Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2292: Chapter 2228: Is This a Threat

Chiang Xiao gently patted his back.

Meng Xinian turned around, not letting her see the tears in his eyes, and directly pulled her into his embrace, resting his chin on her shoulder.

”Little, can you save him?”

”Yes.”

Chiang Xiao didn’t hesitate, responding directly, and then she felt Meng Xinian’s body suddenly relax.

”Brother Xinian, you won’t be feeling guilty for a long time, always like this, will you?” She said with some disdain, ”Then I’ll leave tomorrow.”

Meng Xinian immediately stood up straight, holding her shoulders and looking at her, ”Try leaving.”

”Can you break my leg?” Chiang Xiao widened her eyes.

Meng Xinian’s eyes showed a glimmer of laughter.

”How could I bear to? I’ll kiss you until you faint, so you can’t leave.”

He was never such a conflicted person. Earlier, he was just overwhelmed by the shock and couldn’t handle it for a moment. But the worst didn’t happen, and Little brought him hope. How could he continue to feel guilty and sink into depression?

Chiang Xiao punched him lightly, ”Bring the veggies!”

”Yes, ma’am!”

They took the vegetables downstairs to prepare a meal. However, Long Xiaocai had already found Sister-in-law Chen, asking her to gather Chen Yujun and the others to go to Meng Xinian’s dorm.

”I heard the wife of Great Officer Meng is here,” Sister-in-law Chen was a bit uneasy, ”Little Cai, maybe we should drop this. I heard Officer Meng’s wife is very pretty and even a painter...”

”Does Deputy Director Chen want to climb higher? I heard he’s been in this position for quite a while.” Long Xiaocai interrupted her, speaking calmly.

Sister-in-law Chen immediately fell silent.

Long Xiaocai glanced at her and said, ”I said, even if Meng Xinian likes Chiang Xiao a lot, in the end, he’s still very likely to choose me. Sister-in-law Chen, didn’t you say you’d do your best to help me?”

”I, I did promise, but our Old Chen...”

Chen Yujun didn’t know what was going on at all. He really thought she was being kindly and wanted to introduce a better match for Meng Xinian.

And just earlier, he scolded her severely, saying that Meng Xinian’s wife had already shown up, so if she kept meddling, Meng Xinian might really get angry, and he wouldn’t be able to protect her.

Sister-in-law Chen was truly scared.

That someone, Zhao Ren’s wife, originally introduced a girl named Zhai Cuixin too, but it was said Zhao Ren scolded her as well, and now they’ve sent Zhai Cuixin away.

She originally wanted to tell Long Xiaocai to drop this too and to leave quickly.

But when she heard what Long Xiaocai said, Sister-in-law Chen was immediately frightened.

”Old Chen in your family, does he want to participate in that mission?” Long Xiaocai slowly asked.

Sister-in-law Chen panicked and waved her hands desperately, ”No, no, no! Little Cai, please talk to your uncle about this. Our Old Chen is too old for such missions. He’s the pillar of our two families. If anything happens to him, we wouldn’t be able to live.”

”As long as you sincerely help me, Deputy Director Chen won’t be on the mission list.”

”I, I...” Sister-in-law Chen clutched the hem of her clothes, nodding frantically.

”Now, let’s go find Deputy Director Chen and Vice Commissioner Zhao. Since Chiang Xiao is here, they’re likely going to cook tonight. You prepare two dishes as well, and we’ll bring them over together. Just say it’s lively with more people and help him celebrate his first cooking session. He couldn’t possibly drive us all out, right?”

”I, I’ll go right now.”
