Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2970: Chapter 2906: Let’s Talk Somewhere Else

Aunt Meng and the others were in the kitchen tidying up and washing dishes.

What surprised Jiang Xiao a lot was that Xie Landi was still there; she had stayed behind, saying she wanted to help Aunt Meng wash the dishes.

Aunt Meng looked very happy, and Xie Landi didn’t look like she was being forced, so Jiang Xiao didn’t say anything.

Meng Sheng, however, took Jiang Xiao’s car and drove Wang Lili and Qin Xiaojun and the others home.

”I heard as soon as I got back that Hu Xiangyong is dead.”

It was only then that Wei Yixi finally got to the point.

The reason he came over this time was originally to get a handle on this matter.

Previously, Jiang Xiao and Ding Haijing had asked him to help investigate Hu Xiangyong; he had pretty much finished checking into it, but unexpectedly, just as he got back, he suddenly received the news that Hu Xiangyong was dead.

After he died, even the body had been taken away, and when he tried to look into it, people blocked him.

So that’s why he came here; it wasn’t that he specially came to freeload off their welcome‑back dinner.

Meng Xinian glanced at Jiang Xiao, and Jiang Xiao looked out the window, then at the floor, then at her own hands.

Seeing her act like that, Wei Yixi couldn’t help but laugh.

”Xiao Chiang didn’t get hurt, right?”

Hearing him ask that, Jiang Xiao knew he must have already gotten the whole story of that day clear.

She shook her head. ”Old Ding and the others got a few minor scrapes, I’m fine.”

”Old Ding?”

Ding Haijing?

Originally, Meng Xinian and Jiang Xiao had asked Ding Haijing and the others to come along, but Ding Haijing and Luo Yongsheng said they might as well take the day off, that the few of them would just get some grilled meat and liquor to take back and drink; once they were drunk, they could just toss themselves onto the bed and have a good sleep.

So none of them came over today.

When Meng Xinian heard her mention Ding Haijing again, he suddenly remembered what Wei Yixi had told him, something he still hadn’t told Jiang Xiao.

This time back, he’d found that Jiang Xiao got along well with Ding Haijing and the others, and she obviously trusted Ding Haijing quite a bit.

”Yeah, Ding Haijing,” Jiang Xiao said.

Meng Xinian heard a car outside; it should be Meng Sheng back. He pulled Jiang Xiao up and said to Wei Yixi, ”Let’s go somewhere else to talk.”

Wei Yixi had been thinking the same thing, so he stood up as well.

”I’ll go tell Xie Landi, see if she wants to come with us; if she does, we can give her a ride.”

Jiang Xiao felt it wasn’t great to just leave Xie Landi here like this.

”Go ahead, Old Wei and I will wait for you in the car.”

”Old Wei?” Wei Yixi gave him a look.

Meng Xinian said, ”Hearing my wife call him Old Ding, I figured calling you Old Wei sounds pretty good too.

They walked outside just as Meng Sheng was coming in; he tossed the keys to Meng Xinian.

”Heading back? Where’s Xiao Chiang?”

”She’ll be right out.”

Jiang Xiao went to the kitchen and saw Xie Landi busy with an apron on. From the way she washed the dishes, she obviously hadn’t done it just a few times before; she was a dab hand at housework.

”Xie Landi, we’re heading out. Are you going back to school? We can give you a lift.”

As soon as she heard that, Xie Landi wanted to agree; Jiang Xiao and the others were probably leaving together with Wei Yixi, right? Wouldn’t that mean she could spend a bit more time with him?

Not so many people around, just the few of them.

She’d originally thought they could all stay here a while longer.

Aunt Meng hurriedly said, ”Xiao Chiang, I’ll have A‑Sheng take Landi back later. He’s off today anyway and doesn’t have anything to do. If you and Xinian need to go, you head off first.”

Jiang Xiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Looked like Aunt Meng really had shifted her target and taken a liking to Xie Landi?

But if she knew about Xie Landi’s family situation, would she still like her?
