Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1432: Chapter 1434: The Complications in His Family

Jin Lei nodded: ”I know her, Sister Qing treats me really well, and our homes are not far apart. But, she really has a tough life.”

Chiang Xiao was somewhat baffled.

She had only heard Meng Xinian mention that Kuang Yunxian’s family was also a mess, so Kuang Yunxian seldom returned home and even avoided dating or getting married, but Kuang Yunxian never talked about his family issues, and she never asked.

She just didn’t expect Jin Lei to be acquainted with Kuang Yunxian’s family members.

Seeing her looking bewildered, Kuang Yunxian took the initiative to clarify.

”Kuang Qing is my cousin, the daughter of my uncle. My father passed away when I was very young, and my mother remarried far away and rarely meets us. I grew up in my uncle’s home.”

Chiang Xiao was stunned upon hearing this.

She never knew that Kuang Yunxian’s family circumstances were like this.

Since he has always been gentle and polite, always smiling at people, Chiang Xiao thought even if his family situation was complicated, there should be someone who loved and cherished him, be it his father, or his mother.

She didn’t expect that he...

So, what did he mean by his family circumstances being complicated?

”Your cousin, she’s older than me, right?” Chiang Xiao asked, immediately feeling her question was redundant. Jin Lei referred to Kuang Qingqing as sister, so naturally Kuang Qingqing was older than her.

Kuang Yunxian’s eyes twinkled with a hint of amusement as he nodded.

”Yes, Qingqing is twenty-two, attending Normal University.”

She is five years older than her.

”Is she sick?”

Kuang Yunxian fell silent.

However, Jin Lei couldn’t help but burst out indignantly: ”What do you mean sick? She was pushed down the stairs by that woman, injuring her foot!”

”Xiaolei!” Wang Yi spoke with a stern tone.

She had said it many times; after all, it was the Kong Family’s affair. No matter how much Jin Lei felt for Qingqing, he shouldn’t overstep bounds.

Especially since Qingqing’s brother was here.

Chiang Xiao glanced at Kuang Yunxian, noticing a hint of heaviness in his expression, and sighed. Indeed, every family has its own troubles.

”Brother Kuang, are you planning to go to the hospital later? Maybe I can go with you,” Chiang Xiao said to Kuang Yunxian.

Wang Yi and Jin Lei wouldn’t stay here too long; Jin Lei had classes tomorrow, and Wang Yi had work. They would probably leave after sitting for a while post-dinner.

Following Kuang Yunxian to the hospital would also allow her to see Qingqing’s condition, and if Qingqing and Kuang Yunxian were close, and if her injuries were severe, she might be able to help.

Chiang Xiao wasn’t a saint; she definitely wouldn’t be so kindhearted towards others. But Kuang Yunxian had been very kind to her over the years, and was one of Meng Xinian’s few good friends, almost like a brother, so she naturally didn’t consider him an outsider.

”Okay, then I won’t stand on ceremony with you,” Kuang Yunxian nodded.

”Brother Kuang, I’ve heard Sister Qing mention you, saying you have good calligraphy skills, is that so?”

As Jin Lei and Kuang Yunxian began chatting, Wang Yi pulled Chiang Xiao into the kitchen.

Chiang Xiao started cooking the rice and took out Spare Ribs to marinate, while Wang Yi peeled garlic next to her, whispering to her about the Kong Family’s situation.

”The Kong Family is also a family of scholars. Qingqing’s father, you might have heard his name, Kuang Kanzhi, a very cultured literary figure.”

Chiang Xiao paused, ”Kuang Kanzhi?”

Of course, she had heard this name, as Kuang Kanzhi became famous quite early, and continued to have columns published in newspapers and mainstream literary magazines.
