Chapter 587: Chapter 588 Various Lies

"Your understanding isn’t bad, fiancée," Meng Xinian nodded, "That’s the idea. You must know that your fiancé is an exceptionally handsome and capable man, who will be admired by many girls."

"That’s quite thick-skinned of you," Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"Also, call me Brother Xinian!" Meng Xinian tapped her head again. Are you itching for a nickname like Tyrant Meng?

"But I really think you are a bit of a tyrant!"

For example, right now, why was he always preventing her from returning to Peace Town?

This problem was not easy to solve!

She had no Ganoderma Lucidum Slices at home, and it wasn’t easy to take them out here, so how was she supposed to explain?

Chiang Xiao was on the verge of going crazy.

She couldn’t just tell the truth, that it was impossible for her family to produce any Ganoderma Lucidum Slices. Met by Meng Xinian’s gaze that seemed to see through everything, Chiang Xiao dared not say more and left dejectedly.

Returning home seemed impossible.

She could only go and bluff her grandparents.

In the end, she still thought of a solution.

"You said you gave Xiao Hu some Ganoderma before?" Chiang Songhai was taken aback.

"Yes, Brother Hu helped me a lot, right? And the last time I went to the provincial city with him, I met Uncle Huo’s family through his introduction, so I gave him a pack of Ganoderma Lucidum Slices. I’ll ask him to mail them here for now, and I’ll give him some more when we go back."

As Chiang Xiao spoke, she broke out in a cold sweat and cursed Tyrant Meng in her heart.

Look, just look at what he had driven her to, lying through her teeth to her grandparents! She felt like her good granddaughter persona was crashing down! Unable to bluff Tyrant Meng, she’d turned to deceiving her honest and sincere elders!

Chiang Songhai hesitated and asked, "But the Ganoderma was already given to Xiao Hu, wouldn’t it be a bit improper to ask him to send it back?"

Ge Liutao also said, "Yeah, won’t Xiao Hu be upset?" After all, it was already a gift to him. Maybe he’s already used it up, wouldn’t asking him to send it back feel like taking it back from him?

"What if Xiao Hu already gave the Ganoderma away or finished it?"

Chiang Xiao nervously said, "No, that won’t happen. I saw it with my own eyes when I visited him before I came out this time, and Brother Hu is a really nice guy. He won’t get mad. This way is faster, we don’t have to rush back home, and I really want to take you guys around the provincial city properly."

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao exchanged glances. They were used to following Chiang Xiao’s lead in everything, so if she arranged it this way and saw no issue, they naturally went along with it.

And they too were looking forward to exploring the provincial city.

So Chiang Xiao managed to take care of the matter and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when Meng Xinian asked how she had finally managed it, she didn’t dare to be too specific and muddled through his questions.

Every time she saw Meng Xinian’s sharp and shining eyes, she felt waves of guilt.

Ah, life is so difficult, and it’s even harder for someone with a big secret.

Chiang Xiao obediently went to sleep in the hotel bed that night, to avoid any suspicion from somebody when they visited her room the next day.

Early the next morning, while it was still dim outside, someone knocked on her door.

Rubbing her eyes and hair tousled, Chiang Xiao went to open the door and saw the bright and spirited Meng Xinian.

It was the first time Meng Xinian saw Chiang Xiao just after waking up. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes still hazy, and her languid demeanor really made her look like a little kitten.
