Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1808: Chapter 1744: Caught?

Ah Liu couldn’t help but grow tense as he spoke to this point, his face even looking somewhat pale. It seemed that when talking about that woman, he was very worried for her.

”I don’t know why, I just determined that the person chasing her was a bad person, and I didn’t want her to get into trouble. I was scared she would be caught, so I desperately shouted for her to run, to run faster.”

Cold sweat seeped from Ah Liu’s forehead, his whole body started to tremble, and his hands clenched tightly into fists.

”If she got caught by those people, it would certainly be very dangerous. But I couldn’t see her face clearly, only knew she was very thin, looking very frail. She couldn’t run fast, kept gasping for breath, nearly getting caught by those people.”

Listening to this, Chiang Xiao had a sudden flash of the scene from her previous life where she was being chased by those people.

Back then, she was just as frail, couldn’t run fast no matter what, kept gasping for breath, those people chased her relentlessly, almost caught her...

Chiang Xiao shivered suddenly inside.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard.

Meng Xinian rolled down his sleeves which were earlier pulled up for washing vegetables and walked over to open the door, seeing Old Meng standing outside with a cane and couldn’t help but be taken aback.

”Grandpa? Why are you here?”

Not only Old Meng, but there was also a car parked in the alley, and Meng Sheng was pulling out big bags from it.

”I’ve been idle at home with nothing to do, calling here constantly since noon, but no one answered. I decided to come over by dinner time and have a look, and sure enough, you were home, right?”

Old Meng said as he looked into the courtyard.

Knowing his grandson had bought this place and would live here with Chiang Xiao in the future, seemingly not returning to live at the Meng Family Old Mansion, Old Meng felt a bitterness in his heart but knew he couldn’t change anything now. He could only suppress the bitterness and ask, ”Is Little and her father also here?”

”Yes.”

”I thought, as the man’s family, we should show some sincerity first. Your dad’s health isn’t good, so I’ll do it. You’re not going to marry Little soon? I must sit down with your father-in-law and discuss the wedding properly, right?”

After talking for a long time and seeing Meng Xinian still standing there without letting him in, Old Meng’s face showed a slight bitterness, ”Xinian, you’re not planning to keep your grandpa from coming in, are you?”

Only then did Meng Xinian move aside and say, ”Grandpa, come in.”

He just felt that Chiang Xiao and Ah Liu were discussing something unknown at the moment, and having just acknowledged the Jiang Family, understanding the complex dynamics, Chiang Xiaoxiao’s mood might not be good.

He really didn’t want Grandpa to formally discuss the wedding with her right now.

But since they were already here, he couldn’t keep Grandpa out. As Grandpa said, regardless of what happens in their family, having an elder personally come to discuss the marriage at least showed the importance given to this affair.

Chiang Xiaoxiao might not care, but Ah Liu couldn’t ignore it.

Old Meng entered the courtyard, Meng Sheng followed in with the items, greeting Meng Xinian, ”Xinian.”

”Sheng Brother, come in.”

Old Meng glanced around the courtyard, feeling it truly wasn’t inferior to the Meng Family Old Mansion, sighed mildly in his heart.

”Where’s Little and the others?”

”In the study. Why don’t you sit in the living room first?” Meng Xinian casually asked, ”Have you eaten?”

”Not yet!” Old Meng immediately responded quickly.

Meng Xinian: ”...Then let’s eat together later.”

”Okay, okay!”

In the study room, Chiang Xiao’s voice was a bit hoarse, ”In the end, did that woman get caught?”
