Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1272: Chapter 1273: It’s Hers

In fact, if Nian Mutong were a likable girl, Chiang Xiao wouldn’t mind at all how long she stayed here.

Yet it just so happened that Chiang Xiao found her to be very beautiful, but not at all appealing, especially after she had called out ”Brother Xinian.”

”I didn’t want you to move in, and now you have already moved in. However, before I go to Capital City for school and move in for good, I don’t mind you living here since we won’t see each other often,”

she said very directly to Nian Mutong.

Nian Mutong asked blankly, ”So what you mean is, after you go to the Capital City for school, I can’t stay here anymore?”

”That’s probably what I mean,” Chiang Xiao said with a slight smile, ”I personally don’t like having too many people I dislike living in my home.”

As she spoke, she turned around and picked up the phone, dialing her family’s number in City M.

Chu Liang answered the phone, and as soon as Chiang Xiao started talking, she asked, ”Brother Chu, how is our orchid growing at home?”

Chu Liang paused, glanced at the flower stand in the living room where the orchid was usually placed, and asked with some caution, ”Sister-in-law, that is, hasn’t Old Meng mentioned it to you?”

”Mentioned what?” She was asking about the orchid; what did it have to do with Old Meng?

”That is, previously, Alliance Officer Meng had a security guard come to City M. Coincidentally, since you asked him to bring some tea snacks back to the Capital, he came to our house.”

The situation that day was such that the security guard arrived at the house just as a heavy rain started, so he stayed at the house waiting for the rain to stop.

The security guard said he needed to make a phone call to explain the situation to Alliance Officer Meng, and just as he was making the call, Chu Liang was moving the orchid, which had been basking in the sun on the windowsill, back to the living room.

It was perhaps just a coincidence that while still holding the phone, the guard smelled the fragrance of the orchid and couldn’t help but exclaim, ”This orchid has a truly unique aroma!”

At the time, Chu Liang didn’t look up, thinking the guard had finished his call, and said, ”Yes, this orchid was grown by Chiang Xiao. You can’t buy it on the market, and its fragrance is indeed soothing to the soul.”

Then the security guard heard Meng Chaojun’s words.

”An orchid grown by Chiang Xiao herself? Take that orchid back with you, and I’ll talk to her about it later.”

Could a security guard refuse a request from Alliance Officer Meng?

Could Chu Liang refuse?

Knowing that Alliance Officer Meng would mention it to Chiang Xiao, Chu Liang didn’t stop him either.

In the minds of ordinary people, Alliance Officer Meng was firstly an officer and secondly Chiang Xiao’s future father-in-law, an elder. If he asked for an orchid, logically Chiang Xiao would have no reason to refuse.

Besides, if he refused now, he was worried it might leave Alliance Officer Meng with a bad impression of Chiang Xiao, so the orchid was taken back to the Capital by the security guard.

But now, hearing Chiang Xiao inquire about the orchid over the phone, Chu Liang’s heart sank, and he immediately felt something was amiss.

Chiang Xiao looked towards the direction of the guest room.

Anger flared up inside her.

Her orchid was never ordinary, and Chu Liang got one thing right: it wasn’t something you could buy on the market.

The orchid had also been grown in the Space’s Black Land, and after being transplanted, she had buried some Black Soil in the pot. Every time she went back to City M, she would sprinkle more Black Soil on it, so the orchid thrived.

The security guard sure had a keen nose to detect that the flower’s fragrance was special.

But did that mean anyone could just take it away?

”Brother Chu, from now on, no one is allowed to take anything from our home without my permission,” Chiang Xiao said.

”I’m sorry, at that time I also was...”

”Never mind, you go ahead with your work.”

Chiang Xiao hung up the phone and immediately strode toward the guest room where Nian Mutong was staying.
