Chapter 1483: Chapter 1485: Asking You for a Handout
"Xiao Chiang, I actually didn’t want to tell you all this; the Kong and Zhu Families’ affairs are a complete mess, and I feared that they would taint your ears. Now that you are able to escape from the people of Peace Town Siyang Village, you’ve already gone from bitterness to sweetness; you should properly enjoy your hard-earned college life."
’Gone from bitterness to sweetness?’
Kuang Yunxian’s words prompted Chiang Xiao to smile somewhat helplessly.
He had no idea that the real enemies she sought revenge on had not yet appeared.
In the final analysis, the people of Siyang Village, it was her own uselessness that led her to be bullied. But the others who appeared later were not ones she could stand up to by just being somewhat capable; those were the enemies she had to struggle against, the ones who would push her into hell.
But of course, she naturally wouldn’t make any of this overly clear to Kuang Yunxian.
"According to Brother Kuang’s words, these matters are somewhat related to me and Brother Xinian; after all, we wouldn’t want to have a wicked neighbor. So, Brother Kuang, if you need our help, just ask," Chiang Xiao offered.
"Good, I got it. If there’s anything you can help with in the future, I certainly won’t hesitate to ask," Kuang Yunxian checked the time, "The banquet should be starting soon; shall we go now?"
"Sure."
As Chiang Xiao was preparing to stand up, she suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, "Brother Kuang, are you... short on cash right now?"
Kuang Yunxian was taken aback and then smiled slightly, "I can still manage to live. If Brother Kuang runs out of money, I’ll ask you for some, alright?"
"Alright." After agreeing, Chiang Xiao felt there was something odd about that statement.
"Also, Qingqing bribed one of my colleagues," Kuang Yunxian suddenly said: "He’s my closest colleague, and he saw me preparing red envelopes during the New Year. So, Qingqing found out about it too."
No wonder Kuang Qingqing knew so much.
Chiang Xiao said with a half-smile: "Your cousin really keeps a tight watch on you."
Kuang Yunxian responded with a wry smile: "Actually, one of the reasons why I always hesitate to return to the Capital City is because of her. When Qingqing was younger, she used to listen to me, but now she doesn’t even let me reprimand her. Out of sight, out of mind for me, too."
So it was not so much that he doted on his cousin, but rather, his affection was mixed with gratitude toward his uncle and aunt.
Kuang Qingqing as she was now truly gave him a headache and something he greatly disagreed with.
"Let’s drop it. For now, let’s go wish Old Tang a happy birthday."
At that moment, Old Meng had already arrived at the restaurant, and he was among the earliest to arrive.
Old Tang originally didn’t want to hold a birthday banquet and only intended to set up two tables, but the news spread and relatives who disappeared when times were hard suddenly appeared to offer birthday gifts.
There were also a few people who now had connections with Tang Qing, so they were simply invited as well, making it the Tang Family’s first joyful occasion after several years of decline.
As a result, five tables were set up; aside from one table of relatives’ children, there were thirty-two adults across the four tables—a considerable number.
When Old Meng arrived, the Tang Family’s relatives were also there. The children were running around, and two little ones were fussing over whether there were candies to eat.
"Grandpa Meng, please sit over here, so those kids don’t bump into you," Tang Qing came over and helped him to a wooden sofa on the side.
The guests hadn’t all arrived yet, so there was no rush to take their seats.
Old Meng looked around anxiously and asked, "Has our Little arrived yet?"
