Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1337: Chapter 1338: Go Find Another Man

”What’s the deal with Duan Qingqing? Did she once save Meng Chaojun’s life, or has she borne humiliation all these years, showing Meng Xinian a mother’s tender heart?”

Listening to Du Jinruo’s words, it seemed that was the implication. Otherwise, why mention ”being able to prevent them from getting to this point today”?

Du Jinruo blushed and suddenly felt embarrassed.

”Anyway, they’re already like this, I might as well tell you so you can inform Officer Meng,” she said, sounding somewhat upset.

She had realized that Meng Xinian would never meet with her alone, so she might as well tell Chiang Xiao and have Chiang Xiao pass the message.

Maybe there was still a chance that after hearing it, Meng Xinian might want to meet her to clarify things.

”Initially, I accidentally overheard Duan Feian talking with Aunt Duan outside the courtyard, it seemed he said that before she married into the Meng Family, she had already...”

Du Jinruo struggled to articulate her words and hesitated for a while before blurting it out.

”She had already lost her innocence. Back then, fearing a marriage might expose her, she didn’t dare to be choosy any longer. Then Aunt Duan picked Uncle Meng herself, apparently used some means to create a situation where two of them had already... and then Duan Feian started making a fuss, forcing Uncle Meng to marry her.”

”Pfft!”

It wasn’t Duan Qingqing’s shamelessness that made Chiang Xiao scoff, but Du Jinruo’s thought process.

Just now, she thought Du Jinruo was going to talk about something good Duan Qingqing had done, but it turned out to be such an absurd affair!

It seemed that Duan Qingqing had already planned a trap before marrying Meng Chaojun.

”Are you sure that telling this won’t make Meng Chaojun angrier? Is this what you call helping them stabilize their family?”

”At least, knowing this, Uncle Meng will realize that Aunt Duan truly put her heart into marrying him.”

Chiang Xiao: ”...”

She couldn’t believe Du Jinruo was really that foolish.

She believed more that she wanted to drag out this disgusting matter and come up with a seemingly positive reason to get closer to Meng Xinian again.

The meals were served, and Chiang Xiao decided to just enjoy her meal.

She picked up her rice and glanced at Du Jinruo, saying, ”Comrade Du, there are plenty of good men in the world; please broaden your horizons and look for someone else, alright?”

Du Jinruo struggled to respond, whispering, ”Then why don’t you go look for one?”

Chiang Xiao silently shook her head. Never mind, it was pointless to argue with this kind of girl.

She had first met Tyrant Meng, and they were mutually in love; why should she find someone else? To let Tyrant Meng go to Du Jinruo?

What a joke!

She was truly sorry.

In her previous life, she had given up too much; in this life, she wouldn’t concede anything, neither people nor possessions.

Chiang Xiao couldn’t be bothered to talk more and just focused on eating her meal.

She was enjoying her food while Du Jinruo felt like sitting on pins and needles, finding Chiang Xiao unpleasant to the eye. However, her upbringing didn’t allow her to curse at Chiang Xiao or drop her ladylike demeanor.

She wanted to fight for Meng Xinian but couldn’t bring herself to persist relentlessly or resort to cunning schemes to seduce him.

In Chiang Xiao’s view, Du Jinruo wasn’t bad, but rather silly, not clever, and scheme-free. She was just a bit single-minded.

However, falling for Meng Xinian was her own calamity.

It had nothing to do with her, nor with Meng Xinian himself.

This lifetime, she would just have to slowly resolve it on her own.

Du Jinruo couldn’t last until the end of the meal and left in disarray not long after. Chiang Xiao leisurely finished her meal and then slowly strolled back to the courtyard.
