Chapter 581: Chapter 582: Donât Stay Away Too Long Chapter 581: Chapter 582: Donât Stay Away Too Long Chiang Xiaoâs impression of Zheng Yucheng improved a lot.
âThereâs no need to bring up the past,â Chiang Songhai was genuinely embarrassed.
He never felt that he owed Xue Liujin any favor. At that time, having medicine to treat injuries and lending a helping hand was very normal, wasnât it?
But the bad part was, he did actually find out the personâs address later and even went to visit, all to seek a future for his young nephew.
This matter, in Chiang Songhaiâs view, was somewhat unscrupulous and rather shameful, so when he came back to the provincial capital this time, he didnât dare to mention visiting Chiang Yuequn, let alone mention to Chiang Xiao that he knew the Xue Family in the city.
âMy father-in-law still mentions you from time to time. Uncle Songhai, hereâs what. After we finish eating, letâs have a cup of tea at my father-in-lawâs place. If he learns that youâre here, his spirits might even get better,â Zheng Yucheng said.
âBrother Liujin, whatâs wrong?â Chiang Songhai hurriedly asked.
âI donât know why, Iâve been suffering from insomnia, just canât sleep, and itâs been over half a year without getting better. As soon as I lie down, I feel like Iâm short of breath and stifled.â Zheng Yucheng sighed and said, âThis lack of sleep makes my temper worse, blowing up every three days, and itâs been really tough on my mother-in-law too.â
Insomnia?
Hearing this, Chiang Songhai hesitated. Originally, he didnât want to go and felt that he had no face to see Xue Liujin. But now, learning about his ill health, he felt it would be unkind and too indifferent not to visit.
Seeing his expression, Chiang Xiao knew what he was thinking and said, âWouldnât that disturb Old Xue?â
âNot at all, not at all. Right now, we are all hoping for some happy events or visitors to cheer him up. Xiao Chiang, you must come along later.â
Chiang Xiao agreed.
Meng Xinian slightly frowned.
After a while, taking advantage of the moment they were eating and chatting, he moved closer to her and spoke in a lower voice, âDonât stay too long, just sit for a while and then come back.â
âArenât you going?â Chiang Xiao asked.
âWhy should I go? No, Iâm not.â Seeing that Chiang Xiao still didnât quite understand who Xue Liujin was, he moved his chair closer and continued talking to her in a quieter voice.
âThat Xue Liujin, although he never held any official position, and is already retired now, is quite influential with his connections, and he was an old comrade of Grandpaâs. Back in the day, he was known to be honest and reliable; those people still think fondly of him. His words carry weight.â
Chiang Xiao was taken aback and couldnât help asking, âOh, but why are you telling me all this?â She wasnât going there to curry favor with Xue Liujin. Why tell her all these things? Regardless of what kind of person Xue Liujin is, what does it have to do with her?
Looking at her bright, blinking eyes, Meng Xinian always felt those eyes were too bright and too beautiful. He felt his face grow warm, âAn old comrade of Grandpaâs, canât I introduce you? What if Old Xue suddenly gets in touch with Grandpa and brings you up?â
So what if he brings her up? Havenât you already mentioned me to your grandfather?
For some reason, Chiang Xiao felt her face warm up too and quickly changed the subject.
âBut arenât you familiar with Old Xue, too?â
Why did it seem that he wasnât very enthusiastic with Chairman Zheng just now?
Meng Xinianâs lips curled slightly, âI left when I was fourteen and seldom mentioned my family to anyone. Zheng Yucheng doesnât even know who my grandfather is.â
Chiang Xiao watched his suddenly indifferent demeanor and felt a softness in her heart.
