Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1916: Chapter 1852: No Real Connection

”Why?”

Chiang Xiao raised an eyebrow and said, ”I think my dad knows his own mind. If he truly likes her, he won’t need my persuasion to marry her. If I have to talk him into it, it shows he doesn’t really care for her.”

After speaking, Chiang Xiao stood up, ”Aunt, since my dad’s not here, I’ll head back. My teacher’s given me homework, and I need to do some drawing.”

She had a rough idea of what Ying Qiong was hinting at.

Ying Qiong wasn’t aware that she’d already heard from Chen Baoshen about Lu Shuangshuang, so she kept probing.

It seemed that Ying Qiong held Lu Shuangshuang in high regard.

Chiang Xiao was somewhat curious about Lu Shuangshuang.

What kind of woman waits for a man for twenty years? Especially when he was missing and presumed dead, and everyone thought there was little hope in finding him?

However, unless Ah Liu mentioned Lu Shuangshuang first, Chiang Xiao definitely wouldn’t try to find out about her herself.

”Little, let’s have dinner together tonight, your dad’s already been informed.”

Seeing that Chiang Xiao didn’t want to continue the topic, Ying Qiong skillfully changed the subject.

”No, if my dad’s dining with you, I’ll go meet some friends. I need my own space too, aunt, don’t you agree?”

She stuck out her tongue playfully and dashed out.

Ying Qiong wasn’t angry; she just shook her head with a smile.

It’s quite normal for young people not to want to dine with the older crowd.

Chiang Xiao left the hospital and let out a slight sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to exit the hospital gates, she noticed someone familiar was grabbing a woman’s arm, and they seemed to be arguing.

Since they were in her path, Chiang Xiao took a closer look.

Du Jinruo.

And the man holding Du Jinruo’s arm was Gao Wei.

Chiang Xiao was momentarily speechless.

She hadn’t run into these two in ages, and now here they were.

Moreover, Gao Wei is really persistent, having pursued Du Jinruo for so many years and still hasn’t given up.

Frankly, Chiang Xiao didn’t quite understand what was going on in Du Jinruo’s mind. She’s not that young anymore, yet she’s still tangled up with these men.

Chiang Xiao didn’t want to confront them and was about to take a detour when both Du Jinruo and Gao Wei spotted her.

Gao Wei shouted immediately.

”Hey! Chiang Xiao!”

Chiang Xiao didn’t stop and kept walking.

But Du Jinruo’s voice rang out as well, ”Chiang Xiao, wait a moment!”

What’s this about?

These two both have something to say to her?

But even if they did, it didn’t mean she had to stop and listen.

Chiang Xiao didn’t turn around.

”Damn, what’s your deal? I’m calling you!” Gao Wei quickly ran up to and blocked her path.

He gave her a once-over.

He’d heard that Meng Xinian’s little fiancée was getting prettier as she grew up, and it seemed true.

”Move aside,” Chiang Xiao frowned.

”What’s the problem, Chiang Xiao? We might not be close, but you can spare a few words, right? I have something to discuss with you.”

”I’m not interested in talking to you.”

Chiang Xiao was a bit annoyed. This was the Alliance District Hospital, heavily guarded, so if she started a fight, she’d likely be stopped before it got anywhere.

Her family was at this hospital, so she didn’t want to embarrass herself.

”You don’t need to be interested.” Gao Wei shrugged and glanced toward Du Jinruo, ”Xiao Ruo, come on, tell Chiang Xiao what you want.”
