Chapter 2460 - 2396: Using Authority to Pressure Someone

Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

Sure enough, Hu Xiangyong still wanted her to paint.

But after hearing Meng Xinian’s analysis, she didn’t want to paint anymore.

"The teacher didn’t agree on my behalf, did he?"

Liu Guoying said irritably, "Of course not, could I dare make that decision for you? However, didn’t you agree before that you could paint for him?"

"I said before that I wanted to paint, but now I’ve changed my mind and don’t want to anymore."

"You’re so indecisive..."

"It’s no big deal, I only change my mind when it comes to people I don’t like."

If he’s not happy, let him come bite her, if he can catch her.

This Hu Xiangyong constantly keeping an eye on her wasn’t a good thing.

Chiang Xiao felt she should find something to give him a hard time.

Thinking of this, she made a phone call to Jiang Yingqiong.

"Aunt, if I feel someone’s background is unclear, suspicious, and he’s a businessman, just happened to come to invest and open shops, what can I do?"

Jiang Yingqiong hadn’t heard Chiang Xiao speak so directly to her before.

It was almost as if she was making a direct complaint.

"What do you think is suspicious about him?"

"I don’t know either, but can’t we have someone check him out?"

"It’s not impossible, if he wants to invest and open shops to do business, there are many departments overseeing that, should I have a word with them?"

"Yes, thank you, Aunt!"

Chiang Xiao promptly expressed her gratitude.

She was also trying out using authority to pressure others.

Anyway, that Hu Xiangyong definitely had issues.

Putting aside other things, just the fact that he allegedly tried to have Meng Xinian assassinated in Country Y was enough for him to deserve trouble, so Chiang Xiao felt no psychological burden in causing him issues.

Plus, his business was just starting, and someone like him wouldn’t follow all legal and proper procedures, Chiang Xiao didn’t believe it.

Once investigated and closely watched, there must be problems.

As long as there are problems, that’s enough.

Creating trouble for him, ideally forcing him to leave, would be the best outcome.

After causing some trouble for him, Chiang Xiao felt great.

But then she quickly remembered something, and couldn’t help but slap her forehead.

She originally planned to visit the hospital with Meng Xinian to check on Meng Chaojun last night, but didn’t since Meng Xinian hadn’t returned. Afterwards, when she mentioned the Talisman Diagram, they got so caught up in it that Meng Chaojun was forgotten.

His treatment plan should be out by now.

And Chiang Xiao felt she should check his reaction after taking the potion for two days, so she quickly tidied up and rushed to the hospital.

Old Meng had been at the hospital for two afternoons as well.

Later, he had Meng Sheng come over to take care of Meng Chaojun.

Old Meng initially wanted to call Chiang Xiao, but worried it might annoy her, so he opted not to make the call these past two days.

This afternoon, after his nap, he had someone drive him to the hospital, but before entering, he was stopped at the hospital entrance.

"Old Meng, it’s been many years, do you remember me?"

This calm voice sounded vaguely familiar to Old Meng.

He looked up and saw the other person with a half-smiling expression.

A middle-aged man.

He could tell it was a middle-aged man, likely due to Old Meng’s intuition.

Because he didn’t focus on people’s faces, he looked at their eyes.

This man’s eyes didn’t have the brightness typical of younger people.
