Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1323: Chapter 1324: You Have a Clue in Your Heart

”Xinian, what are you talking about? I felt uncomfortable last night, so I went to bed early,” said Duan Qingqing, somewhat restless. Although she tried to hide it well, how could she escape Meng Xinian’s gaze?

”Are you not speaking?” Meng Xinian sneered, ”Let me tell you directly, Xu Yiqiu has been arrested. Though the interrogation and investigation are still ongoing, now that we’re alone, I can firmly tell you that smuggling, treason, and other charges—you may not understand, but she can’t escape these accusations.”

”What?”

”Xu Yiqiu? That female painter?”

Meng Chaojun and Old Meng also cried out in shock.

”But, how could Duan Qingqing be involved with her?”

Duan Qingqing’s heart exploded with a boom.

Xu Yiqiu has been arrested? Arrested?

And for such serious crimes?

Suddenly, Xu Yiqiu pointed at Chiang Xiao and shouted, ”Then why don’t you ask Chiang Xiao? Chiang Xiao also paints! She used to be in contact with Xu Yiqiu, right? And Chiang Xiao’s teacher, who lectured with Xu Yiqiu! Chiang Xiao is suspicious! Could Chiang Xiao drag our Meng Family into this? Dad, Chaojun, say something!”

Old Meng and Meng Chaojun exchanged glances, each seeing the gravity in the other’s eyes.

They finally understood why Meng Xinian had sent Nian Mutong away first.

”Chiang Xiao, you better speak up! Are you in cahoots with Xu Yiqiu?” Duan Qingqing pointed at Chiang Xiao.

Old Meng shouted, ”Enough! Little is not that kind of person!”

Duan Qingqing looked at him incredulously and then shrank back, ”Dad, then you think I am that kind of person? I wouldn’t do that either! I am Chaojun’s wife, don’t I know what Chaojun does for a living? How could I collude with some foreign organization? How could I commit treason?”

”Soon, Director Wei will come with his team,” said Meng Xinian to Meng Chaojun. ”You must have heard of Director Wei’s nickname. He’s looking for Duan Qingqing, not Little, so you should know what that means.”

No matter how Duan Qingqing pointed at Chiang Xiao, it was futile.

Whomever Wei Lengmian was seeking indicated who needed to be investigated.

They must have already checked Chiang Xiao and Liu Guoying’s contacts with Xu Yiqiu. Chiang Xiao and her group had never had private contact with Xu Yiqiu; it all happened in broad daylight.

Even Chen Yin...

No, Chen Yin should also be taken to assist in the investigation.

Indeed, Director Wei’s phone call was made from Chen Yin’s office.

At first, Chen Yin didn’t realize the severity of Xu Yiqiu’s crimes and was resistant when taken away, but he also knew that facing Wei Lengmian, the best thing was to cooperate quietly.

”Speak up now!” Meng Chaojun grabbed a cup from the table and threw it at Duan Qingqing.

The cup hit Duan Qingqing’s chest squarely, causing her to double over in pain, her face growing even whiter.

Her body hurt, and so did her heart. She looked at Meng Chaojun in disbelief.

”Chaojun, you... you hit me?”

Over so many years, Meng Chaojun had been so good to her; they were an envied couple, and she was admired to the point of envy by many for being so cherished by her husband despite not having children. What woman could achieve that?

But now, Meng Chaojun actually threw a cup at her!

She felt her chest must be bruised!

”I told you to speak! Everything Xinian asked about, explain it clearly!” Meng Chaojun shouted angrily, completely ignoring her question.

Duan Qingqing covered her chest, trembling all over.

What should she say!
