Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2705 - 2641: Truly Patient and Unmoved

Hearing the worry in Chiang Xiao’s voice, Jiang Shiheng spoke soothingly, "Little, you don't need to blame yourself. This wasn't caused by you. You should recall the numerous actions Lu Shuangshuang took before we apprehended her. And remember what I told you that day? At the small temple on the island, Lu Shuangshuang fell by herself."

After hearing Chen Yiping’s diagnosis, he recalled this very incident.

He suspected that Lu Shuangshuang's fall was likely more severe.

"You only slapped her face and shaved her head. I heard that in the early stages of pregnancy, the greatest fear is falling. So, Lu Shuangshuang might be enduring the consequences herself. Little, don't carry this burden on your own."

Jiang Shiheng was concerned Chiang Xiao would dwell on it, so he instructed Sun Han to allow her to make the call when she felt ready to report.

Chiang Xiao considered his words and agreed.

Furthermore, Lu Shuangshuang had traveled by boat to the island earlier, and later, she likely took a boat to pursue Jiang Liu and Sun Han. Such strenuous activity would undoubtedly be detrimental to the fetus.

Yet, Lu Shuangshuang was truly audacious; she was unaware she had been pregnant for over two months.

"Reflecting on it now, we were fortunate. It's a good thing we discovered Lu Shuangshuang first. Otherwise, if the Lu Family had found her before us and learned of her pregnancy, I cannot fathom the methods they would employ to fix this child onto Dad."

Chiang Xiao remembered how the Lu Family had intentionally spread rumors, claiming Lu Shuangshuang had been spending nights in the Sixth Young Master’s quarters recently.

If they had discovered her pregnancy first and insisted it was recent, pinning it on the Sixth Young Master, that would have been truly abhorrent.

"Yes, that is indeed the case."

Listening to his daughter discuss such matters, Jiang Liu felt a sense of helplessness.

Chiang Xiao quickly shifted focus from Lu Shuangshuang’s injury.

"But, Dad, given the ongoing conflicts between the Jiang Family and the Lu Family, have the hidden pests within the Jiang Family remained inactive?" Chiang Xiao inquired.

"No, there hasn't been any activity."

"They possess remarkable composure, don't they."

Chiang Xiao clenched her teeth.

It appeared they were genuinely at ease. Had they intentionally gone dormant after Jiang Liu's return, anticipating his countermoves?

"We will certainly apprehend them," Jiang Shiheng assured her. "We will capture them one by one."

"Has the Deputy Steward from the kitchen been apprehended?"

"He exploited the Jiang Family’s large freighter shipments to make his escape. It seems he realized his actions were uncovered and has no intention of returning to Country D, preparing instead to flee. However, Yue Yang's operatives have located him and dispatched personnel to capture him. Rest assured, he will undoubtedly be caught."

"It is imperative that this individual be caught. I believe he has accomplices within the Jiang Family; we should be able to capture a few more."

"Yes, I am aware." Observing Chiang Xiao's persistent concern over these matters, Jiang Shiheng felt a touch of distress. "Little, you don't need to worry so much. Dad promises to handle this situation with utmost caution and success. Can you place more faith in your father? Focus more on your painting and pursuing your interests."

"I have been painting all along..."

Chiang Xiao gnawed on her lower lip.

The primary issue was that if she didn't occupy her mind with these pressing concerns, she would constantly be thinking about Meng Xi. What should she do?

Meng Xinian must be in Ke Ku Li at this precise moment.

Here, in her tranquil and comfortable home, she spent a peaceful night, unaware of his current environment, his activities, or whether he had secured a safe place to sleep.
