Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1431: Chapter 1433: An Acquaintance

She felt that it wasn’t a matter of money, but that the gift was really made with such care.

She wasn’t in a position to bring Little Snowball over to stay with her yet, as she was still in school and spending most of her time there, she definitely wouldn’t be able to take care of Little Snowball.

But having this porcelain cat ornament in the house made it feel like Little Snowball was also part of this home.

She immediately carried the porcelain cat out, ”I’ll go put it in the living room.”

”Go ahead, shall I start picking the vegetables?”

”Yeah, sure! I won’t stand on ceremony!” Chiang Xiao ran out.

Kuang Yunxian smiled, took the vegetables out to the yard, and started to pick through them carefully.

The front door was left open, and soon, Wang Yi and Jin Lei arrived.

As the two of them entered, they saw the man sitting on the stone chair picking vegetables and they were both taken aback.

”Cousin, could this be the Officer Meng you mentioned?” Jin Lei whispered, ”But didn’t you say Officer Meng was very tall and cold-looking? This man doesn’t seem to fit that description at all. He seems rather refined and gentle.”

He had just learned on the way over that Chiang Xiao was already betrothed.

The reason Wang Yi told him was because Jin Lei had made a joking remark, saying he found Chiang Xiao very pretty and if they found they had mutual interests during their university days, and if they hit it off, then Wang Yi would have a closer relationship with Chiang Xiao in the future.

Jin Lei meant it in jest, but it startled Wang Yi.

She was indeed feeling hurt by love at the moment, a little sensitive in her heart. Knowing how painful it is to be wrongfully devoted, she worried that without making things clear, Jin Lei might really fall for Chiang Xiao, so she told him straight up.

She said that Chiang Xiao has had a partner for some time, and that her partner was a Supervisor Guard, tall and imposing.

Jin Lei, who also admired Supervisor Guards, was naturally no longer game for jokes about Chiang Xiao. Instead, his interest in Meng Xinian grew, saying he wanted to see what this tall and formidable Supervisor Guard was really like.

His father was from the literary circles; Jin Lei, having been brought up among Literati, had an admiration for the robust spirit of Supervisor Guards.

But now, seeing Kuang Yunxian, his first impression was that this man was clearly of his father’s type!

Though also very handsome, he certainly didn’t fit the image of being tall and imposing.

Wang Yi quickly shook her head, ”Of course, this is not Officer Meng. He is...”

She also felt Kuang Yunxian looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him before, but couldn’t recall at the moment.

But with an unexpected man picking vegetables in Chiang Xiao’s home, which she thought she’d be visiting alone, Wang Yi was also momentarily at a loss.

It was Kuang Yunxian who responded first, standing up and waving over to them, ”Are you friends of Xiao Chiang? Please come in.” With that, he called towards the living room, ”Xiao Chiang, your friends are here.”

Only when Wang Yi saw Chiang Xiao coming out of the living room did she breathe a sigh of relief, bringing Jin Lei inside with her.

”Let me introduce you, this is Kuang Yunxian, a lecturer from M City University, and he’s also from the Capital City.”

Jin Lei suddenly made a sound of surprise, ”Your surname is Kuang?”

Wang Yi gently patted his back, feeling he was being a bit abrupt.

”Yes, my surname is Kuang,” Kuang Yunxian didn’t seem to mind.

However, Jin Lei couldn’t help but say, ”Are you Sister Qing’s elder brother? Kuang Qingqing, do you know that she’s been hospitalized?”

”I’m aware, I came back to the Capital this time specifically to visit her,” Kuang Yunxian looked at Jin Lei. ”You know Qingqing?”
