Chapter 1099: Chapter 1100: What Solutions Are There Chapter 1099: Chapter 1100: What Solutions Are There Chiang Xiaoâs lips curved into a smirk.
âLet me tell you something,â her voice was cool, âBrother Xinian has never depended on anyone from the Meng Family since he was young, and he certainly wonât need to in the future. So, do you think the people of the Meng Family can influence him? If you have a good relationship with those relatives of the Meng Family, you might as well tell them that if they kick Brother Xinian while heâs down now, they shouldnât resent him for ignoring them later.â
After speaking, she walked past Duan Qingqing, bumping her shoulder against Duan Qingqingâs.
Duan Qingqing couldnât stay on her feet and fell on her butt.
âChiang Xiao!â she screamed in anger.
Chiang Xiao had already ascended the stairs, but hearing the scream, she turned back to smile at her, saying, âAlso, instead of advising others to have children, it would be better for you to have one first, otherwiseâŠâ
Whatever the âotherwiseâ implied, she did not elaborate.
In his room, Old Meng had actually heard some of the commotion outside, but he chose not to go out.
He believed Chiang Xiao would definitely not come out worse in a confrontation with Duan Qingqing. But what had Duan Qingqing said to Chiang Xiao this time?
She must be determined to tear this family apart to be satisfied.
Old Meng thought about what Meng Baoyuan had said and let out a heavy sigh.
Xinian and Chiang Xiaoâs future situation was still tough, what could be done about it?
The next morning, Chiang Xiao left a potion for Meng Chaojun and was about to leave when Old Meng, who was practicing his boxing in the courtyard, quickly called out to her.
âLittle, where are you off to? Are you going to school?â
âNo, I took half a day off today; my teacher has arrived, so I need to accompany him to the Art Academy. We have an appointment with the director.â
âIs it the teacher who teaches you painting?â
âYes.â
âThen can you return by ten-thirty? Youâve forgotten that Doctor Chen is coming to our house today.â
Old Meng always felt somewhat more at ease knowing that Chiang Xiao would be home when Doctor Chen came to treat Meng Chaojun.
Chiang Xiao nodded and said, âI remember, I havenât forgotten. Iâll be back on time.â
Only then did Old Meng breathe a sigh of relief.
Chiang Xiao stepped out of the house, exhaling softly.
She felt like she was beginning to be overwhelmed with busyness.
It would have been great if Tyrant Meng were here at this time; some responsibilities were his to bear after all. But since he wasnât, she would shoulder them on his behalfâwho could blame her for being fond of him?
As for the delicious food handcrafted by her teacherâs wife, she hadnât brought any of it to the Meng Familyâs home.
She wouldnât let Meng Chaojun and Duan Qingqing eat them; they simply werenât worthy of such things, which her teacherâs wife had made until her fingers blistered.
She would eat them herself.
Liu Guoying was surprised to learn that Director Jin of the Capital Art Academy wanted to meet him and took a long while to recover his composure.
âHow does he have my paintings? Wait, you brought my paintings with you to the Capital?â Liu Guoying asked in astonishment.
Chiang Xiao sweated, shamelessly and sycophantically replied, âOf course! I have to carry the masterpieces of my teacher with me at all times! I planned to visit the painting exhibition during the day and look at the teacherâs masterpieces at night, to see where the gap lies between them and the teacherâs work!â
Liu Guoying couldnât stand it anymore and tapped her on the head with a flick of his finger.
âBe serious!â
âYes, sir!â Chiang Xiao immediately snapped to attention, saluting solemnly, âComrade Liu Guoying, if you delay any further, Director Jin will think youâre someone who doesnât keep their word!â
Cheng Qiulian watched the two of them, shaking her head with a chuckling smile.
