Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2607: 2543: Why Be So Shameless

“Dad, Zhu Shun mentioned that folks all over Pingzhou are buzzing about this.”

Chiang Xiao felt deeply irritated upon hearing those words; she'd already softened the version she shared. Zhu Shun had passed on numerous direct quotes from Pingzhou locals to her.

Rumors claimed that Pingzhou's entire population was gossiping about how Sixth Young Master Jiang lost his mind with happiness spotting Miss Lu, realizing she'd waited for him unmarried, stirring deep emotions in him, with their bond growing intensely passionate, and them glued together daily in the Jiang Family.

Others whispered that since Miss Lu wasn't getting younger, she'd already slipped into Sixth Young Master Jiang’s room ahead of the wedding preparations, and the pair planned to conceive a child first, tying the knot once pregnant—for double joy.

In essence, wild guesses were firmly pinning them as soon-to-be newlyweds.

“Don’t get mad, I was ready for this mentally.” Jiang Shiheng caught her angry tone and gentled his voice to calm her.

“But Dad, this has to be the Lu Family’s scheme. How would anyone know these details unless they spread them?”

If Lu Shuangshuang had truly kept to herself in seclusion, who could know she was residing in the Jiang home?

Without deliberate stirring, how could tales of impending marriage and baby-making first emerge?

With gossip raging so fiercely, Chiang Xiao struggled to think the Lu’s stayed uninvolved.

“I get it, no worries.” A glint flashed in Jiang Shiheng’s eyes.

He sensed defeat in failing to remember everything, so his approach remained somewhat mild, leaving space for any surprises that might surface.

Besides, his gut told him the elusive memories haunting him lately tied straight to the Lu Family.

Chiang Xiao couldn’t resist asking, “Dad, is Lu Shuangshuang still holed up at the Jiang place without budging? Has Old Man Lu departed?”

“It’s exactly because your great-grandfather and I want Lu Shuangshuang gone with Old Lu that he’s dragging his feet, claiming it’s been ages since visiting D State, so he’s making your great-grandfather tour the streets with him daily.”

“So shameless,” Chiang Xiao clenched her teeth.

The Lu family’s brazen nerve shone through clearly here.

What was their real aim in refusing to vacate the Jiang household?

Why must Lu Shuangshuang cling to the Jiang house?

Clutching on with such desperation.

“Truly shameless.” Jiang Shiheng agreed.

He kept from Chiang Xiao that Lu Shuangshuang had sneaked over alone two nights prior, her words and actions carrying a seductive edge.

No idiot, he saw through her cover despite her skill at hiding it.

For that woman, his heart held zero warmth now.

“Why not just have great-grandfather toss them out,” Chiang Xiao muttered.

Jiang Shiheng chuckled at her childlike outburst.

“That’s too naive—even without becoming relatives, while ties aren’t fully broken, we must keep up polite appearances; it’s never as easy as just evicting them.”

He’d witnessed plenty who fought ruthlessly behind scenes but wore smiling masks in public as if all was fine.

At times, switching roles proves tougher than faking harmony amid tangled webs.

Chiang Xiao huffed, “Fine, I won’t fuss over niceties. If I run into Lu Family folks or that Miss Lu, no way I’m showing a kind face.”
