Chapter 1026: Chapter 1027: What Kind of Relationship Is This?

The next day, Chiang Xiao followed Ho Cong and was placed in Second Grade Class One, beginning their shared life of study.

A week passed quickly.

As long as it was about studying, Chiang Xiao adapted very quickly. She had been a quiet student focused solely on her studies in her past life.

Some students in Elite Middle School looked down on those who came from small towns, but who could blame Chiang Xiao for being too attractive? Moreover, her fashionably dressed appearance, combined with her academic performance, really didn’t leave much room for anyone to trouble her.

It was Ho Cong, her classmate, who initially faced some ostracism, but that stopped within a few days when he solved a problem that had stumped ninety-five percent of the class, which subsequently raised his popularity.

So that week, Chiang Xiao didn’t contact Chen Yin.

The Capital Art Academy’s exhibition was about to start, and the news had already reported that Xu Yiqiu had returned to the country. Chiang Xiao saw Xu Yiqiu’s photo in the newspaper.

In Chiang Xiao’s eyes, photos from this era all possessed a strong vintage feel.

Xu Yiqiu wasn’t very pretty, but she had an elegant and oriental demeanor.

It was said that this type of appearance was beautiful in the eyes of foreign men.

Chiang Xiao spent the week with group activities, so that weekend she decided to visit Old Meng, after all, it really wouldn’t be right not to visit him after arriving in Capital.

She specifically waited for the time Old Meng had told her was best for calling.

To her surprise, a woman’s voice answered the phone.

It wasn’t the housekeeper Aunt Guo. Chiang Xiao could already recognize Aunt Guo’s voice. Old Meng had said that Qingie usually wouldn’t be at home at this time. Yet, hearing that voice, Chiang Xiao quickly determined it must be Duan Qingqing.

"Who are you looking for?"

Chiang Xiao wasn’t afraid of Qingie, so naturally, she didn’t panic and hang up just because it was her who answered.

She pursed her lips and politely said, "Hello, may I speak to Grandpa Meng? Could you please ask him to come to the phone?"

This was the first time Duan Qingqing had received a call from Chiang Xiao.

A young girl’s voice, looking for Meng Donghai?

She was taken aback for a moment, then something came to her mind, and she immediately suppressed an eerily excited mood, calmly asking, "He’s not here right now. Who are you? What do you need him for?"

"My surname is Chiang, and I wanted to visit Grandpa Meng. May I ask where he has gone?" So far, Chiang Xiao was still maintaining politeness and courtesy, but she felt oddly strange inside—the person on the other end was her future mother-in-law, wasn’t she?

Their politely conversing made her wonder what it would really be like when they met in person.

Her maternal grandparents were somewhat hopeful that she could endear herself to Meng Chaojun and his wife; in their older generation’s mindset, the younger generation, especially those who were to marry into a family, naturally needed to humble themselves.

But Chiang Xiao didn’t have this mindset at all, especially since the other party was a stepmother who treated Meng Xinian very poorly, making him reluctant to even return home.

Therefore, she felt more comfortable keeping a stranger’s pleasantries for now.

"Chiang? Which family’s child are you? Your voice sounds quite young," Duan Qingqing asked again.

"Indeed, I am not very old."

Chiang Xiao frowned, feeling that Duan Qingqing might be very curious about her identity?

"How old are you?"

Chiang Xiao wanted to roll her eyes.

"If Grandpa Meng is not there, I’ll call back another time."

As she said this, she was about to hang up the phone, but Duan Qingqing called out to her again, "Hey, Xiao Chiang, may I call you Xiao Chiang? Since you are calling my husband ’Grandpa,’ why don’t we chat a little more?"
