Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2512 - 2448: It’s Not That Simple

"Nian Che probably figured that since my mom died when I was so young, I wouldn’t recall much. Yet, he’s wrong because I started remembering early on. I vividly recall how, during my mom’s severe illness, she kept saying that in this life, I was her greatest worry. She wished she could offer me everything wonderful, but time had run out for that. In her final critical moments, fearing I’d be devastated, they allowed me only a distant glimpse of her."

Meng Xinian spoke without emotion, "Everyone believed that was my final sight of my mom, but they were mistaken. The evening before her death, I sneaked out through the window to visit her alone. That night, she shared all she wanted me to learn, every detail she could recall, yet she never uttered a word about adopting anyone or similar matters."

"If she had truly chosen to pen such an adoption document willingly, wouldn’t she have brought it up to me in her dying moments?"

Chiang Xiao nodded right away.

"On top of that, there’s something else. Back then, she adored me above all and hated the thought of parting from me. How could she include in a letter a request for me to look after another kid? Or even to welcome someone like lifting them from a bridal carriage? You may not realize it, but she treasured me immensely. Even the kids she liked best in the residential area, no matter how close their families were—like Chen Yin—if they wronged me, my mom would feel angry and teach them a lesson."

In essence, Nian Chengcheng was the type who cherished her child deeply, fiercely guarding him. Even if she adopted a girl, she’d at most advise against bullying the little sister and to care for her, but she’d never spell out details about carrying someone off a sedan in a written note.

Nian Che truly fails to comprehend.

"I’d say my bold nature later on, unafraid even in that major residential compound, came from my mom’s influence. Whenever I struck someone, her initial query was, ’Did they start it?’"

As though if they had indeed provoked him, striking back was entirely justified.

The person who shaped him into such a tough guy was none other than Nian Chengcheng.

Still, Nian Che just doesn’t get it.

Chiang Xiao sat there, stunned, absorbing it all.

Meng Xinian gently stroked her head and remarked, "One could argue your mother-in-law was a biased parent. Sadly, though, that bias was reserved solely for shielding me."

Outside of him, Nian Chengcheng possessed a deeply emotional side.

All her resilience went into motherhood.

That’s precisely why she faced such a tragic fate.

Chiang Xiao responded, "So, you’re suggesting Nian Che might have faked this letter?"

"I’m unaware of how it came to be written, but I’ll never accept it; it goes against my mom’s real intentions. Thus, this document holds no sway over me."

It might only fuel his determination to confront Nian Che more urgently.

Did he truly believe he’d bow to that adoption paper?

What nonsense.

Furthermore, when exactly did Nian Mutong get her household registration in our home?

Even if it were legitimate, he could cancel it; with no foundation and just flashing this letter, what does it achieve?

With that in mind, Meng Xinian abruptly stopped.

What does it achieve?

Is he orchestrating this merely to irritate them?

But isn’t he aware that ultimately, nothing positive will come his way?

Just like what happened today.

Could this possibly bring him any joy?

"Little," Meng Xinian hesitated before adding, "Perhaps Nian Che’s intentions run deeper than that, or he’s merely aiming to rile us up."
