Chapter 858: Chapter 859: Going to Battle Despite Injuries Chapter 858: Chapter 859: Going to Battle Despite Injuries Zhao Xin hadnât finished his words when a glance from Meng Xinian choked them back. He pouted, looking quite wronged, and nodded to Chiang Xiao, âYeah, sister-in-law, I have to go back now.â
Could he not go back?
He saw the team leaderâs eyes were as sharp as knives.
Chiang Xiao was helping Meng Xinian sit comfortably, straightening his clothes, and didnât notice Zhao Xinâs subtle grievance. âThen come over for a meal next time when youâre free, and feel free to drop by now that you know the way.â
âEh⊠okay, thanks, sister-in-law.â As if he would dare to come!
Meng Xinian glanced at the departing car and snorted silently.
He hadnât forgotten the stupid thing Zhao Second had done before.
It had almost caused Chiang Xiao to stop writing to him. He was still angry about it. Thinking about coming over for a meal? Not a chance.
He withdrew his gaze only to see Chiang Xiao pushing him into the yard, not heading for the front door to enter the house, but pausing for a moment.
âWhatâs wrong? Canât push it? Iâll get down.â
To get into the house here, there were stairs, but right after his injury, the ever-resourceful Chu Liang had found a large plank leftover from house renovations and placed it along one side of the staircase, making it easier for the wheelchair to go up and down.
Chiang Xiao held his shoulder, calling into the house.
âGrandma, weâll come in a bit!â
After speaking, she pushed Meng Xinian toward the back of the house.
Meng Xinian raised an eyebrow.
Going around to the back, there was a back door leading to an artificial lake, with no one around.
Chiang Xiao squatted in front of him and asked seriously, âDo you want to join the Elite Supervisor Guard competition?â
Meng Xinian looked into her clear, distinct black and white eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
âYes,â he admitted candidly.
âWhat about your leg injury?â Chiang Xiao asked further.
Meng Xinian stared at her, and after a long moment, his voice low, said, âLittle, I know, and you should know too, that my injury has healed much faster than the doctors predicted.â
And there wasnât the expected severe pain.
At least he hadnât felt the pain that an injury of this severity should cause.
He meant, after seeing her.
Before that, he had been tormented by that intense pain.
Chiang Xiao immediately felt a bit uncomfortable, but this time, when she wanted to retreat, Meng Xinian wouldnât let her.
He gently pinched her cheek, his voice low, âSo, give me five more days, and I can resume training. Little, do you believe that even if my injury isnât fully healed, I wonât lose to them?â
âYou mean to compete while injured?â Chiang Xiaoâs eyes widened.
Meng Xinian chuckled softly, pulling her a bit closer, and tousling her hair, âThe last Elite Supervisor Guard reached the top by stepping on many shoulders, and whatâs more, they used despicable tactics to orchestrate an accident that injured the biggest competitor, forcing him to withdraw from that competition. This time, that person will be participating again, and Iâm sure their target is to become the Elite Supervisor Guard King. If they win this time, they probably wonât participate in the next one.â
Chiang Xiao understood what he meant.
So, Meng Xinian wanted to join this Elite Supervisor Guard competition not only because heâd always wanted to participate, but also because he intended to take down that person?
This guyâŠ
In other words, no matter whether his injury was healed or not, he was determined to sign up for the competition.
And this time, itâs likely that the Gao family wouldnât try to stop him or scheme to get his name removed from the list because they believed, with his injury, Meng Xinian couldnât win!
