Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Truly Heartless Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Truly Heartless âLittle, did you know I was coming and came out to meet me?â When Meng Xinian approached her, he stretched out his long leg, easily stepped down, and propped up the bicycle.
âHeh,â Chiang Xiao felt she had a somewhat sarcastically smiling demeanor, âCaptain Meng, why have you come? Our Siyang Village is really brightened up by your entire presence.â
Meng Xinian couldnât help but reach out and knock on her head as soon as he heard what she said.
âSpeak properly, cut out the sarcasm!â
Hadnât she just irritated him with that same tone of voice?
Where did this girl get such a fiery temperament?
And she no longer called him Brother Xinian.
âYouâŠâ Chiang Xiao saw Ding Dani and a bunch of kids, along with a few aunts, looking over from a distance, and immediately lowered her voice, âDonât get physical! What are you doing here?â
Meng Xinian had already seen those people, he had attracted attention from many as soon as he entered the village, and some kids had even followed him all the way.
But he didnât pay them any mind.
âZhao Xin came, why canât I?â Meng Xinian looked at her still angry eyes, feeling the itch in his hand again. He actually wanted to pinch her cheeks, but with so many people around, he thought better of it.
âWhatâs going on here?â He had already noticed the bustling scene, with half of the courtyard wall recently heightened.
The people bustling inside heard the noise and came out to see, spotting a tall man in a Supervisor Guard uniform speaking affectionately to Chiang Xiao, and they all froze.
âChiang Xiao, who is this?â Xu Lin, the son of Xu Canyuan, couldnât help but ask.
âBrother Lin Zi, this is Captain Meng, from Captain Mengâs team,â Chiang Xiao said, also introducing him to the others.
Meng Xinianâs noble brows twitched.
Before, there was Yong Cong Brother, now a Brother Lin Zi, and then for himâ
It was Captain Meng.
Suddenly, he felt that her calling him Brother Xinian might not be so pleasant either.
This girlâs âBrotherâ was becoming far too common and cheap.
Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao also came out and were startled when they saw Meng Xinian, feeling suddenly clumsy and unsure.
Hadnât they just quarreled with Chiang Xiao in the morning?
Could it be that he was here to settle accounts with Chiang Xiao?
âCaptain Meng, you, why have you come?â
Meng Xinian felt that standing at the door in a daze wasnât right, so he immediately called out, âGrandpa, Grandma, could you ask a few uncles to lend a hand and bring the stuff inside?â
Everyone then noticed the pile of things on the back rack of his bicycle.
The villagers watched, intrigued partly because of his good looks and partly because of the pile of gifts.
No family in their village had ever had a relative bring so many valuable housewarming gifts.
And with Meng Xinian calling them Grandpa and Grandma, they were utterly flabbergasted.
Wasnât Chiang Laoer supposed to have only one daughter? And by age, Chiang Qingzhu couldnât possibly have such a grown son, could she?
Ding Dani, seeing the tall Meng Xinian and the loaded bike from afar, felt her eyes redden with envy.
âUncle Yang, is this, is this your grandson?â Uncle Yang also couldnât help but ask.
âNo, no, he is, he isâŠâ Chiang Songhai was at a loss, almost embarrassed, not quite knowing how to explain Meng Xinianâs identity right then.
âUncle, I am Chiang XiaoâsâŠâ Meng Xinian hadnât finished speaking when Chiang Xiao interrupted him successfully by poking at his wound.
Hiss.
This girl was really heartless, repeatedly hitting right where it hurt!
âUncle Yang, could you guys lend a hand?â Chiang Xiao gave Uncle Yang and the others a very sweet and obedient smile, as if she hadnât caused any mischief at all.
No matter what Meng Xinian had come for, standing at the door being gawked at wasnât right; better to go inside first and talk later!
