Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2478 - 2414: Don’t Let Him Get His Way
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Meng Xinian clamped his mouth shut and stayed quiet.
Chiang Xiao felt like sighing as well.
What's going on with everything?
She recalled Nian Che's words to her in the hospital back then—perhaps he had already figured out who she was? Understood her connection to Meng Xinian?
If he had pushed so hard to split up Meng Chaojun and Nian Chengcheng in the past, would he pull out all the stops to drive a wedge between her and Meng Xinian too?
Could a guy like him even recognize real love when he sees it?
She really loathed that man!
"Brother Xinian, regardless of anything, we should head back first. We're not sure if Grandfather is actually heading to Fuxi Restaurant tomorrow evening."
Who knows what scheme Nian Che has in mind.
Meng Xinian remained quiet without a word.
Chiang Xiao added, "How about you enter the space first, and I'll activate the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram? That'll take us straight home and cut down on time."
Driving all night to return would wear them out completely.
At last, Meng Xinian broke his silence.
"We're too distant now; I'll drive a bit further before retreating so you don't pass out again." With that, he turned on the engine.
Chiang Xiao quietly let out a relieved breath.
It's great that he's agreeing to return.
Meng Xinian's approach turned out to be spot on.
Chiang Xiao slipped into the space initially to rest and recover her energy, as he handled the driving for more than three hours nearer to their home, reducing the gap; afterward, he located a secluded spot where Chiang Xiao stored him along with the vehicle inside the space, allowing him a solid nap, before she triggered the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram to transport both of them and the car to the Capital City.
This method ensured neither felt overly drained.
They arrived just as dawn broke the following day.
After grabbing some breakfast and getting a bit more shut-eye, by around nine when they rose, they looked vibrant and full of vigor—who would guess they'd covered thousands of miles?
On this day, Chiang Xiao continued her time off.
"Awake already? Want to head to the hospital?" Chiang Xiao gazed at Meng Xinian. "Dad's fresh treatment schedule gets revealed today; let's check it out."
"You over your hatred for him now?" So how come you're jumping to handle his issues?
Chiang Xiao nearly blurted out that it was all for his sake.
That it's because the man is his real father?
She gave a light laugh and remarked: "Brother Xinian, don't you agree that if Nian Che hopes to watch Dad pass away full of sorrow and remorse, we ought to thwart his desires?"
Meng Xinian paused in surprise.
Chiang Xiao pressed on, "I get that you've got grudges deep down; if only he'd been sharper back then, discerned the truth, stayed a tad more alert, none of this would have happened. Yet, Brother Xinian, folks can get fooled by appearances, and traits don't develop in a flash—if all were as clever as you, the world would overflow with geniuses, but that's not realistic."
Meng Xinian chuckled softly while booping her nose. "Quite the chatterbox, aren't you? Well, you've eased my mind a lot."
"I'm dead serious." Chiang Xiao reflected on her previous life, admitting she had been pretty silly herself.
Yet when someone's acting foolish, they lack the insight to grasp the situation fully; bystanders can spot it easily, but when it's personal, few manage that divine oversight clarity.
Plus, certain forces were pulling strings behind the scenes.
Meng Chaojun's silliness sparked those outcomes years ago, though it wasn't solely his doing.
"Yeah, got more?" Meng Xinian had risen to his feet by then, shedding his outfit and heading to the closet to pick out fresh attire to don.
