Chapter 2042 - 1978: Just How Shameless Can One Be

Besides, why are everyone coming over so early during the New Year?

It’s not customary to pay respects this early.

Didn’t Kuang Yunxian already come over to pay respects?

"What’s going on? Is there something happening?"

Chiang Songhai couldn’t help but feel nervous, he was genuinely a bit anxious now.

Chu Liang and Gong Xinhe both glanced at Kuang Yunxian.

Since they were still uncertain whether Kuang Kanzhi would actually come, they initially didn’t plan to mention it to Chiang Songhai, as if Kuang Kanzhi didn’t come, telling him would only dampen their spirits for nothing.

After all, talking about such things during the New Year is always a buzzkill.

Now, facing Kuang Yunxian, it felt somewhat awkward.

Kuang Yunxian is Kuang Kanzhi’s actual nephew.

If they were to talk about Kuang Kanzhi, their tone likely wouldn’t be pleasant.

Seeing their expressions, Kuang Yunxian immediately understood what they were thinking, and truthfully, he felt a bit embarrassed himself.

Originally, he thought he could speak, but seeing their eyes and expressions, he suddenly found himself unable to say anything.

"It’s nothing, I was thinking, isn’t Uncle Chiang’s family visiting today? I have a car and it’s raining, so I thought I’d come over to see if they needed a ride from the train station. But last time I forgot to ask what time they would arrive, so I came over a bit early."

Chiang Songhai let out a sigh of relief, feeling simultaneously a bit embarrassed.

"Xiao Gong said the same thing. Xinian asked Xiao Gong to come over and help. It’s really a hassle during the New Year, bothering you all."

"It’s no trouble at all."

Kuang Yunxian and Gong Xinhe said simultaneously.

Kuang Yunxian now felt a bit regretful, thinking he should have stayed outside.

If Kuang Kanzhi arrived, he could have intercepted him outside, wouldn’t that be better?

But now, everyone was already here, he could only stay put as well.

Perhaps to avoid making them wait too long, Kuang Kanzhi arrived sometime after nine.

Holding an umbrella he had just bought at the station kiosk, and carrying some New Year’s gifts in the other hand, he appeared at the Chiang Family’s door.

Outside, the security officers immediately became alert.

"He’s here, he’s here, this is the guy, right?"

"Yes, matches the age and appearance. Everyone pay attention now. If you hear Deputy Officer Gong shout, rush in and arrest him immediately."

"Understood."

The gate of Chiang Family’s courtyard was just left ajar.

This is how it is here; if there’s someone home, the outer courtyard gate is generally not locked.

Security felt a lot better in this era.

Kuang Kanzhi pushed the door open, saw the courtyard lush with flowers in the rain.

Saying Chiang Xiao didn’t have money, he wouldn’t believe it, just look at this house, look at this courtyard.

So, this should have his share, right?

Because Chiang Xiao owed him.

Thinking this, he smirked with a determined smile.

Treading up a few steps, standing outside the living room, he called inside, "Is anyone home?"

As soon as this voice reached inside, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts simultaneously thinking: He’s here.

He actually dared to come.

He actually came, just how thick-skinned, just how shameless can he be?

Kuang Yunxian immediately stood up, "I’ll go."

He quickly walked to the door and opened it.

Seeing Kuang Kanzhi’s appearance, Kuang Yunxian was startled.

Kuang Kanzhi looked completely different from his previous refined and literate appearance.

Now his clothes were crumpled, his hair messy, eyes bloodshot, and the corner of his mouth seemed sore, like he had an ulcer from too much heat.

"Yunxian? What are you doing here?"
