Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2236: Chapter 2172: Chiang Xiao Is So Kind

"Really? Is it that good?" Kuang Yunxian was skeptical.

He actually still trusted Chiang Xiao a lot, but now that Chiang Xiao said the shop’s price has increased tenfold, he still felt it was a bit exaggerated.

Chiang Xiao nodded and once again affirmed, "Really, think about it again, selling it really isn’t worth it."

She thought for a moment and added, "If you really need money, you could sell the house first."

Kuang Yunxian smiled wryly, "Uncle said if he can’t return to the Capital City, then sell everything. This avoids troubles from Kuang Huizhi in the future and prevents Qingqing from being corrupted by her mother, coming back to claim the house or shop, so sell it all, keeping the money at hand makes him rest assured."

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but grumble internally.

No wonder Xiao Fang wanted to divorce Kuang Kanzhi, they only had Kuang Qingqing as a daughter, and yet they were so guarded. What could holding onto a pile of money do?

However, she wouldn’t sympathize with someone like Kuang Qingqing.

"Then you can buy that shop yourself."

"I don’t have that much money."

Chiang Xiao paused for a moment, "How about I lend it to you?"

Looking at Kuang Yunxian, what came to her mind was how, during past New Year’s, he would visit to pay his respects and give her and Little Snowball red envelopes.

She had very few friends, so for anyone who could become her friend, she was willing to cultivate that friendship well.

So, even if she thought buying the house and shop afterwards would be a huge profit, she still wanted to be clear with Kuang Yunxian, letting him keep them.

Her words left Kuang Yunxian completely stunned.

He originally thought that because of the issue with Kuang Kanzhi, Chiang Xiao would distance herself from him with dislike, because he asked them to let Kuang Kanzhi go for the sake of their friendship.

He thought their friendship was over, and in the future, at most, he could only admire from afar, sharing a polite but distant nod if they met.

For this, he had once gotten drunk late at night, covering his face and crying alone.

But now Chiang Xiao still bore no grudge towards him!

She even wanted to lend him such a large sum of money!

Meng Xinian probably knew his income well, and Chiang Xiao, being so clever, had some idea too. Twelve thousand, he didn’t know how many years it would take to pay it off.

Yet she was still willing to lend it to him.

And he knew Chiang Xiao’s character; as long as she said it, she genuinely intended to lend.

Kuang Yunxian’s eyes grew hot, nose tingling, almost unable to hold back tears.

He turned his head to conceal it, pretending to glance at the guests coming up the stairs. Then he blinked forcefully, suppressing the teary feeling.

He, being a grown man, was really embarrassed.

Kuang Yunxian calmed himself and turned back to Chiang Xiao, saying, "Thank you, Xiao Chiang."

You have no idea how much energy your words just gave me.

"But there’s no need, as you know, I don’t have much I want. My current job is very stable, the salary is enough, and I even have some savings. Besides, if I coach calligraphy occasionally, along with work from the association, there’s additional income, so it’s truly enough."

He wanted to explain his income to her, responding to her sincere gesture.

"I’m not foolish, Uncle said he’d give me two-tenths for helping him handle these. Moreover, if I buy the shop, I’m afraid it might stir up trouble later."

If the shop was in his hands and its price really increased later, or if Qingqing came back, or Kuang Kanzhi changed his mind wanting it back, it would undeniably trouble him.

His personality made it impossible to be as decisive as Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao, so better to avoid offending than courting disaster.
