Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3160: Chapter 3096: Scared to Death

Cui Zhenyan was almost scared to death by Jiang Xiao.

In the middle of the night, he had finally fallen asleep, not long after which someone quietly approached his bedside and reached out to nudge him.

Cui Zhenyan woke up with a start, opening his eyes to see someone standing beside his bed.

He slept without leaving any night lamps on, and the bedroom was engulfed in darkness, with only a little faint light coming in from outside the window. As a result, he could only vaguely make out a person and couldn’t clearly see their appearance, not even whether it was a man or a woman.

His heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

Just as he was about to scream, Jiang Xiao spoke up.

”Officer Cui, it’s me.”

”Jiang Xiao?”

Recognizing Jiang Xiao’s voice, Cui Zhenyan nearly fainted.

Jiang Xiao responded with a soft ”Hmm, it’s me, don’t be scared.”

”Oh my God, Jiang Xiao, what are you doing? Do you know what time it is? How did you get in?” Cui Zhenyan said as he turned on the bedside lamp.

Only then did he clearly see Jiang Xiao’s face.

It was her.

He picked up his watch from the bedside and glanced at it, seeing that it was 4:45 in the morning.

He was still stunned, wondering why Jiang Xiao was here at this hour.

Moreover, how exactly did she get in?

”Officer Cui, I must apologize first, I’m really sorry, but the situation was urgent, so I sneaked in.”

”Sneaked in?”

Cui Zhenyan almost fainted again. Was it really so easy to enter the Cui Family home?

”I have something urgent to discuss with you, so I had no choice. You only gave me until tomorrow morning, so I couldn’t wait until daylight,” Jiang Xiao said innocently.

So, in the end, was it his fault?

Cui Zhenyan stayed dazed for a moment before realizing.

No, what she was talking about, was it that matter?

Did she really come up with a way?

But surely her method should have involved finding a solution with Li Hanzhong, right?

”Jiang Xiao, you don’t have to do this. Even if I did give Lu Zhenggang approval, it wouldn’t mean you have no chance at all, right? You could still figure something out with your uncle, couldn’t you?”

He spoke helplessly, pulling back the covers to get up and put on a coat.

Jiang Xiao’s actions were indeed alarming. How could she just come here in the middle of the night?

Didn’t she fear getting into trouble?

If she were caught, he wouldn’t even know how to save her. Her reputation would suffer terribly.

”But I already have a way,” Jiang Xiao said, moving slightly away, pulling a chair up to his desk and sitting down with a remarkably calm demeanor, looking at Cui Zhenyan. ”Did Officer Cui not say that you don’t like the tricks Gao Ming plays either?”

Hearing this, Cui Zhenyan was taken aback, suddenly turning his head to look at her.

”What do you mean by that?”

”Officer Cui, you know what Gao Ming plans to do against you, right?” Jiang Xiao said, ”In fact, if that one thing he mentioned can threaten you, then it won’t be just this time. In the future, he can always use it to threaten you, can’t he? Does Officer Cui want to be at the mercy of Gao Ming and his group, with no choice but to comply?”

Of course, he didn’t want that!

But he couldn’t get in touch with Niu Xiaoqin, and he didn’t know what to do. Where had Niu Xiaoqin gone at this time, and had she really fallen into the hands of Gao Ming and his group?

If Niu Xiaoqin had indeed fallen into their hands, what could he do?

”I’ve already said it, Jiang Xiao, this matter is not for you to handle. You can’t handle it.”
