Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 119: Chapter 119 It’s like a decisive separation

Chiang Xiao took the money and called out to Zhao Xin, ”Xinzi, let’s go.”

”Sister-in-law, we bought some flour, let’s make noodles to eat tomorrow!” Zhao Xin said excitedly.

The third target extended her hand to stop the two of them.

”You can’t go out.” Her voice carried a hint of coldness.

Zhao Xin glared at her, ”Why is big sister being so nosy? Do we have to report to you when we want to go out?”

”I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before, but I am actually Chu Liang’s significant other.” The third target flipped her loose hair and lifted the corners of her lips, ”We’ve even talked about getting married. I’ll be the lady of the house here in the future. Do you think I have the right to intervene?”

The three immediately showed a surprised expression.

”Brother, Sister-in-law, have you heard Cousin Brother talk about this?” Zhao Xin looked at Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao.

Previously, he awkwardly addressed her as Sister-in-law and did not mention it in front of Meng Xinian; Chiang Xiao already felt uncomfortable, let alone now directly addressing her and him together in front of Meng Xinian, that feeling...

”It’s normal that you haven’t heard about it. I asked Chu Liang not to tell you,” the third target said.

”Even if you’re my cousin sister-in-law, you can’t control where we want to go!”

”I’m only thinking of your best interests. You came from Hujiakou to this place, unfamiliar with the area, right? If something happens while you’re out, that would be terrible. Don’t I need to look after you?”

Zhao Xin scratched the back of his head, seeming to think there was some sense in her words, ”How could it be so easy for something to happen? We’re just going to buy some things in town, not doing anything else.”

”It’s getting late today, and there’s still dinner to be had. Let’s go tomorrow instead.”

As long as he could keep them contained today, they might be gone by tomorrow.

Meng Xinian glanced at her, knowing that tomorrow would indeed be dangerous, especially since the Supervisor’s Wife and Chu Liang were both in a very bad state; they couldn’t afford to delay any longer.

”Xinzi may not go, but Little needs to go out for a bit. Liangzi needs a change of bandages tonight; his wound has started to bleed through. We came here to take care of Liangzi; how can we ignore his injury?” He insisted firmly, ”If the big younger sister doesn’t feel assured about letting my wife go, then I would hate to bother you to make a run for it and buy a roll of bandage.”

If they were not allowed to leave, then she would go out herself.

That way, she couldn’t say she wasn’t confident in them, could she?

But how could the third target dare to show herself leaving the house?

She hesitated, looking at Chiang Xiao with a bit of helplessness, ”Then sister-in-law, you go. I don’t feel at ease leaving the house.”

Chiang Xiao’s heartbeat quickened.

Tyrant Meng said he would let her go, and truly, he was letting her go.

”But you must come back early,” the third target’s gaze shifted between her and Meng Xinian, smiling with a wicked air, ”Otherwise, your man might get restless.”

”Little, you go,” Meng Xinian said to Chiang Xiao.

So that’s how Chiang Xiao left the house. The moment her foot crossed the threshold, she couldn’t help but look back, seeing Meng Xinian and Zhao Xin standing in the courtyard, watching her leave.

At that moment, Meng Xinian was still disguised as a simple, unsophisticated man in his thirties, with a slouched back and a face of woe. Yet, in Chiang Xiao’s mind, an image surfaced of him in the alley she had seen before.

The young Captain of the Supervisor Guard stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with eyes sharp as a sword.

The door shut behind her again.

The sound resonated against her heart.

Why did she feel a sense of finality?

If she didn’t return, what would happen to him and Zhao Xin? Those people would surely get suspicious.

But at this moment, Chiang Xiao dared not waste any time, and after walking a normal distance, she immediately started running towards the teahouse.

Hu Xibing had been sitting by the door of the teahouse all along. Seeing the young girl running wildly towards him, he could no longer contain himself and suddenly stood up.
