Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2390: Chapter 2326: Must Not Give Yourself Away

"Teacher, I think that Mr. Hu is inside! He’s very likely here for me. I can’t go in now. After you go in, just say I have a bit of a stomachache and will come by later!"

"What? Did you see him?"

"What if I say I sensed it, would you believe me?"

"You girl, don’t joke about such things."

"I’m not joking." Chiang Xiao said, a little worried, "Teacher, when dealing with that man, be a bit careful. If there’s no other way and he asks you something, just answer truthfully. Don’t try too hard to cover it up, because I’m afraid he might catch on and it might be bad for you."

"What are you babbling about?" Liu Guoying was annoyed, "Do you think I’m afraid of this?"

"This is the most correct approach. It’s not about fear. Really, do as I say."

"Alright, alright, do you really think I can’t handle this?" Liu Guoying waved his hand.

He truly didn’t believe that just by talking, he would be unable to handle it. It wasn’t as if he had to fight them—if it came to fighting, she’d definitely be out of her depth.

Chiang Xiao watched him enter the room, still feeling a vague sense of worry.

However, she thought perhaps that person was coming for her, likely to verify something?

Mainly, she couldn’t let herself be exposed.

Chiang Xiao immediately went to the bathroom, slipped into Space, sprayed herself with a homemade perfume to mask her scent, and stuffed a packet of dried flowers in her pocket.

Unsure of what the other person wanted, she had to make some effort anyway.

Meanwhile, Liu Guoying pushed the door open and saw a man sitting on the other side.

Dressed in a suit, his hair slicked back, beard neatly trimmed, and wearing silver-rimmed glasses, he looked quite distinguished.

Yet, the impression he gave was strange; all the visible features, like the glasses, beard, and slicked hair, stood out. But if you took off the glasses, shaved the beard, and messed up the hair, you couldn’t envision his appearance at all.

Thus, all these features might actually mean no features.

He hadn’t expected Chiang Xiao to be so perceptive, sensing this man’s presence without even seeing him.

Still, he only felt that the man gave an indescribable feeling, not actually dangerous.

That said, Liu Guoying somewhat trusted his student. If Chiang Xiao said he was dangerous, then he surely was.

Not sensing it himself was merely because his ability to perceive danger wasn’t as strong.

"Teacher Liu’s here." The principal glanced at the door, "Hmm, didn’t Chiang Xiao come?"

"Her?" Liu Guoying smiled wryly, "Don’t mention it, she said she ate something bad, a bit of a stomach issue, she’ll come by later."

The principal laughed heartily.

"Young people these days love snacks. They’re much better off than back in our day, when there weren’t any good snacks to eat."

"That’s true." Liu Guoying said, glancing at the man, "Principal, since you have a guest, why did you call Chiang Xiao over? Should I ask her to come later?"

"No, no, Mr. Hu’s here specifically to see Chiang Xiao. Let me introduce you: this is Mr. Hu Xiangyong, who’s in the fashion business. He’s involved in various overseas ventures and has broad interests. He’s now back in the country to work on high-end custom clothing, like suits, cheongsams, and in jewelry and jade stone as well."
