Chapter 1215: Chapter 1216: Itâs Chiang Xiaoâs Affection Chapter 1215: Chapter 1216: Itâs Chiang Xiaoâs Affection Knowing that it was Chiang Songhaiâs eldest nephew, Xue Liujin was still quite enthusiastic and quickly ushered him inside to sit down.
Although he generally knew that Chiang Xiao had a feud with this side of the family, it seemed that he had never heard them mention Chiang Baoguo, so he still maintained a welcoming attitude and began to host Chiang Baoguo.
âOld Xue, I now work in the provincial capital as well. I really should have come to visit you earlier, only I couldnât get settled in properly, so itâs been delayed until now. Please forgive me, Old Xue,â Chiang Baoguo said very respectfully.
As soon as Xue Liujin heard him speak, hmm, he seemed quite well-mannered, and he felt somewhat relieved.
âNo need to be so polite. What organization do you work for?â
So, the Old Chiang Family has a son talented enough to work in the provincial capital?
Maybe this one really is earnest and reliable.
âI work at a school.â
âAt a school? As a teacher? Oh, thatâs great. Should I be addressing you as Teacher Chiang?â Xue Liujinâs attitude became even warmer upon hearing that he was a teacher.
Nowadays, being a teacher is highly respected.
âUh, that, Old Xue, I am the younger one, so you can just call me Baoguo directly.â
Chiang Baoguo had meant to explain that he was just a security guard at the school, a gatekeeper. But sensing that Xue Liujin had warmed significantly towards him, the words at the tip of his tongue took a turn, and he refrained from further explanation.
He handled it ambiguously.
After all, he hadnât personally admitted to being a teacher; it was the old man who misunderstood, wasnât it?
When it came to sweet-talking, Chiang Baoguo did have some smarts. It wasnât long before he and Xue Liujin were chatting merrily.
He felt slightly relieved inside; it seemed Xue Liujin was quite easy to talk to, and there might be a chance with this matter. While they were speaking, he brought up the matter of Chiang Hehe.
âOld Xue, itâs like this: my Second Uncleâoh, right, thereâs also Chiang Xiaoâtheyâve been worried and anxious these past few days over my brotherâs plight. When I called back home and spoke with Chiang Xiao, she mentioned you, saying that we could have asked for your help with this matter, but since she rarely asks anyone for favors, she felt it wouldnât be right to trouble you, so she didnât approach you. I came to find you behind her back.â
As soon as Xue Liujin heard it was a matter troubling both Chiang Songhai and Chiang Xiao, he became anxious, âXiao Chiang, that girl, whatâs our relationship? If thereâs an issue, just tell me about it. Whatâs there to be embarrassed about?â
Chiang Baoguo kept a calm expression, though he was quite surprised inside.
Judging by Xue Liujinâs words, did he have affection for Chiang Xiao, not just because of what Chiang Songhai had done for him in the past?
So, Chiang Xiao herself had favor with Xue Liujin?
Where on earth did that girl get such capabilities!
âIf Chiang Xiao finds out Iâve come to you for help, she will probably be angry with me. After all, this matter also involves my brother.â
âWhat is it?â
âMy brother is just an honest farmer, a man of the fields, and heâs disabled. Yet, he married a very scheming wife, and now she has framed him, claiming he committed a crime, and heâs been detained at the county detention center.â
Hearing this, Xue Liujin was taken aback for a moment.
âWhat crime?â
âHooliganism,â Chiang Baoguo said. âBut my brother really is innocent. Heâs disabled; how could he possibly commit such a bad act? We are truly out of options, so I am shamelessly asking Old Xue if there is any way you can help us.â
