In this era, a seven or eight-story hotel is definitely considered luxurious.
Meng Xinian had changed into casual clothes before coming out and glanced at the hotel before saying to Chiang Xiao, "Shall we stay here?"
"Don’t you think it’s extravagant?"
This was akin to staying at a five-star hotel.
Meng Xinian stretched out his hand and ruffled her hair, "Your Brother Xinian has money."
In the future, all his money would be spent on his little girl.
How did he suddenly turn into an overbearing CEO?
"Right, I almost forgot to tell you," she suddenly remembered Lei Jiasheng’s matter and realized she had yet to mention it to him, "We met Vice Captain Lei, Lei Jiasheng’s mother from your camp on the train. Aunt Shi brought her grandson to the city to find Vice Captain Lei, but she came down with a high fever on the train and even fainted. It was Brother Hu and I who took them to the hospital. They are likely still in the hospital now, do you want to go visit?"
"Lei Jiasheng?" Meng Xinian frowned, "Did he go to the hospital?"
"Yes, Brother Hu found him. He had already gone to the hospital by the time I went to find you this morning."
"It’s his mother and his son, it’s fine if he’s there." Meng Xinian had no intention of visiting.
Chiang Xiao noticed his attitude and seemed to understand something, so she didn’t urge him further.
Meng Xinian took her to Furong Hotel and booked two adjoining rooms, separated by just one wall. He showed his Supervisor Guard credentials, and the hotel staff assumed Chiang Xiao was his sister as well. The girl at the registration desk was surprisingly nice to Chiang Xiao, greeting her with a smile throughout the entire process and speaking in a gentle voice.
However, with the example of Yu Chunyu before her, Chiang Xiao was wary. Seeing her , she dodged out of the way, letting Meng Xinian handle the registration on his own.
The hotel rooms were standard. Their rooms were on the third floor, not big, but they looked clean, and some details were up to par. For this era, it was considered high-end.
Meng Xinian was surprised and perplexed to see how calm Chiang Xiao was about staying in such an expensive hotel. Was this girl just naturally uninterested in new things around her, or was she used to it?
But how could she be used to it?
Chiang Xiao herself was quite helpless. She really didn’t know how to act. It was possible occasionally, but expecting her to always appear curious and excited about her surroundings was simply impossible. Besides, wouldn’t that kind of life be exhausting?
Did she have to let out a ’wow’ whenever she saw the old-fashioned washbasin in the bathroom, and run over to touch it, exclaiming about the pristine white ceramic?
After setting down their luggage, Chiang Xiao was somewhat eager to go to the library. Meng Xinian took her downstairs, but as fate would have it, they encountered the friend they were looking for right in the lobby.
At that moment, the group was walking anxiously towards them, talking in tones that sounded worried and tense.
Chiang Xiao didn’t recognize any of them, but just as she was about to step aside, Meng Xinian pulled her back.
"The one in the blue short-sleeve shirt is Kuang Yunxian, the lecturer from M City University."
Kuang Yunxian? That name was quite unique and pleasant in this era.
Chiang Xiao looked towards Kuang Yunxian. He was a tall and handsome man, almost thirty, dressed very neatly and tidily. Chiang Xiao noticed his hands; they were slender, like those of a pianist.
Such a man was the type the Chiang Xiao of the previous world would have liked.
