After the Public Security Officer had left, Liu Guoying and Cheng Qiulian exchanged a glance, and both gave a somewhat helpless smile.
"Why doesn’t Qing Qing tell the truth? We did ask him at the time," said Cheng Qiulian.
Liu Guoying snorted and said, "With parents like that, what good character can Feng Qing have?"
Fu Mingfeng now knew who Feng Daji and Feng Qing were, and upon hearing this, glanced at Chiang Xiao with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, Xiao Chiang and I actually met because of that kid Feng Qing. Moreover, Xiao Chiang has beaten up Feng Daji before."
As he recounted what had happened on the train, he managed to amuse everyone.
That day at noon, Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian were invited to stay for a meal at the Fu Family, and after eating, they set off on their journey back to the provincial city.
Once back, as soon as she stepped through the door, Ge Liutao gave Chiang Xiao a look.
Understanding the meaning behind that look, Chiang Xiao felt her ears heat up and she pounced over coquettishly, wrapping her arms around her, whispering, "Grandma, what are you thinking about! I really wouldn’t be that foolish!"
Only then did Ge Liutao feel relieved.
She hadn’t been very comfortable with the idea of Chiang Xiao going back with Meng Xinian alone, and even having to stay over there for the night. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Meng Xinian; she just felt that, after all, he was a young man in the prime of his youth, and if he couldn’t control himself at some point, it would be Little who would lose out. But she felt too embarrassed to discuss this with Chiang Songhai.
But now, seeing that Meng Xinian was still a good kid, she felt reassured.
Upon receiving the list of participants for the Elite Supervisor Guard contest, Meng Chaojun made another phone call.
All this time, he didn’t know whose place Old Meng and Meng Xinian were staying in now, still thinking it was Xue Liujin who had arranged the accommodation. After all, in G province M city, Old Meng’s best-known acquaintance should be Xue Liujin.
"Is Meng Xinian there? Let him take the call."
The phone was answered by Chu Liang, who heard a voice filled with anger as soon as he picked up.
Chu Liang glanced outside and said, "May I ask who’s speaking? Captain Meng has gone out."
Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao had gone out to browse the flower market. In the past few days, they had cleared out a new flower bed in the courtyard, and Chiang Xiao wanted to plant flowers, so Meng Xinian drove Kuang Yunxian’s car to take her to the flower market to select some to bring back.
Meanwhile, Old Meng and Chiang Songhai were busy helping to till the soil.
These two, one a grandfather and the other a step-grandfather, were basically revolving around Chiang Xiao; whatever she wanted to do, the two men were likely unable to be of much help to her.
"What about my father then? Let him take the call."
It was only then that Chu Liang realized it was Meng Chaojun on the other end of the phone.
His hand shook a little, and he quickly said, "Please hold on a moment."
He set down the phone and hurried out to summon Old Meng.
Knowing it was his son calling, Old Meng snorted coldly. He methodically put down his hoe, washed his hands, dried them, and then went inside to take the call unhurriedly.
Meng Chaojun almost fainted from frustration with his father, "Dad, it’s urgent, don’t you know?"
"What would I know?" Old Meng touched his eyebrows, "My eyebrows are fine, not burnt by fire."
Meng Chaojun took a deep breath and said, "Meng Xinian signed up for the Elite Supervisor Guard contest. Are you aware of this?"
"That kid really signed up?" Old Meng was surprised, "He mentioned it to me once before, but I didn’t take it seriously."
He hadn’t expected him to actually sign up.
"Dad, you know Meng Xinian is a man of his word. How could you not take him seriously?"
"Alright, now I’m taking it seriously, so what?" Old Meng was shocked inside, thinking about Meng Xinian’s leg injury, but in front of his son, he would never show any concern.
