Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1142: Chapter 1143: Forced to Take Sick Leave

Chiang Xiao just followed his advice.

Over the next few days, she left early and returned late each day, focused solely on attending school, taking exams, and painting, paying no attention to the affairs of the Meng Family.

It wasn’t three days before she heard that Meng Chaojun was cared for by the Aristocratic Family Alliance and was given leave to recover from his illness. The official business he was handling, already more than halfway completed, was forcibly transferred to others, making it obvious to any discerning eye that he had been stripped of his powers.

As for Meng Wenxing, not only was he unable to take over his position and work, but he was also reported for taking advantage of his position to pave the way for his brother-in-law’s business dealings.

Suddenly, he too was suspended and subject to the inspection of the Aristocratic Family Alliance.

The Zhang Family also became entangled in this matter, with their business greatly affected and chaotic to the extreme.

Zhang Junyuan went to the horse track to ride, and for some unknown reason, the horse went mad, throwing him off uncontrollably. While the investigation wasn’t difficult, the Zhang Family regretted finding out the truth, wishing they hadn’t investigated at all!

It turned out that two years ago, Zhang Junyuan had encountered a beautiful young girl at the horse track and had teased her. At that time, he indeed took an interest in the young girl, but upon learning that she was just playing with relatives and that her family was actually poor, he quickly lost interest.

However, the young girl had truly fallen for him, waiting for him to ask for her hand in marriage from her family, ultimately becoming ill from the prolonged wait.

The young girl’s brother, after learning of this, confronted Zhang Junyuan to see if he remembered his sister. With Zhang Junyuan’s heart full of Chiang Xiao, he naturally denied it, claiming it was just a joke and that they should not take it seriously.

The young girl’s brother couldn’t contain his anger and seized the opportunity to sabotage the horse, leading to Zhang Junyuan’s accident.

But was the Zhang Family in a position to make a fuss about this at that time?

The man was not afraid of causing a stir, and with both the Meng and Zhang Families already in chaos, how could they dare cause more trouble?

Yet, without them causing a fuss, their adversary became even more insistent, demanding that Zhang Junyuan take responsibility for his sister and marry the young girl.

The issue ultimately reached Meng Qingshan, causing him shame in front of relatives, friends, and neighbors.

Zhang Junyuan also lay in the hospital, injured.

The problems found with Meng Wenxing’s conduct continued to grow, and subsequently, it was revealed that Meng Chaojun had also accepted gifts from others.

Meng Wenxing and Meng Chaojun were once again subjected to questioning and scrutiny.

Meng Chaojun was convalescing at home but was visited daily by people inquiring about a plethora of issues.

”Chaojun, it’s all over, what do we do? My elder brother and sister-in-law are in trouble!”

That day, just after the inspectors left, Duan Qingqing came rushing in, her face filled with panic as she grabbed Meng Chaojun’s hand and shook it, ”What do we do? The people from my sister-in-law’s family have come to our house causing trouble, and they’ve made my mother faint from anger!”

Meng Chaojun had just barely managed to deal with the people asking questions, feeling intermittent headaches, and the shaking and calling from her made him feel like he was going to pass out or throw up.

Old Meng entered and immediately scolded upon seeing this, ”Duan Qingqing! You’re shaking Chaojun again! Can’t you see he’s suffering?”

Duan Qingqing, as if she hadn’t heard him, at least stopped shaking him.

”Chaojun, you have to help with this, otherwise my brother’s family will fall apart! With this situation unfolding, my father is too ashamed to face anyone!”

”What exactly has happened?”

After all, it was his father-in-law’s family, so if something serious really did happen, it could potentially affect him, prompting Meng Chaojun to ask patiently.
