Chapter 1495: Chapter 1497 A Jolt

Ge Liutao understood and acknowledged before hurriedly going to make a phone call.

Chen Kaijin felt a sudden tightness in her heart, wanting to find a reason to stop her; she always felt that it wouldn’t be as easy to fish for information with Meng Xinian around.

But Ge Liutao was moving quite quickly, taking a few quick, small steps to the side to dial the phone.

Chen Kaijin could only sit on the sofa with Chiang Yuequn.

"Dad, Chiang Xiao went to study in the Capital City, right?" She decided to seize the opportunity to probe him.

Chiang Songhai nodded and said, "Yes, that’s right."

"I heard she was the provincial top scorer," Chen Kaijin said with a smile, "Chiang Xiao is really amazing. With such good academic results, the school and the village must have given her some awards, right? The province must have awarded her too."

"She did receive some awards; all were used by Little to buy paint and study materials," Chiang Songhai cautiously said, "It wasn’t much; all spent by the time school started."

Upon hearing this, Chiang Yuequn was suddenly struck dumb.

He remembered that his second uncle wasn’t like this before. At least, when asked such a question, the second uncle would certainly have proudly and excitedly said, yes, yes, this amount from here, that amount from there...

That’s the honest response he should have given.

When did his extremely honest second uncle start speaking in such vague terms?

Chiang Yuequn was quite surprised as he looked at Chiang Songhai.

Chen Kaijin, however, did not know what Chiang Songhai was like before; she only knew he was honest, but not to what extent. So, hearing him speak this way now did not strike her as strange.

What concerned her most was to verify whether this house was indeed bought by him, how much it cost, and how the money was earned.

Knowing that Chiang Xiao’s fiancé might come over soon, she didn’t dare waste time, quickly asking, "Dad, you moved to the city, and Qingjiang and I didn’t even know. Why don’t you live in the village or the town anymore?"

"Oh, it’s nothing; just felt that it’s quite nice here," Chiang Songhai vaguely responded.

Seeing this, Chiang Yuequn felt even more surprised.

"Dad, I heard this mansion was purchased, right? It must have cost a lot of money! Can our family afford it?" Chen Kaijin said, quickly adding, "Dad, I have no other intentions in asking this; I’m just thinking that this house definitely wasn’t cheap. Look, Qingjiang and I are part of the family too; we can’t let the elders be under so much pressure. If a lot of money was really spent on this house, I’d have to let Qingjiang know to contribute some money, too. How can we not chip in for our own house?"

Chen Kaijin’s thought was that Chiang Songhai, being so honest, would certainly be touched by their willingness to pay. Moreover, by lowering her stance so much and treating them as true family, if Chiang Songhai was moved and persuaded by her and allowed them to contribute some money, the house would be tied to them for real, from which there’d be no escaping.

If it had been the Chiang Songhai of the past, that could indeed have been possible.

But Chiang Songhai, having experienced so much already, being enlightened by Chiang Xiao, and having long been disenchanted and guarded against the Old Chiang Family and Deng Qingjiang couple, now upon hearing this immediately had a reaction.

His previously feared worry had happened!

Back when he just bought the house, he had worried that once Deng Qingjiang found out there was a house in his name, greed might arise, and they might come for the house. It seems now that it’s indeed the case!
