Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2395: Chapter 2331: Your Lousy Painting

She really went to investigate her thoroughly.

I bet he found out everything about her from birth till now in meticulous detail.

Chiang Xiao felt a bit miserable, unsure how many groups had been investigating her. She initially thought she was just an ordinary person with nothing to be checked, but it seemed now that countless people were secretly watching her.

This person may have initially got involved because of Tyrant Meng, but it was clear he was now targeting her directly.

She had a feeling this person was much more interested in her than in Tyrant Meng.

To Tyrant Meng, he seemed intent on elimination, but towards her, he was more about investigation, with no intent of killing so far.

But who knows what would happen if he really found something?

Hu Xiangyong kept watching Chiang Xiao.

So far, her performance hadn’t been suspicious; every reaction seemed within reason.

Especially when she heard he approached her because of "Welcoming Pine," she showed surprise with a hint of pride in her eyes.

It was like the pride of hearing that a beloved artwork of hers was recognized.

This was normal.

He paused in his heart.

Could it be that this girl really had no problem?

However, his intuition had been telling him otherwise.

Otherwise, she was just too good at acting and pretending.

If that’s the case, he was interested in playing along, to see how long her act could last.

"I think so too, hehe." Chiang Xiao covered her mouth and laughed, saying to Liu Guoying: "Uncle Lee also told me that, saying my painting brought them fortune."

As soon as she finished, Liu Guoying’s face darkened, and he scolded her: "Nonsense! Who do you think you are? Can your silly painting bring fortune? Can’t you have some sense? If this spreads, do you think it’s a good thing? Every businessman would come begging you for a painting, can you assure that each of them would make a fortune? If not, aren’t you afraid of being cursed?"

He seemed to give Chiang Xiao no face, coldly scolding her until she lowered her head silently.

Watching her like this, even Ji Yuzhi felt some sympathy, unable to stand it.

Chiang Xiao was a well-known painter after all, did she still have to be berated by her teacher like this?

She quickly said, "Teacher Liu, maybe Chiang Xiao was just happy for Uncle Lee, and besides..."

"Why should she be happy?" Liu Guoying continued his reprimand: "The man was running his business with great effort. He spent money, effort, and thought on earning money. Yet she’s taking the credit for herself; what a nerve!"

"Teacher, I know I was wrong, alright," Chiang Xiao said gloomily.

"Alright, Teacher Liu, Chiang Xiao just said it casually, and no matter what, her good painting skills are undoubted." The principal quickly stepped in to mediate.

This straightforwardness was just Liu Guoying’s temper.

Honestly, in front of outsiders, he really didn’t spare any face for Chiang Xiao.

He felt a bit awkward.

Hu Xiangyong remained silent with a neutral expression, just watching Liu Guoying and Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao proactively said to him: "Mr. Hu, if you’re asking me to paint, I can do that, but I can’t guarantee that hanging my painting in your place will make your business better."

"Of course," Hu Xiangyong replied, "Naturally, it’s not possible to ask Xiao Chiang to create some magical painting. However..."

He paused, smiling at Chiang Xiao.
