Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1318: Chapter 1319: What Did You Notice?

Director Jin of the Art Institute, who had recently been revealed as Wang Yi’s maternal uncle, was something Chen Yin had only just found out about.

Despite having such a connection, Wang Yi never relied on her uncle and performed very well at work; she even enjoyed her job at the Art Institute. Why then, would she be suddenly transferred?

Chen Yin felt an indescribable restlessness within him and intended to step outside, but his foot injury was still inconvenient.

No one knew about his agitation at the company.

Meng Xinian was supposed to return to City M today. However, before he left, Old Meng and Meng Chaojun, father and son, returned home.

The happiest about their return was undoubtedly Nian Mutong.

Old Meng was exceptionally kind to her and had even encouraged her to treat this place like her home and to settle down comfortably. But now, she almost served like a daughter-in-law in the Meng Family, and it was far too aggrieving.

Even though Meng Xinian was about to leave, Chiang Xiao wasn’t going anywhere. Moreover, Meng Xinian had even told her to move out as soon as possible.

Old Meng and Meng Chaojun walked into the house and immediately saw Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao.

The two were exchanging moves in the courtyard.

”Oh, how come all of you are here?” Old Meng, clearly delighted, immediately strode over, ”When did you arrive? You came home while Grandpa wasn’t here!”

Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian stopped.

Chiang Xiao walked to the side, picked up a towel, tossed one to Meng Xinian, and used another to wipe off her sweat.

Meng Xinian just couldn’t sit still. Even though the train was in two and a half hours, he still had to spar with her to improve her boxing technique.

Of course, she also understood a little—by staying in the courtyard, Duan Qingqing wouldn’t dare to go out.

Last night when Chiang Xiao returned and attempted to probe Duan Qingqing, she found her not at home, even though she was clearly there before they left.

Was she trying to avoid them?

If she wanted to hide, they would just keep staying in the living room or courtyard, watching how she avoided them.

But sure enough, Duan Qingqing had been hiding in her second-floor bedroom for most of the day, not even daring to come downstairs, claiming she was down with a cold, and therefore not coming down for meals.

How guilty she must feel.

Meng Xinian smiled faintly and turned to Old Meng, ”Yes, I was also wondering why Grandpa would not be at home? And the person who should be recovering is not home either.”

As he said this, he cast a glance at Meng Chaojun.

That glance stirred up a trace of anger in his heart.

However, Chiang Xiao was even angrier.

She had put in so much effort and even used the Spiritual Spring Water, taking great pains to nurse Meng Chaojun’s health. His tumor was severe, and drinking intermittently would lead to relapses; he needed to keep on drinking it. The result was that by leaving for a few days, he obviously hadn’t taken his medicine.

Because anyone with clear eyes could see that Meng Chaojun’s complexion had worsened compared to before, and it seemed he had not rested well these past few days at all—haggard, pale-faced, with slightly dark lips and an overall lackluster energy.

Meng Chaojun, hearing Meng Xinian’s words, replied, ”Went to see a doctor.”

”Right, right, that doctor was recommended by someone else. They say he’s very skilled and has even cured patients with your dad’s kind of condition, so we went to consult with him.”

”And what was the result? Did he find anything?” Meng Xinian asked indifferently.

Old Meng, hearing the tone in his voice, was momentarily stunned.

Meng Chaojun, however, got angry, ”Your grandpa and your dad haven’t even sat down or had a sip of water since entering, and instead of showing concern, you speak with such a sarcastic tone—who are you performing for?”

”In fact, I’d like to know as well,” said Chiang Xiao with a cold laugh, ”why you would abandon the medicine prescribed by Grandpa Chen, not take the medicine I sent from miles away, and instead end up in this state—what did you find out?”
