Chapter 438: Chapter 438: The Future Brother-in-Law Chapter 438: Chapter 438: The Future Brother-in-Law Meng Xinian was only twenty years old, and his position in the alliance team probably wasnât very high yet, but the letters he wrote always had an air of arrogance in them.
Now, the two team members who came to see him didnât look much older, and Chiang Xiao had no idea whether they were his peers or subordinates.
However, as soon as she spoke, their eyes lit up immediately, and they both tried to walk into the room, resulting in the pair being wedged in the door frame like a couple of trapped hams.
Chiang Xiao couldnât help but burst into laughter.
The younger-looking of the two big lads immediately blushed and glared fiercely at the soldier next to him, âCanât you show some love?â
âCanât you show some respect for elders?â
Watching the two of them at loggerheads, Chiang Xiao couldnât help but laugh again.
âAre you here to see Brother Xinian?â she asked again.
âWe heard that Captain Meng had a very pretty girl over, so we came to see you specially!â
âWe thought it was Sister-in-law who had come, but it turned out to be you.â
Uh?
Chiang Xiao was a bit baffled.
Sister-in-law?
Itâs you?
So, should she explain herself?
Did she already have some reputation in the alliance team?
âIâŠâ
âLittle sister, I guess your sister is Captain Mengâs fiancĂ©e, right? Otherwise, no lady has ever come to see Captain Meng, and the moment he gets engaged, you show up!â
âWait, we should introduce ourselves first.â
âOh, right, right. Little sister, let me introduce myself first, my name is Dai Gang, Iâm a member of Captain Mengâs team! I transferred over with Captain Meng from the old camp!â The tall guy who looked around twenty-one or twenty-two smiled with his eyes all bent.
âLittle sister, my name is Gong Xinhe! Iâm only seventeen this year, the same age as Zhao Xin, no, three months younger than him.â The younger soldierâs eyes sparkled, âZhao Xin always says he knows Sister-in-law and acts all high and mighty in front of us every day!â
Pff.
Chiang Xiao was taken aback for a moment.
Meng Xinian himself seemed to be a very reserved person, not very talkative, and she couldnât see the clownish quality in him; how come his subordinates were all like Zhao Erleng?
These two, were they the ones who won a competition and followed him from the old camp?
Appearances really can be deceiving, as can the depths of the sea.
âNice to meet you, my name is Chiang Xiao.â
They had already introduced themselves, so she couldnât just stay silent, right?
After a thought, she added another line, âPlease, just call me by my name.â
She really wasnât young anymore, being called âlittle sisterâ over and over again somehow felt a bit hollow inside, didnât it?
âChiang Xiao?â
âThatâs a nice name!â
That was an insincere compliment if she ever heard one, her name was very common, especially when not written down, it sounded like âlittle ginger,â where was the niceness in that?
âThank you.â
âChiang Xiao, where are you from?â Dai Gang had come specifically to seize the opportunity to investigate the information of Meng Xiâs fiancĂ©e; they were all very curious about the woman who had tamed Tyrant Meng! Just thinking about it seemed like a legend.
The problem was, she not only became Meng Xinianâs fiancĂ©e, but it was also clear that Meng Xinian was thinking of her every day, her letters, the parcels she sent, they practically acted as his weather vane!
âI came from my hometown.â Chiang Xiao said with a hint of cunning. She hadnât forgotten what Meng Xi had told her, that he had mortal enemies within the alliance team; it was best to keep her situation secret for now.
Although if others wanted to investigate, they might very well be able to find out.
But she didnât have the habit of talking too much with strangers.
âChiang Xiao, you call Captain Meng âBrother Xinian,â surely because your sister is his fiancĂ©e, right? Captain Meng is going to be your brother-in-law!â
