Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2109: Chapter 2045: A Win-Win Situation

Because of his divorce from Duan Qingqing, he really didn’t feel much pain.

Moreover, after the divorce, he hardly thought of Duan Qingqing again, instead, he kept remembering Nian Chengcheng.

Meng Xinian clenched his fists.

He wanted to yell at Meng Chaojun, ”Come on, tell me, what did my mom do back then!”

However, reason told him that causing internal conflict in front of outsiders at this time was the dumbest thing to do. Yet, Meng Chaojun’s words felt like a thorn stabbing into his heart.

”Ha, that’s truly ridiculous. Why wouldn’t Chenger trust you? So you still don’t know, do you?” The elderly Nian chuckled as though she had heard something funny.

”Mom.”

Nian Tang quietly reminded her, and she restrained herself.

”What should I know?” Meng Chaojun couldn’t hold back any longer.

He was feeling waves of anger, and thinking about the woman who had been dead for twenty years, he found a twinge of pain in his heart, which only made him more furious and embarrassed.

”Whatever you know, just say it. Stop being so hesitant!”

Back then, it was Nian Chengcheng who wronged him.

”We’re not here to settle the old score between you and Chenger.” The elderly Nian was unwilling to keep discussing this matter. She turned her gaze to Meng Xinian. ”Since you don’t acknowledge your relatives, we have no choice but to press your head to make you bow to us, right? So, let’s get straight to the point and talk business.”

”I’m listening.”

If it weren’t for his mother’s belongings being in their hands, how could Meng Xinian be sitting here listening to their nonsense?

However, he wanted to retrieve those things, no matter what they were.

”This old mansion, your grandfather must have mentioned it to you before? The Meng and Nian families jointly owned it. He agreed to this arrangement very well. Now, here’s the thing, we want to move to Capital City but it’s so cumbersome to find a new house. I’ve heard that you bought a siheyuan over at Liuli Street, very grand, very wealthy.”

At this point, greed flashed in the elderly Nian’s eyes.

But knowing full well that they can’t possibly get that siheyuan, she forced herself to let go of that desire and continued discussing the Meng Family Old Mansion.

”Since you can live over there, and that siheyuan is larger and more beautiful than this old mansion, why not convert this old mansion into money at the current market price, see how much it’s worth, we’ll pay half the amount to you guys to buy out your Meng family’s half. We’ll live in this mansion and you move to the siheyuan.”

The elderly Nian spoke proudly, praising herself, ”See, isn’t this a win-win situation? Sounds great, right? In the future, our Nian Family can also reside in Capital City. No matter how many stepmothers your dad finds for you, you can always rely on your maternal family and come home whenever you want. What do you think?”

Meng Xinian revealed a look that was almost a smile.

What do I think?

He really admired this old lady.

Surely, this was also thanks to Nian Tang’s effort.

They certainly had some rosy thoughts.

He didn’t respond, and the elderly Nian looked at his extraordinarily handsome face, his posture seated exuding a commanding presence, and couldn’t help but continue, ”I’ve heard you already have a fiancée? A country girl? With your qualifications, why marry a country girl? I have a niece from my maternal side who’s nineteen this year, incredibly beautiful, and my niece is currently a town official. The girl herself is a primary school teacher...”
