Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 520: Chapter 521: It Really Works (for Jingxin Moshang +1)

Actually, it’s quite normal. During this time when they had been living with Chiang Xiao, they witnessed that anyone from the Old Chiang Family who came to cause trouble couldn’t get the better of her. Seeing Chiang Xiao not endure any grievances and directly rebutting everything, they were somewhat influenced.

So, this time she decided to voice her grievances.

Before anyone else could speak, she continued crying, ”Ge Dejun, tell me, since I married into the Ge Family, in what way have I not done well, in what matter have I not followed mother’s wishes? Over these years, I’ve swallowed so much bitterness alone, but I didn’t speak out—surely you could see it for yourself, couldn’t you? You always tell me to just endure, that she’s our mother, and to let things go in one ear and out the other, but many things simply can’t be handled that way. Don’t you understand?”

The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, and her voice grew louder. Chiang Xiao suddenly thought of the Calming Talisman Figure she had just drawn and quietly slipped the folded piece of paper into the collar of her shirt.

”I just can’t endure today’s incident. You clearly know this is like gouging out my heart; still you want me to swallow my anger and even apologize to that person. I have seen through you now, Ge Dejun—we might as well...”

Just call it quits.

She hadn’t finished that last half sentence when she suddenly saw Ge Dejun holding his head in his hands, squatting down beside her, utterly defeated and in distress. She just couldn’t bring herself to finish the sentence.

After all, he was the man she had spent half her life with.

Wasn’t she aware of the bitterness in his heart?

Moreover, he had indeed faced great pressure to move over here with her this time. It was not easy for him.

All of a sudden, these feelings flooded her heart like water, and Liu Pei began to feel compassion for him.

He was already feeling miserable and here she was, making a scene. Who knew if he would be able to sleep that night.

In that moment, all her anger washed away completely.

Then looking around at the silent crowd witnessing her outburst, Liu Pei felt a bit embarrassed. She quickly raised her arm and wiped away her tears with her sleeve, softening her tone, ”I, I may have been too harsh. Your father, you, don’t be too upset; I just couldn’t adjust all at once.”

Everyone was stunned and speechless.

Just a second ago, she had been ablaze with anger and painfully aggrieved. Judging by the emotion in her voice, they would have thought De Jun would have to reluctantly return to the Ge Family that night. But in the blink of an eye, she seemed like a completely different person?

The only one who understood this sudden change was Chiang Xiao.

But she was as shocked as they were, equally dumbfounded, and hence not at all suspicious.

It really was!

It was the effect of the Calming Talisman Figure!

Liu Pei’s change was too rapid. Chiang Xiao had been paying close attention, and with Liu Pei’s previous emotional state, such a change was improbable.

And such a change occurred just after Chiang Xiao had discreetly slipped the Calming Talisman Figure into the collar of Liu Pei’s shirt.

Thus, the Calming Talisman Figure truly had an effect—and its impact was swift!

Chiang Xiao felt like she had discovered another treasure!

This was another treasure gifted to her by the Space!

And it wasn’t just one Talisman Diagram! A whole book of diagrams, completely different, various kinds!

The Calming Talisman Figure was just a basic diagram and it already had such an effect—what about the intermediate ones? The advanced ones? It seemed there were even a few top-level diagrams towards the end!
