Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2989: Chapter 2925: Fainting

Cheng Cheng and Meng Xinian exchanged a glance. Both turned around at the same time and followed out the door, trailing Jiang Xiao at a few meters’ distance, walking along the seaside.

Watching her slowly walk ahead, occasionally bending down to sift through the sand, picking up seashells and such, Cheng Cheng said to Meng Xinian, ”Is she in such a good mood?”

Meng Xinian gave him a cold sideways glance, ”Are you saying she should be in a bad mood?”

”Don’t argue. I mean, with so much happening, hasn’t she ever felt irritable or downcast?”

”Of course, she has. How could she not?” Meng Xinian also gazed at Jiang Xiao, sighed lightly, and said, ”But I know Little is stronger than anyone, and her ability to cope is also quite good. She knows how to console herself.”

”Clearly just a girl in her teens, why so strong?” Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but mutter.

He glanced at Meng Xinian again and said, ”Speaking of which, it’s partly your fault that she has to be so strong. Always facing these things alone, do you think she could manage if she weren’t strong?”

Meng Xinian’s gaze remained fixed on Jiang Xiao.

He wanted to protect her, shield her from the wind and rain, but he knew Jiang Xiao wasn’t someone that fragile. Moreover, he liked her and loved her precisely because of her strength, didn’t he?

He would love her, because she wasn’t the type of woman who would only hide behind him crying, panicking at the slightest trouble.

So, she was just herself, and he never thought of changing her into a fragile little girl just because he wanted to protect her.

”I’ll attend your wedding.” Cheng Cheng wasn’t expecting an answer to his previous question.

”Prepare the cash gift,” Meng Xinian responded with only this sentence.

”Pfft.” Cheng Cheng sniffed, ”The gift is for Little. You can’t use it.”

He had already decided. Nothing else, he’d give Jiang Xiao a box of gold jewelry, gold.

All golden and dazzling, it looked festive.

And it was meant for Jiang Xiao. Meng Xinian wouldn’t take her gold jewelry, would he?

Ridiculousness.

Everyone planning to give wedding gifts only to Jiang Xiao?

All afraid he would take them?

What do they take him for?

This played right into his hands. He didn’t really want anything, so giving everything to Jiang Xiao was best.

The more she received, the happier he was.

They bickered for a while before returning to the main topic.

”You settled matters over there?”

”Almost.”

”What’s your plan of action?”

”There’s no shortage of manpower. Just waiting for Godfather’s decision, catching people or managing the scene won’t be a problem.”

”Don’t make it sound like some criminal jargon.”

”Heh,” Cheng Cheng chuckled, ”Tyrant Meng, do you think you’re so righteous? By the way, you didn’t go to Country U just to come back and still be the team leader, right?”

”Whatever it is, my goal hasn’t changed.”

”What goal?”

”Guess.”

Jiang Xiao, with a pocketful of shells and small conches, turned around to see the two men slowly walking towards her in the sunlight. She was about to wave and talk to them when suddenly she felt a dizziness, and everything went black as she softly collapsed.

Meng Xinian and Cheng Cheng’s faces changed drastically, and they rushed towards her.

”Little!”

Jiang Xiao felt as if she had come down with a severe fever.

Her head was dizzy and heavy, her consciousness floating and sinking, seemingly lucid, yet somewhat hallucinatory.

In her daze, she seemed to have returned to that building.
