Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1112: Chapter 1113: Such Thick Skin

”Chiang Xiao, I’m not trying to criticize you, but we can’t be like that as people. Let’s not even mention that the ones who owe a debt of gratitude is not you, but your grandfather. Even if you were the one who had shown kindness to them, do you know what truly outstanding moral character is? To bestow kindness without expecting repayment, that’s what good morals are.”

Teacher Lin looked at her and said, ”I know their family has power and influence, they live in a house you’ve never lived in, and the food they eat is definitely better than what we have in the cafeteria. But Chiang Xiao, one can’t have too much vanity, it will ruin you. The other party felt too embarrassed to tell you in person, so they called the school instead, requesting that the school force you to board, to prevent you from staying at their home.”

Chiang Xiao truly hadn’t expected someone to come up with this method.

She pursed her lips, trying to suppress the rage burning inside her.

However, Teacher Lin mistook her silence for recalcitrance and her face grew stern, her tone heavier.

”Originally, the real reason behind this decision wasn’t going to be told to you, but I don’t want you going down the wrong path, so I decided to tell you the truth. Chiang Xiao, as long as you’re clear about it, that’s enough. Starting today, you must stay in the dormitory every night. I will have the dorm manager check on you every night for attendance. If it’s found that you’re not in the dorm even for one night, I will apply to the school to cancel your place at Elite Middle School and ask you to return to the school ahead of time.”

If that were the case, it could be said that Chiang Xiao was being punished. At Elite Middle School and at Huaming County No. 3 Middle School, her reputation would be tarnished.

People might think she had done something wrong and was expelled by Elite Middle School.

Chiang Xiao kept her lips tightly sealed, saying nothing.

”Chiang Xiao, did you hear me?” Teacher Lin slammed the desk.

”Teacher Lin, is this the school’s decision, or your own decision?”

”My decision represents the school’s decision! What, you’re actually planning to continue staying at their place? Chiang Xiao, for such a bright-looking child, how can you be so oblivious? What’s the point of being so thick-skinned?”

”That’s my home,” Chiang Xiao said, word by word.

Meng Xinian’s home was her home.

Unless, Meng Xinian was no longer part of that family.

”Hah, I really don’t know what to say to you. Your surname is Chiang, that family’s surname is Meng. You’re from Huaming County, they are natives of the Capital City. You say it’s your home, who would believe that?”

Teacher Lin looked at Chiang Xiao, full of contempt.

”Alright, I’ve said my piece. Just remember it, that’s all. You can go now. But remember, the day you don’t stay at the school, I will send you back.”

Chiang Xiao turned and walked out.

Of course, she wasn’t going to explain her connection with the Meng Family to such an irrelevant person, and she wasn’t going to drag Meng Xinian into it.

But the person who made that phone call, she would definitely find them!

At noon, she arrived at the art institute and immersed herself in the paintings, not allowing herself to think about other distractions, she even forgot to eat.

Until Liu Guoying came looking for her.

”I guessed you would be here. Have you eaten?”

”Not yet.”

”Come on, have lunch with me. Your master’s wife brought some food over, we’ll eat in a small classroom at the art institute,” Liu Guoying said, gesturing outside.

Chiang Xiao followed him out, unable to suppress a laugh, ”Teacher, I must say, you’ve really gotten used to this place.”

”What do you mean, ’gotten used to’?” Liu Guoying glared at her, ”Be careful with your words, don’t give me that gangster vibe! Behave like a lady.”
