Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1143: Chapter 1144: Distressed

”It’s my elder brother, my elder brother he...” Duan Qingqing started to stammer.

”If you have something to say, then say it, if not, then don’t!” Meng Chaojun could hardly bear it.

He was already suffering from a splitting headache, barely holding on, and yet he had to listen to her stammering, which was truly irritating.

He even felt an impulse to push Duan Qingqing away with one hand, telling her to get lost.

But the moment he realized he had such thoughts, he also felt he was being excessive, and kept restraining himself, suppressing the urge.

”My elder brother kept a woman outside, and that woman had a child. Now she is causing trouble at home, insisting on having the child be acknowledged by the family!”

”What are you talking about?”

Old Meng and Meng Chaojun asked in shock at the same time.

Duan Feian seemed like such an honest person! Usually, he did everything Kuang Hong said, whose position was even higher than his, he would go east but never west if she asked, he would chase a dog but never a chicken if she commanded.

Such a man, daring to keep a mistress outside and even having her bear his child?

”Really, I didn’t believe it myself, but today my sister-in-law called me over. I saw that woman, holding a baby only two months old, and that baby obviously looks so much like my elder brother.....”

Duan Qingqing appeared to be completely at a loss, ”That woman insisted on having the child acknowledged by the family, otherwise, she’d sit outside our house with the baby every day. My sister-in-law is so angry that she’s smashing things at home and even wants to slash that woman and child with a knife. With the house in such turmoil, I’m worried my brother won’t be able to help running over here for refuge! Chaojun, you must think of something quickly.”

Meng Chaojun was about to speak when the phone began to ring.

Old Meng went over to answer the phone. After hearing just a few words, he suddenly slumped into the chair, drained of strength.

”Dad? Who’s on the phone? What happened?”

Meng Chaojun’s temples throbbed violently, he had a bad feeling about this.

”Baoyuan has been arrested, he’s accused of hitting and killing someone with his car last year, the Public Security Officers just traced it back to him...”

Meng Baoyuan was Meng Qingshan’s cherished grandson, now he and Zhang Junyuan seemed to be in trouble one after another...

But, usually, he really thought they were both sensible and obedient, so how could all these problems suddenly arise out of nowhere?

Duan Qingqing’s mouth fell open, and she suddenly stood up, saying, ”Could this all be Xinian’s doing? He said it before! He said he would take us down one by one!”

As soon as these words were spoken, both Old Meng and Meng Chaojun were shocked.

Meng Chaojun was forced to take sick leave and was stripped of his power.

Meng Wenxing got into trouble, the Zhang family’s business suffered, Zhang Junyuan was in trouble, Duan Feian and Kuang Hong caused such a scandal, and their family would probably be in disarray as well.

Now, Meng Baoyuan was in trouble too.

Everything seemed to have blown up all of a sudden.

It was like a surge of high tide.

Everything was fine before.

How could things turn out like this in just a few days?

Recalling the words Meng Xinian had said to them before, both Old Meng and Meng Chaojun felt a chill run through their hearts.

”Where’s Xinian?” Old Meng glanced at the stairs.

”Aren’t they both leaving early and returning late these days? They clearly don’t want to see us!” Duan Qingqing grumbled with a pout.

In the morning, they were gone before everyone else woke up.

At night, they only returned after everyone had gone to sleep.

No one knew what they could possibly be doing outside all day long! What exactly were they up to!

No, they must have been busy with these matters!

Duan Qingqing gritted her teeth and said, ”It must be Xinian behind all these issues! Is he trying to make life impossible for us?”
