Regardless, no one would think her to be ng Xinian’s fiancée.
Half a month flashed by in an instant.
Liu Guoying and his wife returned four days ago.
Originally, he was only supposed to stay for three days, but he ended up staying for half a month.
Moreover, before his arrival, he was virtually unknown, but by the ti he left, he had been crowned with the title of Master Liu.
After Liu Guoying returned, he went for a tea with Principal Fu Mingfeng of Jingfu Middle School, and both couldn’t help but sigh at how unpredictable life can be like a ga of chess.
Chiang Xiao played an absolutely huge role in all this.
Whenever Liu Guoying ntioned this student, he felt both helpless and proud.
However, the fact that he had managed to get Chiang Xiao directly into Jingfu Middle School also spread to his old school, making Chiang Xiao even more famous, while Liu Guoying’s reputation for favoritism also spread far and wide.
In the end, Chen Yin did not purchase Xu Yiqiu’s painting but instead negotiated for one with Chiang Xiao, and then used her connections to request one from Liu Guoying as well.
Chiang Xiao’s painting was given for free, but Liu Guoying’s was sold for sixty thousand yuan.
The painting of Howling Northern Wind by Liu Guoying was bought by a wealthy businessman for sixty-eight thousand yuan.
When Liu Guoying had just arrived in the Capital City, he was fretting over the ninety yuan he had to spend for three days’ accommodation, but when he left, he had beco a bona fide wealthy man with hundreds of thousands in savings.
Cheng Qiulian still can’t quite wrap her head around it.
How did they inexplicably beco rich?
The night before they returned to Huaming County, Chiang Xiao fiercely “shook down” her own teacher.
She made him treat her to Peking duck, at the best restaurant, where she gorged herself until she was greasy-lipped.
Duan Qingqing stayed at the Duan Family ho for a week, initially thinking that ng Chaojun would co to pick her up and take her to the ng Family, but he didn’t send a single ssage.
After seeing Chiang Xiao in the newspapers, she felt Chiang Xiao was too much of a threat. Worried that if she didn’t return soon, she might lose her place in the ng Family, she decided to pack her bags and head back after a week.
On her return, she poured out an endless stream of devoted attention and careful care toward ng Chaojun, occasionally showing a hint of grievance but, surprisingly, refraining from tears.
Chiang Xiao and Old ng couldn’t help but click their tongues in amazent.
“I bet she got so advice from a crafty counselor before she ca back, believe it or not?” whispered Old ng, pulling Chiang Xiao aside in the yard.
In the living room, Duan Qingqing was giving ng Chaojun a head massage.
This ti, her techniques even looked impressively skilled.
Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but snicker.
“Don’t they say that advice is only from a ‘cunning adviser’ if it’s useless? It seems to
that the adviser she’s enlisted is quite capable.”
“It’s probably her father,” said Old ng with certainty. “Old Man Duan is full of sches. If it weren’t for his machinations behind the scenes, Duan Qingqing would’ve never managed to marry into our ng Family.”
Old Man Duan?
Chiang Xiao asked, “Grandpa, weren’t you strongly opposed to it at the ti?”
“Of course I was strongly opposed,” sighed Old ng. “From the start, I didn’t like Duan Qingqing; she’s nothing like Xinian’s mother. If you had t Xinian’s mother, you’d know the kind of daughter-in-law that everyone would like. Unfortunately, at that ti, that fool Chaojun went to the Duan Family for dinner, got himself drunk, and despite the drunkenness, he still managed to co out of their daughter’s room the next day. Now tell , could I have still stopped it?”
Chiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
This was such a soap opera!
“At that ti, I suspected that Old Man Duan was the one giving his daughter advice from behind the scenes. But even I didn’t think his tactic would be so ruthless.”
