Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2345 - 2281: How Is That Unethical?

It was no exaggeration for Chiang Xiao to say she would prepare a hundred Peace Talisman diagrams for Meng Xinian if he were eventually deployed.

At this moment, she was even contemplating whether she could simply accompany him.

However, upon further reflection, she knew Meng Xinian would never agree to such a thing.

"Brother Xinian, what did you actually do to them?"

Chiang Xiao was genuinely curious, burning with the desire to know how Meng Xinian had dealt with those individuals.

Meng Xinian replied with an air of indifference, "It was nothing major. There is an old septic tank in town that has been neglected for years. Today, I organized the men into teams for a competition; the losing side was tasked with cleaning it. Additionally, a village under Anbu is planning to develop a mushroom-growing industry this year. Since the local transportation is poor, they must gather cow dung from neighboring villages to prepare the cultivation soil. During transport, someone often manages to flip the carts, spilling manure everywhere. Our team is helping clear the roads, and the losers are stuck with that job as well."

*Poof.*

That certainly sounds... pungent.

Hearing this, Chiang Xiao could practically smell the overwhelming stench in her imagination.

She couldn't stop herself from giggling, "Isn’t that a little bit cruel?"

"Hmm?" Meng Xinian’s voice dropped into a serious, deep tone, "Serving the citizens, performing practical labor, and doing good deeds—how can you call that cruel? They ought to be overflowing with enthusiasm to participate in such activities."

"So, did your team come out on top?"

"When have you ever known me to lose?"

How arrogant.

Suddenly remembering Ding Haijing’s words from earlier, Chiang Xiao immediately inquired, "If you had to compete against Wei Yixi, which one of you would win?"

"Wei Yixi?" The moment that name reached his ears, Meng Xinian’s expression darkened. Why was she bringing him up all of a sudden?

"Don't pretend you don't know him. I heard there's a saying within the alliance: 'Wei of the Sea and Meng of the Land.'"

Meng Xinian questioned her, "Who told you that? Has Ding Haijing arrived?"

"Yes, I met him just this afternoon."

"That brat definitely talks too much. You don't need to pay him much mind usually."

It appeared that Meng Xinian was indeed acquainted with Ding Haijing.

Chiang Xiao briefly considered mentioning that Ding Haijing felt strangely familiar to her, but after a second thought, she kept it to herself. If he happened to be someone from her previous life, she didn't want to risk any slips of the tongue in front of Meng Xinian.

However, she still needed to confirm if the man was reliable.

"He’s trustworthy, right? There are no issues with him?"

Following a brief pause, Meng Xinian answered, "There are no issues. He is trustworthy."

"Oh." Chiang Xiao suddenly realized he had dodged her earlier question. "You still haven't told me who is stronger between you and Wei Yixi."

"Why are you so interested in him?" Meng Xinian’s face grew even gloomier. He had no desire to discuss Wei Yixi with Chiang Xiao. Among their peers, if there was anyone he truly respected as a formidable rival, it was Wei Yixi.

Furthermore, Wei Lengmian had previously made the shocking suggestion of introducing Chiang Xiao to Wei Yixi, which had put Meng Xinian on high alert.

From what he knew, Wei Yixi had already left a trail of broken hearts—

It seemed every girl who met him ended up infatuated, yet he remained cold and merciless to them all. Countless young women had been left devastated by him.

In contrast, Meng Xinian’s own social circle had never allowed any girls to get close.

Yes, thinking about it that way, he was clearly a much better man than that fellow.

"Didn't I say it? 'Wei of the Sea and Meng of the Land.' You are both famous, so I'm just curious." Chiang Xiao suddenly let out a soft laugh, "Brother Xinian, could it be that you can't beat him, and that's why you won't talk about it?"
