Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1102: Chapter 1103: Can Take Credit

If Chen Baoshen’s diagnosis results today were not good, Meng Chaojun didn’t know whether he could keep it together.

”Little has returned, go wash your hands, Aunt Guo left some delicious food for you,” Old Meng told Chiang Xiao.

”Okay,” Chiang Xiao responded, heading into the kitchen.

After Aunt Guo prepared the meal, she had left for the day.

In Old Meng’s opinion, although he couldn’t keep Chen Baoshen’s visit a secret, the fewer people who heard what he said at home, the better.

He trusted Aunt Guo, but he was worried that she might not know how to lie when asked questions and might let something slip.

And Meng Baoyuan, one could say, was there to listen in on behalf of the Meng Family members.

They couldn’t have the whole family descend on the Meng residence all at once, as that would arouse suspicion outside. If Meng Chaojun’s illness wasn’t serious, why would they all of a sudden visit when they normally didn’t check on him?

Therefore, sending the younger Meng Baoyuan was more convenient. It could be said that Old Meng found the house too quiet and wanted a grand-nephew to keep him company.

Just as Chiang Xiao had entered the kitchen, Chen Baoshen arrived.

”Doctor Chen, thank you for coming, please have a seat, have a seat,” Duan Qingqing was the first to stand up, walking over and attempting to assist Chen Baoshen.

Chen Baoshen avoided her help.

”Madam Meng, no need to be so courteous, I’m not that old that I need assistance, haha.”

Although Chen Baoshen laughed as he spoke, Duan Qingqing felt a bit embarrassed and immediately turned around, ”Please take a seat then, I will boil water for the tea.”

”Please take a seat, Doctor Chen,” Old Meng and Meng Chaojun also hurriedly invited Chen Baoshen to sit down.

Chen Baoshen was a doctor of national treasure status.

Moreover, with his relationship with Li Hanzhong, no one dared to underestimate him.

They didn’t even have time to ingratiate themselves with him.

With high medical skill and supreme connections, Doctor Chen could indeed be called a winner in life.

”Doctor Chen, I heard you also enjoy drinking tea? I wonder if you’ve ever tried Ye Guangqu tea?” Duan Qingqing brought out her jar of Ye Guangqu once again.

Meng Chaojun’s face changed slightly at the sight.

That tea...

Someone had given it to him before, but the favor they requested in return was impossible. He had also always remembered his father’s words—the higher one’s position, the greater one’s authority, the more one must be upright and just.

So he hadn’t accepted the jar of tea.

How did Duan Qingqing come to possess it?

Thinking of the tea’s possible origins, Meng Chaojun’s chest tightened in waves.

But in front of others, he couldn’t say it outright and could only glance at Duan Qingqing.

Duan Qingqing didn’t notice his look.

She had heard that Chen Baoshen liked tea and thought to serve him the very best. If afterward, Chen Baoshen were to treat Meng Chaojun wholeheartedly, she could take credit, saying it was because of the tea she offered that won over Chen Baoshen.

It would be her achievement.

After sitting down, however, Chen Baoshen looked around and merely replied perfunctorily to Duan Qingqing, not having tried it, then turned to Old Meng, ”Where’s Xiao Chiang, that girl?”

At this question, the others were stunned.

Why was he looking for Chiang Xiao as soon as he arrived?

Old Meng knew that the old and the young had previously been deep in conversation and hurriedly called out towards the kitchen.

”Little, come out, Doctor Chen is here!”

Chiang Xiao had just sneaked into the Space to drink the Spiritual Spring Water and find a painting to bring up, so she didn’t hear the living room commotion until Old Meng shouted.

She immediately ran out from the kitchen.

”Doctor Chen!”

”Hey, Xiao Chiang, how can you be the host? A guest arrives and you don’t come out to make tea?” Chen Baoshen’s face broke into a smile upon seeing her.
