Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1494: Chapter 1496: The Meaning of a Threat

Moreover, because Chiang Baohe was executed, Chiang Songtao and Ho Laidi always felt that those who could have helped did not. Later on, when Chiang Baoguo sought help from the Xue Family, it was clear that they could have been of assistance, but Chiang Xiao messed things up. Therefore, both elderly parents harbored hatred towards Chiang Xiao.

However, at that time, Chiang Yuequn was nowhere to be seen, so it seems normal that he didn’t hold such resentment.

He used to be quite cordial with their family.

But now Chiang Songhai has learned to be cautious. Given that Chiang Yuequn knows they live here but has never visited, it’s clear he still has some apprehensions.

Now that Chen Kaijin has come, is it to embolden themselves together?

”I don’t really drink.” Chiang Songhai said, then addressed Chen Kaijin: ”Better take it all back. Actually, Qingjiang has changed his surname to Deng. It was just us lending him a hand back then; it’s all in the past now and doesn’t matter anymore. There’s no need to dwell on it.”

Chiang Songhai’s words took even Ge Liutao aback for a moment.

What does the old man mean by this?

Even Chen Kaijin’s heart skipped a beat. Was Chiang Songhai intending to dismiss the father-son relationship with Qingjiang?

That cannot be!

Could it be that the old couple grew cold-hearted from wealth and are unwilling to share their fortune with their adopted son?

She was somewhat annoyed internally, yet her face was filled with smiles.

”Dad, you must be joking. The kindness you showed Qingjiang isn’t something that can just be dismissed. Besides, Qingjiang will always be your son, and I am your daughter-in-law. The whole Siyang Village knows that, and Qingjiang was even included in the family register, wasn’t he? Even though Qingjiang has changed his surname and his household registration has been moved, he’s still Chiang Qingjiang in the Siyang Village family register, still your son. That’s something that can’t be dismissed.”

She was aware of this because Deng Qingjiang had once complained to her about the hassle of changing the family register, expressing concern that it would be difficult to dissociate his name as the son of Chiang Songhai in the register.

But the ways of the world are ever-changing.

Now, she suddenly recalled this matter and realized, fortunately, the family register hadn’t been altered.

Upon hearing this, Chiang Songhai suddenly felt quite uncomfortable.

He always felt a hint of threat in Chen Kaijin’s words. In the past, he never could detect malicious intent in others’ words, but now he could.

Everything they owned was earned through Little’s struggles. What Chen Kaijin meant was, could it be that Deng Qingjiang could share everything they owned and even inherit it later?

His complexion immediately turned a bit unsightly.

”Have a seat, please sit down.”

He gave Ge Liutao a look, which she understood, but was somewhat puzzled.

Was this a signal for her to make a phone call?

But who to call?

Little?

She isn’t sure if Little is at home at the moment.

They knew that Meng Xinian had provided an apartment in the Capital City for Little, but they thought it was just a small place for Little to live alone. Chiang Xiao hadn’t explained the details to them.

”Meng Xinian said he would come over tonight, right? He doesn’t have training tomorrow, so go give him a call and ask what time he’ll arrive,” Chiang Songhai said to her, seeing she seemed a bit confused.

If Little isn’t home, Meng Xinian’s presence would serve the same purpose.

Chiang Songhai knew he probably couldn’t handle these people alone and couldn’t resist looking for support.

Meng Xinian would occasionally come back to dine with them and fix whatever was broken at home.

Chiang Songhai remembered him mentioning that he wouldn’t have training this Sunday. With Chen Kaijin visiting and uncertain when she would leave or what might happen, he still desired to have Meng Xinian come over.
