Just now they seemed ready to tear their family apart, but now, seeing that Meng Xinian is not to be trifled with and witnessing his wealth, they realize they can’t further slander Chiang Xiao. Have they abruptly changed their tune, taking the affectionate and kind relative approach?
When Meng Xinian introduced himself earlier, he had asked Chiang Songhai and the others to just call him ’Little Meng,’ but none of them dared to!
Yet Chiang Songtao was calling him ’Little Meng’ this and ’Little Meng’ that, so naturally!
Moreover, he even asked Meng Xinian to call him ’Uncle,’ and introduced him to his uncles and aunt!
All of a sudden, it was as if Meng Xinian had become a grandson of their family!
Chiang Xiao stood there stunned for a good while, admiring the thickness of Chiang Songtao’s skin. She felt the most shameless person in the Old Chiang Family should not be Ho Laidi, but Chiang Songtao instead!
Earlier, when Ho Laidi came in and caused such a scene, cursing them vilely, Chiang Songtao stood by the door without uttering a word to stop her. However, when he felt it was time to stop Ho Laidi from going on, he immediately stepped forward, assuming the authoritative role of head of the family and acting like a patriarch.
Thinking of what he had just said to Meng Xinian, Chiang Xiao found it increasingly amusing and looked at ’Little Meng.’ Finally unable to hold it in, she covered her stomach and laughed so hard she couldn’t straighten up.
"Little Meng, do you want to go upstairs later to check on your ’Second Uncle’?" she said mockingly, imitating Chiang Songtao’s tone as she laughed.
"Little Meng, you ’Supervisor Guards’ are capable, help investigate clearly who harmed your ’Second Uncle’ last night!"
Ha ha ha, it’s too hilarious.
Has Tyrant Meng ever seen someone so shameless?
To take it upon himself to act as her fiance right off the bat! Now they’ve gained such a relative; let’s see what he does!
"Little, don’t be rude," Ge Liutao gently patted her back.
This child, what if she angers Captain Meng by behaving ?
Meng Xinian, with a stern face, watched Chiang Xiao laugh until her face turned red and couldn’t help but flick her forehead, laughing irritably, "You heartless little thing, I’m helping you!"
Chiang Xiao still couldn’t stop laughing.
Even Ge Xiaotong and Liu Pei couldn’t help but cover their mouths and snicker.
At that moment, Ge Dejun noticed Chiang Songhai’s expression seemed a bit strange, thinking he was worried that Meng Xinian might harbor some untoward intentions towards Chiang Xiao, but didn’t dare to ask outright. After pondering a while, he decided to clear it up for him.
"Um, Captain Meng, the things you said just now, it was just to help our ’Little,’ right? To prevent people from the Old Chiang Family from tarnishing Little’s reputation, wasn’t it?"
Yao Cong, standing outside the door, perked up his ears at that moment.
Meng Xinian paused for a moment, then responded, "Of course it is."
"That’s good, we thought you really had... feelings for ’Little,’" Ge Dejun blurted out, then laughed awkwardly.
Meng Xinian glanced at Chiang Xiao and said, "How could I? I have a very normal state of mind, I don’t have any filthy thoughts about ’Little.’ In my heart, she’s like a sister."
Ge Dejun’s worries were completely alleviated.
However, both Liu Pei and Ge Xiaotong couldn’t help but show a hint of disappointment.
As women, from their perspective, Meng Xinian was definitely a great husband material. Even though Chiang Xiao was still young, the age difference with Meng Xinian wasn’t really a problem—men being more mature could take better care of a woman.
They had really hoped it was true.
Especially Ge Xiaotong.
She had been watching Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao and felt that when they interacted, their rapport seemed really good—as if nobody else could intrude on their little world.
