mander Cui had really never seen such a girl!
She’s got enough courage.
And she’s quite talkative.
And very protective!
He just said a word about Meng Xinian, and she reacted like a lit firecracker, like a little lion with its fur all puffed up.
If he had said something more about Meng Xinian, would she have rolled up her sleeves to fight him?
Unbelievable!
Little did he know, Jiang Xiao wasn’t even finished yet.
"And even if Meng Xinian did make a mistake, what’s the idea behind you, mander, calling me over directly? Are you suggesting that if Meng Xinian makes a mistake, his family has to suffer too? Do you need to rub salt in the wound, letting him discover that after his actions within the Alliance, his fiancée at home has to be dragged over here for a scolding?"
What is she saying!
mander Cui was taken aback, just about to retort, his mouth opened, but he didn’t know how to start.
He suddenly realized what Jiang Xiao said seemed to be true?
Didn’t he just call her over for a good reprimand?
"This is just because I am bold. If it were an ordinary girl with no guts, she would probably be trembling in fear and collapse under such intimidation by the mander."
Jiang Xiao continued, "You’re aware of the Meng family’s situation, aren’t you, mander? Grandpa Meng is old, Brother Xinian’s father had a brain tumor and is now recovering at home. At Grandpa’s age, he has to worry about his son’s illness and his grandson’s safety. Is that why Meng Xinian went to Ke Ku Li, to cowardly hide?"
"Okay, Xiao Jiang."
From the stairs, Madam Cui’s voice reached over.
Her voice was very gentle, with a hint of soothing in it.
Jiang Xiao and mander Cui both looked over.
"Madam." Jiang Xiao’s anger immediately dissipated more than half. Once her mind cleared, she realized what she had done just now.
She stayed silent for a moment.
She actually lectured mander Cui for quite a while?
Uh.
Even if she was really too angry, was this not a bit excessive?
If mander Cui were slightly narrow-minded, she would have been in deep trouble.
What if he took it all out on Tyrant Meng? Did she just ruin things for Tyrant Meng?
Originally, what mander Cui said about Tyrant Meng’s affairs indicated he truly encountered issues at Ke Ku Li, and if she’s still causing trouble back at home, then...
All that anger she had just felt popped like a balloon that had been pricked.
Jiang Xiao looked towards mander Cui, "mander Cui, I..."
mander Cui was genuinely worried that Madam Cui would be frightened, but seeing her posed expression without any sign of distress, he felt relieved, then turned back to glance at Jiang Xiao.
"What, weren’t you eager to speak just now? Suddenly lost your nerve?"
Madam Cui walked over, not to mander Cui, but to Jiang Xiao’s side, holding her hand and gently patting the back of it, "Xiao Jiang, the mander might have been wrong, but listen to Grandma Cui. A junior should not be so rude to elders, loudly contradicting them, understood?"
Madam Cui’s tone remained mild and gentle, but her attitude was quite clear.
Jiang Xiao felt as if this was a family elder teaching her how to conduct herself.
Although Madam Cui’s words implied she was impolite, Jiang Xiao didn’t feel the slightest displeasure, but instead, a bit embarrassed.
