He suddenly felt that the current Chiang Xiaoxiao was so endearing!
Her fierce, cold, and angry look made him feel a warmth deep in his heart.
Since when did he need someone to protect him?
But Chiang Xiaoxiao protecting him felt damn good.
"You’re still able to laugh?" Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but pinch his arm.
She really couldn’t imagine a day when the bully Meng Xinian was so humiliated by others!
It was utterly ridiculous!
"How did you get here?" Meng Xinian’s tone of speaking now was gentle enough to drip water.
"If I hadn’t come, how could I have seen somebody being bullied without the power to fight back?" Chiang Xiao rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Grandpa, are you alright?" Du Jinruo’s worried voice suddenly rang out, breaking the stunned silence of the crowd.
Meng Donghai then came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I’m fine, I’m fine, Xiao Du, how about you?" Then he said to Meng Xinian, "Boy, come over and help Xiao Du. Did she sprain her ankle?"
Chiang Xiao also took this moment to get a clear look at the other people in the corridor.
Especially Meng Donghai and Du Jinruo.
Du Jinruo was so beautiful that even Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
What was rare was that her beauty was the kind that felt like a breath of spring air, with no aggression, nor did it make people feel excessively fragile.
If she were a man, she guessed she would like such a woman, too.
As for Meng Donghai’s identity, she guessed it right away.
And the way that woman had called out "Grandpa" also let Chiang Xiao guess her identity.
After all, a certain someone had previously reported to her in letters.
Ah, the beautiful Du. The beauty that Grandpa Meng had a good impression of.
Chiang Xiao immediately looked at Meng Xinian with a mockingly amused expression.
Meng Xinian, being the clever man he was, quickly took another step closer to her side, leaning in closer, while he put on a stern face and said expressionlessly to Grandpa Meng, "This is a hospital, there are two guard officers right beside, and if it really comes down to it, you can help her up yourself."
Meng Donghai hadn’t really thought much of it; as a man of simple mind, he just felt that if Du Jinruo really had a nice personality, it would be good to recognize another goddaughter. Besides, Meng Xinian had been too lonely since he was a child, and perhaps having a god-sister might provide mutual support, so they wouldn’t be as lonely in the future.
Moreover, Du Jinruo had sprained her ankle while helping him, so Meng Xinian, as his grandson, helping her up in gratitude seemed very appropriate to him.
He didn’t have any petty thoughts in his mind.
And he certainly didn’t think that others might feel uncomfortable because of such a matter.
However, when Meng Donghai heard Meng Xinian say that, and saw him stand closer to Chiang Xiao, he understood immediately.
His eyes lit up as he turned to Chiang Xiao.
Could this be the future granddaughter-in-law he had been looking forward to meeting?
Wow, she was really pretty!
And the way she protected Meng Xinian just now? He really liked that!
Grandpa Meng suddenly put the concern for Du Jinruo, who had sprained her ankle, to the back of his mind. Looking at Chiang Xiao, he spoke in his gentlest tone, like a big bad wolf scheming to trick Little Red Riding Hood.
"Girl, is your surname Chiang? Tell Grandpa, are you the one for my good-for-nothing grandson?"
Chiang Xiao was sweating.
What did he mean by "the one"?
Still, she bowed to him solemnly, with a clear voice, "I am Chiang Xiao, hello Grandpa."
