Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2111: Chapter 2047: Just a Little Less Attractive Than You

”I really was just following Brother Xinian’s lead,” Chiang Xiao said, winking at Meng Xinian, and asked, ”But, when I just came in, I heard the old lady was introducing a match for Brother Xinian? Is the girl pretty?”

The old lady of the Nian family felt this girl was really quite personable, she even initiated a conversation with her.

She quickly said, ”Pretty, very pretty! But, just a little less pretty than you, dear, you’re really the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen.”

Chiang Xiao stifled a laugh and said with a regretful face, ”Not as pretty as me, huh? Then maybe it won’t work out.”

Old Meng and Meng Chaojun both looked speechlessly at Chiang Xiao, seeing her teasing the old lady of the Nian family, they were both amused and a bit exasperated.

But they didn’t dare interrupt Chiang Xiao recklessly.

They both couldn’t quite figure out if Chiang Xiao was happy or angry at the moment.

If she was angry, even the whole Meng and Nian families wouldn’t be enough to deal with her messiness.

After all, Meng Xinian would undoubtedly side with her without a word.

”Oh? Why?” the old lady asked.

”Because Brother Xinian’s eyes have been spoiled by me, to find a match, he would at least need someone as pretty as I am for him to be interested. If they aren’t as pretty as me, how could he even be interested?”

Chiang Xiao raised an eyebrow and shot a sidelong glance at Meng Xinian.

Well, Tyrant Meng, secretly returning to the Meng family, turns out someone is introducing a match for him.

Meng Xinian’s face turned dark, he grabbed her hand, pulled her down, sat her beside him, and slid a hand behind her to wrap around her waist.

In a place where no one could see, his fingers stroked her waist.

Nian Tang had already noticed something was off.

Just how could a neighbor’s child be so close to Meng Xinian?

The two of them sat so close together, bodies practically touching.

And Meng Xinian, since she came in, his eyes have been glued to her, that gaze, made anyone who saw it feel overwhelmed.

Just a moment ago he was quite frosty.

”Girl, you really know how to joke...”

The old lady of the Nian family looked awkward, still thinking Chiang Xiao was just joking, but Nian Tang had already interrupted her, looking at Chiang Xiao with a slightly gloomy expression.

”You’re Xinian’s fiancée, right?”

Chiang Xiao smiled, ”You could tell, huh?”

”What?” The old lady’s face changed, ”You’re that village girl?”

”That’s right, I’m that poor village girl who climbed up the social ladder, Meng Xinian’s fiancée.”

As she spoke, she pinched Meng Xinian’s waist, and she didn’t use any less force.

Meng Xinian let out a low hiss.

”Attempted husbandicide?”

It really did hurt a bit.

This girl isn’t like the average girl, her hand strength is quite considerable too.

Meng Xinian couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

”What’s this about husband? I thought you wanted a pretty elementary school teacher?”

”Didn’t you say yourself? Anyone who’s less pretty than you, I have no interest in. In this world, there’s probably no girl prettier than you.”

Meng Xinian’s eyes gleamed with amusement. This girl obviously knew full well and understood that he couldn’t possibly go on any dates or find another match, yet she was still acting a little jealous. This showed she was becoming more and more concerned about him, to the point that she wasn’t happy hearing about things that couldn’t possibly happen.

He didn’t think she was too petty at all, instead, he loved seeing her nervous because of him and acting a little peeved.

Chiang Xiao almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.

When did this guy become so slick-tongued?

The two of them suddenly ignored the others present, whispering in each other’s ears, indulging in this seemingly childish but clearly enjoyable banter.
