Chapter 1262: Chapter 1263: Something is Off

Chiang Xiao glanced at her and asked, "Was it your idea to let Nian Mutong stay in the room?"

"It was my idea, but Dad and Chao Jun didn’t object."

Chiang Xiao didn’t believe it.

Old Meng and Meng Chaojun already knew that the house had been transferred to her name. Now it could be said to be her house, and they were only staying here temporarily. How could they agree to such an idea?

But looking at Duan Qingqing’s expression, she didn’t seem to be lying.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I would lie to you? If they hadn’t agreed, would I dare to let someone come in to refurbish the room?" Duan Qingqing shrugged her shoulders.

Just as Chiang Xiao was about to speak, Nian Mutong came in.

"That room, it’s Brother Xinian’s, right? I really don’t want to fight with Brother Xinian over a room. I can stay in the guest room."

As Nian Mutong spoke, she looked at Chiang Xiao and smiled at her, while extending her hand, "Hello, nice to meet you, I am Nian Mutong."

Before Chiang Xiao could react, she quickly added, "Sorry, I just came back from abroad. I’ve gotten used to shaking hands, I’m not sure if this custom has become common here yet."

Nian Mutong’s smile seemed absolutely perfect.

She had a very elegant fragrance about her, apparently from perfume.

Chiang Xiao also noticed her nails were painted a light cherry blossom pink, looking very pretty.

It was still rare to see painted nails domestically.

Just now, Chiang Xiao had only been standing by the door, watching from a distance, and thought she was about the same age as Du Jinruo. Now, seeing her up close, Chiang Xiao realized that Nian Mutong was only about twenty years old.

Chiang Xiao also smiled slightly.

"There’s a guest at home, I’ll call Meng Xinian."

Brother Xinian...

Ha.

Chiang Xiao didn’t say anything more and headed straight for the phone.

Duan Qingqing reached out to stop her, "Chiang Xiao!"

"What? Are you paying for the call?" Chiang Xiao glanced back sharply.

She was extremely displeased with the Meng family members at present, and naturally wanted to call Meng Xinian. She could do so much for him, go through hardships, but that didn’t mean she was willing to endlessly tolerate these people from the Meng family, their endless provocations.

Besides, Meng Xinian could be cold-hearted and cruel towards the Meng family, protect her, and seek justice for the grievances she suffered, even to the point of making the Meng family cry. So, what about encountering someone with the surname Nian?

Was it a relative from his mother’s side?

She suddenly wanted to know if his protection for her was unconditional, or if it was just because there hadn’t been another person he cared about yet?

Duan Qingqing was stunned by her glare, and didn’t dare to pull or stop her anymore.

Chiang Xiao directly dialed Meng Xinian’s number in Xinying District, City M.

Meng Xinian had just returned to the district not long ago and temporarily had no other tasks, so naturally, he was in the district.

Hearing that the call was from Capital City, he immediately guessed it was Chiang Xiao and hurried to answer the phone.

Indeed, the call was from Chiang Xiao.

Meng Xinian’s tone immediately softened.

"Little, have you arrived home?"

As Chiang Xiao watched Duan Qingqing and Nian Mutong standing by, she smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I went out to lunch with Chen Yin and Wang Yi, and then just returned to the Meng family."

Returned to the Meng family?

Upon hearing these words, Meng Xinian felt a jolt of unease.

Something felt off.

"Grandpa isn’t there?"
