Chapter 258: Chapter 258: I Gave the Engagent Gift
Chiang Xiao wanted to facepalm.
Captain ng! Brother, big brother! How do you manage to spout such nonsense with such a grave and serious face?
As if it was true!
She had absolutely no idea this was going on!
But she also knew that at this ti, his thod was the most appropriate! It could completely eliminate the rumors about her seducing n and the impact of Zhao Erleng shouting “sister-in-law.”
To the folks in the countryside, even a verbal engagent was quite formal, and she could already be regarded as soone with a partner.
Now was the ti to deal with this situation. She was still young, and by the ti she grew up to the age of talking about marriage, maybe everyone would have forgotten about this whole thing.
Even if they hadn’t forgotten, she would be long gone from Siyang Village by then, moved to the big city, where who would care about these things?
As for ng Xinian—
If it truly ca to dating him, she guessed no one would believe such a thing. Besides, how could she, a little girl, pose any threat?
So, this should have no impact on ng Xinian.
With this in mind, Chiang Xiao didn’t speak. She was just worried that her grandparents wouldn’t be supportive and would expose Tyrant ng’s lies right there and then.
That would truly be sabotaging everything.
Unexpectedly, when she looked over, she found her grandparents both with faces full of shock.
The shock didn’t seem to co from being scared by ng Xinian’s nonsense, but rather it looked as if his words had triggered so mory, an epiphany of sorts.
Chiang Xiao was stunned.
“This can’t be! Impossible!” Ho Laidi seed quite shaken, but her tone was sowhat weaker, and this sign of backing down was imdiately seized by ng Xinian.
He imdiately countered in a deep voice, “Why is it impossible? How much do you know about what happened back then?”
This question was well-positioned, putting Ho Laidi in a spot. If she knew nothing, naturally she’d have no right to question him.
But clearly, she thought of sothing that might sohow be related to what he was talking about. For instance, Chiang Songhai did indeed often go to the town more than a decade or two ago. Back then he was young and strong, traveled far, found many rare dicinal herbs, and made quite a few good dicines himself.
Like Shuangzhen Wine, which back then was extrely rare and had great effects on injury treatnt and health improvent.
Because she knew these things, Ho Laidi started to believe a bit of ng Xinian’s words, hence the wavering.
But at this mont, Chiang Songtao spoke in a grave voice, “Comrade, you’re also a soldier, how can you speak irresponsibly? Ten years ago, we already defeated the enemy, where are there still battles to fight?”
All eyes turned to ng Xinian again.
ng Xinian remained very calm, “When did I say it was ten years ago? I’m talking about over twenty years ago. More than twenty years ago, my father was already married, which is why my grandfather set a child betrothal with your grandfather. There were many secret missions at that ti, and it was not as stable as you all might think. As for what missions and why there were casualties, you don’t need to know. Of course, I believe that in that era, you should rember, it wasn’t so peaceful.”
Chiang Songtao had nothing to say.
“We have always been trustworthy and value commitnts, so, this ti I’m here to deliver the betrothal gifts, and Chiang Xiao has already accepted the betrothal gifts. From now on, our relationship is clear and aboveboard, she is my fiancée. Little, if anyone doesn’t believe it, take out the betrothal gifts to show them. Did you bring it?”
ng Xinian looked towards Chiang Xiao.
His gaze deep and shiny black.
Chiang Xiao had a face full of black lines.
Captain ng, that didn’t need to be said!
ng Xinian’s eyes gradually revealed a hint of amusent.
The more you say, the more convincing it is, right?
