Chapter 1488: Chapter 1490: Do You Want to Get Physical? Chapter 1488: Chapter 1490: Do You Want to Get Physical? âBrother Yun Xian, Sister Chiang Xiao, please go inside first. It seems someone is causing a disturbance with Grandpa Meng.â
Chiang Xiao was startled.
What does it mean to cause a disturbance with Old Meng?
At a birthday banquet, how could anyone get into a dispute with Old Meng?
They hurried inside and happened to see Xiao Guangâs Dad reaching out to grab Old Meng, causing Old Meng to stagger.
Seeing Old Meng trembling slightly, Chiang Xiaoâs gaze suddenly sharpened, and she strode forward, grabbing the manâs arm.
The man felt a sudden numbness in his arm, then lost his strength and was forced to let go of Old Meng.
Old Meng, unable to stand firmly, was strongly supported by a hand.
He inwardly sighed in relief.
At their age, if they were to fall, it could either be a minor or a major incident.
When he looked up, he realized that it was Chiang Xiao who had supported him.
After not seeing her for a while, Chiang Xiao had grown taller and her features had matured, making her seem somewhat unfamiliar.
But it was Chiang Xiao.
Chiang Xiao had come!
And she had supported him!
Grandpa Mengâs face trembled from the shock of Xiao Guangâs Dadâs pull. He truly had not expected someone to attempt to get physical with him here!
Although they claimed they were taking him to the hospital, that still counted as physical aggression, didnât it?
The thought alone made him want to burst into tears.
No one spoke up for him, no one pulled those people away. Old Tang tried to intervene but was blocked by several women and couldnât get through. At their age, could they still fight like the young?
Now that Chiang Xiao had arrived, Grandpa Meng suddenly felt at ease.
He felt instantly settled.
His heart settled back into place.
Because he knew that, regardless of what happened to him or the Meng Family, Chiang Xiao would never let outsiders bully him.
Yes, he had always relied on knowing this, and slowly eroded Chiang Xiaoâs respect and care for him, hadnât he?
âLittleâŠâ
His lips trembling, he called out to Chiang Xiao.
Chiang Xiao turned back and glanced at him. âAre you alright?â
Grandpa Meng hastily shook his head, but couldnât help feeling a bit bitter inside.
She hadnât called him âGrandpa.â
She hadnât uttered that âGrandpa.â
But at least she cared to ask if he was alright, didnât she?
Right then, Grandpa Mengâs heart was filled with complicated emotions and he wasnât sure what to say.
âWho are you?â Xiao Guangâs Dad glared at Chiang Xiao. âMy arm is numb, did you do this?â
His arm was still somewhat sore and weak, which made him anxious.
âMy name is Chiang Xiao,â Chiang Xiao said with a cold face, directly stating her name. âWere you just trying to get rough with an elder?â
âWhen did I get rough? Thereâs no such thing. My son was hit on the head by his walking stick and got a big lump. We were just going to take him to the hospital to have a look.â
âExactly, he was hurt by his cane. Isnât he supposed to come with us to the hospital too?â
Chiang Xiao turned to look at the child who was being hugged by a young woman and crying.
An eight or nine-year-old boy, crying with long snot dangling from his nose, sobbing and sniffling in turns.
Chiang Xiao helped Old Meng to sit down first, then looked up at Tang Qing and instructed urgently: âPlease have the guests seated first.â
Tang Qing felt very guilty, and just as he was contemplating whether to kick out those few relatives, he heard Chiang Xiao say that and immediately complied.
With his call, the other guests also took their seats, and the waiters began serving appetizers, and conversations picked up at the tables.
The remaining group consisted of Xiao Guangâs family of three, Grandpa Meng, and the family of those two unruly children.
