Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2504: Chapter 2440: The Face from Back Then

This was something he and Nian Chengcheng heard from childhood.

However, there was another thing his adoptive father said: unfortunately, he and Nian Chengcheng were siblings and couldn’t become husband and wife; otherwise, who knows how beautiful their children would be.

Nian Chengcheng remembered the first part, always keeping in mind that they were siblings and could not be married.

But he remembered the second part, constantly yearning for the possibility that if he and Nian Chengcheng became husband and wife, they would surely have the most beautiful children, which would be so blissful.

Upon learning that Nian Chengcheng got married, he was enraged and wanted to ruin them.

Upon knowing that Nian Chengcheng had a child, his anger flared up, and after seeing the young Meng Xinian, he found several pretty girls, using his handsome looks to deliberately seduce them, deceiving them into giving their bodies, even marrying one of them, hoping to have a child more beautiful than Meng Xinian.

At that time, he had lost all rationality.

The same went for Duan Qingqing.

Originally, Duan Qingqing was whom he intended to marry, but another girl was more beautiful than Duan Qingqing and got pregnant with his child at once, so he changed his mind and coaxed Duan Qingqing into seducing Meng Chaojun.

Mrs. Nian shrank her neck.

She hardly dared to look at such a Nian Che.

Why did she hate Nian Che’s mother so much before? It was because that woman was too beautiful, like a seductress, captivating her husband’s soul.

The man even said he wanted to bring that woman and her son back home, saying it was common for families to have multiple women, and no one else could interfere.

How could she tolerate it?

Later, when she saw Nian Che, she realized he looked much like his birth mother; that face was nothing but trouble.

Yet now, Nian Che was completely different from before; only upon close inspection could traces still be vaguely seen, especially those eyes, that gaze.

However, the original gaze of Nian Che, paired with such a completely unfamiliar face, only made her feel eerie and chilled to the bone.

How could one describe that feeling?

Yes, like a ghost disguised as a beautiful skin.

Knowing that beneath this shell resides a face of a different ghost.

Involuntary shivers.

”Mrs. Nian, why aren’t you speaking? You surely know what I originally looked like, right? Doesn’t Tongtong resemble me a lot?”

Nian Che asked again, still with a smile, but the tone made people feel a bit uncomfortable.

”Y-yes.” Mrs. Nian stammered.

”Why don’t you look at Tongtong?” Nian Che reached out, pinched Nian Mutong’s face, making her lift her face towards Mrs. Nian, ”Look at my daughter, Nian Che’s daughter, isn’t she beautiful? How does she compare to Chengcheng’s son? What a pity, I initially wanted a son, but ended up having a daughter, had a son, but the son’s mother wasn’t lucky and dropped him.”

His casual remarks made Chiang Xiao furrow her brows.

She instinctively felt that what Nian Che was talking about was Duan Qingqing.

Had this man harmed other women back then as well?

If Nian Mutong naturally resembled him, then back in the day, he must have indeed been extremely handsome.

It might be precisely because of his excessive confidence to the point of arrogance in his looks that Nian Chengcheng didn’t choose him, leaving him more unaccepting of the fact.

Nian Mutong still couldn’t react, remaining confused.

”But, but, uncle, I’m not part of the Nian Family...”

”Back then, I indeed used a significant condition to make those mother and son agree to give you such an identity, but how could I let you stay with the Nian Family and be taught by that bunch of idiots? I went to great lengths to bring you out.” Nian Che released the grip on her face.
