Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2662 - 2598: Give Him a Hand

The Jiang family elders and the younger generation alike held a measure of concern for Meng Xinian.

"He's been sent to Ke Ku Li?"

Since the decision was finalized and Meng Xinian had already departed, Chiang Xiao felt it was unnecessary to elaborate further and simply provided an affirmative nod.

Jiang Shiheng, wishing to spare her continued worry, also opted for brevity.

"Xinian is capable and quick-witted; he'll surely return safe and sound."

Old Master Jiang chimed in with agreement, "Indeed. And Cheng Cheng has just received a promotion to Officer. I'm exploring avenues to support his advancement."

Chiang Xiao wondered if this meant a push for Cheng Cheng's accelerated rise.

"Grandpa, perhaps we should dine first and discuss matters afterward," Chiang Xiao suggested.

The three shared a harmonious meal.

Post-dinner, Old Master Jiang, cradling a cup of tea, observed Chiang Xiao in the warm lamplight and smiled.

"It's truly wonderful. With Little Six returned, I've suddenly gained a grown granddaughter-in-law and grandson-in-law. Our family meals will be more lively now, no longer just me, an old man, eating alone. Too many dishes, and we can't finish them; too few, and they might think I'm not eating well."

He chuckled heartily.

Gathered like this, across three generations, felt exceptionally heartwarming.

Should he be granted a little more time, perhaps he could even witness the arrival of Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian's children.

This thought filled Old Master Jiang with immense contentment.

Chiang Xiao signaled Sun Han, "Kindly request Grandpa Chen to join us."

Her intention was to inquire from Chen Baoshen about the recent health status of Old Master Jiang and Jiang Shiheng.

Chen Baoshen arrived shortly thereafter and was visibly pleased to see Chiang Xiao.

After a brief conversation, Chiang Xiao bid them farewell, as Old Master Jiang, due to his advanced age, needed to retire for the night. Chen Baoshen accompanied him, residing within Old Master Jiang's courtyard.

At the entrance, Old Master Jiang turned to Jiang Shiheng, instructing, "Tomorrow morning, take Little Six to see her courtyard. Discuss the layout plans together, and then I'll speak with Qiu Yan about it."

"Grandpa, I understand," Jiang Shiheng replied.

"Thank you, Great-Grandpa," Chiang Xiao expressed.

Watching his retreating figure, Chiang Xiao felt a surge of warmth.

Old Master Jiang was remarkably considerate in arranging her courtyard, always striving to accommodate her preferences.

That night, she slept in the small guest room, anticipating discomfort and wakefulness. Unexpectedly, she drifted off quickly and enjoyed a profoundly restful sleep.

The following morning, Jiang Shiheng escorted her to her courtyard, situated conveniently close to his own. It was a charming, compact dwelling.

"There are four rooms here. Take your time to consider how you'd like them arranged," he explained.

As Chiang Xiao surveyed the space, ideas began to form.

"I'll sketch out a plan and give it to you, Dad. I'm thinking of connecting two of the rooms to create a study and an art studio."

Chiang Xiao wasn't entirely certain how much time she'd ultimately spend living here, but she felt that even if it were just for a few days, it ought to be furnished and configured according to her own tastes.

Jiang Shiheng readily consented.

During breakfast, Yue Yang arrived to provide an update on their ongoing endeavors.

"The prevailing rumors outside continue to favor the Jiang Family and the Sixth Young Master. Old Master Lu and his associates have also made moves, but as per the Sixth Young Master's directives, our people are maintaining close surveillance. Any suspicious individuals are apprehended discreetly, ensuring everything proceeds according to plan without incident," Yue Yang reported.

Jiang Shiheng nodded thoughtfully. "And what of Old Master Lu?"

"Earlier today, Doctor Chen visited the teahouse. As the Sixth Young Master anticipated, he casually remarked that Old Master Lu appeared remarkably healthy and robust, suggesting any anger he experienced would likely pass quickly. Consequently, a prevailing sentiment is that Old Master Lu's prolonged hospitalization serves as leverage against the Jiang Family."
