Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1099: Chapter 1100: What Solutions Are There

Chiang Xiao’s lips curved into a smirk.

”Let me tell you something,” her voice was cool, ”Brother Xinian has never depended on anyone from the Meng Family since he was young, and he certainly won’t need to in the future. So, do you think the people of the Meng Family can influence him? If you have a good relationship with those relatives of the Meng Family, you might as well tell them that if they kick Brother Xinian while he’s down now, they shouldn’t resent him for ignoring them later.”

After speaking, she walked past Duan Qingqing, bumping her shoulder against Duan Qingqing’s.

Duan Qingqing couldn’t stay on her feet and fell on her butt.

”Chiang Xiao!” she screamed in anger.

Chiang Xiao had already ascended the stairs, but hearing the scream, she turned back to smile at her, saying, ”Also, instead of advising others to have children, it would be better for you to have one first, otherwise...”

Whatever the ”otherwise” implied, she did not elaborate.

In his room, Old Meng had actually heard some of the commotion outside, but he chose not to go out.

He believed Chiang Xiao would definitely not come out worse in a confrontation with Duan Qingqing. But what had Duan Qingqing said to Chiang Xiao this time?

She must be determined to tear this family apart to be satisfied.

Old Meng thought about what Meng Baoyuan had said and let out a heavy sigh.

Xinian and Chiang Xiao’s future situation was still tough, what could be done about it?

The next morning, Chiang Xiao left a potion for Meng Chaojun and was about to leave when Old Meng, who was practicing his boxing in the courtyard, quickly called out to her.

”Little, where are you off to? Are you going to school?”

”No, I took half a day off today; my teacher has arrived, so I need to accompany him to the Art Academy. We have an appointment with the director.”

”Is it the teacher who teaches you painting?”

”Yes.”

”Then can you return by ten-thirty? You’ve forgotten that Doctor Chen is coming to our house today.”

Old Meng always felt somewhat more at ease knowing that Chiang Xiao would be home when Doctor Chen came to treat Meng Chaojun.

Chiang Xiao nodded and said, ”I remember, I haven’t forgotten. I’ll be back on time.”

Only then did Old Meng breathe a sigh of relief.

Chiang Xiao stepped out of the house, exhaling softly.

She felt like she was beginning to be overwhelmed with busyness.

It would have been great if Tyrant Meng were here at this time; some responsibilities were his to bear after all. But since he wasn’t, she would shoulder them on his behalf—who could blame her for being fond of him?

As for the delicious food handcrafted by her teacher’s wife, she hadn’t brought any of it to the Meng Family’s home.

She wouldn’t let Meng Chaojun and Duan Qingqing eat them; they simply weren’t worthy of such things, which her teacher’s wife had made until her fingers blistered.

She would eat them herself.

Liu Guoying was surprised to learn that Director Jin of the Capital Art Academy wanted to meet him and took a long while to recover his composure.

”How does he have my paintings? Wait, you brought my paintings with you to the Capital?” Liu Guoying asked in astonishment.

Chiang Xiao sweated, shamelessly and sycophantically replied, ”Of course! I have to carry the masterpieces of my teacher with me at all times! I planned to visit the painting exhibition during the day and look at the teacher’s masterpieces at night, to see where the gap lies between them and the teacher’s work!”

Liu Guoying couldn’t stand it anymore and tapped her on the head with a flick of his finger.

”Be serious!”

”Yes, sir!” Chiang Xiao immediately snapped to attention, saluting solemnly, ”Comrade Liu Guoying, if you delay any further, Director Jin will think you’re someone who doesn’t keep their word!”

Cheng Qiulian watched the two of them, shaking her head with a chuckling smile.
