Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2650 - 2586: Chiang Xiaoxiao Has Arrived

Chiang Xiao’s phone call concluded with that solitary declaration.

Both Old Master Jiang and Jiang Shiheng were taken aback upon hearing it.

They had just been discussing the inadvisability of her visiting at this particular juncture, and then she announced she was indeed coming?

"That will not do, Sun Han, you must call her again and instruct her not to come for the time being. Her courtyard has not yet been prepared, and if she arrives, there will be no suitable place for her to stay!"

Old Master Jiang expressed his concern urgently.

Pft.

Sun Han and Jiang Shiheng were both left somewhat speechless by this statement.

Old Master, considering the immense size of the Jiang Family’s estate and the multitude of guest rooms available, of all possible pretexts, he chose to claim there was no place for her to stay?

Did this not essentially convey a clear message to Chiang Xiao that her presence was not desired?

After voicing his concern, Old Master Jiang himself recognized the flimsiness of his excuse and couldn't help but display a hint of embarrassment as he turned to Sixth Young Master Jiang. "Xiao Sixth, perhaps you should speak with her directly."

Regardless, for Chiang Xiao’s personal safety, venturing into D City at this critical moment was certainly not advisable.

Sun Han interjected, "Actually, Miss Chiang mentioned that regardless of your objections, she intends to come regardless, but she plans to do so discreetly, without anyone finding out."

She is determined to come, no matter the circumstances...

Jiang Shiheng let out a soft sigh.

It was evident that this daughter of his could not cease her worrying about him; she felt compelled to see him with her own eyes to find peace of mind.

"Then, the individuals Grandpa assigned to me, we can commence their deployment now, can we not?"

Given Chiang Xiao’s resolute decision to proceed with her visit, it was imperative for them to undertake certain preparatory measures.

Furthermore, he had a strategy in motion that required immediate initiation.

Lu Shuangshuang’s excursion to the island for a rendezvous with Sixth Young Master Jiang had culminated in an unfortunate kidnapping incident. By the following day, news of this event had permeated every corner of D City.

Across the bustling streets, within the intimate settings of teahouses, and amidst the convivial atmosphere of eateries and taverns, the prevailing narrative was that Sixth Young Master Jiang, overcome by fear, had absconded with his bodyguards, leaving Miss Lu vulnerable to the captors.

Reports even circulated that Old Master Lu had been so incensed by the news that he had fainted.

Consequently, he had been expeditiously transported to a foreign-invested hospital overnight, bypassing the Jiang Family’s own medical facilities.

This turn of events served as a de facto confirmation of the rumors – that Sixth Young Master Jiang had indeed deserted Miss Lu to ensure his own escape.

Within a mere single day, the reputation of Sixth Young Master Jiang had experienced a precipitous decline.

"In my estimation, the more aesthetically pleasing a man is, the less dependable he tends to be!"

"Precisely, possesses fine looks but lacks substance."

"Miss Lu dedicated twenty years of her life in anticipation of Sixth Young Master’s return, only for this unfortunate situation to arise immediately upon his reappearance. One can only imagine the depths of her current heartbreak."

"You speak the absolute truth. When seeking a partner, what practical value does mere good looks possess? One ought to seek individuals like ourselves—those who might not immediately capture the eye, but whose honesty and reliability are apparent at first glance."

"Hahaha, cease your jesting. Lee Laosan, you are merely exploiting this moment to trumpet your own virtues."

Chiang Xiao, seated in solitary contemplation in a secluded corner of a teahouse, absorbed these conversational threads, her fingers involuntarily tightening their hold on her teacup.

Indeed, following the conclusion of her phone call the previous evening, an inability to remain sedentary had seized her; she had, naturally, initiated her journey without delay.

Fortunately, by utilizing a relay point en route and employing the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram from a modest town, she had successfully reached the seaside cottage previously acquired from Cheng Cheng. Although a lingering sense of fatigue and disorientation persisted, she had managed to avoid succumbing to unconsciousness, promptly consuming some Spirit Spring Water to regain her equilibrium.

That particular cottage had undergone a thorough cleaning by Guan Tiezhu, rendering it immaculately tidy. A wooden bed was present within; though devoid of bedding, the boards themselves had been polished to a pristine sheen.

However, she ultimately opted not to utilize it. She proceeded directly into her personal Space for the duration of the night, emerging with the very first hints of dawn.

Although the wooden dwelling was secured from the exterior, this presented no obstacle for her. Her method involved simply casting one portion of the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram through the window, then activating the corresponding segment, enabling her to materialize outside.
