Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1475: Chapter 1477: How to Incidentally

The weekend arrived quickly.

There was only one class in the afternoon, which ended around three o’clock. Local students were all preparing to head home for the weekend.

As soon as Chiang Xiao stepped out of the school gates, she saw Kuang Yunxian leaning against a car.

She was momentarily stunned.

She had been wanting to find Kuang Yunxian these past few days but hadn’t managed to.

Now, when she was no longer looking for him, he suddenly appeared before her.

However, having not seen him for several days, Kuang Yunxian had clearly lost some weight, and there were dark circles under his eyes.

He seemed to be in poor spirits.

”Xiao Chiang, what are you spacing out for? Come here quickly,” Kuang Yunxian, having already seen her, smiled and gestured for her to come over.

Just as Chiang Xiao ran towards him, the remaining five people from Dormitory 301 came out of the school gate and happened to witness the scene of Chiang Xiao running towards Kuang Yunxian.

Lee Meixian exclaimed, ”Look, a car!”

Xie Landi was somewhat puzzled, feeling her focus was quite odd, ”Hmm, that’s Chiang Xiao, she knows that person.”

”That could be... maybe her uncle? Or maybe a different relative?” Qin Xiaojun didn’t really think much about Kuang Yunxian. Judging by his age, he seemed to be from an older generation relative to Chiang Xiao. ”Didn’t Chiang Xiao say she has relatives in Capital City?”

”Then her relatives must be quite wealthy, driving a car and all,” Ye Wanqing said in a soft voice. Nobody saw the envy nearly spilling from her eyes.

”The clothes that Chiang Xiao usually wears aren’t cheap either,” remarked Qin Xiaojun, stating a simple truth without much implication.

While the speaker had no intention, the listener had her thoughts.

Ye Wanqing’s envy deepened further.

She had learned quite a few things from Lee Wenwei - although Lee Wenwei initially said it wasn’t good to gossip about others, he was easy to coax. After Ye Wanqing sweet-talked him a bit more, he spilled everything.

She found out that Chiang Xiao was already engaged, with a fiancé serving in the military.

She also knew that Chiang Xiao owned a quadrangle house near Liuli.

What’s more, she learned that Meng Xinian and Chen Yin were good brothers, just as Chiang Xiao and Wang Yi were.

Since Lee Wenwei also saw Jin Lei that day, what Chiang Xiao said turned out to be the truth.

However, it was precisely this truth that made Ye Wanqing even more envious.

What she didn’t know was that Meng Xinian had bought the quadrangle house as a gift for Chiang Xiao. Even Lee Wenwei was not clear about this; she assumed Chiang Xiao’s family was wealthy or she had affluent relatives. As for Meng Xinian, she didn’t have any particular thoughts; rather, she felt somewhat consoled thinking that a soldier wouldn’t have much money and that Chiang Xiao was engaged to a penniless man.

From Lee Wenwei, she also learned that Chiang Xiao was well-acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Liu Guoying, who were also invited on that day!

However, before coming to the Fine Arts School, Liu Guoying also came from Huaming County No. 3 Middle School, which wasn’t a concealed fact; a simple inquiry would clarify the point. She had thought that this was the extent of Chiang Xiao’s connection with Liu Guoying.

”Brother Kuang, how come you’re here?”

Chiang Xiao asked Kuang Yunxian only after getting into the car.

”Today is Old Tang’s birthday banquet, and I was also invited,” Kuang Yunxian replied as he started the car.

”Ah? So you know Old Tang as well?”

”Not really, I suppose I know Xiao Qing, as I met him through Xinian. But I haven’t been in the Capital these past years, so there hasn’t been much contact,” Kuang Yunxian glanced at her and said with a smile, ”Knowing that they invited you too, I came over to pick you up.”

Suddenly, Chiang Xiao didn’t know what to say. The Fine Arts School and the Tang Family were far apart; how could it be a matter of convenience?
