Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1075: Chapter 1076: Gathered Together

Originally, Chiang Xiao had thought about going to eat with Chen Yin and Wang Yi, but after hearing about this, she felt something was wrong, so she had Chen Yin take her to the hospital.

To her surprise, upon arrival at the hospital, she was informed that Meng Chaojun had been discharged that afternoon and had gone home.

Discharged!

Chiang Xiao found the situation absurd. What was he doing going home at this time?

Waiting to die?

Chen Yin then took her to the Alliance District Courtyard.

”Since he’s already been discharged, let’s not visit him for now. Sister-in-law, you should hurry up with your painting,” Chen Yin said.

”Yes, Xiao Chiang, I’m looking forward to your painting,” Wang Yi also waved from the car window.

”Okay.”

Chiang Xiao walked toward the gate of the Alliance District, and the security guard on duty immediately saluted her upon seeing her.

He already recognized Chiang Xiao, and knew that she was Meng Xinian’s fiancée.

Meng Xinian, the squad leader Officer who everyone in the Elite Supervisor Guard was long familiar with and gritted their teeth at the mention of his name.

Upon entering the Meng Family’s house, she found it eerily quiet.

Yet, everyone was there.

Old Meng sat by the phone, Meng Chaojun was lounging on the sofa looking through a stack of documents, while Duan Qingqing tenderly peeled an apple for him.

There was some noise in the kitchen, probably Aunt Guo cooking.

Seeing her arrive, Duan Qingqing actually smiled at her, ”Chiang Xiao is here? Dinner will be ready soon.” She then shouted towards the kitchen, ”Aunt Guo, have you set aside Chiang Xiao’s rice? She’s here.”

Aunt Guo came running out of the kitchen, ”No worries, I’ll whip up some noodles real quick.”

”Thank you. It’s not always certain when we have guests,” Duan Qingqing said.

Chiang Xiao couldn’t be bothered with her.

It was another veiled jibe implying she was an outsider, an unacquainted guest arriving just at mealtime, potentially causing an inconvenience to the host.

But really, was it interesting?

If it were a girl with thin skin and little courage, she might actually be humiliated by such taunts to the point of blushing and losing the nerve to stay.

But what kind of person was Chiang Xiao now?

Her skin was thick indeed, why would she care about Duan Qingqing’s tactics?

She walked straight over to Old Meng.

Meng Chaojun had already tensed up and sat upright when she entered, his eyes still on the documents but his mind anticipating her greeting. Yet Chiang Xiao, as if she hadn’t seen him, directly walked towards Old Meng, making him irritated immediately.

This girl truly had no manners!

”Grandfather, Brother Xinian hasn’t come back?” Chiang Xiao just saw Old Meng hanging up the phone.

Old Meng nodded and sighed.

”Yes, he hasn’t returned. I called the Alliance District, and they only said he went for training. But how could he go for training without calling home first? He must have been assigned an urgent task, so I looked for Officer Yang Zhiqi.”

Old Meng glanced over at Duan Qingqing, then pulled Chiang Xiao aside, lowering his voice, ”Indeed, he’s on a mission, left in a hurry, couldn’t contact anyone, it’s about that phone call he made the other day, he must have left shortly after. Yang Zhiqi couldn’t disclose where he went or when he’ll return.”

That’s how it is with team members, never knowing when a mission might arise. Even if there’s a grave family matter, duty must take precedence.

Chiang Xiao also couldn’t help but sigh.

Who would have thought everything would pile up like this.

”Since Brother Xinian is on a mission, I won’t stay at school. I’ll come over to help after school ends in the afternoon and at noon,” Chiang Xiao glanced over at Meng Chaojun, ”But why is Uncle being discharged now?”
