Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2565 - 2501: The Same Enemy

"So, does that mean that woman truly loves my dad?"

What else besides love would drive someone to wait for a man for twenty years?

Still, Chiang Xiao simply couldn’t accept that Lu Shuangshuang held real affection for Ah Liu. For some reason she couldn’t pinpoint, she just disliked Lu Shuangshuang.

She believed all of this woman’s actions were piling pressure on the Jiang Family, especially on her dad.

That engagement matter—who could say how it would turn out down the line?

"Not likely."

Meng Xinian shared the same doubt.

"Then, is there something about my dad they really covet? Maybe it’s not the Jiang Family inheritance at all, but something personal to him?"

Chiang Xiao pondered aloud, "Dad has nothing special like that; if he did, he’d have told me for sure."

Meng Xinian’s eyes darkened faintly as he gazed at her in silence.

"What’s that look for? Why stare like that?" It made her feel deeply unsettled.

"Haven’t you thought of something?" Meng Xinian questioned.

"What?"

"Why does Dad keep dreaming those weird things? Aren’t his dreams awfully strange?" Meng Xinian pointed out.

Chiang Xiao jolted in shock.

Did her dad possess some special power?

Was that the thing they desired?

She shivered abruptly.

If true, then Ah Liu’s past-life mishap likely stemmed from that old researcher at the institute—the foe she must confront now!

Her dad and she faced the identical enemy!

This thought left Chiang Xiao utterly stunned.

Perhaps that figure had long conspired with the Lu Family? So Lu Shuangshuang waited for Ah Liu all this time for that very cause?

Ah Liu undoubtedly carried some hidden ability he hadn’t fully grasped!

"The object removed from Dad’s brain back then?" Chiang Xiao asked tensely.

Meng Xinian shook his head, "No suitable expert yet to study what it truly is. You know, Little, it probably links to Dad’s secret, so we won’t hand it off casually until the right person comes along."

Doing so might invite disaster for Ah Liu.

Chiang Xiao breathed out in relief.

Of course.

Times weren’t as advanced as the future yet.

Researching such mysteries proved tough right now.

"When do we find someone fitting to examine it?" Chiang Xiao pressed. "We have to learn what it is."

"I’m searching now, and Uncle Yang’s helping too—he knows far more contacts in this field. Don’t fret; we’ll uncover it soon."

Chiang Xiao had no choice but to nod.

"Brother Xinian, staying over tonight?"

"No, must head back. I’ll stay a bit longer then go."

"All this way for just a short while? Won’t you tire yourself out?" Chiang Xiao glared at him.

"Not tired."

"Oh, Grandpa and Dad stopped by today; they heard you’re off to Country U." Thinking back on Old Meng and their chat, Chiang Xiao’s cheeks warmed.

She didn’t know quite how to bring it up with Meng Xinian.

Truth was, she’d already agreed inwardly.

After all, marriage loomed just months away for her and Meng Xinian. They’d planned kids later, but starting sooner? She felt fine with it.
