Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1029: Chapter 1030: People I’ve Seen Before

The Capital Art Academy, Chiang Xiao had visited in her previous life.

This place had once been where she longed to be, and when the academy hosted temporary exhibitions, they would occasionally hire temporary workers—she had even interviewed for a position. At that time, the academy wanted to hire several shrewd and sweet receptionists who, if any visitor required, would explain the life stories of the exhibiting painters and the highlights of their works.

But Chiang Xiao hadn’t been chosen then.

The reason was that she looked dispirited, to put it simply, very gloomy, and unsuitable for such a receptionist role.

Back then, as she gazed at the paintings in the exhibition hall, she also dreamed of the day when her own work would hang there.

Yet, the one whose paintings ended up in this gallery was Ye Wanqing. The name at the bottom of the paintings was Ye Wanqing, not Chiang Xiao, not Xiao Chiang.

How foolish had she been back then!

Every time Chiang Xiao witnessed her own past foolishness, she wished she could slap herself eighty times.

Then she felt extremely grateful for the chance to start everything anew in this life.

The academy’s staff members were now regular employees, having job security, and it was a position that carried prestige and made them sound cultured when mentioned.

However, during the tumultuous times of the past, the academy had experienced some terrifying moments.

With nearly a century of history, the art academy had withstood many trials and tribulations, and now it was finally welcoming another glorious moment.

Liu Guoying would certainly find time to come during the days of the exhibition, as it was a highly attractive event for him as well.

The exhibition would officially start tomorrow. Today was the final stretch of the setup, and the venue was closed to prevent the interruption of unrelated individuals.

Chiang Xiao asked a staff member about Wang Yi, who sized her up and then pointed her in a direction.

There was a small landscape in the art academy with a short corridor and a few bamboo plants, which looked quite elegant. Chiang Xiao looked over and already saw Chen Yin’s back, and in front of him stood a woman, but Chen Yin was tall, blocking her from view, leaving Chiang Xiao to see just a small corner of a rose-colored dress.

As she was about to take a closer look, someone came running quickly toward her. Sensing that something was off, she immediately stepped to the side to avoid them. The person whirled past her.

Had she not moved quickly, they would have collided with her.

But the person didn’t so much as turn to glance back at her or offer an apology before running off towards Chen Yin again.

”Wang Yi, Wang Yi!”

Before he even arrived, he was already loudly calling out Wang Yi’s name.

When Chen Yin turned around and saw the man, his expression darkened slightly.

Wang Yi emerged from behind him, looking at the man who had just run over, ”Brother Zhenxiong, what brings you here?”

Today is your birthday, right? I’ve found a great place to celebrate it with Guoliang and the others. I’ve just spoken with Director Hong of the art academy and got you half a day off. Come on, they’re waiting,” Lee Zhenxiong said, reaching out to pull Wang Yi’s hand.

As if Chen Yin didn’t exist from start to finish.

Wang Yi glanced at Chen Yin and instinctively pulled his hand away.

It was at this moment that Chiang Xiao finally got a clear look at Wang Yi.

Mother Chen was right, this Wang Yi was indeed very pretty, possessing that classic beauty: an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, cherry lips, a slender figure, wearing a rose-colored corduroy dress that made her stand tall and graceful.

But Chiang Xiao felt she looked somewhat familiar.

She must have seen this Wang Yi in her previous life! It’s just that she couldn’t remember where she had seen her at the moment.
