“Not entirely. I’ve come here to tell you about my life from childhood to adulthood, something you’ve always wanted to know, haven’t you?” Jiang Shuiyun got to the point.
Jiang's parents sat upright, looking at Jiang Shuiyun intently. They really wanted to know, but they didn't dare to ask Jiang Shuiyun directly. Jiang Shuiyun had never brought it up, so it had been delayed until today. They never expected that Jiang Shuiyun would take the initiative to bring it up now.
“That’s right,” Jiang Shuiyun took a sip of tea, “To put it simply, from the time I was born and left you until I returned here, I was on my way to save the world.”
As Jiang Shuiyun finished speaking, she looked at her parents, who remained serious and showed no sign of doubt or surprise. In fact, she was somewhat surprised. "Do you believe me?"
"believe."
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang nodded in unison, “With our combined intelligence, our child should be a genius. Saving the world is perfectly normal. Didn’t you just bring the whole world into the holographic era in just a few months? That’s no different from saving the world. If you can save it once, you can save it twice.”
Jiang Shuiyun was speechless for a moment; these two were not playing by the rules.
"Also, as I told you before, I was raised by my teacher. She taught me everything. What I didn't tell you is that she is from another world, a world that we saved together. That means we saved a planet in another time and space. Do you understand?"
This time, Jiang's parents finally showed surprise. This was somewhat beyond their common sense and understanding. They looked at Jiang Shuiyun with some doubt. "Is there really another dimension?"
Yes, there are many.
Finally back on track, Jiang Shuiyun nodded firmly, "I can prove it to you."
How can you prove it?
Jiang's mother even wanted to reach out and touch Jiang Shuiyun's forehead. Could this child have gone crazy from a fever?
"Come with me."
Jiang Shuiyun led the two people into the courtyard and looked around. Jiang's parents preferred quiet, and although the courtyard was large, none of the servants were there, so there was no one around.
"I can see it clearly now."
As soon as Jiang Shuiyun finished speaking, she gently turned the silver thread on her wrist, and the huge transparent mecha slowly appeared, causing Jiang's parents in front of her to widen their eyes and take a step back.
"If you still don't believe me, I can take you on a trip around space. As for time travel, you should forget about it. You're not young anymore, and your bodies can't handle it."
Jiang Shuiyun commanded the mecha to crouch down, snapped his fingers, and countless futuristic devices and flowing energy appeared inside the transparent mecha. "Do you believe me now?"
"You're not trying to fool us with holographic technology, are you?" Jiang's father was still somewhat incredulous. Looking at the enormous object in front of him, he thought for a moment and realized that with Jiang Shuiyun's holographic technology, she could indeed achieve this level of sophistication.
"You can try it, touch it."
Jiang Shuiyun brought the mecha closer to her parents. They reached out, and the tangible touch proved that it was not a holographic technology. Moreover, the flowers and plants in the yard swayed with the airflow generated by the mecha's movement, proving that it was real.
I believe it.
Jiang's mother nodded, looking at the enormous thing in front of her, a different kind of light flashing in her eyes. In the past, they had made holographic technology their lifelong goal, but now, it seemed that there was something even more amazing.
Jiang Shuiyun put the silver thread back in place, and the enormous object vanished into thin air. Jiang's parents' gazes also fell on Jiang Shuiyun's wrist. Seeing that this small silver thread could instantly transform into such an enormous object, it was far beyond their theoretical understanding. "It's incredible."
"I'm just trying to prove to you that another dimension really exists. This is a product of another world, and it's also the work of my teacher. She tailored it for me. In that world, I was a marshal, in charge of space combat. We repelled the invading army and protected our planet."
Jiang Shuiyun invited the two back into the house, and the three of them sat down again.
“It sounds like a science fiction movie from the future,” Jiang’s mother was clearly still in shock. “No, I don’t mean I don’t believe you, it’s just really incredible. We believe you, we believed you just now.”
Jiang Shuiyun nodded. "I know. I hope you can understand what I'm about to say. In the future, there will be another research project on the secrets of human genes. My teacher was one of the best researchers in this field. At that time, my teacher's planet was under siege and in imminent danger. So she urgently needed to find the perfect human genes to improve the mecha and repel the enemy. She searched many time periods and finally, she found me when I was just born."
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang nodded halfway through, then realized something was wrong. Mrs. Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly. "You mean to say that your teacher took you away?"
Seeing the unfriendly expressions on their faces, Jiang Shuiyun knew this would happen, so she could only nod and say, "Yes, my teacher took me away and left behind a clone of me. Later, she developed a new generation of mechs, protected the planet, raised me, and nurtured me."
Mr. Jiang approached Mrs. Jiang, his expression somewhat troubled and cautious, "This..."
Before Jiang's father could speak, Jiang's mother shoved him aside. She looked at Jiang Shuiyun seriously and said, "I admit that your teacher is a great person, and I know that you have great respect for her. She has indeed raised you to be outstanding. But no matter what, as a mother who has lost her child, I cannot forgive her."
Jiang Shuiyun's intelligence was inherited from her parents. After a little thought, Jiang's mother roughly understood what Jiang Shuiyun meant from her words and spoke first, answering what Jiang Shuiyun wanted to express.
Jiang Shuiyun nodded. She had anticipated this situation. "I understand. Jinbai and I discussed it. I didn't originally plan to tell you the truth, but Jinbai insisted that I tell you. You have the right to know."
Jiang's mother was somewhat surprised, but at least the anger from above had subsided a little. "Jinbai is right, we do have the right to know. Even if it's to send you to save the world, it shouldn't be a reason for your teacher to take you away without our consent, but..."
In a sudden turn, Jiang Shuiyun looked at her mother, who continued, "We are not from the same time and space, so we cannot use the standards of this world to measure people from other worlds."
"So what?" Jiang Shuiyun looked at her mother expectantly, "What if my teacher appeared in front of you?"
“I still can’t forgive her.” Jiang’s mother frowned as she looked at Jiang Shuiyun. “But we won’t make things difficult for you, at least we won’t let your teacher find out.”
"If my teacher apologizes to you, will you accept it?"
Jiang Shuiyun continued to ask uncertainly.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang exchanged a glance and remained silent for a long time before Mrs. Jiang finally spoke, "Let your father accept it. He's easygoing anyway."
Knowing that Jiang's mother had been investigating Jiang Shuiyun's background for years and deeply resented the person who took their child away, Mr. Jiang quickly nodded in agreement, "I'll do whatever you say, Madam."
Jiang Shuiyun breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Thank you, Dad, Mom."
"Hmm..." Jiang's mother nodded, then suddenly stopped. "Hmm? What did you just call us?"
"Dad, Mom."
Jiang Shuiyun called out again that they were undoubtedly her biological parents. If that was the case, then they would be a real family from now on. They couldn't miss the time they had missed before.
"You heartless bastard! If it weren't for what happened today, would you have never acknowledged us for the rest of your life?"
Although Jiang's mother said this, her eyes involuntarily reddened, and she came over and hugged Jiang Shuiyun, hugging her child whom she had lost and found again.
The family of three hugged each other, and Jiang Shuiyun patted their backs. "No, I never believed you were my biological parents before, because I always thought we were from two different worlds and it was just a coincidence. But my teacher came to our world and told me the truth, so you really are my parents."
"Your teacher really came?"
Jiang's father also wiped away his tears, and glanced uncertainly at Jiang's mother, who was leaning on Jiang Shuiyun's shoulder and wiping her tears. "How about we meet?"
“There’s one more thing,” Jiang Shuiyun took a deep breath, “We just found out too, my teacher… is Jinbai’s long-lost biological mother…”
The room fell silent for a moment; Jiang's parents were caught off guard by this unexpected remark.
What's going on here?
"The events of that year were very complicated, let me explain slowly."
Jiang Shuiyun helped her mother up and looked at her father, explaining the whole story clearly and thoroughly to them, including why Sui Yu and Yi Jinbai were separated.
Perhaps because they had both lost a child, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang remained silent for a long time before finally saying nothing. Mrs. Jiang simply nodded and said, "Let's meet him."
"Thank you, Mom."
Jiang Shuiyun knew how difficult it was for her mother to make this decision, which touched her even more.
So much time had passed since they started talking, and it was already lunchtime. Jiang Shuiyun naturally stayed to have lunch with her parents. At the dinner table, the family finally looked like a family, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious and peaceful.
After dinner, the three of them drank tea to aid digestion. Jiang's mother held Jiang Shuiyun's hand and asked, "Shuiyun, how is Jinbai?"
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Jinbai. She's really affected." Jiang Shuiyun was a little surprised that her mother asked about Yi Jinbai, but she was more touched. She didn't hide anything and told her the truth. Perhaps her parents weren't like she used to think. They just hid their feelings too deeply, and few people could truly understand them.
"That's good. Jinbai is innocent," Jiang's mother and father nodded. "As long as you are all well, and everyone is well in the future, that's all that matters."
"Mom, yes, we will be a family from now on."
Jiang Shuiyun chatted with her parents for a while longer, agreeing on a time to meet again the next day, before leaving as they watched her go.
The mission was successfully completed. Jiang Shuiyun went home to find Yi Jinbai. She didn't know how things were going with Yi Jinbai, but she knew Sui Yu and Yi Jinbai well, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Just as Jiang Shuiyun arrived home, before she had even changed her shoes, Yi Jinbai walked in through the door. Their eyes met, and for a moment they stared at each other in silence, as if the world had stood still.
Perhaps it was a meeting of minds, but Jiang Shuiyun and Yi Jinbai nodded at the same time, exchanged a smile, and said, "It's done!"
Both sides have no problems, and now we're just preparing for tomorrow's meeting, which will be a meeting between both sets of parents, so we must take it very seriously.
This matter was left to Jiang Shuiyun. There was clearly no suitable place outside, so after thinking it over, Jiang Shuiyun finally decided on her own home as the location.

Chapter 91
Yi Jinbai didn't say much when she went to persuade Suiyu. After she explained her purpose, she realized that Suiyu had already planned to do so, so she agreed directly. The rest of the time, Yi Jinbai spent more time with Suiyu, listening to her talk about her mother, Yi Yunmu. She also saw Yi Yunmu's performance footage from back then.
Yi Jinbai inherited almost everything about Yi Yunmu, including his appearance, musical talent, and unique voice, but the differences between the two are obvious at a glance.
Yi Yunmu comes from a musical family. Her upbringing and education from a young age have instilled in her a dazzling, star-like brilliance and an air of pride and nobility that emanates from within. Wherever she is, she is the center of people's admiration. Silent and unassuming, she remains the most radiant.
Their completely different life experiences shaped their distinct personalities. Yi Jinbai was as elegant as water, like a piece of warm and restrained jade. She might not be dazzling or attract attention at first glance, but anyone who saw her would be completely captivated by her.
Finally, Sui Yu gave all of Yi Yunmu's images to Yi Jinbai, as if he were handing over his last remaining thoughts.
Yi Jinbai looked at Sui Yu in front of him, his heart trembling slightly. "If you had another chance, would you choose to start a family with your mother, or stay as you are now?"
Sui Yu paused for a moment, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes. "If I had another chance, I wouldn't choose to get to know your mother. This is my own mission. I shouldn't have dragged her into this. As long as she's safe and sound, that's all that matters."
"Why carry so much?" Yi Jinbai was somewhat surprised by this answer.
"I guess this is... destiny. Heaven gave me this ability, so I should fulfill my mission. I can't just stand by and watch Blue Star be destroyed." Sui Yu had thought about this question many times, but without exception, she still had the same answer.
Yi Jinbai didn't know how she felt. She seemed to have expected this answer, and even had a feeling that it was supposed to be this way. This feeling was strange, but it calmed her down.
The next day arrived quickly. Yi Jinbai and Jiang Shuiyun had already packed up and prepared, and sent someone to pick up their parents.
While waiting, Jiang Shuiyun and Yi Jinbai sat on the sofa, both of them looking rather nervous.
"Everything will be fine."
Yi Jinbai's heart was racing uncontrollably; he didn't know whether he was talking to Jiang Shuiyun or comforting himself.
Yes, it will.
Jiang Shuiyun hugged Yi Jinbai and patted her back, but her slightly furrowed brows did not relax.
"Professor, Miss Yi, something terrible has happened!"
As the two were talking, Lei Yu rushed in from outside, and Jiang Shuiyun and Yi Jinbai immediately stood up. "What happened?"
"The old professor has disappeared!"
"What?!"
Jiang Shuiyun and Yi Jinbai were immediately shocked. The old professor Lei Yu was referring to was Sui Yu. Sui Yu's identity was not convenient to tell others, and her name was not suitable to appear in this world, so Lei Yu and the others called her the old professor.
