Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1261: Chapter 1262: Treasuring It as a Precious Jewel

Moreover, there had never been any mention of such a person before. Hadn’t they always had no contact or dealings with each other?

”What now, stunned? I’ll have you know, once Nian Mutong arrives, even your grandfather treasures her! I reckon, her place in this family won’t be any less than Meng Xinian’s. As for you? You’re neither a Meng nor a Nian—think about that clearly. Hurry up and hand over the keys; it’s already been an imposition for Nian Mutong to stay in the guest room for two days.”

Chiang Xiao couldn’t immediately digest the words she had said, nor did she know what feelings Old Meng and Meng Chaojun harbored towards this Nian Mutong. However, as far as she knew, Old Meng had agreed back then that the old residence would be shared with the Nian Family.

Now she suddenly felt some admiration for Meng Xinian.

If he hadn’t had the foresight to have the house transferred under his name, who knew whether this Nian Mutong, now returned, would genuinely fight for this old house?

Now she wasn’t afraid at all.

Who cared who this person was, whether or not she was a Nian, how important she was in the hearts of Old Meng and his son—what did it have to do with her?

It wasn’t her who had agreed to the matters of the Meng and Nian families back then; she wasn’t going to be responsible for them either.

Besides, nobody had the right to ask Meng Xinian to vacate his room.

What really piqued her curiosity was Duan Qingqing’s attitude.

Logically, Duan Qingqing held hostility towards Mother Xinian and wouldn’t like people from the Nian Family, especially the women.

But now, it seemed she was quite favorable towards this Nian Mutong?

”Where’s grandfather?”

”What, they didn’t tell you? I heard that a famous doctor arrived in the Neighboring City, and they both went to visit that doctor together,” said Duan Qingqing with a somewhat schadenfreude expression. ”It’s a bit of a trip, and they probably won’t be back for five days. They left just yesterday, so it’ll be at least four more days before their return.”

Meaning that, for these four days, Chiang Xiao would have no one in the Meng Family to back her up, no one to rely on.

She best be wise.

Chiang Xiao was somewhat speechless inside.

Wasn’t it said in the Capital that Chen Baoshen was the most impressive Divine Chinese Medicine Practitioner?

With Chen Baoshen around, why did the father and son need to run so far to find another doctor?

Ever since she had taken a few lessons from Chen Baoshen and listened to his lectures on traditional Chinese medicine, she had clearly felt how advanced Chen Baoshen’s medical expertise was.

If even Chen Baoshen couldn’t cure it, Meng Chaojun’s illness shouldn’t expect to find another Chinese medicine practitioner who could.

Moreover, his condition had been managed with her shipped medicinal teas; Meng Chaojun’s physical and mental health should still be decent. Why would they seek another doctor after seeing some improvement?

Weren’t they afraid that the hassle would only worsen his health?

His tumor was too severe; even if she had added a bit of Spiritual Spring Water into the medicinal tea, it could only suppress it slowly. It might require long-term consumption to see effects, and during the course of drinking the medicinal tea, he still had to take good care, focusing on rest, or else exertion could once again worsen the condition.

Meng Chaojun really didn’t value their efforts; otherwise, how could he leave on a long journey without saying a word to Chen Baoshen, or at least, give her a call?

Thinking of this, Chiang Xiao’s expression grew somewhat ugly.

Duan Qingqing thought she was truly upset by the words she had just spoken and couldn’t help but laugh even more jubilantly.

”Have you come to terms with it? If you have, hand over the keys quickly. You know, I don’t want to resort to having someone forcibly break down the door.”
