Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2483 - 2419: Why Haven’t You Left Yet?

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Jiang Yuncun boasted about Yun Qing's diverse talents in arts and skills to Uncle Six, suggesting she could tutor his daughter. Jiang Shiheng firmly clarified that he has only one daughter, detailing her impressive achievements in painting and emphasizing the importance of family protection over external judgments. Stunned by his words, Yun Qing and her brother departed, leaving Uncle Six to reflect on her scheming nature.

Sun Han lingered nearby, pausing for a second before he inevitably spoke up to remind him.

"Sixth Young Master, shouldn't you give Little Chiang a ring?"

Jiang Shiheng shot him a quick look and ended up chuckling softly.

"You sure recall Little's instructions sharply, keeping tabs on me like that, huh?"

"I wouldn't presume to. Little Chiang cares about your well-being too."

"Fine, I'll phone her right away. Not sure if she's back home or still tied up at school." Jiang Shiheng shook his head grinning and made his way to the telephone.

Yet, likely thanks to their father-daughter tie, the moment he neared it, the phone began to ring—it was Chiang Xiao on the line.

"Daddy?"

Chiang Xiao felt a slight shock at how swiftly he picked up.

Truth be told, she had only meant to attempt the call, uncertain whether Jiang Shiheng might be around.

After all, plenty of events had unfolded since his comeback to the Jiang Family. Still, skipping this call would leave her uneasy. Imagine if he rang back during her time at the Meng Family and she overlooked key details?

Thus, the instant she reached the Meng Family, she punched in this number first thing.

"Little, I was on the point of reaching out to you. Yep, heeding Xiao Sun's nudge, he just prodded me to contact you."

Chiang Xiao beamed and silently awarded Sun Han a thumbs-up in her thoughts.

"So, sticking to our usual habit, let me chat briefly with Sun Han, only a pair of sentences."

"Little, does Sun Han outrank your dad these days?" Jiang Shiheng remarked with a helpless tone.

"It's simply to confirm whether you're concealing the tough stuff and sharing just the positives."

Standing not too distant, Meng Xinian overheard Chiang Xiao's remark and couldn't suppress a grin, shaking his head while letting out a soft sigh.

Should Sixth Young Master Jiang truly aim to deliver only upbeat reports, Sun Han wouldn't have stood any chance. No doubt, he got swayed into revealing things as per his desires.

Sun Han excels at kung fu, yet his wits fall short when matched against Sixth Young Master Jiang.

Hence, Chiang Xiao overlooked the full scenario this round.

Naturally, he had no intention of voicing this observation to her on purpose; her contentment was all that counted.

Sun Han shared a few quick words with Chiang Xiao, and as expected, she gained a measure of comfort before picking up her talk with Ah Liu once more. Ah Liu remained engaged in rebuilding family bonds, reacquainting himself with the Jiang Family Courtyard, while at the same time, every connection to the Jiang Family caught wind of the news and converged to encounter him.

This highlights the extensive circle tied to the figure guiding the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family, plus its tangled array of kin.

Tuning into these details, Chiang Xiao sensed weariness in both body and mind, though Ah Liu dismissed them as minor concerns. He noted too that amid his idleness, gauging folks' varied responses worked out fine, implying he could glean some worthwhile insights.

He'd voiced that very sentiment before.

Chiang Xiao grew frustrated.

"Dad, did you use up all the potion I handed you?"

"Yeah, a bit lingers still. These last few days, I've felt quite energetic and rested deeply at night, so rest easy."

"When mornings or evenings allow some free time, get Sun Han to show you basics of martial arts or self-defense moves. It'll enhance your vitality and grant a bit of safeguarding that beats going without any practice."

As Chiang Xiao kept rambling away, Jiang Shiheng merely smiled and bobbed his head in response.

"I'm over at the Meng Family right now." Chiang Xiao pressed on, casting a look at Meng Xinian: "Brother Xinian's joined us here too."

"You headed to the Meng Family?"

"Not to linger, only a quick stop today." Chiang Xiao pondered briefly before inquiring, "Lu Shuangshuang's still hanging around the Jiang Family, right?"

"Hmm..."

"What's with her extended stay? Might she be scheming to lean on the Jiang Family for leverage against you? Dragging it out like that, all sorts of gossip could brew beyond our walls."

This precise worry had plagued Old Master Jiang during that earlier moment.
