Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 822: Chapter 823: There Is a Smell of Blood

When did Meng Xinian become so thoughtful, remembering all these things?

But now he suddenly feels that he can understand.

Such a beautiful Chiang Xiao, Chiang Xiao who can make such a fragrant hotpot base, Chiang Xiao who conducts herself with such composure, may have already seized his heart tightly.

Even he had forgotten that she was not yet fifteen while being here this whole time.

Chiang Xiao stood up and said, ”You guys go ahead and eat, I’m going to take a walk outside.”

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

Chu Liang immediately stood up: ”I’ll go with you. Do you want to buy something?”

Chiang Xiao shook her head. ”No, I just don’t have an appetite, you guys eat.” Saying this, she walked over to the couch, picked up her coat, slipped it on, and headed outside.

When she left, she closed the gate behind her.

”Let her go,” Chiang Songhai said when he saw Chen Yin also put down his chopsticks. ”Little probably is thinking of Xinian who’s whereabouts are still unknown, feeling upset. Let her walk it off.”

Chiang Songhai didn’t understand his own psychology either.

Seeing Chiang Xiao in a bad mood, he actually felt a slight sense of relief.

This semester, Chiang Xiao had mostly been with classmates, especially that Yu Hang. He and his wife had always been worried that Chiang Xiao would forget Meng Xinian.

But that wouldn’t do. After all, they were already betrothed. If she forgot Meng Xinian and became close with Yu Hang instead, they would feel like they were betraying Meng Xinian’s trust and goodwill.

Now it seems that Chiang Xiao still has Meng Xinian in her heart.

Of course, he was also always worried about Meng Xinian.

Chiang Xiao went outside and looked around.

The air was cold.

Suddenly, she moved the wings of her nose, as if she smelled a faint trace of blood.

It was coming from under the streetlamp at the mouth of the alley ahead.

Chiang Xiao walked over there; at that moment, two women came out of the alley, both wearing cotton-padded clothes, shivering with cold, complaining as they walked along.

”What has that got to do with me? Mom, you’re not young anymore, yet you still throw yourself at men. You might be shameless, but I still have my dignity!”

The other, older voice retorted, ”You ungrateful girl, how can you speak to your mother like that? Deadbeat, if I hadn’t met a man back then, could I have given birth to you? You wouldn’t even know in which corner of the netherworld you’d be waiting to be reincarnated!”

”Then you should’ve opened your eyes wider! That man just now didn’t look like someone you could mess with, might even be some kind of villain!”

”You know nothing! Mom’s run out of money now. I had a lover back in Peace Town, but his daughter-in-law is tough to deal with, very strict, and the old guy couldn’t cough up much money. Didn’t you see that man just now? Built like that, let me tell you, he’s surely sturdy! He didn’t look like a pauper to me.”

”Whether he’s a pauper or not, he wouldn’t fancy you. How old are you now? That man looked at most in his twenties.” The younger voice sounded very familiar, and she said somewhat blankly, ”But, I don’t know why, he seemed a bit familiar to me?”

Chiang Xiao had already pressed herself into the corner of the wall, avoiding them, as soon as she recognized the voice.

That young woman’s voice she recognized; it was Zhang Xiaomei.

Zhang Xiaomei, the woman who initially tried to scam her after bumping into her, and later got dealt with at the police station because of the matter with Wu Zhiyuan.

The house that Chiang Xiao bought was from Zhang Xiaomei’s sister-in-law’s uncle’s family.
