Kuang Yunxian went to break the lock and change it, but Chiang Xiao didn't go over to watch.
Just then, her grandfather called.
Since she returned from M City last time, this was the first time her grandfather had actively called her. Before, it was always Chiang Xiao calling him. They would exchange a few pleasantries, but they rarely had much to say. Afterward, the conversation would fizzle out.
And he would awkwardly find excuses, saying things like Xue Liujin came over, so it was inconvenient to talk. Or the soup in the pot was boiling, and he needed to watch the stove. Or there were flower seedlings waiting to be planted in the yard, so they'd chat another time.
All sorts of reasons, seemingly an attempt to avoid the topic, afraid she might bring up the matter of adoption.
Chiang Xiao hadn't had a real chance to talk to them.
So, with Chiang Songhai voluntarily calling her this time, a sense of relief surged in Chiang Xiao's heart.
"Grandpa, is everything at home okay?"
