Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2530 - 2466: The Results Are Out

Chiang Xiao broke into a ripple of laughter.

She was clearly unpopular with the crowd.

Ding Haijing exhaled a sharp snort.

"Officer Meng, don't imagine you're the only one who is sought after! I happen to be quite the prince charming in the eyes of many young ladies myself."

"Whatever. I have no need for the admiration of others these days; I only desire my wife. You ought to put in more effort, as being "popular" clearly hasn't helped you land a partner."

"That is merely because my standards remain incredibly high..."

Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao felt annoyed and widened her eyes. "What is that supposed to imply? Are you suggesting Brother Xinian decided on me because his own standards are lacking?"

Ding Haijing: "..."

Fine, fine, he was outnumbered two to one, so he would accept his defeat.

What kind of misfortune was it to be alone?

His father was constantly on his back, and now people here were hounding him too?

He was hardly that old yet.

After departing Youqingwei, they dropped Ding Haijing off, returned to their residence, and secured the locks. Following that, Chiang Xiao retrieved Chen Zhu once more, offering her some Ganoderma water.

She lingered there, observing Chen Zhu while reflecting on the events of her two past lives.

What if she truly wasn't Chen Zhu’s biological daughter? That would be...

The test results were expected by late afternoon since they had expedited the process; however, no matter how much apprehension she felt, it changed nothing.

In that moment, a sudden longing for her grandparents touched her heart.

Chiang Xiao sighed, turned around, and stepped into the living room to initiate a phone call.

Chiang Songhai picked up the receiver.

His voice carried a light, cheerful tone.

"Little one, your grandma is presently napping; we finished our lunch early. The doctor? Indeed, we are honoring your advice and keeping up with our regular checkups. Everything is progressing well, truly, all is good."

"When is grandma officially due?" Chiang Xiao inquired.

Since she had never experienced motherhood and lacked familiarity with the process, she felt entirely ignorant regarding the details.

Chiang Songhai responded, "The physician estimated the birth will occur early next month."

"Then I shall return by then."

Hearing her intention, Chiang Songhai exhaled a sigh of relief.

Knowing Chiang Xiao would return to remain by their side brought him great peace of mind.

"Will this interrupt your plans?"

"Not at all, there is nothing more essential than Grandma. I am also quite curious to see if I am getting a baby uncle or a baby aunt."

Chiang Songhai chuckled, "All is well, truly. Chu Liang's wife frequently stops by to look after us, and they are both quite attentive, so there is no cause for concern."

"Mm, I understand."

Chiang Xiao hesitated briefly, but ultimately decided against mentioning that she had located Chen Zhu or that the woman was currently in her company.

It was wiser to wait until the definitive results arrived.

When evening fell, Meng Xi went out to collect the documentation personally and brought the findings home.

By the time he re-entered the house, Chiang Xiao was still confined to the study, balancing her painting with a watchful eye on Chen Zhu.

She was capturing the scenery of a traditional ancient town—a narrow stream, an old stone bridge, several oleander bushes leaning toward the water, and a pair of children frolicking along the banks.

The composition was serene and exquisite. Once she finished the imagery, she felt a strong urge to utilize the Magic Brush to refine the water.

If she applied that touch, the painting might have allowed viewers to hear the faint babble of the current and feel the crisp chill of the water.

However, recalling Hu Xiangyong, she suppressed the temptation.

It was better to abstain.

She intended to showcase these paintings later, relying strictly on her genuine skill.

Even so, when Meng Xi stepped inside and caught a glimpse of the canvas, he was instantly transported back to that ancient setting.

It seemed Chiang Xiao’s artistic mastery had reached another level.

Noticing his return, Chiang Xiao dropped her brush instantly, casting a tense glance toward him.

Her eyes drifted to the large envelope resting in his hand.

It surely contained the DNA findings.

She waited for Meng Xi to speak first; she felt a sudden dread at the prospect of seeing the results herself.
