Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1462: Chapter 1464: The Big Red Envelope for Her

Kuang Kanzhi was slightly taken aback; he had not expected Chiang Xiao to be so forthright and unembellished in her words.

Following that, he felt a slight irritation.

Although what Kuang Qingqing said was not pleasant to hear, it was probably mostly true.

”As Qingqing’s father, I understand her very well. Although Qingqing is indeed spoiled, she never lies or fabricates things at whim.”

Kuang Kanzhi looked at Chiang Xiao and asked, ”Perhaps I’m being presumptuous, but I still hope that you can answer me truthfully. In the past two years, Yun Xian has always stayed in City M for the Spring Festival, and he went to your house, didn’t he? Did he also give you New Year’s money?”

Chiang Xiao’s lips curled slightly, ”Yes.”

”I heard that he even gave New Year’s money to the cat you raised, and quite a sum at that.”

The red packets Kuang Yunkuang gave her were indeed generous.

Even Little Snowball’s red packet was the same as hers; looking at it that way, wasn’t it all meant for her?

Every red packet contained one hundred yuan.

That adds up to two hundred yuan.

It must be said, in this day and age, a New Year’s gift of two hundred yuan is indeed a substantial red packet.

Keep in mind, this was nearly half a month’s salary for Yun Xian.

Chiang Xiao was initially surprised upon seeing the amount of money, but she had also discussed it with Meng Xinian, who advised her to graciously accept it because for Yun Xian, having someone he’s willing to give a big red packet to was a form of warmth for him.

Sometimes, accepting is more comforting than rejecting.

Thus, Chiang Xiao accepted the red packets, and every time he would leave, she would give him two packets of tea she had made herself.

Of course, if one were to crudely calculate the value, the tea she made was worth far more than two hundred yuan.

But for her and Kuang Yunkuang, it was all about the sentiment, and neither of them thought to convert it into monetary value.

However, now being questioned by Kuang Kanzhi like this, Chiang Xiao felt very uncomfortable.

”I did not expect that Brother Kuang, a man in his thirties, would need the consent of his elders to spend his own money,” Chiang Xiao said, her gaze turning cold.

Kuang Kanzhi’s heart jolted slightly.

This side of Chiang Xiao made him feel an imposing aura, and it was startling.

”That’s not what I mean.” He shook his head, saying, ”How Yun Xian wants to spend his money is certainly his own business. But, you do not know his situation; can you really take that money in good conscience?”

Chiang Xiao frowned, ”Mr. Kuang, why don’t you just say what you want to say directly? What exactly do you want to say today?”

Kuang Kanzhi said, ”Yun Xian’s parents passed away many years ago, you know about this, right?”

”Mhm.”

”But what you probably don’t know is that in the Kong family, I am the only one who has taken over the family business and carries the pen, and now Yun Xian as well. However, Yun Xian’s father, my younger brother, had gone into business with my Second younger brother and younger sister, and during those years, they accumulated some wealth. But after Yun Xian’s father passed away, his second uncle and younger aunt felt that the fortune my Second brother made was all due to their efforts, and for all these years, they’ve been disputing over this money.”

Chiang Xiao was startled.

A dispute over inheritance?

Why is Kuang Kanzhi telling her all this?

”The affairs of that time were complicated, and my Second brother passed away abruptly without much explanation. Due to the pressure from my third brother and younger sister, my Second brother’s wife succumbed to anger and distress, and she followed him in death.”
