Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 864: Chapter 865 Marrying a Handsome Man

Meng Xinian looked at her and said, ”Moreover, Little, if it weren’t for you, I would have competed with my injury, and I promise you, even with my injury, I wouldn’t lose. It’s just that I can’t guarantee how much this leg would be affected after the match.”

Fainting. So his original plan was to compete at all costs, determined to win over the Elite Supervisor Guard?

Doing so, his injured leg might relapse, and the consequences would be unimaginable!

It was at this moment that Chiang Xiao understood just how resolute his determination to compete for the Elite Supervisor Guard was.

What Meng Xinian didn’t say was that, aside from the reasons Old Meng had mentioned before, there was another point—he wanted to climb up the ranks. In the past, he thought all that was inconsequential, but now he felt it was his responsibility to Chiang Xiao’s future. If he remained a small captain for five years, ten years, or even twenty years, why would Chiang Xiao bother sticking with him?

She could paint and heal, create special cups, and make delicious pastries; she would always progress, so how could he stand still?

In the future, he would despise himself for that.

Chiang Xiao bit her lower lip, and Meng Xinian immediately said, ”Go ahead and heal it, but if you’re still hesitant about the leg, then start with the face. My Little is so pretty—she can’t marry a disfigured monster in the future; she needs to marry a handsome man.”

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh out loud at his teasing.

This guy’s skin was truly thick!

He meant to say that as long as his face was free of scars, he would be a handsome man!

However, since she had already put it out there, not healing him now would mean she had spoken in vain, wouldn’t it?

Chiang Xiao felt like she was truly gambling again, betting on whether Meng Xinian was worth exposing these secrets for.

Every night, she would crush the medicinal herbs grown in her Space and mix them with Spiritual Spring Water to apply on him, then let him drink a small cup of Spiritual Spring Water. Of course, she mixed the Spiritual Spring Water with floral tea for him to drink.

It was only then that Meng Xinian discovered the floral teas they drank during the day also contained hidden secrets.

Thinking about this, he was glad he had made the prompt decision to have his grandfather move in with them. After all, it was more important to recuperate here first. If, in the future, he still couldn’t come to terms with returning to the old house and facing those other two glaring eyes, then there was nothing he could do.

Meng Chaojun called the next afternoon and, as soon as Meng Xinian picked up the phone, he was scolded terribly. Meng Chaojun was convinced that it was Meng Xinian who had urged Old Meng to run away from home just before the New Year, complaining that this would make Duan Qingqing, the daughter-in-law, look bad in the eyes of others. People who didn’t know the situation might even think that Old Meng was driven away by his daughter-in-law.

Meng Chaojun also said that he had bought a train ticket for Old Meng and demanded he return to the Capital City immediately.

Meng Xinian simply hung up the phone.

Old Meng, however, kept a stern face and didn’t speak for most of the day.

This was his so-called good son! He didn’t even ask how his own father’s health was doing but was only concerned about Duan Qingqing’s reputation!

That only firmed his determination to stay here for the New Year.

Since the house had just been renovated, it was still very tidy everywhere, so they didn’t need to do any major cleaning on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

The days simply passed by with them eating and drinking.

During this time, one of the things Chiang Xiao did was to travel to the other end of the city and find a wilderness to release Zhang Xiaomei and her daughter, who she had been keeping in the Space.

How they would return to the city was not her concern.

She hadn’t forgotten the things Zhang Xiaomei intended to do to her previously. It was indeed necessary to teach such a venomous-hearted woman a lesson.

On New Year’s Eve, they had a lively dinner together, and then Chiang Xiao went around collecting red envelopes.
