Chapter 1225: Chapter 1226: There Must Be Ulterior Motives
“Chiang Baohe? Your second uncle?”
“Yep.”
She didn’t want to refer to him as her second uncle at all.
“What happened?” It must be no small matter to make her steer clear.
Chiang Xiao then told him about the affair involving Chiang Baohe, Zou Xiaoling, and Yu Chunyu. As soon as he heard that a life had been lost, ng Xinian’s expression changed slightly.
Chiang Baohe turned out to be much more dangerous than he had thought!
Who knows what could’ve happened if Chiang Xiao had fallen into his hands before.
“Is he already detained in the county town now?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll have soone inquire about the progress. You all stay in the camp. Don’t go down the mountain until I get so information. Just stay under my watch.”
Who knows what the Old Chiang Family might do to Chiang Xiao because of this incident.
What they could really seek help for now was indeed only Chiang Xiao.
Chiang Xiao tugged at his sleeve and blinked, “That’s what I wanted to say to you too. You should also not go down the mountain, stay under my watch.”
If Ho Laidi saw him, she would surely cling to him, whether he helped or not, and being relentlessly bothered by that family would definitely affect him in the end.
She wouldn’t agree to let ng Xinian be entangled by those people.
On a whim, she might not be able to hold back from tussling.
“Then we should both stay up here and not go down the mountain,” said ng Xinian, patting her head.
Suddenly, Chiang Xiao rembered sothing and smacked her forehead, “No, I still have to go down the mountain tomorrow. I need to pick up my teacher at the station.”
“I’ll have Dai Gang go pick him up. Just draw a picture of your teacher for him, and he won’t mistake the person.”
“But our family has got another relative in town, not sure if he really counts as one.”
“Hmm?”
“Deng Qingjiang’s wife and her sister.”
Originally, Chiang Songhai was worried that Deng Qingjiang would also covet the house registered under his na, so he once ntioned Deng Qingjiang’s existence to ng Xinian.
ng Xinian also knew about this person.
“They haven’t been in touch for so many years and suddenly show up?” He frowned.
Chiang Xiao imdiately nodded, “Right, so you find it strange too, right?”
“Strange is an understatent. They must have ulterior motives,” said ng Xinian, with a glint of chill in his eyes.
He never resorted to an overly optimistic view of human nature.
So many years without any word, no phone calls, telegrams, or letters, and then the wife suddenly cos visiting ardently, how could it not be strange?
“That’s what I think too. However, it seems my grandparents are sowhat touched,” Chiang Xiao confessed her minor irritation to ng Xinian as if she had found her organization, “I can’t very well bad-mouth Deng Qingjiang to them, after all, they once placed their hopes of being cared for in old age on him.”
Therefore, she feared that speaking too much would only make Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao think she was trying to drive a wedge between them and Deng Qingiang.
Moreover, for them, Deng Qingjiang had not yet committed any unforgivable deeds against them.
Changing their surna?
The man claid it was only to keep a mory of his biological parents, and his heart and affections were still with them.
ng Xinian picked up on her slight distress and pinched her face, “I’ll talk to your grandparents. I’m more suitable than you to say it.”
“You’ll talk to them?”
“Yes. However, I definitely need to et those two people first.”
When they returned to the camp, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao had already brought it up before Chiang Xiao could ntion it.
