Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2352 - 2288: Heated Discussion

With an event of this magnitude occurring within the Jiang Family, people were naturally eager to witness the spectacle while seeking opportunities to profit.

In addition to the curious onlookers, members of the media had swarmed the area; such a monumental news story was simply too significant to overlook.

Initially, the crowd was thick with the sound of chaotic chatter and buzzing voices, but the moment the gates of the Jiang Family swung open, a sudden hush fell over everyone.

"They're coming out, they're coming out!"

As the figures began to emerge, it became clear that the arrival of the Sixth Young Master Jiang was imminent.

Chen Baoshen and Chen Yiping remained close to Old Master Jiang. Given his advanced age and the severe hardships he had recently endured, they were deeply concerned. While Chiang Xiao’s medicinal potion had aided his recovery, the physical toll of his years remained; they feared that excessive emotional turmoil might cause the patriarch to lose consciousness.

Furthermore, they needed to monitor the Sixth Young Master closely upon his arrival.

It hadn't been long since the Sixth Young Master had undergone a major surgical procedure.

While the imposing aura of the Jiang Family inside was already overwhelming, seeing the massive sea of spectators outside was even more jarring.

It was no wonder the Sixth Young Master had cautioned Chiang Xiao against appearing just yet.

Public opinion held that the Sixth Young Master could not possibly let Lu Shuangshuang down. If he suddenly appeared with a grown daughter in tow, any loose-tongued individual saying something inappropriate would only serve to hurt Chiang Xiao.

Furthermore, burdened by their own biases, no one could predict how the Jiang Family would actually receive her.

Consequently, it was deemed wiser for the Sixth Young Master to make his initial return alone.

This choice proved to be the correct one.

The silence gripping the crowd lasted for only a few brief seconds.

As soon as Lu Shuangshuang was spotted, the crowd's gossiping instincts were triggered, and the whispering resumed in earnest.

"Look quickly, look! The woman dressed in the white cheongsam is Miss Lu."

"Where? Oh, I see her now."

"Miss Lu is truly stunning. Isn't she already thirty-six or thirty-seven? She looks as though she’s only twenty-five or twenty-six. A young lady from a wealthy clan is certainly different from the rest of us."

"Indeed, look at how fair her skin is—it’s so white it looks like she’s never seen the sun. Unlike us, who toil every day, tsk tsk, no one could match that porcelain skin; it practically glows."

They could never compare to those high-born ladies who possessed soft hands and radiant complexions, clearly spared from the harshness of the elements.

"I heard from my father, however, that the Sixth Young Master was exceptionally handsome back then—supposedly even more good-looking than Miss Lu."

"That was a long time ago. I’ve heard the Sixth Young Master was once the most refined gentleman in D State, but many years have passed since then. Had he remained with the Jiang Family, enjoying fine silks and gourmet food, he might have preserved his looks. But after being missing for so long and wandering the world, who knows what he looks like today?"

"Exactly. Twenty years spent in the outside world, facing such turmoil—who knows what he has suffered? Between potential illnesses, injuries, or weathered skin, it’s a total mystery."

"So, what do you think? If the Sixth Young Master now looks like a haggard farmhand, will Miss Lu still want him?"

This speculation immediately sparked even more intense debate among the spectators.

"True, Miss Lu might lose interest in marrying him under those circumstances, right? Besides, the Sixth Young Master might have already started a family and had children while he was away."

"If he is truly sickly or injured, it would be a terrible loss for Miss Lu to marry him. She is still remarkably beautiful and comes from a prestigious family; if she chose to marry now, she could still find an excellent match."

"Precisely. Originally, the Sixth Young Master was meant to lead the Jiang Family, but if he’s spent these years like us, tilling the soil and plowing fields, is it even possible for him to manage such a massive business empire now?"
