Chapter 1473: Chapter 1475: Basking in Her Glory

Chiang Xiao understood upon hearing that one sentence.

It has always been easier to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to send charcoal in snowy weather.

It must be that when the Tang Family was having a difficult time back then, Tang Qing had also sought help, but, Wang Lili’s father was unwilling to extend a helping hand; hence, Tang Qing’s current cold attitude towards Wang Lili.

Originally, Old Tang had even taken Tang Qing to City J to seek help from Old Bai, suggesting that among the relatives in Capital City, those who could help didn’t want to, and those who wanted to help didn’t have the ability; thus, they could only look elsewhere.

Chiang Xiao thought of this, yet she didn’t realize that later on, Old Bai’s few times of assisting the Tang Family were actually for her sake.

Old Bai wanted to make a connection with Chiang Xiao; knowing that Old Tang and his grandson had a good relationship with Chiang Xiao, he was also willing to help more. Otherwise, even if he wanted to, City J and the Capital were far apart, and he was old, without a special connection, it wouldn’t have persuaded him to make the effort.

However, this was something Old Tang was acutely aware of.

He always felt that, without Chiang Xiao knowing, they were basking in her reflected glory, which was somewhat embarrassing; he had also intended to have Tang Qing bring this up during her visit.

Tang Qing paused, then said, "Forget it."

Forget it – if they help, it’s a favor; if not, then they owe us no favors.

After all, there were no longer any relations left.

Initially, Qin Xiaojun came with the mindset of standing up for Wang Lili, though she didn’t quite understand why she felt that way.

Seeing now that things weren’t as she had thought, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Tang Qing, Chiang Xiao, you two go ahead and eat. Lili and I will grab some food too, and we’ll join you in a while," said Qin Xiaojun, pulling Wang Lili away.

Tang Qing picked up a chicken leg and took a bite.

Chiang Xiao glanced at him and asked, "Is it tough now? Do you need any help?"

"It’s not tough. The hardest time has passed; things at home are pretty good now," Tang Qing replied. "Moreover, Sister Chiang Xiao, you’ve already helped us."

"Ah?"

Tang Qing then told her about the help Old Bai provided. "Grandfather said we owe you thanks; he feels ashamed and hasn’t had the chance to say it to your face."

Chiang Xiao didn’t expect these things.

She shook her head and said, "Actually, it’s just that Old Bai is kind-hearted by nature. You don’t need to worry about that on my account."

If it comes to Old Bai possibly owing her some favors, she was indeed willing to accept them.

Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili came over with their trays and sat down. Then, Wang Lili stood up again, bought four bottles of soda, and handed one to Tang Qing.

Tang Qing pushed the soda back, "I don’t drink soda; it upsets my stomach."

He wasn’t lying, but that was in the past. Since occasionally eating the pastries from Chiang Xiao in recent years, his stomach rarely acted up.

Wang Lili thought he was simply refusing to give her face, not willing to mend their relationship, bit her lower lip, and stayed silent while eating.

"Tang Qing, this Saturday is my birthday. I’ve invited classmates over for a meal at my home; you should come too. Oh, I also invited Chiang Xiao."

"What a coincidence, my grandfather’s birthday is also this weekend. I came here to invite Sister Chiang Xiao too."

Qin Xiaojun was momentarily taken aback.

She turned to Chiang Xiao. As Chiang Xiao was about to speak, she already said, "What a coincidence, why don’t you accept Tang Qing’s invitation then? It’s no big deal on my side."

Chiang Xiao was about to share her plans, but hearing these words, she immediately changed what she was going to say.

"Okay."
