Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

"Do you really think your dad is like a three-year-old?" Ah Liu chuckled and said, "I've remembered a lot of things now, and I'm not dumb. Besides, I'm not alone, I've got your aunt and uncle."

Chiang Xiao nodded.

It's actually because of Ah Liu's composed and intelligent demeanor over the past several days that she's comfortable leaving him at home.

She trusts that Li Hanzhong and the others will protect him well, both publicly and privately, in every sense, Ah Liu's treatment of Li Hanzhong mostly benefits him.

"Wait, Little, where did you say you were going just now?" Meng Xinian suddenly asked. "Where's the competition this time?"

"Country Y."

Meng Xinian was momentarily stunned but then chuckled.

"It seems our destiny is truly extraordinary. I'm about to take on a task, and it involves going to Country Y."

"What?"

Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

"Did you forget? Why did I ask you to teach me a foreign language these past few days?"

Chiang Xiao was equally astonished.

Ah Liu also smiled, "Well, isn't this a coincidence, you two might be able to look after each other in Country Y, which makes me even more relieved."

"I have to return to Anbu Town early tomorrow morning, and it's very likely I'll be leaving a few days later. I'll be heading out a few days before you, so when you arrive, make sure to contact me."

Meng Xinian was happy inside; he originally thought that taking on this task would separate him from Chiang Xiaoxiao for half a month, but now knowing this, they might still meet in Country Y, even if they can only meet once, it's still good.

"Are you going alone?"

"No, it should be four people. I can't say much about the task, but I'll try to meet up over there."

"Alright."

Chiang Xiao was also very pleased.

It's her first time going abroad, and Meng Xinian is also there. Even if they can't meet, knowing they are in the same place makes her feel much more at ease.

The next day, Meng Xinian returned to Anbu Town.

Chiang Xiao replied to He Jin last night, deciding to go to Country Y for the competition.

He Jin was naturally very happy and immediately began coordinating all the arrangements for her over there.

Of course, Chiang Xiao had to inform Liu Guoying about this.

So the next day, after Ah Liu went to the hospital, she went back to school to attend classes and took the chance to tell Liu Guoying.

After the first class ended, before she could find Liu Guoying, Jin Lei pulled her aside to gossip about Ye Wanqing.

Chiang Xiao then remembered she hadn't had the time to follow up on the art exhibition, so she first listened to Jin Lei's gossip.

"Did you notice? Someone didn't even attend class!" Jin Lei said, "They called in sick; since the day they returned from the art exhibition, they've been taking leave, not showing up. I guess it's out of embarrassment, not wanting to face teachers and classmates."

The incident at the gallery was witnessed by teachers and classmates; everyone knew Ye Wanqing had dressed up just to make a splash, and while she did, it was with an infamous outcome.

Now the class is saying she truly is vain.

"Are you saying her painting was priced at two hundred dollars?" Chiang Xiao couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah, yours is close to ten thousand, hers two hundred — that comparison must have infuriated her. You can't imagine how bad her expression was when she heard that price."

Chiang Xiao hadn't expected Liu Guoying and Wang Yi to pull such a move.

It really could have driven Ye Wanqing mad.

But frankly, based on the quality of that painting alone, it should at least be worth a thousand dollars, as it is a good piece.

Of course, it's just that the creator isn't well-known; otherwise, it could have been even higher.
