Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2379: Chapter 2315: Still Won’t Let Her Go

”Grandpa, his name is Ding Haijing, and I hired him.”

Old Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still quite surprised, ”Why did you hire someone?”

”I’m her bodyguard.”

Originally, Chiang Xiao didn’t want to say it directly, fearing Old Meng would worry, but Ding Haijing had already spoken up before her.

”What? A bodyguard?” Old Meng was indeed startled: ”Little, have you encountered some bad people? Why would you hire a bodyguard for no reason?”

Nowadays, what sort of people hire bodyguards?

What kind of danger warrants hiring a bodyguard?

He was genuinely worried.

Chiang Xiao glared at Ding Haijing, and he immediately realized he had made a mistake. He rubbed his nose, gave her an apologetic look, and said, ”I’ll go get them to take over.”

”There’s more of them?” Old Meng was surprised.

Chiang Xiao said, ”Actually, it’s nothing serious. It’s just that since my dad went back, my identity might soon be impossible to hide, so I found a few people to make them feel a bit more at ease.”

Among ”them” was surely Meng Xinian, Old Meng knew.

He nodded to show he understood.

But he was still quite worried as he said, ”Yes, indeed, none of us expected you to be a girl from the D State Jiang Family.”

They found out later and didn’t dare to talk about it, only mentioning it during idle chats with Meng Chaojun, feeling it was incredible.

Meng Chaojun also thought he had been truly ridiculous in the past.

He always thought Chiang Xiao was marrying above her station into the Meng Family, much like a pheasant marrying into a phoenix’s nest, only to realize her background was exponentially more prestigious.

If Jiang Shiheng actually took over the Jiang Family, with Chiang Xiao’s status as a young lady of a wealthy family, she could easily marry a Junior General, let alone Commander Meng.

Now he’s relieved that Chiang Xiao is not the kind of girl he thought.

Knowing her background and before knowing, she hadn’t changed much.

No, now it seems she’s become much softer.

Her personality wasn’t as stubborn anymore.

Chiang Xiao’s reason also convinced Old Meng.

Chiang Xiao had him sit down, handed him some tea leaves to brew himself, ”Grandpa, I’ll go prepare the potion.”

”Alright, you go on.”

Old Meng, being able to sit here and personally brew the good tea from Chiang Xiao’s place, was already feeling quite content and leisurely.

Meanwhile, Ye Wanqing was lying on the bed crying her heart out.

She had been expelled from the art academy!

Ye Wanqing never expected she would be expelled from the art academy!

But it was a fact.

She could no longer attend school; what could she do now?

She had already sent a message to Deng Qingjiang, telling him to come over quickly, but three days had passed since she sent it, and Deng Qingjiang was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Wanqing felt her whole world was collapsing.

Just as she was crying miserably, the door was banged upon loudly.

Chen Kaijin’s voice came from outside, ”Little Vixen, open the door! Come out! I know you’re in there. Open the door now!”

Ye Wanqing suddenly sat up and glared at the door.

She naturally recognized Chen Kaijin’s voice. She hated her to the core.

If Chen Kaijin hadn’t caused trouble at the art academy, how could she have been expelled?

She wouldn’t let her off!

”If you don’t open the door, I’ll have someone bring an axe and chop it down! Just see if I dare!”

Afraid that she might really break down the door, and also filled with anger, Ye Wanqing immediately rushed to the kitchen, filled a basin with cold water, ran to open the door, and splashed the water right onto Chen Kaijin’s face.
