Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 912: Chapter 913: What if I’m into You

However, before this, Chiang Xiao was still very concerned about the torn pages from that book.

Unable to suppress her curiosity, she simply took the book to Fu Mingfeng.

”Huh, this is the first time I’ve heard of such a book, and it even mentions my great-grandfather?” Fu Mingfeng was equally surprised and flipped through the book several times, ”There’s no name of the author or compiler, just Anonymous. It’s impossible to find the person.”

Chiang Xiao felt a bit disappointed, but then heard Fu Mingfeng say, ”However, it mentions the He Family, you could ask He Jin about it. Mingchen Studio had a large collection of books back in the day.”

Chiang Xiao’s eyes lit up.

”Are you going to neglect your proper work?” Liu Guoying scorned from the side. She didn’t study or paint, but instead, she was obsessed with some old book—what was the point?

Chiang Xiao stuck out her tongue at him, making a face, ”Would teacher agree to hold a solo exhibition for me if I ’neglect my proper work’?”

For the past half year, Chiang Xiao had been nagging him about this, but Liu Guoying refused to give in. He didn’t feel famous enough, and the idea of suddenly launching an art exhibition to make a name for himself with just a copy of a master’s work seemed like riding on someone else’s coattails.

Chiang Xiao, just like when she had first started studying under him, would occasionally bluff him, hoping that one day he might just agree.

Nevertheless, Mr. and Mrs. Liu Guoying had now moved into the staff quarters of the number three middle school.

Cheng Qiulian’s health had improved a lot and she at least no longer coughed, and although she was still frail, she was slowly recovering by drinking the teas Chiang Xiao provided.

With her coughing under control and not imposing on others, moving to the quarters was no problem.

They also ate in the school cafeteria now. Although their life wasn’t luxurious, it was at least manageable. Perhaps due to the persecutions suffered in their youth, Mr. and Mrs. Liu Guoying were quite content with their current life.

But Chiang Xiao knew that deep down, Liu Guoying still harbored a passion for painting and a spirited enthusiasm for revitalizing the art scene; only teaching art in the art institute made the true joy in Liu Guoying’s life blossom.

Chiang Xiao wanted him to live that life.

Of course, she wasn’t in a hurry, she needed to persuade her teacher first, he had to be willing himself.

Liu Guoying glared at her and shooed her away with a wave of his hand, ”Go on, leave, don’t be an eyesore here. And remember to submit the homework I assigned you!”

Chiang Xiao grinned cheekily, bowed jokingly, and ran out with the book.

Watching her leave, both Liu Guoying and Fu Mingfeng couldn’t help but laugh.

”This Chiang Xiao, who knows how far she will go in the future,” Fu Mingfeng sighed.

”No matter how far she goes, I hope she always keeps her original intentions.”

Chiang Xiao took the bus to Mingchen Studio and as soon as she entered, she ran into Miss Wu Xiayue, who was relentlessly clinging to He Jin.

Upon seeing her, Xiayue’s pretty face fell, ”Chiang Xiao! You’ve become prettier again! Can’t you stop flaunting your face in front of He Jin?”

”Miss Wu, if I don’t use this face, should I wear a mask when I go out?” Chiang Xiao always felt helpless when she encountered her.

Xiayue had been a regular customer at Youqingwei, but every time she saw Chiang Xiao, she would frown and look displeased.

With a huff, Xiayue stretched out her hand to block her way, ”Anyway, you are not allowed to see He Jin today. He has a fever, he’s in a vulnerable state now, he can’t resist your face. What if he falls for you at this moment, then what am I going to do?”
