Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1101: Chapter 1102: Pressing Into Deeper Despair

I never knew who told Chiang Xiao, but she had heard this was a charm developed through many men’s caresses.

Cultivated by men, yet it’s what attracts them most.

”Are you staring at other women until you’re dumbfounded?” Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but say, ”If Wang Yi knew, he’d be heartbroken.”

Chen Yin was momentarily stunned before he burst into light laughter.

”Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? I was wondering if I could find a factory to collaborate with, to make those skirts, those coats, those high heels. What do you think, could there be a business opportunity?”

Huh?

Chiang Xiao was stunned as well.

After a long moment, she burst into laughter.

Right, she was being overly cautious.

Anyway, Chen Yin wasn’t likely the type to fall for another woman at first sight, was he?

”But, sister-in-law, I’ll still listen to you. When you have time, help me with the designs, so I can save some money,” Chen Yin added.

Chiang Xiao felt a headache coming on.

Was this digging her own grave?

The two of them hadn’t been at the exhibition for more than half an hour when Liu Guoying arrived.

As soon as Chiang Xiao saw his expression, her heart settled down.

It seemed clear that Liu Guoying had a very enjoyable conversation with Director Jin, and the matter they discussed last night must have been settled.

Since they couldn’t talk loudly in the exhibition hall, Chiang Xiao only asked softly, ”Teacher, how did it go?”

”Director Jin is very open and sincere,” was all that Liu Guoying said in response, before he walked away with a smile, hands clasped behind his back, leaving Chiang Xiao with his retreating figure.

”Pfft, he’s playing coy with me,” Chiang Xiao rolled her eyes.

Chen Yin started to laugh, ”It looks like the talk went well.”

When Wang Yi arrived later, he confirmed that Liu Guoying and Director Jin had indeed gotten along very well, and furthermore, Liu Guoying had also agreed to join the selection panel.

”Earlier, Xu Yiqiu also went there. Mr. Xu Yiqiu really appreciates your teacher, and he even said he’d like to invite him for coffee when they have the chance in the next few days,” Wang Yi murmured.

Xu Yiqiu also met her teacher?

That had never happened in her previous life.

But now, Chiang Xiao had already gotten used to the people and things around her diverging from her past life’s trajectory.

It should be said, this was actually what she had been trying hard to achieve.

Checking the time, she told her teacher she needed to leave and Liu Guoying immediately asked, ”Did you bring any of your paintings to Capital City? It’s best if you submit two for review.”

Her paintings were eligible for submission now?

There had to be some, even if there weren’t any outside, there were plenty in Space!

”Yes, yes, yes.”

Wang Yi said, ”Submit them this afternoon. Give them to me, and I’ll submit them for you.”

Chiang Xiao eagerly agreed.

She hurried back to the Meng Family’s home.

Chen Baoshen hadn’t arrived yet.

But it seemed that Old Meng must have told them about Chen Baoshen’s visit as Meng Chaojun, Duan Qingqing, Meng Baoyuan, and Old Meng were all sitting together in the living room waiting.

Seeing them like this, Chiang Xiao could sense their tension and unease.

Especially Meng Chaojun.

He appeared calm, but the glances he cast toward the front door betrayed him.

Chiang Xiao felt that he must have suffered tremendously these past few days.

It was as if he, almost sentenced to death, had to keep strung up, maintain his composure, and continue to manage public affairs. What for?

Although she believed one should face severe trials with strength, she didn’t think it was necessary to be so tense. Surely, some venting was necessary, or else it would only lead to greater despair.
