Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 524: Chapter 525: You’re Doomed

Zhao Xin almost slipped to the ground.

”What are you saying, Gong Xinhe? Don’t scare me!”

Last time Zhao Xin didn’t meet Chiang Xiao, as Meng Xinian had taken her away. After returning, Gong Xinhe and the others told him that the stuff was given by the sister-in-law’s sister. Zhao Xin knew that Chiang Xiao was now living with her uncle’s family, but he wasn’t very clear about the situation with the Ge Family. He always thought that the pretty little sister they talked about was some sort of cousin of Chiang Xiao. This was the first time he heard Gong Xinhe directly mention Chiang Xiao’s name, and he was scared to death on the spot.

”It’s the pretty girl we were talking about, Chiang Xiao,” Gong Xinhe, completely unaware of anything amiss, continued explaining to Zhao Xin, ”She’s still quite young, but she should be only two or three years younger than me. When I turn twenty, twenty-one or twenty-two, it’ll still be okay, right? It’s lucky you didn’t go that time, Zhao Xin. Otherwise, you, always thinking about finding a wife, would definitely have fought with me over her.”

”Gong Xinhe, I’m telling you, you’re done for...” Zhao Xin’s voice was trembling and floating. He didn’t even dare to look at Meng Xinian beside him, only feeling a cool air emanating from himself.

”What do you mean?” Gong Xinhe didn’t understand.

By this time, Meng Xinian had already spoken in a very cold voice, ”I suddenly remembered that we haven’t written our special training report and summary yet, and I have to hand it in to the Officer when I return to the Alliance District tomorrow. Gong Xinhe, you’re quite good at writing, so you’ll be in charge of it. Make sure it’s ready by 6:30 am tomorrow.”

Gong Xinhe was dumbfounded.

It took him a while to yelp, ”Why should I write it? Captain, don’t you usually write these things?”

What a joke, when had he ever been good at writing? He had no idea how to!

”What, our team doesn’t need someone who can handle clerical work in the future? Do I have to personally see to everything?” Meng Xinian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his presence became very intimidating.

Gong Xinhe shuddered within.

”But, but it needs to be ready before 6:30 am tomorrow, and it’s already 8:30 pm after watching the performance. I, I...” He estimated it would take him at least five or six hours to write it!

Gong Xinhe felt like crying without tears.

Meng Xinian retracted his gaze and said indifferently, ”You manage your time; if you really can’t make it, you don’t need to watch the performance. Afterwards, let Zhao Xin and the others tell you about it.”

He had been looking forward to it for so long, and now he had to miss out?

Gong Xinhe clutched his heart, no, it’s too much, he wanted to drop dead!

Zhao Xin, head bowed, gave Gong Xinhe a hundred-thousand-degree look of sympathy, but couldn’t help but take some joy in his misfortune. Hahaha! So the very pretty sister of the sister-in-law they’ve always talked about was Chiang Xiao herself!

He had said it, that day he clearly saw the captain with Chiang Xiao, there was no other pretty little sister!

It was hilarious.

No, he had to be even more cautious with his words. He still didn’t know if the captain was going to reveal Chiang Xiao’s identity. If he blabbed, he might get dragged into it too.

It was better to pretend as if he knew nothing.

Thus, Zhao Erleng was smart for once and kept his mouth tightly shut, not saying a word to reveal the truth.

This was exactly what Meng Xinian had in mind.

He purposely tormented Gong Xinhe because what Gong Xinhe said had annoyed and embarrassed him. What was he implying, that he and Chiang Xiao’s ages were suitable? Did that mean he was saying his age and Chiang Xiao’s didn’t match?
