Chapter 1216: Chapter 1217: To Deal or Not to Deal
Seeing Xue Liujin silent, he quickly added, “Originally, our family had so minor conflicts and misunderstandings with Second Uncle and Chiang Xiao, but after all, this is a serious matter. My brother is truly wronged, and it is exactly because of this that our family and Second Uncle and Chiang Xiao are now united. I’m not sure if this could be considered a blessing in disguise.”
He said this because he feared that Xue Liujin would find out that Chiang Xiao had already severed ties with his family.
Moreover, by speaking this way, his credibility would absolutely be enhanced.
Sure enough, since he took the initiative to ntion the previous conflicts with Chiang Xiao, Xue Liujin was inclined to believe his statent.
His rationale seed quite credible.
For a major affair, relatives who had conflicts before could possibly sit down together again to discuss and help each other out.
No conflict is greater than the lives of one’s own relatives.
Xue Liujin thought for a mont and said, “What’s your brother’s na? Was he sent to the detention center in Huaming County? Explain it to
clearly, and I’ll make a call to see what can be done.”
Was this an indication of agreent?
Chiang Baoguo was overjoyed in his heart.
Chiang Xiao entered the ancient tomb again and, seeing Xiao Cai and the others still busily heads down, didn’t greet them and directly went into one of the tomb chambers.
Xiao Cai, who had been looking down, only raised his head after she entered and glanced over.
The bespectacled man noticed her and smiled, saying, “What’s the matter, Xiao Cai, still not over Officer ng? We heard that that little Chiang, is Officer ng’s fiancée, and they’ve had a banquet.”
Xiao Cai was sowhat annoyed.
“What are you talking about? Can’t I look at him a bit more? Besides, what feelings do I have for Officer ng? I just admire him, that’s all; I heard he is one of the elite Supervisor Guards!”
“Oh, so it’s just admiration?”
“Just admiration, what’s wrong with that?”
“Nothing, nothing; no need to get so angry. Okay, let’s get back to work,” said the bespectacled man quickly.
The few people nearby shook their heads and chuckled.
Such matters were sensitive as girls are inherently shy; they all pretended to be unaware, except for the bespectacled man who kept teasing Xiao Cai.
Chiang Xiao heard the noise outside, her lips curling slightly, but she didn’t take it to heart.
If ng Xinian was so easily swayed by other won, she would have given up on him without a second thought.
However, from what she had observed before, ng Xinian was much colder to other girls than she had anticipated.
Thus, she still trusted him.
She switched on the light in this tomb chamber and then stood in front of a mural.
Looking now, her gaze still instantly went to the hand of the man in the mural, which was holding a brush.
Chiang Xiao stood there carefully examining it.
She was still quite conflicted.
To deal with the brush or not?
If she decided to deal with it, she had no idea in the mont what thod to use that wouldn’t make it evident that sothing was amiss.
If she left it untouched, the mural was in this tomb, and she was truly uncertain whether sothing might be excavated from this tomb later that could prove the brush was indeed here.
All these were unknowns.
She even dared not be certain whether she would have to publicly use the Magic Brush in the future.
What if, in her previous life, that old man who had killed her had subordinates whose talents required her confrontation?
Moreover, if she really married ng Xinian and the two beca inseparably close, she couldn’t possibly spend all her painting ti in the Space.
