Chiang Xiao.
Chiang and Jiang are pronounced exactly the same, which means that switching the name won't make any real change in how it's said aloud.
She could grow accustomed to it over time.
Upon listening to his suggestion, Chiang Xiao pondered the name silently and realized it felt more comfortable to her.
"Would great-grandfather mind this change?"
From Chiang Xiao's question, Ah Liu could tell she was leaning toward making the switch.
He turned to Old Master Jiang and inquired, "Grandfather, we're only altering the surname while keeping the given name intact—what's your view on that?"
Old Master Jiang felt a touch of regret, yet after some reflection, he decided to accept it. After all, hadn't he mentioned earlier that Chiang Xiao should choose what suited her best? No one ought to pressure her.
"That's okay, as long as Little prefers it. The key part is the family name anyway."
"Little, did you catch great-grandfather's words?"
"Yes, I did—please thank great-grandfather on my behalf." Without further delay, Chiang Xiao added, "Dad, why don't we simply go with Chiang Xiao from now on?"
"Sure thing. This evening, we'll register you in the family registry. On your end, have your aunt arrange for someone to update your ID card, school files, and bank details."
Updating a name requires handling plenty of paperwork.
Without assistance, Chiang Xiao would need to visit various offices multiple times.
Chiang Xiao nodded in agreement.
"It's smart to handle this switch before your wedding with Xinian."
With the name settled, Old Master Jiang felt pleased and allowed Ah Liu and Chiang Xiao to keep chatting as he got ready to head back for some rest.
As he stepped into the courtyard, he spotted Cheng Cheng near the pond, an idea struck him, and he beckoned the young man closer.
Cheng Cheng walked over.
"Any orders for me, Old Master Jiang?"
"You're Cheng Cheng, correct?"
"That's right."
"How's progress in The Third Alliance District?"
"I've only been there a short while, but everything's proceeding smoothly."
"Excellent—keep pushing forward. I believe they'll be sending over two more staff members shortly." Old Master Jiang remarked, giving Cheng Cheng a firm pat on the shoulder.
"Oh, and although you're keeping your surname, as Little's sworn brother, you should address me as great-grandfather, just like she does."
Cheng Cheng paused in surprise.
"What's wrong—do you object?"
"Thank you, great-grandfather." Cheng Cheng promptly straightened up.
Old Master Jiang chuckled deeply, "Fine then. Now, pick a location from the leftover areas in the courtyard, but save the prime spot for Little. Gentlemen like us must yield to the lady, after all."
"Got it."
Cheng Cheng observed as Old Master Jiang departed.
Chen Baoshen instructed Chen Yiping to accompany him and lingered a moment, awaiting Sixth Young Master's conversation to end, since a medical examination was due next.
Chiang Xiao ended her current call and then rang up Meng Xinian.
Luckily, he picked up right away, as he'd intentionally remained in his office to wait.
Chiang Xiao quickly summarized the events in D State and shared her plan to update her name.
Meng Xinian agreed that opting for Chiang Xiao made sense; he'd long since adapted to saying Jiang Xiaoxiao, so ahead, would it become Chiang Xiaoxiao?
It flowed just as easily off the tongue.
"Prioritize updating your school records and ID card. No need to bother the lady—let grandfather manage it. He knows the right officials well."
Old Meng?
Chiang Xiao considered the idea and saw its practicality. The Chief Alliance Officer's Wife had a packed schedule; earlier, when they sought aid for purchasing a vehicle, it only took a single mention from her, yet it still filtered through several levels, proving indirect.
Besides, it fueled speculation about her background, portraying her as enigmatic.
Having Old Meng escort her personally would streamline the process much better.
