Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2348 - 2284: He Cannot Let Her Down
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Chiang Xiao woke up early the following morning and sat up in bed immediately.
She was suddenly reminded of the slightly jealous remarks Meng Xinian had made the day before.
What was it again?
Her brother-in-law had given him instructions?
He was actually willing to acknowledge Cheng Cheng as his brother-in-law just because he was jealous.
Heh.
That man truly becomes childish whenever he gets jealous.
Regardless, Meng Xinian had finally provided her with Cheng Cheng’s contact details last night. She hadn't even had the chance to call him yet when Cheng Cheng’s call came through first.
It was easy to guess that she had been occupied on the phone with Meng Xinian, as he had attempted to reach her several times without success.
Chiang Xiao felt a sense of relief after her conversation with Cheng Cheng.
Knowing he had been transferred to D State for a specific mission, Cheng Cheng had given his absolute best in every aspect since his arrival.
He began by winning over his subordinates before extracting all the necessary information and gaining a comprehensive understanding of D State.
Simultaneously, he had secured trustworthy individuals to help him monitor Lu Shuangshuang’s movements.
Most importantly, he would be accompanying Ah Liu directly from the inn to the Jiang Family today.
As he had described, D State was currently in an uproar.
The news that the Sixth Young Master Jiang was alive and preparing to return to the Jiang Family to reclaim his status had spread everywhere. From government officials and business guilds down to the common citizens, everyone had been discussing the Sixth Young Master Jiang for the past two days.
Crowds were even gathered outside the inn, hoping to catch a glimpse of what the Sixth Young Master looked like now.
Many still held memories of how the Sixth Young Master Jiang appeared twenty years ago—a youth as elegant as jade.
All sorts of rumors were circulating among the public.
Some claimed he was gravely ill and had only returned to die in his homeland.
Others speculated that he had encountered great danger during those turbulent times and suffered various injuries, with some suggesting he was disfigured or disabled.
Naturally, there were more charitable theories as well.
For instance, some guessed that after drifting for so long, he might have married a village girl and lived as an ordinary farmer for over a decade, losing all traces of the nobility expected of a Young Master from a great aristocratic family.
There were also claims that his return was intended to contest the family inheritance. However, since he had been missing for twenty years while other masters assisted Old Master Jiang in managing the Jiang Family, many believed the Sixth Young Master Jiang would no longer be qualified to take over.
The speculations were endless.
Chiang Xiao had prepared herself mentally for this beforehand, so she didn’t find the situation strange.
She also maintained confidence in Ah Liu’s ability to handle these matters personally.
To be honest, Chiang Xiao wasn't worried about anything else besides that hidden enemy lurking in the shadows.
As for Lu Shuangshuang...
Cheng Cheng informed her that Lu Shuangshuang had already arrived at the Jiang Family residence two days prior.
When Chiang Xiao asked if he had seen her, Cheng Cheng replied that he hadn't.
After reaching the Jiang Family, Lu Shuangshuang had not stepped out again, as she was currently at the very center of the storm.
The Lu Family’s Shuangshuang had waited faithfully for the Sixth Young Master Jiang. People used to think she was a fool for waiting a lifetime in vain, never expecting that she would actually endure until the clouds cleared to see the bright moon upon the Sixth Young Master Jiang’s return.
Now, the people of D State were speculating over their meals about how deeply the Sixth Young Master Jiang would be moved by Lu Shuangshuang and when their grand wedding would take place.
Cheng Cheng told Chiang Xiao, "Everyone believes that regardless of whether Godfather married while he was away, he cannot do Lu Shuangshuang wrong."
"Whether he married or not? If my father truly did marry, how could he not wrong her?"
Chiang Xiao’s expression darkened as she asked, "Do they mean he should divorce his wife just to marry Lu Shuangshuang?"
She already felt a sense of foreboding. Even though she had anticipated this, it seemed the pressure from public gossip would be even heavier than she had imagined.
