Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1045: Desperation Strikes the Heart

”Okay, I’ll make the call,” Old Meng immediately headed toward the telephone.

He had absolute faith in Chiang Xiao.

Moreover, Meng Chaojun’s complexion really did look terrible.

”Chaojun, I used to massage you before...” If it weren’t for Chiang Xiao speaking up about finding a doctor first, Duan Qingqing certainly wouldn’t have stopped Meng Chaojun from seeing a doctor, but now that it was Chiang Xiao’s suggestion, she felt compelled to contradict just for the sake of argument. If she really listened to Chiang Xiao, wouldn’t that be a loss of face for her?

Meng Chaojun wanted to comfort her, but a wave of dizziness hit him, and he couldn’t speak for a moment.

At this moment, Duan Qingqing took his arm and tugged, ”I better help you upstairs first. I’ll be gentle. You just relax and sleep, and when you wake up, you’ll feel better.”

With her tugging, Meng Chaojun, already in the throes of dizziness and unable to stand firmly, crashed down towards the ground.

”Chaojun, ah!”

What Meng Chaojun heard was Duan Qingqing’s scream.

But the hand that was supposed to be holding him seemed to let go subconsciously.

He thought he was going to hit the ground hard this time, but within a split second, another pair of strong hands caught him.

As the dizziness passed, he was still weak, but at least his consciousness had somewhat returned.

”Chaojun! Chaojun! How are you feeling? Oh my God!”

Duan Qingqing continued to scream in panic.

”Shut up!” Chiang Xiao, unable to bear it any longer, shouted.

Old Meng had finished the call and walked over quickly, taking hold of Meng Chaojun’s other side, ”What happened?”

”He almost fainted,” Chiang Xiao noticed that nearly all of Meng Chaojun’s weight was pressing down on her, and her heart sank a bit. He was completely limp. ”Grandpa, help him to the sofa to lie down.”

”Okay, okay.”

Old Meng was nervous too.

The two of them practically carried Meng Chaojun to the sofa.

”I’ll go make some of that Nourishing Body Tea you gave me!” Old Meng moved swiftly, rushing into the kitchen.

You should know, he ordinarily drank those Nourishing Body Teas alone, not even sharing them with his own son.

Meng Chaojun lay on the sofa, and Duan Qingqing flung herself over, her voice trembling with sobs, ”Chaojun, Chaojun, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me! Let’s not fight, okay? We don’t have to be upset. Xinian is grown up, he can decide his own marriage matters. Even though he brought home a fiancée without saying a word, it’s not like you know about it should you get so angry!”

Chiang Xiao: ”...”

Was this woman planning to pin the blame for Meng Chaojun almost fainting on her?

Was it because of her that he got upset?

And she deliberately said it while Old Meng was away?

Duan Qingqing also saw Chiang Xiao as a real threat now that she stayed; she hastened to bring it up, hoping to have Chaojun quickly send Chiang Xiao away.

If Chiang Xiao actually stayed overnight, wasn’t there a chance her relationship with Meng Xinian would be officially recognized?

In any case, Chiang Xiao must not be allowed to stay!

The performance Chiang Xiao gave earlier had already set off alarm bells in Duan Qingqing’s heart; this girl was not so easy to deal with! Duan Qingqing would not let someone who could cause her trouble enter the Meng Family!

She stood aside, hands in her pockets, determined to watch this woman’s act unfold.

Although Meng Chaojun was conscious at this point, he still felt waves of dizziness and a splitting headache, rendering him speechless.

The doctor also lived in the same courtyard and quickly arrived with his medical kit.

Old Meng was still brewing the Nourishing Body Tea when he came.

”Doctor Lu, please come have a look at our Old Meng; I think he is suffering from extreme agitation!” Duan Qingqing promptly stepped aside, while also casting a meaningful glance at Chiang Xiao.
