Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2376: 2312: If You Need Anything, Come to Me

“Oh, by the way, Little, is your father returning to the Jiang Family today? Have you connected with him? What's the situation like?”
This issue weighed heavily on his mind.
Earlier that day, the thought prompted him to hurry downstairs and phone Meng Xinian for an update, but in his haste, dizziness struck, leading to his sudden collapse.
Should Jiang Shiheng face any trouble, Chiang Xiao would be devastated.
Noticing his immediate worry about this upon regaining consciousness, Chiang Xiao felt a touch of warmth.
“Yeah, he came back to the Jiang Family this morning. I talked to him right before he left, and everything's proceeding well so far with no problems. I also reached out to Brother Xinian.”
Then, recalling a detail, Chiang Xiao added swiftly, “Brother Xinian mentioned he's heading into the Enclosed Camp soon, so you won't get through to him. If something arises, be sure to contact me instead.”
Was she offering to handle their concerns too?
Old Meng and Meng Chaojun gazed at her in astonishment, puzzled by this abrupt shift in her attitude.
Since they showed no special response to Meng Xinian's Enclosed Camp entry, Chiang Xiao figured they had no knowledge of the troop movement, thus appearing unconcerned.
After considering it, she chose to keep the details hidden for the moment. With the outcome unclear, there was no point in causing them needless anxiety.
“Dad, I've got some potion here—drink a bottle to start.” Chiang Xiao slung off her backpack, set a few bottles on the nightstand, and uncapped one.
Old Meng quickly assisted Meng Chaojun into a sitting position.
Meng Chaojun continued to eye her in bewilderment before glancing at his father.
Old Meng gave his shoulder a reassuring pat and explained, “Little's thoughtful like that. She planned to deliver the potion home regardless and simply rode with the ambulance.”
Still dazed, Meng Chaojun accepted the potion and took a few automatic swallows.
He'd intended to sip just enough to honor her kindness without overdoing it, figuring a couple of tastes would suffice. Yet, the flavor hit him hard, making him hesitate briefly before he downed the whole bottle uncontrollably.
Only Chiang Xiao could brew a potion this delicious.
Finishing it off, he sensed a surge of vitality right away.
Still, reflecting on his poor health, he regretted using such a valuable potion on himself.
“Little, no need to bring this potion for me anymore. Save it for yourself—maybe you can sell it later and make some cash,” Meng Chaojun suggested.
Chiang Xiao blinked in surprise.
“Why not?”
Hadn't he always craved the potion in the past?
Plus, it provided excellent relief from his pain.
Though Meng Chaojun once harbored some bitterness toward Chiang Xiao, viewing payments for the potion as mere face-saving, he now sincerely wished to spare her the expense on his account.
“My condition looks like it's in the final phase now—medicines won't help much.” Meng Chaojun spoke with gloom. “I figure it's best not to squander it.”
His words brought tears brimming to Old Meng's eyes once more.
Would he truly outlive someone from the younger generation?
Chiang Xiao hesitated before responding, “Who said it's wasted?”
A spark lit up in Meng Chaojun's gaze, his pulse quickening as he turned to her and asked, “Little, are you saying my illness still has a chance?”
In the past, Chiang Xiao hadn't been certain, since she refrained from sharing her Pure Spirit Spring Water with him.
