Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 548: Chapter 549: So Cold-blooded and Ruthless

”It’s delicious.” Zou Xiaoling had originally planned not to eat any, but she couldn’t resist the sweet aroma of the chestnut cake and ended up eating a piece anyway.

Looking at Chiang Xiao’s life, it seemed quite good indeed. She had heard that Chiang Xiao’s family used to be extremely poor, so poor they almost had no rice to cook.

Could it all really be because Chiang Xiao was crafty?

”Teacher Zou, what did you want to see me about?” Chiang Xiao gave Ge Xiaotong a look, and with a good sense of the situation, Ge Xiaotong went back to her room, leaving the hall for both of them.

Zou Xiaoling bit her lower lip, looking at Chiang Xiao, ”Chiang Xiao, I want to ask for your help!”

”Help you? Teacher Zou, what do you need my help with? I think, I probably can’t be of any help to you, I’m still a student.”

”You can help!” Zou Xiaoling insisted, ”Because it’s an affair of your family after all!”

Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao immediately frowned. What did she mean by an affair of her family? Her tone turned slightly heavy, ”You’re not talking about Chiang Baohe, are you?”

”Exactly him!” Zou Xiaoling, thinking of what Yu Chunyu had said to her, became even more adamant, ”I really don’t understand why he keeps focusing on me! Chiang Xiao, he’s your Second Uncle, right? Help me think of a way to get him to stop focusing on me! Also, I heard that his mother is now scared of you, is that true? Then she definitely won’t dare ignore what you say! Go and talk to her for me, ask her to stop looking for me constantly, I really won’t marry Chiang Baohe!”

Chiang Xiao hadn’t expected that Chiang Baohe was still not willing to give up on Zou Xiaoling, what kind of obsession was this!

”Teacher Zou, although Chiang Baohe is my Second Uncle, since you’ve managed to investigate our family’s affairs so thoroughly, you should know that our two families could be said to have already broken ties. Do you think they would listen to me?”

”But Ho Laidi is really scared of you now!” Zou Xiaoling blurted out, ”The other day, you hit her in the street, I saw it too!”

Chiang Xiao responded with a half-smile, somewhat in disbelief, ”When did I hit Ho Laidi? How come I don’t know about this? All I remember is that she tried to grab me, and I simply blocked her hand.”

What did she mean by simply blocking her hand?

Zou Xiaoling felt somewhat indignant inside. Did she think she was blind? She had clearly seen that Ho Laidi couldn’t lay a finger on her!

It seemed that Chun Yu was right, Chiang Xiao really was deviously cunning!

She bit her lower lip again, ”No matter what, just try and talk to Ho Laidi. She keeps coming to look for me at the school dormitory, and it’s really troubling me. Moreover, she keeps telling everyone she’s my mother-in-law, causing many people to misunderstand! If this keeps up, I’ll be driven crazy by her!”

”What has that got to do with me?” Chiang Xiao felt that she was quite cold and impatient right now, and she spoke very directly, ”Teacher Zou, what does any of this have to do with me? This is an issue between you and the Old Chiang Family.”

”Chiang Xiao, how can you be so heartless?” Zou Xiaoling bolted upright, staring at Chiang Xiao, seemingly unable to believe she could say such things, ”How can it be none of your business? You’re a Chiang too! You’re part of their family! Even if that weren’t the case, since I’ve come all the way to ask for your help, can’t you think of a solution? Can you really just watch me suffer like this? Can you bear that? Where is your compassion, your kindness? Didn’t your elementary school teachers ever teach you those values?”
