Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1270: Chapter 1271: A Lifetime’s Tribulation

No matter what, the figure of Wang Yi, who, when Xu Yiqiu was being stoned by the whole world and chased around with scoldings, stood up alone to hang her paintings and buy them, was deeply etched in her mind.

And the look of deep sorrow and heavy concern in Wang Yi’s eyes at that time also lingered persistently in her thoughts.

Chiang Xiao felt that if she really considered Wang Yi a good friend, then it was a favor she must help with.

Wang Yi’s feelings for Chen Yin were not of the kind a young girl toys with, suffers for a while, and then casually moves on to find another romance.

Emotions in this era were far more solid and deep than those in the times to come.

Chen Yin was the lifelong calamity for Wang Yi.

Chiang Xiao still hoped she could lend her a helping hand.

No matter the outcome, having helped and tried was always better than just watching idly.

Wang Yi was still somewhat uneasy, ”Actually, really, I’m fine. If there’s anything, I can just wait for Chen Yin to come back and see.”

”I really want to go myself,” Chiang Xiao patted her hand, then began making tea, and while doing so, said, ”Mr. Xu mentioned it yesterday, and I was somewhat tempted. It’s summer vacation now, isn’t it? I have time and interest, so why not go? The matter you mentioned, I can just take care of along the way.”

Wang Yi bit her lower lip and looked at Chiang Xiao with gratitude.

She knew that no matter what, Chiang Xiao was going for her sake. Otherwise, she would have replied to Xu Yiqiu yesterday instead of waiting until now to decide to go after she brought it up.

”Thank you, Xiao Chiang.”

”Mhm, you can thank me, but treat me to a meal later.”

She didn’t even want to go back to the Meng Family for lunch.

As for that room, she didn’t believe Duan Qingqing would dare to touch it.

After having lunch with Wang Yi, Chiang Xiao went to find Xu Yiqiu at the address Wang Yi had given her.

Xu Yiqiu was not staying in a hotel but had rented a small courtyard in an alleyway.

She lived alone.

However, when Chiang Xiao found the courtyard, there were several voices inside as if they were discussing something.

The courtyard door was open, and Chiang Xiao stood by the entrance, knocking at the door.

A girl with braided pigtails looked over and exclaimed, ”Is that Xiao Chiang? I remember you.”

Chiang Xiao also remembered her.

Back when she attended Xu Yiqiu’s lecture, this girl had sat beside her.

”It’s me. Is Mr. Xu here?”

At that moment, Xu Yiqiu, carrying a European-style fruit plate, walked out from the house in a floor-length white dress, surprisingly barefoot. As she walked, her toes, painted with bright red nail polish, peeked out, an unintentional seduction.

Xu Yiqiu had such an allure.

There were also three gentlemen present, each looking at her with eyes full of admiration.

Chiang Xiao sighed inwardly.

Xu Yiqiu looked towards her, ”Xiao Chiang? Come in, come in. I’m so happy you could come.”

With a reputation and status in the art world far exceeding Chiang Xiao’s, Xu Yiqiu’s warmth towards a junior, without any hint of pretentiousness, was truly commendable.

At least, everyone present felt that Xu Yiqiu was incredibly amiable.

”Mr. Xu, I’m sorry for the intrusion.”

”Why would that be?” Xu Yiqiu waved her hand at her and smiled, ”Come in, it’s perfect timing. Let me introduce you, these are some of the teachers and students who will be joining the field sketching trip.”

Xu Yiqiu introduced them one by one, and the girl with braided pigtails was Ye Xiaoning.
