Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2339 - 2275: Something Feels Strange

If his bones are truly missing, then how is he currently standing upright!

Were they witnessing a supernatural event, or had everyone’s vision failed them simultaneously?

Gao Ming was consumed by a mix of agitation and fury, while his wife remained in a state of panic, her face drenched in tears.

"What happened? What on earth is going on?"

"Administer a sedative; we are transferring to another hospital to investigate this!" Gao Ming commanded, making an immediate executive decision.

The doctor broke out in a cold sweat the moment he realized the patient was Gao Ming’s son. Upon hearing the order to transfer Gao Wei, a sense of profound relief washed over him.

He wanted them gone as quickly as possible; managing such a bizarre situation was beyond his capabilities. If things weren't handled perfectly, he wouldn't be able to survive the fallout.

The transfer protocols for Gao Wei were finalized swiftly. Following a sedative injection, Gao Wei drifted back into unconsciousness.

In the adjacent room, Kuang Yunxian and Du Jinruo listened to the chaos in silence, remaining perfectly still.

They had intended to depart earlier, but after overhearing Gao Ming's declarations, they chose to wait to avoid a direct confrontation at the exit.

Once the path was clear, Du Jinruo assisted Kuang Yunxian as they walked out of the medical facility.

"What do you suppose actually happened to Gao Wei?" Du Jinruo couldn't resist asking.

Kuang Yunxian shook his head in uncertainty. "I can't be sure. We don't know the details of what transpired after we left. It’s possible that Xiao Chiang wasn't the one who struck him."

Du Jinruo, however, remained convinced that Chiang Xiao was responsible.

Recalling Chiang Xiao’s earlier confidence, who else could have possibly done it?

Still, the fact that Gao Wei had been driven to such a state of madness was deeply perplexing to them.

For reasons she couldn't quite explain, Du Jinruo found herself feeling a flicker of concern for Chiang Xiao.

"Yunxian, do you believe Gao Ming will try to bring trouble to Chiang Xiao?"

Kuang Yunxian let out a heavy sigh.

While he shared those worries, he suspected that if Chiang Xiao had the audacity to act, she must have prepared for the repercussions.

"We should go and inform her."

"Are you physically up for it?"

"Yes, I can manage."

"I'm just uncertain if she will even be at home."

"I am aware of her residence's location; let’s just head there."

At that moment, Chiang Xiao was just departing from the teahouse. The establishment’s snacks and tea were as excellent as ever, and because Gao Wei hadn't caused a scene today, the business was thriving.

By the time she stepped out, the place was packed to capacity.

Chiang Xiao walked home at a leisurely pace, carrying a bag of items.

Having released her frustrations earlier that day, her mood had improved significantly. Seeing the teahouse business doing so well brought her a sense of peace.

During her walk back, Chiang Xiao made a detour to locate the house Luo Yongsheng had secured. She wanted to ensure she knew exactly where to find him in the future if the need arose.

She had instructed Luo Yongsheng to handle the rental. Finding the environment suitable, she had committed to a one-year lease.

Once the place was tidied up and furnished with the essentials, they would be able to move in.

"Have Ding Haijing come over here."

Luo Yongsheng nodded in acknowledgment and headed toward the guest house.

Meanwhile, Chiang Xiao accompanied Guan Tiezhu back to the courtyard.

To her surprise, as she passed by Kuang Yunxian’s property, she noticed the gate was wide open.

Even though they had helped Kuang Yunxian reclaim the house, he hadn't actually moved in yet despite having it cleaned. Seeing the open door now made Chiang Xiao pause.

Du Jinruo stepped out at that moment. Upon spotting her, she spoke instinctively, "Chiang Xiao, you've finally returned?"

Chiang Xiao: "..."

Eh?

Why did this interaction feel so bizarre?

She and Du Jinruo had never been on friendly terms. While she never truly viewed Du Jinruo as a romantic competitor—knowing there was zero chance Meng Xinian would ever reciprocate Du Jinruo's feelings—they did have a history of conflict years ago because of her.

Fine, in reality, it was mostly just her being a troublemaker back then.
