Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1271: Chapter 1272: Familiar Orchid

After introducing Chiang Xiao, those people were all very enthusiastic.

Chiang Xiao’s paintings displayed at the last newcomer exhibition had already gained significant fame.

Especially after Liu Guoying became famous, Chiang Xiao’s reputation had also risen.

The people in the painting circle were mostly unaware of the rumors circulating within Duan Qingqing’s circle.

They were not from the same circle anyway.

Perhaps the rumors would spread over time, but at least they had not yet.

The girl named Ye Xiaoning was very interested in Chiang Xiao.

”Chiang Xiao, come with us this time? We can paint the same scene together, and I could compare my work with yours, which would definitely improve my painting skills.”

”I came here this time to ask Mr. Xu whether I need to apply if I want to participate in this sketching event?”

Xu Yiqiu was very pleased, ”Chiang Xiao has agreed to join? That’s great. There’s no need for any special application, just registering is fine, but our event costs are half-sponsored by Chen Yin, and the participants cover the other half. Is that a problem for you?”

Chen Yin had also sponsored half of the event costs?

Chiang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, ”No problem, how much do I need to pay?”

”Each person pays two hundred yuan. This fee includes all expenses, meaning you won’t need to spend another penny on this trip,” Ye Xiaoning explained to her, ”Of course, if you want to buy something yourself, that cost isn’t included.”

Chiang Xiao nodded her understanding.

Each person paying two hundred yuan, and with Chen Yin sponsoring half, it seemed that the standard of this sketching event was not low.

Now two hundred yuan naturally wasn’t much for her.

Chiang Xiao registered and paid directly.

”We’ll leave tomorrow morning at eight o’clock, Chiang Xiao. We’ll meet at the entrance of the art academy, make sure you’re on time,” Ye Xiaoning said.

Chiang Xiao nodded.

They continued discussing, but Xu Yiqiu deservedly remained the focus, and even Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but watch her.

After listening for a while, she got up and excused herself.

Xu Yiqiu personally walked her to the door.

”Mr. Xu, go back.”

”Chiang Xiao, see you tomorrow.”

Xu Yiqiu smiled and waved at her.

After returning to the Meng Family’s home, Chiang Xiao called Wang Yi to tell her that she had registered and set her itinerary. Wang Yi firmly stated that she would bring her something delicious the next morning, to see her off.

”It’s to see you off, definitely not for Chen Yin,” she stressed.

”Alright, alright.”

After hanging up, she saw Nian Mutong coming downstairs, holding a pot of orchids.

”Chiang, future sister-in-law,” Nian Mutong greeted her.

Chiang, future sister-in-law?

What the hell?

”Where did you get this pot of orchids?” she asked with a frown.

”This is from Aunt Qing’s room. She said that now I’m staying in the guest room, which is a bit plain, so she gave me the orchids.”

Chiang Xiao asked this because she thought the orchids looked familiar. But then, she thought it was not possible, because her pot of orchids was at her home in City M.

Even though it had been a while since she had gone back to see that orchid.

”Nian Mutong, how long do you plan to stay here?” Chiang Xiao asked directly.

Nian Mutong placed the flowers on a table in the living room and looked at Chiang Xiao with some distress, responding, ”Would you mind if I moved in? But I have nowhere else to go now, and grandfather said I could treat this place like my own home.”
