Chiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.
Grandpa Bai, could he be the "Old Man Bai" Yu Hang and the others mentioned?
She hadn’t arranged a specific time with Old Man Bai; he had mentioned that he wanted to meet her over the weekend, but whether it was tomorrow or the day after, daytime or evening, she would have to wait for Yu Zhensheng to contact Old Man Bai again.
Up till now, she still hadn’t clearly asked what exactly Old Man Bai’s background was, and she hadn’t even inquired about what matter Yu Hang and Xi Minghui had stirred up or whom they had provoked.
Only now, when she heard Tang Qing mention "Grandpa Bai," did she start to wonder.
Old Tang paused, then sighed, "Indeed, I still don’t know how Old Bai is doing now, and it’s not convenient to take Xiao Chiang with me. Xiao Chiang, we live here too, how about I have Tang Qing go out and buy you something to eat for now, and when we come back, Grandpa can treat you to a nice meal, how does that sound?"
"No need, Old Tang..."
Chiang Xiao hadn’t finished speaking when Yu Hang suddenly rushed in.
Upon seeing Chiang Xiao, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to her.
"I was afraid you had already gone out to look for food, but good, I caught up in time. Come on, I’ll take you to eat the best local delicacies!"
Yu Hang hadn’t noticed Old Tang and Tang Qing.
But as soon as Old Tang saw Yu Hang, he sensed something was amiss.
"Xiao Chiang, this is your classmate?"
Before Chiang Xiao could speak, Old Tang had already hastily spoken up. Yu Hang then noticed him and Tang Qing, looking at Chiang Xiao with questioning eyes.
Chiang Xiao had no choice but to introduce them.
"Old Tang, you have an appointment, you should go ahead. Tang Qing, take good care of Old Tang."
Chiang Xiao was actually somewhat afraid that Old Tang would start talking about fiances and fiancees soon. She didn’t want her private affairs to spread all over the school.
"I got it." Tang Qing subconsciously listened to her and hurriedly helped Old Tang walk out, "Grandpa, let’s go, we should hurry up and change before we leave. It wouldn’t be good to be late, weren’t you nervous about it earlier?"
Once upstairs, Old Tang still felt something was off and said while changing clothes, "Ah Qing, I don’t think this is right. That boy named Yu Hang, why does he seem so eager towards Xiao Chiang?"
Tang Qing reluctantly said, "Isn’t he Xiao Chiang’s classmate?"
"A male classmate!" Old Tang was somewhat huffy, then suddenly remembered, "Didn’t your Grandpa Meng say that Xiao Chiang was going to high school in City M? How come she has a classmate from City J? Just now, that Yu Hang said he was taking her to eat something local, right?"
It was as if he suddenly realized something troubling, his eyes widened, "Xiao Chiang hasn’t started attending high school in City J, has she?"
"If she were attending high school in City J, she should be living at the school, why would she be staying in a hotel?"
"That’s true. So what’s the deal with that Yu Hang?" Old Tang was still uneasy, "No, once we leave the Bai Family’s place, we must clear this up."
Chiang Xiao never imagined that a trip to City J would coincidentally involve Old Tang, and even less that Old Tang would suddenly take such an interest in Yu Hang.
Latter on, because of this incident, she was given quite a hard time by Tyrant Meng.
And Old Tang didn’t know at all that he thought Chiang Xiao went out with Yu Hang to eat, which she did not do at all.
Yu Hang had just returned home after two months away, and even before he had a meal with his parents, he came out looking for Chiang Xiao—after Xi Guoyou had left. Chiang Xiao guessed something and rejected him even more firmly.
Yu Hang left, feeling helpless, and after Chiang Xiao freshened up in her room and packed her bag, she went out to stroll around City J alone.
However, that evening, Old Meng who had received a call from Old Tang felt somewhat restless.
