Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2389 - 2325: Dangerous Premonition
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
"It can be used straight away like cash." A smile crossed Chiang Xiao's face. "With two of you heading there, you ought to savor a pot of flower tea along with a couple of pastries."
The cost for flower tea remains fairly low.
Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili at last got the picture.
Chiang Xiao had decided to foot the bill for them!
After all, taking folks to Youqingwei could leave anyone stunned by the expense.
For instance, right at this moment, Chiang Xiao was shelling out a full hundred bucks, roughly matching what a factory employee earns in an entire month.
Chiang Xiao truly relished witnessing Ye Wanqing in such a pitiful condition; in her view, it was preferable for Ye Wanqing to keep breathing and face constant torment rather than pass away without a fight.
Qin Xiaojun cheerfully brandished the voucher while exclaiming, "Thank you so much, Chiang Xiao! I absolutely love this, I do! Lili, why don't we head over after classes end today for some treats; besides, Ye Wanqing gobbled up those two boxes of pastries without shame, so I missed out on any today."
Wang Lili gave her a nod before expressing her gratitude to Chiang Xiao.
"Thank you."
"Oh, and I figure Ye Wanqing will make it up to me for those pastries today; I've spoken to the cop at the station already, and if she agrees to reimburse me, we can just let it go. She surely doesn't want to linger there indefinitely, does she?"
"Right, provided she locates someone, she'll settle up with you."
A glint appeared in Chiang Xiao's gaze.
Should Deng Qingjiang turn up, he'd cover that hundred-plus dollars on her behalf. In the end, from her previous life, Chiang Xiao believed Deng Qingjiang harbored real affection toward Ye Wanqing.
Following two periods, Liu Guoying abruptly summoned Chiang Xiao to the headmaster's room.
"Listen, you little rascal, what mischief have you stirred up now?"
As they strolled down the hallway, Liu Guoying shot Chiang Xiao an irritated look.
Chiang Xiao replied, "Teacher, do you honestly see me as that kind of problem child? Have I actually done anything wrong?"
"So how come the principal's calling for you so suddenly?"
"Perhaps the principal has a positive motive for meeting me—why not consider the bright side? Is there something off about your pupil?"
"Fine, fine, you'd best pray it's positive news. If more issues crop up, I won't sign off on your absences anymore."
Was such sternness truly necessary?
Chiang Xiao genuinely had no clue why the principal sought her out.
Yet the instant she stepped into the principal's office and spotted Ji Yuzhi present as well, her pulse raced. On reflex, she gave a gentle pull at Liu Guoying's sleeve.
Liu Guoying noticed Ji Yuzhi and recalled Chiang Xiao's earlier words to him.
His face grew grave right away.
"Should something come up afterward that's tough for you to address, simply signal me, and I'll handle the talking." He murmured softly.
Chiang Xiao inquired, "Teacher, this shouldn't qualify as me making trouble, should it?"
Liu Guoying fixed her with a frustrated stare.
In a moment such as this, she was still nitpicking about that detail?
Via the door's glass panel, Chiang Xiao had glimpsed Ji Yuzhi already, yet right before they could swing the door wide, a chill prickled her skin.
All her gut feelings screamed against entering.
Her every nerve screamed warnings: peril, peril, peril within!
Chiang Xiao's fingers neared the doorknob only to pull away in haste.
She hadn't deployed her potent floral aroma yet today!
Still, she sensed the Second Master lurked inside!
"What's the matter?"
Liu Guoying picked up on her unease too.
Chiang Xiao hastily drew him back several paces.
