Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2688: Chapter 2624: The Young Master’s Study Companion

"Dad, why are you concerned about these things?"

Ding Haijing already had a hunch, but he found it unbelievable, it couldn’t be such a coincidence that his dad was connected to the Jiang Family, right?

"I can tell you now." Father Ding sighed heavily.

"Haven’t you always asked what my past identity was? It’s time I told you. Actually, I came from an ordinary family, and we were quite poor."

"But you read and write so well."

Growing up poor, yet being able to read so many books?

"Because, back in the day, I was a companion to the Sixth Young Master Jiang, and back then I was called Ding Fu."

Ding Haijing was completely stunned.

"The Sixth Young Master was a few years younger than me; though he was a rich young master, he was extremely kind and always treated me as family. So, being with him, I got to read and write with him. The Sixth Young Master even bought me a set of paper, ink, brushes, and inkstones every month, just like his own. He even let me join him with the high-priced tutors to learn calligraphy."

Ding Fu’s eyes looked a bit distant, lost in memory.

...

Chiang Xiao and Chen Baoshen returned to Capital City, and they were picked up at the train station by Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng.

She had called home before she came back.

Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng had two days off but didn’t plan to go back, so they stayed at home.

First, they sent Chen Baoshen back to Renzhi Hall. Along the way, the two didn’t say much, but once only the three of them were left in the car, even honest Luo Yongsheng and Guan Tiezhu couldn’t hold it in any longer.

"Xiao Chiang, you didn’t tell us you were going to D State."

"Yeah, you clearly said you were going to stay at the Chief Alliance Officer’s house for a few days, so we felt at ease taking time off. But then you suddenly went off to D State on your own. That’s not right, is it?"

"What if something happened?"

"No matter what, you should have told us."

"Yes, when we received the call to pick you up at the train station, we were really shocked. Xiao Chiang, this isn’t okay, is it?"

Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng usually weren’t very talkative, and it was typically Ding Haijing who would talk about her more often, so they seemed genuinely displeased this time.

Chiang Xiao was sweating cold under their reprimand.

These two honest people, once they started to complain, were quite powerful too.

They didn’t give her any chance to refute; it was one sentence after another, without a moment for her to interject.

"We already said it’s a troublesome time now. Officer Meng also told us to follow you closely at all times. How could you leave us behind and go to such a far place by yourself?"

"And you used the Chief Alliance Officer as a smokescreen."

"Xiao Chiang..."

Seeing they really weren’t going to stop, Chiang Xiao hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, okay! I won’t ditch you guys and run off to D State alone again, just this once, alright?"

Yeah, right.

Chiang Xiao secretly added these two words in her mind.

She used the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram to get there; there were no issues, and there wouldn’t be any danger along the way.

Luo Yongsheng and Guan Tiezhu exchanged a glance and both sighed.

Earlier, they had nagged her driven by that bit of anger, but when she earnestly made a promise, they couldn’t nag her any further.

If Ding Haijing were here, it would probably be more than just nagging.

Chiang Xiao also wanted to ask, "Hasn’t Ding Haijing come back yet?"

"He should be back tonight."

When they got home, Ding Haijing was leaning on the door.

"Went to the Chief Alliance Officer’s place to pick up Xiao Chiang?" Ding Haijing asked.

It wasn’t the Chief Alliance Officer’s place at all...
