Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2556: 2492: A Child to Be Proud Of

Jiang Shiheng's voice carried a hoarse tone.

'Are you able to walk on your own? We'll discuss it once we're home.'

'Naturally.'

A nearby bodyguard remarked, 'Young Master Cheng showed remarkable skill; the car was bound with arm-thick iron chains, yet he smashed the window and managed to get half his body free.'

Without Cheng Cheng breaking the car window himself, escape might have been impossible; their power couldn't have smashed the underwater glass fast enough to rescue him.

Searching for rocks or tools would likely have taken too long.

In that critical instant, each passing second hung between life and death.

Thus, it was a blessing that he rescued himself.

Moreover, Chen Yiping's presence proved vital, applying expert rescue methods right away to prevent drowning.

In the end, Sun Han's help and Chiang Xiao’s potion made all the difference.

Cheng Cheng spotted the empty bottle lying on the ground.

It seemed familiar to his eyes.

He stooped down, grabbed it, and clutched it firmly.

'We'll talk when we get back.' Jiang Shiheng noticed the gesture but stayed silent.

Through the Jiang Family's back entrance they slipped, reaching Jiang Shiheng’s courtyard.

As he departed, Old Master Lu's expression grew somewhat severe. With a subtle head tilt, Lu Junyou slipped away quietly.

Yet a bodyguard trailed after him.

He managed only to loop around the restroom.

A secret follower was quickly intercepted.

Sixth Young Master certainly hadn't lounged idly during his days at the Jiang Family.

As a result, upon entering Sixth Young Master’s courtyard, no one pieced together the full story. They just knew he left with others and came back shortly.

Chen Yiping appeared to have joined him, and on return, several bodyguards looked damp?

Darkness concealed further details.

'What's the deal with Xiao Sixth?' Old Master Lu demanded sharply upon Lu Junyou's return and head shake. 'All this fuss about a daughter? Has the child arrived at the Jiang Family?'

Old Master Jiang shared the worry, but Jiang Liu had told him to proceed with the banquet before departing, aiming to steady the guests, so he wore only a mild smile.

'Old Lu, my great-granddaughter hasn't returned; she's at university still, such a talented young one. Likely just received a call.'

Terms like great-granddaughter and promising child revealed Old Master Jiang’s high regard for Chiang Xiao, prompting other Jiang Family members to reevaluate her standing.

Before, with Sixth Young Master home for days and Chiang Xiao absent, they'd assumed his outside daughter held little real value despite the family registry entry—perhaps mere procedure, her true influence doubtful.

Yet Old Master Jiang's words before Old Master Lu made it crystal clear to all.

'Old Jiang, you used to be so tough on Xiao Sixth—why the sudden leniency?'

'Not sure what you're getting at, Old Lu.'

Old Master Lu shook his head, stating, 'At a banquet, barring a dire emergency, how does the host's family abandon the honored guest so casually? Family or not, Xiao Sixth’s excuse for leaving sounds ridiculous; ditching for a kid's call? Why not return it post-banquet?'

'Haha, Xiao Sixth dotes greatly on his daughter,' Old Master Jiang replied once more.
