Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2651 - 2587: Why Endure?

This skill had just been discovered by her; by the same principle, entering a room with its main door closed would be no different. As long as there was an opening to insert the Talisman Diagram, she could slip in unnoticed and without a trace.

However, even though she had arrived in D State, she absolutely could not reveal herself yet, nor could she go to see Jiang Shiheng immediately. This was because just last night, she had received Sun Han's call in Capital City. How could she possibly show up in D State first thing the next morning?

Therefore, she decided to disguise herself first and then investigate how she had returned.

She also wanted to find out the current public perception of Lu Shuangshuang.

But upon hearing it, she was almost infuriated to the point of death.

It turned out that public opinion was still entirely in Lu Shuangshuang's control!

Weren't the Jiang Family and her great-grandfather being far too soft-hearted?

No matter how much they needed connections, no matter how they couldn't just fall out with someone or unmask them publicly—she understood all of that. But what time was it now?

They were already being trampled all over their faces, and they were still expected to endure it?

Was the Jiang Family truly this spineless?

Well, she was not!

The timid Chiang Xiao had already been bullied to that extent in her previous life. In this life, she was going to live according to her own temperament!

And what was her temperament like?

Her temperament was: an eye for an eye!

If someone splashed a bucket of dirty water on her, she would shove their head straight into the cesspit!

So, Lu Shuangshuang, Old Master Lu—just you wait!

This time, Chiang Xiao naturally came alone. Apart from herself, there was no way she could have brought Ding Haijing and the others along.

But how to conceal this from Ding Haijing was a significant challenge.

Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng did not excessively control her; they simply performed their duties diligently, protecting her and staying close. If she fabricated an excuse, it was still relatively easy to deceive them.

However, someone like Ding Haijing was not as easily fooled.

Thus, after pondering it extensively last night, Chiang Xiao had no choice but to employ a formidable stratagem—she arranged for Jiang Yingqiong to send a car to pick her up.

She informed Ding Haijing that she would be staying for a few days at the Chief Alliance Officer's residence.

Going to Li Hanzhong's, she definitely could not bring anyone. Besides, it was only there that Ding Haijing would feel at ease. It was the one place where he could afford to not keep her under constant surveillance.

Even so, last night Ding Haijing repeatedly confirmed that the person driving over to pick her up was indeed that Xiao Li, whom he had met before at the Chief Alliance Officer's side.

That was also at Chiang Xiao's request – she had specifically asked Xiao Li to come and get her in person.

Only by doing so could she allay Ding Haijing's suspicions and gain his permission to leave.

Chiang Xiao felt a pang of tragedy. Who hires bodyguards only to end up in such circumstances? It felt as though her life was being controlled down to the smallest detail.

But regardless, she had managed to get out.

Once she arrived at the Alliance Officer's residence, she found a pretext to slip away. She informed the Chief Alliance Officer that she needed to enter seclusion for a few days to practice drawing, that she was going to hold an exhibition, and that she had merely stopped by to deliver some tea.

Now that she was already in D State, Ding Haijing surely wouldn't suspect anything, right?

It's not as if he would go to the Chief Alliance Officer's place to inquire, and the Chief Alliance Officer wouldn't specifically send someone to ask Ding Haijing whether she had returned.

And so, that was how she managed to evade her bodyguards.

Her current attire appeared rather outdated: she wore a pair of very loose, dark blue homespun trousers, cloth shoes on her feet, and on top, a similarly baggy, earth-yellow shirt. She had deliberately disheveled her long hair, braided it into a single plait, and tied it with one of those incredibly unfashionable red wool-wrapped rubber bands.
