Meng Chaojun recalled Old Madam Nian and Nian Tang's attempt to trade Nian Chengcheng's diary for the house. Meng Xinian revealed the diary records pivotal past events, fueling Meng Chaojun's desperation to know its contents and deep regret for never reading it. He realized Nian Chengcheng wrote openly without hiding it and began reexamining Nian Che's hostile visit with growing suspicion.

With a smile gleaming in her eyes, she drew closer to him and hurried over the moment she spotted him, asking, "Chao Jun, guess what I bought today?"

And what was his reaction?

He sneered while shoving her aside, clenching his teeth as he shot back, "Shouldn’t it be who you met today, what you did?"

Nian Chengcheng froze for an instant, then burst into laughter once more, "So you already know? Did you see us..."

"You two ran fast, I didn’t see that disgusting scene! But, Nian Chengcheng, you really are something, having the energy to run so fast after sleeping with another man?"

Upon hearing these words, Nian Chengcheng’s complexion drained of color.

As Meng Chaojun reflected on it, he was surprised by how sharp his memory remained.

Once he had gotten together with Duan Qingqing, he believed he had erased it all from his mind long ago, yet now every detail resurfaced vividly.

To his astonishment, he recalled every single conversation with Nian Chengcheng, every glance from her eyes, every facial expression with perfect clarity!

Yet previously, he had never dwelled on it, but now upon close reflection, it all felt entirely altered.

The sensations were nothing like before.

If Nian Chengcheng had truly felt guilty back then, how could she have kept smiling while speaking to him?

Back then, she had shown such deep care for Xinian and adored her son so much that she never would have agreed to divorce him; thus, if the affair had truly been exposed, she should have at least displayed some remorse.

Nian Chengcheng wasn’t the type of woman harboring deep schemes; she couldn’t conceal many of her feelings.

So, so...

The deeper Meng Chaojun pondered, the more ashen his face became, shifting from pale to a sickly green, before his eyes rolled back, darkness claimed his sight, and he crumpled to the floor.

"Chao Jun!" Boss Meng cried out in alarm.

Chiang Xiao dashed forward swiftly to catch him.

Fortunately, her current strength surpassed that of an ordinary man, or else she couldn’t have supported Meng Chaojun’s weight.

"Brother Xinian, stop it, for the sake of my potion."

Chiang Xiao pleaded with Meng Xinian in desperation.

After all, Meng Chaojun required copious amounts of her potion to recuperate; if Meng Xinian truly provoked him into a rage, she’d need to expend even more later.

Moreover, what if the anger triggered something irreversible, beyond saving?

"Brat, couldn’t you have picked another moment to rile up your father?" Old Meng’s eyes reddened.

Meng Xinian clenched his jaw, strode over, relieved Meng Chaojun from Chiang Xiao’s grasp, and eased him onto the sofa.

Chiang Xiao hurriedly dug into her backpack, pulling out a bottle of spring water from Space, which she passed to Meng Xinian while signaling.

Did that mean she wanted him to give it to him?

Meng Xinian accepted it and quietly administered the potion to Meng Chaojun.

Both their faces bore grim expressions.

One lay pallid in a faint, the other scowled darkly with suppressed fury.

Old Meng gazed at the scene and let out a profound sigh.

What in the world was happening!

Even after all these years, father and son remained locked in conflict!

Recalling the root of this feud, he gnashed his teeth in loathing toward Nian Che.
