Old Meng waved his hand, "How can we beat those kids into a total rout if we don’t participate?" He spoke with some indignation, "The one who won last time was promoted to Deputy Officer within three days, and now, three years later, has already been promoted to Officer in a certain place, listening to everything the Gao Family says. The Gao Family might very well intend to repeat the same trick."
Seeing Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao looking somewhat puzzled at him, Old Meng felt a wave of powerlessness in his heart.
Talking to them, they just don’t understand!
That’s why Meng Chaojun always told him that if he hoped Meng Xinian could climb higher and go farther, he should find him a reliable family through marriage.
People like Chiang Songhai, who couldn’t even understand these matters, what help could they possibly offer in terms of support?
Old Meng suddenly felt a bit heartbroken for his eldest grandson.
But there was no helping it, he couldn’t seriously suggest Meng Xinian marry someone he didn’t like, just like Meng Chaojun and Duan Qingqing had done, could he?
Besides, Little was quite nice.
Old Meng looked at Chiang Xiao, only to see her lost in thought.
"Little, what are you thinking about?" he asked involuntarily.
Chiang Xiao snapped back to reality, "Grandfather, it’s nothing, I was just wondering whether Brother Xinian truly wants to participate in this Elite Supervisor Guard competition. I wonder if waiting another three years would affect him."
"That kid definitely wants to take part. Waiting another three years, who knows if he would be able to participate smoothly after that? Besides, this time there’s the competition for the Elite Supervisor Guard King, which has a different significance."
Chiang Xiao nodded, "Maybe his injury will have healed by then."
Old Meng let out a bitter laugh, "This list has to be submitted at the latest five days before the competition, which means there’s only half a month left. Do you think his leg injury can be healed in half a month?"
Actually, the time was quite sufficient, if she were to intervene.
Chiang Xiao didn’t speak further.
The sound of a car approached from outside.
Chiang Xiao immediately leaped up, "Brother Xinian is back, I’m going out to meet him!"
She ran out quickly, just in time to see Zhao Xin moving the wheelchair ramp, and then moving to carry Meng Xinian out of the car.
Meng Xinian kicked him on the rear, "Do you think I’m paralyzed?" Can’t I even get out of a car?
Meng Xinian had gone for specialized training previously, and Zhao Xin and the others followed, but they did not participate in front-line missions, instead undergoing closed training.
He had returned two days later than Meng Xinian.
"S-Sister-in-law, hello!" Zhao Xin, pushed away by Meng Xinian, had just steadied himself when he saw the girl standing straight and tall, and upon closer inspection realized it was Chiang Xiao. He quickly reined in his astonishment and greeted her properly.
"Did you drive Brother Xinian back here?"
"You’re not in a hurry to go back, are you?" As she spoke, Chiang Xiao naturally walked over to Meng Xinian, grabbed his hand, let his arm rest on her shoulder like a crutch, and helped him down from the car.
Zhao Xin looked back to see the same Captain Meng who had just kicked him sitting silently, his arm around Chiang Xiao, as she helped him to the wheelchair, revealing a slightly aggrieved expression.
Really, seeing beauty and forgetting friends, Captain.
When I kindly try to help you, you kick me, but when Sister-in-law helps you, you’re as gentle as a kitten!
Am I not stronger than Sister-in-law?
Humph, you’re just using the opportunity to hold Sister-in-law close!
Captain, you’ve learned to play dirty!
Nobody saw Zhao Xin’s rich inner monologue.
"The car belongs to the military camp. He needs to drive it back. There’s no time to stay for a meal," Meng Xinian replied coolly.
"No, Captain, I..." There is time for lunch, the car only needs to be back by two o’clock...
