Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1577: Chapter 1579: Must Set Clear Boundaries

Moreover, a large family like the D State Jiang Family must be incredibly complex, with unpredictable human nature. Large families often have hidden secrets, and she absolutely didn’t want to get entangled with such a family.

She just wanted to live freely and go with the flow, then earn some money through hard work so she could live a carefree life without worry, spending the rest of her days in comfort.

Thinking about these things, her mood inevitably turned a little somber.

”Of course, Brother Chu, if it’s inconvenient, just forget it. After all, it involves the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife’s matters.”

Chu Liang said, ”It’s fine, it’s not inconvenient at all. Do you think I wouldn’t trust you? I’ll organize it when I have time, but it might take a little while.”

Chiang Xiao’s heart eased, and she nodded. ”Alright, no rush. Thank you, Brother Chu.”

”I should be the one thanking you.”

If it weren’t for her and Meng Xinian, he would’ve been dead long ago. How would he have the chance now to do these things, or even consider marriage and settling down?

Chu Liang felt a deep sense of gratitude toward Chiang Xiao.

Moreover, he had no intention of leaving Chiang Xiao to work for someone else. If Chiang Xiao didn’t mind, he’d work for her for the rest of his life.

Chiang Xiao and Wang Yi were going back to the Capital City. Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao had bought a lot of City M’s specialty products for Wang Yi to take back home, which she could give away to others as well.

Wang Yi couldn’t fit everything into one suitcase and was deeply appreciative of their generosity.

Meng Xinian escorted them to the train station.

As soon as Chiang Xiao saw the blue and purple bruises on his face and at the corner of his mouth, she froze for a moment.

”You’re kidding, right? Don’t tell me you lost the fight with that guy the other day?”

It had been two or three days already, but there were still marks. When he got hit at the time, it must’ve been quite severe.

Meng Xinian shot her a sidelong glance and said, ”You think I would lose?”

Cheng Cheng was very strong, but Cheng Cheng was a mission maniac. He spent much of his year carrying out tasks in dangerous places, and his ability to adapt to the environment, weather, and survival experiences might indeed surpass Meng Xinian’s. However, aside from missions, Meng Xinian spent most of his time training, and when it came to fights, he had never been afraid.

And, he almost never lost.

”Then what about the bruises on your face...” Chiang Xiao extended a finger and lightly poked the small bluish-purple patch near the corner of his mouth, holding back her laughter.

Meng Xinian tilted his face slightly, gripping her fingertip lightly with his mouth. He gave it a gentle nibble before letting go and said, ”You little rascal, laughing when you see me injured?”

Chiang Xiao didn’t expect him to make such a move and quickly retracted her hand while glancing at Wang Yi in the back seat.

Wang Yi had her head lowered, seemingly lost in thought, and didn’t appear to have heard their conversation or noticed their little gestures just now.

”Chen Yin’s injuries should be fine,” Meng Xinian noticed her gaze and glanced at the mirror, speaking in a low voice.

”Hmm.”

”As for the situation between them, you don’t need to involve yourself too much. Let them figure it out on their own.”

”Got it.” Chiang Xiao nodded.

”About your own matters, I think you should reconsider the adoption issue. Whether it’s Teacher Liu or someone else I find as adoptive parents, it’s fine either way. But you must draw a clear line between yourself and Chiang Qingzhu. The Kong Family will only bring endless trouble in the future.”

Chiang Xiao looked at him and couldn’t help but feel that his tone carried a subtle chill when he said this.

”Is it really necessary? Actually, I’ve thought about it afterward. If I truly go through with the adoption, I’m afraid it would hurt my grandparents. They only have me.” Chiang Xiao sighed deeply.

Meng Xinian reached out and gently ruffled her hair, suppressing the cold glint in his eyes, and said, ”If you agree, I’ll explain it to your grandparents. But, Little, do you truly feel nothing at all toward Chiang Qingzhu?”
