Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3114: Chapter 3050: Daily Battles

”Enough already, you still want to go show off?” Meng Xinian kicked him. ”Go back to your own ward, stop hanging around here and disturbing me talking with my wife.”

Dai Gang had no choice but to stand up. ”Alright, then I’m going back.”

As soon as he left, Jiang Xiao sat down on the edge of his bed. ”So, is there something you want to say?”

”How’s the wedding prep going? Little, I’m sorry, all this still has to be prepared by you alone. I should’ve been part of it.”

”What’s there to feel embarrassed about? Besides, it’s not just me doing the prep. Grandpa is helping me, and Aunt Meng and Wang Yi are helping too.”

Jiang Xiao didn’t want him feeling guilty, so she said, ”It’s pretty much all ready. We’ll definitely be able to hold the wedding on schedule.”

”Right, we definitely can. Okay, old rule—tell me what happened after I left?”

When she heard him ask this, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help laughing.

She told him about the mess the Gao Family had been making these past few days. Of course, when she mentioned Nian Mutong almost drowning Snow Ball, Jiang Xiao was still furious.

”I’m definitely going to settle accounts with her,” she said coldly. ”But for now the Gao Family won’t be having it easy anyway. Gao Ming and Madam Gao will make her suffer plenty. I’ll wait, and after we’re married I’ll go and settle the score with her.”

Right now she really did have to throw herself completely into getting the wedding ready.

”Is Snow Ball doing okay now?” Hearing her bring this up, Meng Xinian’s gaze turned cold as well.

Nian Mutong.

”She’s fine now, already bouncing around again,” Jiang Xiao said. ”That’s why I can afford to let Nian Mutong idle away a few more days. If anything had happened to Snow Ball, you think I’d ever let her off?”

”Good, then we’ll wait until after we’re married to go settle accounts with her.” Meng Xinian reached out and rubbed her hair. ”For these few days you just focus on treating my injuries so I can show up at the wedding looking suave and handsome. Nothing’s more important than that.”

He really cared way too much.

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help wanting to laugh again.

”Got it. You won’t have a single scar left, okay?”

These days the Gao Family really was a complete mess.

Gao Ming and Gao Wei, father and son, were going at it every day. Gao Wei just wouldn’t accept Gao Ming’s arrangement to send him to Dian Town, and he stuck to Nian Mutong every day, as if terrified they’d do something to her.

This was really enough to make them die of anger.

Originally Gao Ming had wanted to compromise for his son, find him a relatively good position. But after this whole incident, whenever others mentioned Gao Wei, they all had this subtle expression on their faces, and some even tactfully advised that it’d be better if he didn’t make any moves for the time being. On top of feeling stifled, he also felt utterly humiliated.

He had never been this humiliated.

So right now he really couldn’t take any action; he could only keep coaxing Gao Wei to go off to Dian Town, down to the grassroots to work as a beat cop.

At least it’s a small place with few people and no big incidents—just some trivial crap to muddle through the days and build up some seniority. After a year, once the impact of this matter has faded, he’ll figure out a way to transfer him back.

The internal struggle in the Gao Family dragged on for nearly half a month.

Gao Ming played the bad cop, Madam Gao the good cop—threatening, scolding, and cajoling all together—until they finally got Gao Wei to agree to report to Dian City.

Of course Nian Mutong didn’t want him to go. When she learned he’d agreed to report to Dian City, she felt like the sky was about to collapse.

These half a month had been torment for her too. In Gao Ming and Madam Gao’s eyes, she felt like she’d become the sinner of the Gao Family.
