Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1328: Chapter 1329 Let’s Choose Carefully

But the water and glass shards on the floor halted her attempt to pounce again.

Gazing at the chaos strewn across the floor, Duan Qingqing knelt there, feeling waves of icy cold penetrating her bones.

”What a sin, what a terrible sin!” Old Meng, covering his eyes, collapsed back onto the sofa in defeat. ”Our family’s misfortune has tarnished our reputation! The Meng Family has been upstanding for generations, and it’s all been ruined by your hand!”

”It’s useless to talk about these things now,” Meng Xinian said with an icy voice. ”Have you thought about how to handle the matter next? Once Wei Lengmian arrives, he will investigate thoroughly. If it turns out Duan Qingqing conspired with Xu Yiqiu...”

Duan Qingqing broke out in a hoarse scream, ”I didn’t betray the country with Xu Yiqiu! She just realized I was pregnant and promised to buy medicine for me abroad, to stop the vomiting, and also something for Chao Jun to take...”

Duan Chaojun’s mind snapped to attention at her words, understanding her implication in an instant, and in that moment he wished he could kick her to death!

She had the gall to ask Xu Yiqiu to buy medicine for him?

Who could guarantee what kind of medicine that woman would bring back?

Was Duan Qingqing planning to drug him secretly?

Thinking about this sent a chill down his back.

”Speak clearly! Speak directly!” he said, closing his eyes.

Now, with no other choice, admitting to being cuckolded was better than actually being suspected of colluding with foreign organizations!

The former was a matter of his pride being trampled, his dignity gone. The latter could potentially drag the entire Meng Family into an irrecoverable downfall!

Meng Xinian glanced at him.

At last, at this moment, he did not think of concealing the truth or of protecting his own face.

”So, how do you plan to handle this woman?”

”...Divorce,” Meng Chaojun said without so much as a glance at Duan Qingqing.

”Chao Jun, you can’t do this to me! I won’t divorce, I can’t get divorced!” Duan Qingqing cried and screamed.

Meanwhile, outside, as Chiang Xiao walked slowly with Chen Baoshen, she listened to him complain on her behalf.

”Tell me, for a nice girl like you with such good qualities, why pick such a family? Sure, Meng Xinian is a decent guy, but marriage isn’t just about marrying one person; it’s about joining their family too. With a confused grandfather and a foolish, stubborn father like that, how can you live a good life?” Chen Baoshen got angrier as he spoke. ”It’s too aggravating, you’d be utterly wronged!”

Chiang Xiao replied helplessly, ”Grandpa Chen, who made it so that I met Brother Xinian first before I knew what their family was like?”

”Well, you could still dump him, couldn’t you?”

Chiang Xiao fell silent.

Inside, she felt somewhat amused; if she really dumped him because of his grandfather and father, she wondered what he would do.

She’d have to ask him about this when she had the chance.

”Otherwise, it’s not too late to dump him now,” Chen Baoshen said. ”There haven’t been a few people in the Capital City speaking ill of you recently. You know about this, right?”

Wasn’t it just those rumors about her parents and her background?

Chiang Xiao nodded without committing to a position.

Chen Baoshen continued angrily, ”I had someone look into it, and it turns out it was that woman, Duan Qingqing, who started spreading those rumors. I mean, talk about misfortune, how could heaven let her get pregnant? If not, I would have slapped her myself.”

The child inside Duan Qingqing...

”Just think, with a mother-in-law like that, how will you live in the future? Rather than go through with it, why not break it off with Meng Xinian? Grandpa can find you a better match! If you like someone from the Supervisor Guard, we’ll handpick from the first squad, second squad, three, four, five, six, seven, all the best ones!”
