Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2373: Chapter 2309: A Bit Softhearted

Seeing Old Meng still somewhat puzzled, she managed to pull out a smile.

”Didn’t I already change to calling you Dad before? So...”

Old Meng suddenly became excited, ”Little, are you saying that you consider us family now?”

”Yes.”

Chiang Xiao’s throat felt a bit tight, making it difficult to say much.

She thought she used to be truly heartless, facing situations like this, she might remain indifferent because she always forgot the miserable life and being played like a fool in her past life.

She also always remembered the vow she made upon rebirth, that she wouldn’t be overly nice anymore, wouldn’t be soft-hearted.

That’s how she acted over the past few years.

Why has her heart softened now?

Is it because she has a father now?

Thinking about Ah Liu’s gentleness, Chiang Xiao didn’t find it as difficult to speak.

”Grandpa, I’ll regularly send the potion back. I noticed Dad’s chemotherapy isn’t working well, perhaps it’s worth trying my potion again. What do you think?”

”Great, great, great! Use your medicine, use yours, yours is good!”

Old Meng said excitedly, turning around.

Chiang Xiao pretended she didn’t see him wipe away tears.

Turning her head, she saw Ding Haijing sitting not far away, watching her with a somewhat odd expression.

This Ding Haijing really makes her feel a bit strange.

But Meng Xinian said he can be trusted.

Honestly, if Meng Xinian hadn’t assured her so much, she would have guarded herself against Ding Haijing.

Soon, the doctor opened the door and came towards them.

”Old Meng.”

”Doctor Xu, how is it?”

Fortunately, this emergency doctor, Doctor Xu, was already somewhat familiar to Old Meng.

Hearing them greet like this, Chiang Xiao knew the number of times Meng Chaojun had been sent in must be quite frequent.

As expected, Doctor Xu said: ”Last time I told Alliance Officer Meng, given the situation, it’s best to be hospitalized, but he insisted on refusing. Today’s examination results aren’t optimistic, there’s a sign of spreading, hospitalization is needed.”

Old Meng’s figure swayed, and Chiang Xiao had already steadfastly supported him.

”Hasn’t he been undergoing chemotherapy all this time?” she asked.

”Who is this?” Doctor Xu looked at Chiang Xiao. He didn’t recognize her, just had never seen her come before, curious about her connection.

”This is...” Old Meng glanced at Chiang Xiao.

He actually hesitated to self-assertively reveal Chiang Xiao’s identity.

Chiang Xiao has a strong personality; she just agreed to regularly send medicine to Meng Chaojun. If a word displeased her, perhaps the mended relationship might stiffen again.

Chiang Xiao sensed his hesitation, unable to avoid sweating a little.

Is she really that domineering?

”The patient is my father-in-law, my name is Jiang Xiao.” Chiang Xiao intentionally wanted to adjust her name from Doctor Xu onward, but since Jiang and Chiang are homophones, it went unnoticed.

So it was her...

Doctor Xu suddenly understood.

Wasn’t it said that Meng Chaojun didn’t have good relations with his son and future daughter-in-law?

Now it seems that’s not the case?

”Young Lady Meng,” he immediately addressed.

Chiang Xiao sweated again.

This title, why does it feel so awkward?

Yet, she didn’t know Doctor Xu was also from an Aristocratic Family, where such titles were commonly used, not used to calling comrades.

”Here’s the situation, with such illness, chemotherapy can’t guarantee 100% that it will cure or control the mutated cells, we all wish for a good outcome, but now deterioration has indeed occurred, so the previous treatment plan is no longer suitable. We will hold another consultation and develop a new treatment plan.”
