Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1223: Chapter 1224: Feelings Changed

”But,” she said, ”I still think Chiang Xiao’s background is a problem. Have you forgotten what your uncle said before? Chaojun, you’re much better now, your head hasn’t been hurting for a long time. I think you should be able to recover and you’ll have to go back to your position eventually. Those influences...”

Before she could finish, Meng Chaojun had already given her a cold glance and said, ”Aren’t you going out to play cards today?”

During this period, Duan Qingqing had been going out almost every day, telling him that she had arranged to play cards with a few friends, and would not come back until very late each night.

Every time she returned, Meng Chaojun could smell that soapy scent.

He didn’t know what he was thinking right now, but every time he saw Duan Qingqing by his side, he always felt her gentle smile seemed fake, which made him uncomfortable.

In the past, he clearly thought he liked her gentleness.

”I don’t want to go out today. I’ve been staying home with you these past few days. Shall I peel a pear for you?” Duan Qingqing said as she stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Meng Chaojun frowned, stood up, and walked into the study. He picked up the phone.

”It’s me. Check Gu Xin’s schedule for today and the next few days.”

After hanging up the call, he walked back to the living room.

Old Meng glanced at him and said, ”I’ve looked at a date in February and think it’s not bad, but it’s in early February. I’m not sure if Little and her family will think it’s too sudden.”

Getting married as soon as she turns eighteen, on the first of February?

What if they don’t agree?

Meng Chaojun said, ”The first of February, I see nothing wrong with it. Dad, if you’re fine with it, you might call her grandparents to discuss in the next few days. We can start preparing for the marriage now. A year and a half’s time should be enough to prepare without any rush.”

”I think I’ll call Xinian first to discuss, he has to agree, too.”

Duan Qingqing brought out a plate of peeled pears and, hearing their conversation, couldn’t help but clench her teeth.

It looked like they were set on having Chiang Xiao marry into the family.

It could drive her mad.

Meng Qingshan and his family turned out to be useless, complete trash, taken down by a few maneuvers from Meng Xinian, and now they didn’t even dare to make a peep; utterly worthless!

If Chiang Xiao really married into the family, would there be a place for her?

No, she couldn’t let all of this fall into the hands of Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao!

”Dad, Chaojun, have some pears.”

Duan Qingqing placed the plate of pears on the coffee table.

Looking at the plate of pears, a cunning idea suddenly flashed through her eyes.

Shortly after, the phone rang. Duan Qingqing was about to get up to answer it when Meng Chaojun stood up before her and swiftly went to pick up the phone.

Duan Qingqing felt somewhat disdainful in her heart.

Such eagerness, surely he thought it was a call from work? Waiting to return to his position?

How naive.

With his condition, how could it be so easy to return to his former post?

It was his own son who had brought him down, and yet he didn’t confront Meng Chaojun!

It seemed he really indulged his son.

If she could also produce a son for the Meng Family, would her status go up as well?

Meng Donghai, that old fool, seeing his grandchild’s face, wouldn’t be against her anymore, would he? Yes, she must bear Meng Chaojun a son!

Everything in the Meng Family had to belong to her, Duan Qingqing’s son, and definitely not be left to that woman’s son!

A glint of determination flashed in Duan Qingqing’s eyes.
