Chapter 795: Chapter 796: Wonât You Call Me Uncle? Chapter 795: Chapter 796: Wonât You Call Me Uncle? Province N, Chiang Xiao was visiting for the first time as well.
Yu Hang and Xi Minghuiâs families lived in the provincial capital of Province N, City J.
It took five hours to get there by train from the county town, which wasnât really that far.
The leaves on the trees outside City J had begun to fall, as it was already autumn.
City J was a bit closer to Capital City than before, and whenever she went to Capital City by train she would pass through City J station. Chiang Xiao had seen the name several times, but she had never thought that one day she would come to City J.
âItâs a few degrees cooler here than in City M, are you cold?â Yu Hang turned his head and asked Chiang Xiao.
Chiang Xiao shook her head.
This time, they had taken three days off, plus Sunday, for a total of four days.
âMy dad is coming to pick us up, letâs go, letâs get out of the station. I know where heâll park his car,â Xi Minghui, stepping onto the land of City J, seemed very excited. âEven though the schools in City M are good, I really do miss those rascals.â
Chiang Xiao gave a slight smile. With Yu Hang and Xi Minghuiâs personalities, they must have quite a few friends.
It was only after getting to know the two of them that she realized not all children from wealthy families were prodigal sons.
Upon exiting the train station, Xi Minghui walked ahead and immediately spotted his dad, rushing over and waving his hand while shouting loudly, âHey! Father dear, Iâm over here! Weâre back!â
Xi Guoyou looked over, not at him, but his gaze fell on Yu Hang and Chiang Xiao walking behind, and he was momentarily stunned.
He grabbed Xi Minghui by the arm, pulling him close, and asked in a low voice, âHas your cousin started dating?â
So young, and he dares to bring her straight home?
Xi Minghui looked back at them and mimicked his fatherâs low tone, âAnyway, I think my cousin really likes her.â
Xi Guoyouâs gaze suddenly became full of appraisal and judgment as he looked at Chiang Xiao.
Chiang Xiao stopped and nodded at him, âMr. Xi, hello, my name is Chiang Xiao.â
As she was still young, she thought the adults might not be used to her offering a handshake, so Chiang Xiao simply nodded in greeting.
However, this gesture had already surprised Xi Guoyou.
Mr. Xi?
None of his sonâs classmates had ever called him Mr. Xi! Shouldnât they be calling him Uncle Xi of some sort?
âHello, Student Chiang Xiao,â Xi Guoyou didnât say much else, âGet in the car first.â
In this era, Xi Guoyouâs car would be considered quite a good one, but to Chiang Xiao it still seemed very out of date and antique. She generally didnât pay much attention to cars.
However, her calm and composed manner as she got into the car caught Xi Guoyou by surprise.
His car really wasnât cheap, and most people would take a few more glances at it, but Chiang Xiao didnât at all.
âIs Chiang Xiao classmates with Minghui?â
âYes.â
âAre you from City M?â
âJust from a remote little mountain village in City M,â said Chiang Xiao.
Xi Guoyou drove himself, Xi Minghui sat in the passenger seat, and Yu Hang sat in the back with Chiang Xiao. As soon as they got in the car, Chiang Xiao wanted to ask about hotels in City J, but Xi Guoyou started making small talk with her instead.
From a small mountain village? Xi Guoyou really didnât believe it.
âDo you have relatives in City J?â
âNo.â
Xi Guoyou glanced at his son and then asked, âIsnât Master Chiang coming with you?â As soon as he asked this question, he suddenly realized something and was taken aback, pressing down on the brakes.
âWait a minute!â He turned back in shock, looking at Chiang Xiao, âChiang? Chiang Xiao? Master Chiang? That painting couldnât have been done by you, could it?â
Xi Minghui couldnât suppress his laughter, âDad, youâre only finding out now?â
