Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1279: Chapter 1280: Dismantle Her Bones

Duan Qingqing was both shocked and furious. As her emotions surged, she could no longer hold back the sensation and suddenly covered her mouth, retching loudly.

She hurriedly ran toward the restroom.

Chiang Xiao watched her retreating figure, thinking back to last night when Qingqing had reacted similarly, and suspicion suddenly arose within her.

Was it food poisoning?

But Qingqing had dinner at home last night, as did Nian Mutong.

Both of them were fine, so why was only Duan Qingqing affected?

Aunt Guo was quite meticulous about hygiene when cooking, and the vegetables she bought were fresh, as Chiang Xiao had seen herself.

For all these years, there had never been a case of food poisoning from eating her cooking.

Suddenly, Chiang Xiao thought of a possibility and her complexion shifted slightly.

At that moment, she lost all interest in continuing the quarrel with Nian Mutong and, grabbing Meng Xinian, prepared to leave.

”Xin...” Nian Mutong saw them about to leave and subconsciously tried to call Meng Xinian back, but after only uttering one syllable, Meng Xinian turned his cold gaze sharply toward her.

His icy stare made her heart skip a beat.

She began to feel somewhat afraid of this man.

Because Nian Mutong had never seen such a cold look in his eyes before. There was not a trace of warmth, nor any sign of indulgence or sympathy for her. It was different from the way any man looked at her.

She was a smart girl and realized in an instant that everything Meng Xinian had just said was true. If she dared to call him in such a manner again, he really would pick her up and throw her out without mercy.

”Officer Meng,” her voice slightly trembled unconsciously, ”I’m not sure whether I should take Aunt Qing to the hospital for a checkup. She seems to be feeling unwell.”

”Listen,” he paused, ”I’m not living here now, so you can stay a few more days. However, you are Nian Che’s daughter. Your maternal grandfather also has several sons. There are plenty of your own relatives to turn to. If you have any sense, it would be best for you to think about this clearly.”

Meng Xinian paused momentarily before continuing: ”As for Duan Qingqing, whether she lives or dies is none of my concern. Tell her, if she dares to touch mine and Chiang Xiao’s room, I’ll dare to break her bones, one by one. Let her try it.”

After saying this, he took Chiang Xiao by the hand and walked out.

Perhaps today was just a good day because just as they stepped out the door, they happened to bump into Du Jinruo.

Du Jinruo had made plans with Nian Mutong earlier in the morning, so she had come to meet her.

But she had not anticipated encountering Meng Xinian today!

The moment she saw Meng Xinian, her eyes lit up and her heart raced, feeling like fortune favored the persistent!

After all, she had always been looking for opportunities to visit the Meng Family recently, and now fate had finally allowed their paths to cross!

She had written letters to Meng Xinian, but he had never replied. When she called the military camp, as soon as he heard her voice, he hung up without a word. Later, he even instructed the signalman to memorize her voice, forbidding them from inviting him to the phone if it was her calling.

She cared about her dignity, of course. So, after that, how could she dare to call him again?

However, a chance encounter was good enough!

She had important things to discuss with him!

”Officer Meng, have you returned to the Capital?”

Chiang Xiao exhaled and glanced sideways at Meng Xinian.

The meaning in her eyes was clear—did you see that? Do you realize how many troublesome matters and people you’ve attracted?

Meng Xinian was also growing irritated, not just Chiang Xiao. He was annoyed as well.

Where on earth did all these people come from? Why did they always jump out in front of him?
