Chapter 1528: Chapter 1530: The Mood Is Off
ng Xinian has been calling all morning and noon, but no one has picked up.
His heart feels like it’s being fried in a pan.
He knows his reaction this morning was too abnormal, and Chiang Xiaoxiao would definitely sense sothing was amiss.
So no matter how hard it is to talk about it, he must call her to explain properly.
But no one answered the calls, indicating Chiang Xiaoxiao has not been ho, which made him incredibly anxious. He dared not go anywhere for half a day and just waited in the office.
“Ring ring ring—”
The phone rang, and ng Xinian imdiately picked up the receiver.
“Hello, this is ng Xinian.”
He didn’t dare to reveal his emotions carelessly because he directly asked if it was Little the two tis he picked up calls in the morning, leaving Great Officer Yang and another vice-chief of staff from the Alliance District laughing.
They even asked him if he had offended his fiancee to the point where she’s ignoring him.
So this ti when he picked up the phone, his tone was much steadier.
“ng Xinian.”
As soon as he heard the voice on the other end, ng Xinian’s heart suddenly cald down – Little was back ho and even willing to call him!
His tone instantly softened, tender as dripping water.
“Little, have you just gotten back ho? Have you eaten?”
He hadn’t eaten yet, waiting for her call and not daring to go to the canteen.
He also didn’t want to ask Zhao Xin and the others to get his al because he had never done that before, and suddenly doing so—combined with Zhao Erleng’s big mouth—might lead to rumors spreading in the troop about him being neglected by his fiancee.
How could he allow his relationship with Chiang Xiaoxiao to be carelessly gossiped about by others?
So, he’d rather stay hungry.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his stomach started growling loudly.
He hadn’t eaten breakfast, had trained afterwards, spent the whole morning in the office, and even finished all the paperwork – it would be strange if he wasn’t hungry.
“I haven’t eaten.” Chiang Xiao also just rembered that it was already noon and she hadn’t eaten either.
ng Xinian’s heart tightened again.
No way?
Hasn’t eaten?
Could it be that she was really angry with him, so upset that she lost her appetite? Moreover, from her tone and mood being so down, it was clear that she was upset and not feeling well.
ng Xinian hurriedly spoke up: “Little, listen to , I wasn’t…”
“Brother Xinian,” she cut him off before he could finish, “I saw Chiang Qingzhu.”
“Hmm, a relative of Chiang Family… Chiang Qingzhu!”
ng Xinian wasn’t initially focused on this matter; upon hearing the na Chiang Qingzhu, he only registered the family na and thought it might be so inconsiderate relative from Chiang Family or Old Chiang Family that upset Chiang Xiao.
By the ti he realized, he had already stood up abruptly.
Chiang Qingzhu!
Chiang Xiaoxiao’s biological mother!
His mother-in-law!
The person who disappeared without a trace for fifteen years!
How could she… suddenly appear like this?
Moreover, Chiang Xiaoxiao’s tone and emotions are clearly not right!
ng Xinian’s grip on the receiver tightened as he softened his tone and asked, “In Capital City?”
“Yes.”
Chiang Xiao took a breath and revealed a bitter smile, “Brother Xinian, the woman from Kuang Kanzhi’s family, you’ve heard of her.”
Thoughts of rumors from the past years about Kong Family flashed through ng Xinian’s mind, and his face darkened.
He carefully asked, “You don’t an to say that Kong Family’s woman is actually my mother-in-law, do you?”
Chiang Xiao felt uncomfortable however many tis she heard the words ‘mother-in-law’ from him.
