, Uncle only cared about you, so he agreed."

"Nuannuan, turns out I was your matchmaker!" Su Xiaomo proudly declared.

Gu Nuannuan responded, "You know, I used to be jealous of you. If my husband hadn't told me 'Momo' was his sister, I would have misunderstood and chopped him up."
