Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2487 - 2423: Don’t Even Think About It

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
After Jiang Qiuyan leaves, Fourth Master and Fifth Master Jiang discuss borrowing Doctor Chen from Old Master Jiang for Fifth Master's chest tightness and headaches, using the visit as a chance to chat about family matters. They encounter Old Master Jiang heading to Jiang Shiheng's home and decide to join him, reminiscing about their once-close bond with the now-distant Jiang Liu after his long absence. Fourth Master expresses frustration over a past shameful incident involving Jiang Liu in D State, urging a thorough reinvestigation.

"After all these years, digging into it won't be easy," Fifth Master remarked.

"No matter the challenge, we must look into it!" Fourth Master's voice thundered. "I won't stop until I drag that culprit out and wipe them away!"

"Fine, Laosi, you're aging yet remain so fiery," Old Master Jiang commented. "Investigation is essential, of course. The ordeal with Xiao Sixth is something we can't simply endure; that's not how the Jiang Family operates. Yet with Xiao Sixth freshly back and unable to remember those past events, starting point eludes us. Allow him to remain here, perhaps memories will return soon, and we'll discuss next steps then."

While conversing, they reached Jiang Liu's courtyard.

A pair of bodyguards flanked the entrance outside.

Upon spotting the two stern, burly guards, Fourth Master remarked involuntarily, "Big brother, do we truly require this in our home?"

"Why not? I fear it's essential," Old Master Jiang believed firmly.

What issue arises from home?

Not even Laosi and Fifth can he rely on anymore.

This residence leaves even him somewhat discouraged.

He toiled nearly a lifetime for this clan, yet what outcome emerged?

The one who harmed Xiao Sixth lurks inside the Jiang Family.

Previously, he had envisioned that upon actual division of the Jiang Family's holdings and fortune, it would occur equitably, impartially, sensibly—favoring emotions just a touch.

Regardless, their home truly requires no excessive riches.

But following Jiang Liu's incident, rage consumed him.

Particularly as Xiao Sixth brought up his parents' affair once more, should his child and spouse have truly perished at family hands, why divide anything? No need.

Regarding the Jiang Family assets, even without heirs to pass them to, he'd prefer giving it all away over allowing them a single cent!

"Are Grandpa and Fourth Uncle present?" Jiang Liu's voice emerged from within.

Hearing it, Fourth Master and Fifth Master shared a look.

Fourth Master laughed lightly, stating, "Ah, my fury was raging, but Xiao Sixth's voice soothed it right away. Is he relaxing leisurely? His tone alone brings such serenity."

An odd peace infused Jiang Liu's manner of speaking.

Merely his voice evokes thoughts of him perhaps reclining amid bamboo, tasting tea while heeding the breeze.

Does the passage of two decades signify anything?

Does surpassing thirty and nearing forty hold importance?

Certainly, someone like Jiang Liu could still stir countless women to blush with desire and longing beyond these walls.

"Xiao Sixth, Fifth Uncle joins us as well," Old Master Jiang announced, guiding them inside the yard.

Post-call with his daughter, Jiang Liu felt cheerful.

Yet, the welcoming grin he wore faded a touch as they appeared.

Still, it remained flawless.

"Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle."

Gazing at the figure beneath the veranda, unlike the boyish visage recalled. Sunlight filtered in, bypassing his features yet illuminating his pale cotton attire and a single palm, partly luminous and partly cozy, enhancing his grin and sparkling gaze, suggesting time had gently shaped rather than eroded him.

Capital City, Meng Family.

Once the call ended, Chiang Xiao headed to the kitchen. She'd promised to prepare a simple meal today.

Old Meng felt overjoyed, naturally.

He'd dreamed of such family harmony many times yet never tasted it through these years.

The Meng Family's old residence had turned ever more lonely.
