Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1529: Chapter 1531: She Still Has Him

”Mother-in-law? I haven’t even called her mom yet, and you’re already thinking about acknowledging a mother-in-law?”

Meng Xinian immediately corrected himself, ”That woman is Chiang Qingzhu?”

Yeah, all this mother-in-law stuff, only the mom that Chiang Xiaoxiao acknowledges could truly take on that role.

”Yeah. Isn’t it super melodramatic?”

Meng Xinian felt a complex mix of emotions when she confirmed it.

He had heard about that woman from the Kong Family since he was a child. Even Duan Qingqing once mentioned her, saying Xiao Fang really had no shame, her husband favored a concubine, and she even helped take care of her.

The whole Capital City was once abuzz with it.

But Kuang Kanzhi was determined to protect that woman, to the extent that no one was allowed to see her.

It was only in the past two or three years that the woman began to show her face occasionally.

Those who had seen her said she was stunningly beautiful, and probably no man could resist her; between the lines, some seemed to think Kuang Kanzhi’s fondness for her was understandable.

He had only heard such stories a few times. After leaving the Capital, he devoted himself to the Alliance District and then put all his effort into his little girl. How could he pay attention to anyone else’s business?

But he had never, ever imagined that this woman would turn out to be Chiang Xiaoxiao’s biological mother!

Nor had he ever envisioned such a bizarre twist of fate!

Seeing how upset Chiang Xiaoxiao looked, could it be that she was concerned about the relationship between Chiang Qingzhu and Kuang Kanzhi? But it made sense; he himself was feeling quite complex about it, let alone her?

”So, your biological father...”

”It’s not Kuang Kanzhi,” Chiang Xiao said.

Better a man with the mind of a child than Kuang Kanzhi.

If her father were Kuang Kanzhi, she wouldn’t be able to remain this calm; she would feel murderous inside.

To go from being an illegitimate child to the illegitimate child of a mistress, with her mother continuously playing the mistress and having such a sister, she might as well bang her head against the wall.

So, compared to Kuang Kanzhi, that mentally challenged man was much better.

Meng Xinian also breathed a small sigh of relief.

He didn’t really care, he could handle any gossip thrown his way, but he didn’t want his little girl to be harmed.

If she were Kuang Kanzhi’s daughter, then all that family’s troubles would fall onto her head. Even if she weren’t afraid, it would still be a nauseating mess of problems.

”How did you come across her? Tell me about it,” he sat down again.

At this moment, Chiang Xiao really needed someone to talk to, and with Meng Xinian, she didn’t carry any psychological burden and didn’t need to consider her choice of words.

She recounted from start to finish about her encounter with Kuang Kanzhi and Chiang Qingzhu at the hospital that morning, repeating everything Chiang Qingzhu had said.

Knowing that she couldn’t tie up the line for too long, she spoke very quickly.

Meng Xinian still caught every word she said.

He suddenly felt very sorry for his little girl.

Especially when he heard what Chiang Qingzhu had said later, he could imagine how agitated Chiang Xiao must have felt at that moment.

”Little, go have some water, and I’ll call you back in five minutes.”

She had said so much, he was worried she might be thirsty.

Besides, the phone line shouldn’t be tied up for too long.

Chiang Xiao made a sound of acknowledgment, hung up the phone, and scooped up a cup of Spiritual Spring Water to drink from Space.

The cool, slightly sweet water soothed her throat and made her feel much better.

Moreover, the most important thing was that she had spoken her mind; letting it out instead of bottling it up made her feel much more comfortable.

In fact, Meng Xinian didn’t need to say much; just listening to his deep, magnetic voice was comforting. It made her feel reassured deep inside that no matter what, she still had him.
