Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1399: Chapter 1401: Cousin Ye Wanqing

”Um, I should be entering my freshman year, of course; anything else depends on the school’s arrangements.” Liu Guoying looked at Lee Wenwei with some surprise.

Who would have thought there’d actually be such a connection, such a coincidence?

So he has a cousin who just got into the art college?

”Then your cousin should be classmates with Xiao Chiang.”

Lee Wenwei looked at Chiang Xiao with astonishment too, ”Really? Little Yi only told me on the way here that today she was visiting her best friend Wen Wu, she didn’t mention that Chiang Xiao got into the art college.”

”Little Yi?”

Chen Yin stood beside Wang Yi, and when he heard Lee Wenwei’s nickname for her, his expression darkened.

He knew all of Wang Yi’s relatives, and none of them had the surname Lee.

So, this Lee Wenwei was not a relative of the Wang Family. But then, why would Wang Yi bring him to such a small gathering? What did that imply?

He looked at Wang Yi, but Wang Yi wasn’t looking at him and had even moved a couple of steps to the side, distancing herself from him.

Chen Yin’s face grew even darker.

Chiang Xiao, purely out of politeness, upon hearing Lee Wenwei’s words, asked, ”Then what is Mr. Lee’s cousin’s last name? We’re reporting to school tomorrow. I’ll be on the lookout.”

Lee Wenwei said cheerfully, ”That would be great. My cousin’s family actually isn’t very well off, and we relatives pooled money together for her college tuition. She’s not that sophisticated, and we’ve always worried about her not fitting in at school or getting bullied. Now with Chiang Xiao around, I can go back and tell my aunt not to worry. We’ll have to trouble Chiang Xiao to look out for her more in the future.”

Xiao Chiang was asking what your cousin’s surname is. Why are you spouting all this irrelevant stuff?” Wang Yi interjected.

Lee Wenwei smacked his forehead, not taking offense, and continued with a smile, ”Look at me, I’m just too much like one of the family, you know? Little Yi’s good friend is like family to me. Chiang Xiao, don’t mind me, don’t mind me.”

Chiang Xiao gave a smile.

”My cousin’s family name is Ye, named Ye Wanqing, true to her name, a bit shy and very gentle.”

Chiang Xiao, who was initially smiling, suddenly found her smile freezing on her face.

Of course, only Meng Xinian noticed it.

Furthermore, he realized that Chiang Xiao’s gaze turned icy cold the moment she heard that name.

He paused for a moment, then took her hand and gave a gentle squeeze.

Chiang Xiao snapped back to reality.

But inside, she was clearly taken by a storm of shock and surprise.

Ye Wanqing!

That name had entered her ears so unexpectedly from the mouth of a man whom she had never seen or heard of in her past life!

And she hadn’t expected that Wang Yi’s blind date would turn out to be Ye Wanqing’s cousin!

There was a time when Ye Wanqing was very close to her, yet she never heard Ye Wanqing mention such a cousin.

As for what Lee Wenwei had said, Chiang Xiao found it very amusing.

Ye Wanqing’s family not well off? She could believe that.

But saying Ye Wanqing was shy, gentle, and unsophisticated, fearing she wouldn’t fit in at school and get bullied - now that was truly the biggest joke!

At the start of the school year, Ye Wanqing did seem to keep a low profile and even wore very ordinary clothes. However, halfway through the semester, she was transformed into a celebrity in school, known as the department and school beauty.

In school, there were countless male students willing to do things for her; copying homework, fetching water, getting meals, lining up, reserving spots, buying medicine - all these things, Ye Wanqing never had to do herself.
