Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2416: Chapter 2352: Please Don’t Take Offense

”Understood, my dear treasure,” Ah Liu chuckled softly again.

Listening to his laughter, Chiang Xiao indeed felt that he was in a relatively good mood, not feeling overly stressed or that the situation was overly complicated.

Chiang Xiao felt somewhat relieved.

”Dad, have you still not been able to figure out who is behaving strangely?”

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but ask.

Since he had been observing people, surely someone within the Jiang Family involved in harming him back then might have shown some suspicious sign?

Ah Liu replied, ”Hmm, it seems Dad’s enemies are quite skilled at hiding themselves well.”

”They are my enemies too.”

”Yes, yes, we’re on the same side.”

”Then...” Chiang Xiao remembered Lu Shuangshuang, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, ”Is Lu Shuangshuang still with the Jiang Family?”

”She is.” Ah Liu’s smile faded slightly as he said, ”Why, is my dear daughter’s worried?”

”Not worried. I know Dad can handle everything well,” Chiang Xiao said, ”Has Dad’s memory fully returned now?”

”Not yet. Although some bits and pieces have come back, the timeline is a bit chaotic. So, I still need to sort it out properly. However, I did recall something interesting, like my mother, your grandmother, left some treasures for me and I remembered where I hid them. I’ll give them all to you when the time comes. There’s quite a bit of jewelry and gold, they’re beautiful.”

Chiang Xiao wasn’t polite at all, ”Great, give them all to me.”

Her lack of reservation actually put Ah Liu in a good mood, and he laughed heartily.

”Of course, all for you.”

”Xiao Sixth, may I come in?”

Chiang Xiao suddenly heard a gentle female voice coming from that direction.

Although she didn’t know many of the women in the Jiang Family or their voices, and there might be many calling him Xiao Sixth, making this call not very distinguishing, Chiang Xiao instinctively suspected it was Lu Shuangshuang.

She pursed her lips and fell silent.

”Little Xiao, I’ll call you again later.”

”Alright.”

Just as Chiang Xiao was about to hang up, the woman’s voice urgently sounded again, ”Is Xiao Sixth on the phone with Xiao Xiao? Could I say a few words to her?”

Ah Liu paused, intending to refuse, but Chiang Xiao had already agreed.

”Dad, it’s Lu Shuangshuang, right?”

”...Yes.”

”Then let me talk to her. I want to hear what she has to say.”

Chiang Xiao was quite curious about Lu Shuangshuang.

Despite not being very fond of Ah Liu getting married, having just reunited with her father, she was somewhat selfishly hoping to be the most important person in Ah Liu’s heart.

At least, for a year or two perhaps.

If she hadn’t felt enough fatherly love yet, and another woman occupied his heart and his tenderness and care were given to someone else, Chiang Xiao felt she would feel quite uncomfortable inside.

On a rational level, she knew as a daughter she shouldn’t be this selfish, and she also thought, she herself has Meng Xinian, so why shouldn’t Ah Liu have a wife?

But reason and emotion are two entirely different things.

Having lived two lives without a father, now finally having one, naturally, a part of her wants to monopolize it.

However, if Lu Shuangshuang turned out to be a good person, genuinely loving Ah Liu, if she could bring him happiness, Chiang Xiao knew she would have to adjust her mood and accept her becoming a stepmother.

Ah Liu cannot refuse Chiang Xiao.

Upon hearing her desire to speak with Lu Shuangshuang, he put down the receiver, stood up, took two steps back, and then said to Lu Shuangshuang, ”Little Xiao is young, if anything is said bluntly, please don’t mind.”
