Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1543: Chapter 1545: Take the Initiative

But as soon as he said that, Chiang Xiao suddenly felt enlightened.

She thought this method was quite good!

After all, it was just a legal expedient. It wasn’t like she wouldn’t take care of her grandpa and grandma! Besides, it was just something to think about first—it wasn’t necessary to act immediately. They’d still have to see how Grandpa and Grandma felt about Chiang Qingzhu and what their plans were.

”But, where would Xiao Chiang find a pair of parents?” Wang Yi asked dumbfoundedly.

Chiang Xiao immediately burst out laughing, ”Got it! Ready-made!”

Meng Xinian reached out and patted her head, ”Teacher Liu Guoying.”

He had always felt that Chiang Xiao only truly showed her age’s innocence and liveliness in front of Liu Guoying—that this was the only time she was genuinely relaxed and completely free of defenses.

”Brother Xinian, you’re so smart!” Chiang Xiao beamed at him.

Liu Guoying and Cheng Qiulian didn’t have children before, but during turbulent times, their child passed away. Later, Cheng Qiulian’s health deteriorated, and despite constant medication, she could no longer have children.

Now, they almost treat her like their own daughter.

Moreover, Liu Guoying was the person Chiang Xiao understood best. As long as she asked him for something, he would always agree. He would never take advantage of her, and in the future, he might even leave his entire savings to her.

Cheng Qiulian was also an exceptionally straightforward and kind-hearted woman.

In this world, they were the only ones she would willingly move her household registration under, and call them Dry Dad and Dry Mom.

Other than them, there really wasn’t anyone else.

Though Liu Guoying’s age was such that he could actually be her grandfather.

Thinking about this, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.

”Teacher told me that the art academy is planning to move his and his wife’s household registration to the Capital City. If my matter can be resolved before this happens, my registration can follow along to the Capital City,” Chiang Xiao said.

Meng Xinian nodded, ”If this really needs to be done, leave it to me—I can settle it for you in one day. So no rush for now; let’s keep it as a backup option. We’ll head home first and see what your grandpa and grandma think before making any decisions.”

Chiang Xiao nodded her head.

Knowing this trip back was for such an important matter, Wang Yi started feeling a bit regretful about tagging along. She wasn’t sure if she’d end up bothering Chiang Xiao.

But seeing how Chiang Xiao didn’t avoid her while discussing these matters, Wang Yi felt a warm sensation in her heart. She realized Chiang Xiao truly considered her a good friend.

Chiang Xiao had hoped to take some time to think carefully about how to approach her grandparents with the topic. What she didn’t expect was a phone call from the Capital City during their meal that had already revealed everything to Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao.

When the phone rang, Chiang Songhai thought it might be Chiang Xiao.

Since Chiang Xiao hadn’t mentioned that she was coming back, Chiang Songhai assumed she was still at school and found a call from school at this hour somewhat odd.

But when he answered, the moment he heard the voice on the other end—a trembling, tearful, and overly excited female voice—he was stunned.

”Dad! Dad, is it you?”

A loud buzzing sound went off in Chiang Songhai’s mind.

His hand instantly began trembling, as did his voice. ”Who, who are you?!”

”Dad! It’s me, Qingzhu! It’s Zhuzhu, Dad!”

In the past, both Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao used to call her Zhuzhu.

”Qing... Zhuzhu?”

Hearing this, Ge Liutao, who was wiping the furniture nearby, froze. The cloth in her hand dropped to the floor in an instant.

”Uncle Hai, who did you say it was?”

Chiang Songhai’s movements stiffened. As if he were a robot, he turned his head mechanically to look at her. ”Ah Tao, she... she says she’s Zhuzhu...”
