Chapter 1584: Chapter 1586: Introducing Her to a Prospective Partner
Chiang Xiao and Wang Yi arrived in the Capital City. Wang Yi initially wanted to head straight to the hospital to see Chen Yin, but Chiang Xiao pulled her back, suggesting they return home first.
âNo need to rush. Take a breather first. Go freshen up and change into some clean clothes.â
The train ride to the Capital was unbearably crowded, and someone near them had brought a lot of homemade pickled vegetablesâthe smell of thoseâŠ
Was simply indescribable.
They felt like they were suffocating throughout the journey.
Wang Yi wasnât in great spirits, preoccupied with worries and unable to rest. Her eyes were dark and puffy, and in this state, if she went straight to the hospital and heard bad news, would she be able to handle it?
Wang Yi reluctantly agreed, grabbed some clean clothes, and went to her bathroom for a shower.
Chiang Xiao quickly slipped into Space, took a shower herself, changed clothes, and then stepped out to call Meng Xinian.
The phone barely rang before Meng Xinian answered.
If he wasnât on a mission, he usually calculated her arrival timeâeither calling her or awaiting her call.
âAre you there?â
âYeah, Wang Yi wanted to head straight to the hospital, but I saw she wasnât in good shape and brought her home first to freshen up.â
âLet her know thereâs no need to rush. Iâve spoken to Aunt Chen. Chen Yin has already regained consciousness and is out of danger. Heâs seriously injured, though, and will likely be hospitalized for quite some time.â
Hearing Chen Yin was okay, Chiang Xiao couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief.
âGood, Iâll go visit him later and bring him some medicine.â
âAlright. Iâll make sure Chen Yin thanks you properly in the future.â
Listening to Meng Xinianâs tone, Chiang Xiao felt something was off. Just as she was about to ask, Meng Xinian preemptively spoke up, âIâve discussed the matter of your adoption with Grandpa and Grandma, and theyâre very resistant and heartbroken about it.â
Chiang Xiao remained silent.
Truthfully, she had expected this.
Her straightforward grandparents, though they hadnât been able to protect her much in the past, lacked the meansâthis didnât mean they lacked the intention or love. They truly cared for and spoiled her. Moreover, she understood how many efforts they must have made to raise her, who was frail and sickly as a child, in those tough times and with their limited circumstances.
If she werenât so determined to sever ties with Chiang Qingzhu, she wouldnât have resorted to such a drastic measure.
âLetâs just let it go,â Chiang Xiao sighed and said, âBrother Xinian, letâs think of another way.â
Meng Xinian fell silent for a moment before saying, âIâll see what else I can come up with.â
âOkay.â
âIn the meantime, Iâll keep Kuang Kan Zhi occupied with something so he canât focus on whatâs going on here.â Meng Xinianâs eyes glinted with a sharp edge.
Chiang Xiao blinked, âWhat are you planning?â
âThe Xiao Family.â Meng Xinian only uttered those two words.
Xiao Fang wanted a divorce now, didnât she? Then letâs escalate the matter and have her push for it.
As long as the Kong couple starts fighting, Chiang Qingzhuâs focus will stay entirely there and she wonât have the bandwidth to worry about her parents or daughter.
This was undeniably ironic, but also the truth.
Chiang Xiaoâs gaze sharpened as she spoke, âFor Xiao Fang to agree to divorce, Kuang Qingqing must get married first and have stability.â
Xiao Fang only cared about Kuang Qingqing and little else.
âShould I have someone find a match for Kuang Qingqing?â
As soon as Meng Xinian said that, Chiang Xiao couldnât hold back and burst out laughing. The more she thought about it, the funnier it got.
âHahaha, Brother Xinian, are you seriously hooked on matchmaking? First Wang Yi, now Kuang Qingqing?â
Why did it feel so out of place?
Hearing her laughter, the tension Meng Xinian had been carrying eased slightly. As long as she was happy, he would say or do whatever she wished.
