Chapter 1338: Chapter 1339: She Did It on Purpose Chapter 1338: Chapter 1339: She Did It on Purpose It was already ten oâclock, and Chiang Xiao had assumed that the Meng Familyâs house would have already gone dark with everyone asleep.
After all, no matter how big the incident, one couldnât possibly not rest.
However, from a distance, she could see that the lights of the Meng Familyâs small building were still on.
Could it be that Tyrant Meng was waiting for her?
Chiang Xiao continued to walk slowly, when she noticed someone sitting on the curbstone ahead, looking at her approach; suddenly, he stood up, his figure revealed under the streetlight.
âRight on time,â came the deep voice of Meng Xinian.
âBrother Xinian?â Chiang Xiao was taken aback, âWhy are you waiting here for me?â
âWaiting to go in with you,â Meng Xinian walked over, âThey are probably waiting too.â
âTheyâ naturally referred to Old Meng and Meng Chaojun.
Chiang Xiao had not returned, and he himself didnât wish to face those so-called closest family members.
Meng Xinian felt a chill in his heart.
Now it seemed that only where Chiang Xiao was could he feel warmth and gentleness, only with her did it feel like home.
He, a grown man, had developed a psychological dependency on a young girl.
Meng Xinian silently sighed.
He took Chiang Xiaoâs hand and led her towards the Meng Family home, âTonight weâll pack up, and tomorrow weâll head back to City M. The house can be loaned to them to live in, and whenever you want to take it back, weâll take it back.â
âSounds good,â Chiang Xiao agreed without hesitation.
Upon opening the gate, all the lights in the courtyard were on.
Old Meng had moved a rocking chair to sit facing the entrance, seemingly asleep.
Yet, the noise of the iron gate closing startled him awake, as if from a nightmare. He sat up in a frightened manner, looking in their direction, then sighed with relief and exclaimed with joy, âLittle, Xinian, youâre back? Little, quickly, go check on Xinianâs dad; heâs had a headache all afternoon and just now destroyed the study in painâŠâ
His voice trailed off as he noticed the cold smile on Chiang Xiaoâs lips, slowly lowering in volume until he couldnât continue.
âIâm sorry, Grandfather, but my medicine is worth a fortune, as Iâve said before. I truly canât afford the antics and expenses of Alliance Officer Meng.â
Chiang Xiao spoke icily, âThis medicine needs to be taken for a long period without interruption; stopping it means starting over. Whatever was taken before would have been a complete waste. How about you calculate for me how much money and effort of mine youâve wasted?â
âLittle, go upstairs and wash up,â Meng Xinian patted her shoulder.
âAlright. You should come up early too.â
Chiang Xiao ascended the stairs, took a few steps, then turned back to add, âBy the way, I met Du Jinruo today, and she told me something I think I should share with you. She said that before Duan Qingqing married into the Meng Family, she had already lost her chastity to another man. But Duan Qingqing still didnât want to marry just anyone and after picking and choosing, she selected Alliance Officer Meng. Then, the entire Duan Family was involved in setting up the marriage. Itâs very possible that at that time, Alliance Officer Meng was still innocent.â
After finishing, she turned back to the stairs only to see Meng Chaojun, who was just about to come down, standing there.
Meng Chaojunâs face was ashen, his figure swaying, utterly devastated.
So it turned out that not only had he been cuckolded, but for all these years, he had been treasuring a woman, a schemer who had been abandoned by another man?
Thinking back now, he truly felt like the biggest fool in history, the butt of the biggest joke!
Chiang Xiao lowered her gaze and brushed past him.
Could she admit to herself that she had come here on purpose so that he would hear her?
