Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2501 - 2437: A Letter

Meng Xinian stayed calm upon hearing that, yet Chiang Xiao felt a ripple in her thoughts. She sensed validity in the statement.

Should Meng Chaojun hold onto his role, the Gao Family would at least hesitate before acting against him, making things far less straightforward for them.

Besides, with Meng Chaojun privy to certain internal details, they might anticipate events in advance.

"In fact, if Dad heals from his sickness, reclaiming his post might not be out of reach, don't you think?"

At first, Old Meng only felt like heaving a deep breath upon her remark.

Could it really be so straightforward?

"Should this ailment linger for several years, resuming duties would prove quite challenging."

"And if recovery comes swiftly?"

Old Meng paused in surprise at those words, his gaze suddenly brightening.

"Little one, are you implying...?"

"I'm suggesting, what if Dad improves by the end of this year?"

"In that scenario, he'd surely stage a strong return regardless! Chaojun hasn't reached his seventies or eighties yet. He could potentially hold his role for another decade or two, perhaps even more."

From Old Meng's perspective, Meng Chaojun had suffered setbacks over the years due to Duan Qingqing's endless whispers, dulling an already average-minded Meng Chaojun further.

However, now free from Duan Qingqing's influence, he might sharpen his wits going forward?

Providing support to Meng Xinian at minimum would benefit everyone.

Should father and son mend their bond, Old Meng could seek Meng Xinian's input on issues, with Meng Xinian offering guidance. Wouldn't that shift things dramatically?

Admittedly, a son counseling his father could feel awkward, yet it's preferable to the current state.

If such a turn occurred, Old Meng would truly find peace in his later years.

Chiang Xiao agreed with a nod, "So, let's aim to restore him this year."

Old Meng parted his lips but held back his thoughts.

Why did Chiang Xiao phrase it as if it were effortless?

Still, a spark of optimism flickered within him. Her offhand tone suggested she might actually hold assurance.

If true, he'd harbor no further longings. Contentment would suffice, leaving just the hope to witness Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao wed, start a family—that would complete everything.

"Little one, will you two dine here this evening?"

Right after Old Meng's question, a guard entered to announce.

"A person surnamed Nian has arrived to extend an invitation to Old Meng for supper, claiming a prior agreement."

At this news, Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian rose together.

Nian Che?

He has the audacity to show up?

Evidently, he anticipated Old Meng declining, so he arrived personally to escort.

Old Meng glanced toward Meng Xinian, then Chiang Xiao, "How should we handle this?"

How to handle it?

Meng Xinian let out a cold laugh, "Simply bar him from entering." He instructed the guard, "Relay plainly that Old Meng declines."

"Understood."

Beyond the courtyard gates, Nian Che's mouth curved into a grin upon the message, before passing an envelope to the guard. "Kindly deliver this note to Meng Xinian? Inform him I earnestly wish for both to join our evening feast. I'll await them at Fuxi Restaurant."

With those words, he departed promptly, showing no reluctance.

As the missive arrived in Meng Xinian's grasp, his face subtly shifted upon recognizing the script.
