Chapter 1026: Chapter 1027: What Kind of Relationship Is This?
The next day, Chiang Xiao followed Ho Cong and was placed in Second Grade
Class One, beginning their shared life of study.
A week passed quickly.
As long as it was about studying, Chiang Xiao adapted very quickly. She had been a quiet student focused solely on her studies in her past life.
So students in Elite Middle School looked down on those who ca from small towns, but who could bla Chiang Xiao for being too attractive? Moreover, her fashionably dressed appearance, combined with her academic performance, really didn’t leave much room for anyone to trouble her.
It was Ho Cong, her classmate, who initially faced so ostracism, but that stopped within a few days when he solved a problem that had stumped ninety-five percent of the class, which subsequently raised his popularity.
So that week, Chiang Xiao didn’t contact Chen Yin.
The Capital Art Academy’s exhibition was about to start, and the news had already reported that Xu Yiqiu had returned to the country. Chiang Xiao saw Xu Yiqiu’s photo in the newspaper.
In Chiang Xiao’s eyes, photos from this era all possessed a strong vintage feel.
Xu Yiqiu wasn’t very pretty, but she had an elegant and oriental deanor.
It was said that this type of appearance was beautiful in the eyes of foreign n.
Chiang Xiao spent the week with group activities, so that weekend she decided to visit Old ng, after all, it really wouldn’t be right not to visit him after arriving in Capital.
She specifically waited for the ti Old ng had told her was best for calling.
To her surprise, a woman’s voice answered the phone.
It wasn’t the housekeeper Aunt Guo. Chiang Xiao could already recognize Aunt Guo’s voice. Old ng had said that Qingie usually wouldn’t be at ho at this ti. Yet, hearing that voice, Chiang Xiao quickly determined it must be Duan Qingqing.
“Who are you looking for?”
Chiang Xiao wasn’t afraid of Qingie, so naturally, she didn’t panic and hang up just because it was her who answered.
She pursed her lips and politely said, “Hello, may I speak to Grandpa ng? Could you please ask him to co to the phone?”
This was the first ti Duan Qingqing had received a call from Chiang Xiao.
A young girl’s voice, looking for ng Donghai?
She was taken aback for a mont, then sothing ca to her mind, and she imdiately suppressed an eerily excited mood, calmly asking, “He’s not here right now. Who are you? What do you need him for?”
“My surna is Chiang, and I wanted to visit Grandpa ng. May I ask where he has gone?” So far, Chiang Xiao was still maintaining politeness and courtesy, but she felt oddly strange inside—the person on the other end was her future mother-in-law, wasn’t she?
Their politely conversing made her wonder what it would really be like when they t in person.
Her maternal grandparents were sowhat hopeful that she could endear herself to ng Chaojun and his wife; in their older generation’s mindset, the younger generation, especially those who were to marry into a family, naturally needed to humble themselves.
But Chiang Xiao didn’t have this mindset at all, especially since the other party was a stepmother who treated ng Xinian very poorly, making him reluctant to even return ho.
Therefore, she felt more comfortable keeping a stranger’s pleasantries for now.
“Chiang? Which family’s child are you? Your voice sounds quite young,” Duan Qingqing asked again.
“Indeed, I am not very old.”
Chiang Xiao frowned, feeling that Duan Qingqing might be very curious about her identity?
“How old are you?”
Chiang Xiao wanted to roll her eyes.
“If Grandpa ng is not there, I’ll call back another ti.”
As she said this, she was about to hang up the phone, but Duan Qingqing called out to her again, “Hey, Xiao Chiang, may I call you Xiao Chiang? Since you are calling my husband ‘Grandpa,’ why don’t we chat a little more?”
