Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2507 - 2443: Fool for Life

The mother who bore her has passed away...

A cold shiver gripped Chiang Xiao's heart.

How exactly had that woman met her end?

Was it really just a coincidence that she died immediately after delivery?

Nian Che struck her as utterly terrifying.

'Brother Xinian, let's head out,' she said, tugging Meng Xinian to his feet.

They had come solely to retrieve Nian Chengcheng's letter and read its contents. With that accomplished, what reason remained to linger?

'Departing already?' Nian Che's voice rose abruptly. 'Don't you want to know the identity of my bride?'

Chiang Xiao halted and pivoted back.

'Nian Che, perhaps your sickness has clouded your own awareness. Still, I recommend consulting a psychiatrist; something seems off in this regard.'

She tapped her temple before adding, 'That said, I fear you're past saving at this point, as your condition appears advanced and probably untreatable.'

'Hahaha,' Nian Che chuckled. 'You're quite the entertainer. Yet my intended bride ought to be here by now.'

His words barely ended when the door swung open, admitting a woman clad in a plum-hued gown.

Chiang Xiao glanced over to meet her gaze.

Having steeled herself beforehand, she appeared remarkably composed at the sight of the newcomer.

Chen Zhu—it was truly Chen Zhu.

The vanished Chen Zhu materialized before her in this manner.

A sudden urge to laugh bubbled up in Chiang Xiao.

Why did this version of Chen Zhu come across as so absurd and pitiable?

What exactly defined Chen Zhu's whole existence?

Could someone err in folly just once, or persist in it lifelong?

Evidently, Chen Zhu had embodied foolishness throughout her days, persisting in it still.

Meng Xinian clasped her hand firmly.

Chiang Xiao held no rage, yet he seethed.

He had managed to restrain himself earlier, but tolerance escaped him now.

Under no condition should Nian Che ever seek to injure Chiang Xiao.

Wasn't his intent in wedding Chen Zhu to repulse Chiang Xiao, ensnaring her thoughts in turmoil?

Nian Che continued, 'Oh, and I believe Zhu'er and I will soon welcome children of our own. Zhu'er once spoke of her prior daughter, which doesn't bother me. With my own daughter too, our future son from Zhu'er would gain two sisters. How wonderful!'

Thus, his scheme aimed to entangle Chiang Xiao, himself, Nian Mutong, and even the offspring Chen Zhu might produce?

Though he avoided direct harm, these tactics repelled others, evoking the disgust of ingesting insects, correct?

Chen Zhu gazed vacantly at Chiang Xiao, starting to utter, 'Little...'

She got no further, as Meng Xinian called out sharply.

'Ding Haijing!'

Ding Haijing materialized abruptly.

Meng Xinian declared icily, 'This woman was earlier accused of possible fraud and stealing; as responsible folks, ought we not assist the Public Security officers with a civic duty? Haul her to the station!'

'Affirmative!'

Unaware of the full story, Ding Haijing noted the tense vibe in the space and the fierce fury and lethal glare in Meng Xinian's stare. He grasped the necessity instantly.

Thus, he advanced silently, seized Chen Zhu's arm, wrenched it behind her, and thrust her brutally toward the exit.

Nian Che pounded the table, rising swiftly.

His earlier grin vanished entirely.

'Halt! What is the meaning of this!'

Ding Haijing ignored him completely, shoving Chen Zhu through the doorway.

'Brother Che!' Chen Zhu cried out in panic.
