Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 580: Chapter 581: Turns Out to Be an Old Acquaintance

It was precisely because Chairman Zheng and his family of three passed away one after another, and the truth was so elusive, that Chiang Xiao remembered it all so clearly.

The reason she knew Chairman Zheng was because he had once sought out her teacher, and she was there at the time, even making him a cup of tea.

Of course, at that time she recognized Chairman Zheng, but Chairman Zheng did not recognize her.

”I never expected Xiao Chiang to be so young, and also to have such spiritual energy.”

In Chiang Xiao’s opinion, Chairman Zheng’s gaze was clear and upright, and he really did not seem like the kind of man who deceived his wife for over a decade with an unsavory lifestyle.

However, when she thought about his end, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but sigh.

But what surprised her even more was that Chairman Zheng actually knew her grandfather!

When Kuang Yun Xian introduced Chiang Songhai, Chairman Zheng paused for a moment, then suddenly called out with inexplicable excitement, ”Uncle Songhai?!”

Everyone present was stunned, Chiang Xiao nearly spat out.

She never would have guessed that her grandfather knew Chairman Zheng.

However, Chiang Songhai himself was also quite bewildered and promptly stood up, looking at Chairman Zheng somewhat nervously, asking, ”You, you are?”

Chairman Zheng said, ”I’m Zheng Yucheng ah, Xue Liujin’s son-in-law, Uncle Songhai, do you remember now?”

As soon as he mentioned Xue Liujin, Chiang Songhai suddenly remembered.

”I remember now, I remember now,” Chiang Songhai said with surprise and joy, and also a bit nervously, rubbing his hands, ”I had no idea it was you, back then, back then...”

”Back when I saw Uncle Songhai, my hairline wasn’t this high, and I still had thick hair. Now you see only a shiny forehead, Uncle Songhai didn’t recognize me at first, did you?” Zheng Yucheng said half-jokingly.

Chiang Songhai just smiled, unsure of how to respond.

”So Chairman Zheng actually knew my grandfather,” Chiang Xiao picked up the conversation.

Zheng Yucheng smiled and said, ”This really is fate, indescribable. I never expected that our specially invited young genius painter would turn out to be Uncle Songhai’s granddaughter. Xiao Chiang, let me tell you, I saw your grandfather three years ago. My father-in-law and your grandfather were old friends, and my wife often listened to her father speak of your grandfather.”

Chiang Xiao looked at Chiang Songhai.

However, Chiang Songhai’s expression was somewhat awkward, as if he didn’t want to bring up the matter with her, let alone mention the people of the Xue Family to her.

Chiang Xiao deduced the situation quickly in her mind.

The newspapers had previously analyzed the cause of Madam Zheng’s death, stating that the Zheng Family was a family of scholars, and Zheng Yucheng himself was talented in both calligraphy and painting. However, Madam Zheng’s father came from humble origins, and the two really did not match or have much in common.

So it was quite normal for Zheng Yucheng to find another talented young girl.

Chiang Xiao thought that among those saved by her grandfather’s medicine back then, Madam Zheng’s father, Xue Liujin, might have been included. Xue Liujin was from G Province, and at that time, when Chiang Songtao wanted his youngest son, Chiang Yuequn, to study in the provincial capital, he had no choice but to ask Chiang Songhai, who owed a favor to Xue Liujin, for help.

It was because of this incident that her grandfather was somewhat reluctant to meet her inquiring gaze, wasn’t it?

It was also because she remembered these connections that Chiang Xiao recalled that she had a younger cousin studying in this provincial capital.

However, it seemed that the Xue Family and Zheng Yucheng were still decent people. Looking at Zheng Yucheng’s attitude towards Chiang Songhai, there was no sign of weariness or estrangement due to Chiang Songhai once asking for a favor, nor was there a sense of clearing a debt and distancing themselves.
