Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1155: Chapter 1156: Everything is Suspicious

But Meng Chaojun did not ask any more questions, nor did he say anything else.

Duan Qingqing had thought he would inquire about how the child was dealt with, but he did not.

She took a shower, changed into her pajamas, lifted the covers, and gently laid down beside him, her back turned to him, silently letting out a sigh of relief.

What she did not know was that when she turned off the bedside lamp, Meng Chaojun had opened his eyes again.

In the past, as soon as Duan Qingqing got into bed she would lean towards him, tenderly nestling into his arms. It was because of this that he saw her as a delicate woman, capable of arousing his protective instincts and pity.

These past few days, as he was not well, she had been restless, incessantly snuggling up to him as soon as they went to bed.

How could he not be aware of her longing?

Yet tonight, after she got into bed, she not only didn’t touch him but also turned her back to him. After lying down, she was very quiet and did not toss and turn.

There was also something else, when she had just come back, he detected a faint scent of soap.

He had never smelled this scent on her before.

Meng Chaojun was also somewhat puzzled. Previously, his sense of smell had not been so good. Why could he detect even such a faint smell of soap this time?

And he did not understand why, after returning home with the child to her mother’s house, Duan Qingqing needed to take a bath?

If it was because the child had soiled her clothes, he hadn’t noticed; her outfit was still the same one from before. There were clothes for her to change into at her family’s house, so if her clothes had indeed been dirty, she could have easily changed.

Meng Chaojun felt waves of coldness in his heart and ultimately did not know how he managed to fall asleep.

That day, he ultimately did not get to drink the Potion that Chiang Xiao was supposed to cook for him.

That night, Meng Donghai also did not know how he eventually fell asleep.

The degree of Meng Xinian’s heartlessness caused him much sorrow and loss. This time, this grandson he had always worried about was directly collapsing all of their houses, and they were utterly powerless to retaliate.

But whom could they blame for this?

Just as Meng Xinian had said, were they to blame him?

What did their actions have to do with him?

One could only say that Meng Xinian saw things more clearly than he did, having long known the extent of the corruption among the Meng, Duan, and Zhang families, which is why he had been preparing early on and had been gathering this information for years.

He was both shocked and saddened by his eldest grandson’s behavior.

It turned out that the family power he cherished and wanted to solidify meant nothing to Meng Xinian. Not only did he not want it, but he also wanted to destroy it.

But, could he say that what Meng Xinian was doing was wrong?

They were the ones who first made a move against Chiang Xiao.

They were the ones who first hurt Meng Xinian.

He knew well how much he valued Chiang Xiao, how much he liked her, and Meng Chaojun probably knew too.

But knowing this, they still planned to tear Chiang Xiao from his side, not allowing him to marry her and not willing to let her go; that’s why they thought of arranging her to be with Zhang Junyuan.

Looking back, how shameless a move that was!

No wonder Chiang Xiao stopped caring about them, knowing that Meng Chaojun suffered splitting headaches and needed her Potion, yet she could ignore it completely.

She is a person, a very intelligent girl, not an object to be arranged at their discretion. How could she feel comfortable with that?

It was said that Chiang Xiao was extremely proud.

Her previous tolerance, without anger or complaint, must have been very hard on her already.

If Meng Chaojun were not Xinian’s father, she certainly would not have let him off.

But, to think that they would give the Meng family ancestral home to Chiang Xiao, this was too shocking for him.

This was the ancestral home.

Though the house was currently in his name and he had full authority to deal with it, would his elder brother’s family be willing to let him transfer the ancestral home out?

Even if Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao were married and legally husband and wife, they would definitely not agree to it—let alone the fact that they were not yet married now.

The world is unpredictable; their feelings are good now, but who knows about the future?

Just like Meng Chaojun and Mother Xinian, didn’t they start out with a great relationship too?

But what about later?

What if they separated in the future. Wouldn’t the Meng family lose the ancestral home to someone else?

If word got out, he would have no face left to meet his ancestors.

Old Meng kept pondering these thoughts, writhing with conflict, pain, regret, sorrow, and helplessness, and eventually did not know when he fell asleep.

The next day, he was awakened by the sound of an ambulance.

He sat up from the bed in an instant, hurriedly ran out without even taking the time to put on a coat.

”What’s happened, what’s happened?”

Meng Xinian had just carried Meng Chaojun down.

Duan Qingqing, with tears in her eyes, followed beside them.

”Chao Jun has been complaining of a headache since the early hours and has been holding on, but in the morning, he couldn’t bear it any longer and passed out!”
