Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2713 - 2649: Anomaly

While dining, Jiang Xiao observed Meng Chaojun and noticed that despite his low spirits, his physical condition appeared to be improving.

This brought her a sense of relief.

A heart ailment indeed requires a remedy for the heart.

Neither the Spirit Spring Water nor the Spatial Medicine could fix the emotional distress born from regret.

She felt unable to assist, nor did she wish to expend effort on this matter.

After all, Meng Chaojun had inflicted considerable pain on Meng Jinba in the past, so certain consequences were inevitable.

Naturally, if he could resolve it himself, she certainly wouldn't impede him.

Following the meal, she joined them for tea and engaged in conversation for a period. Old Meng persistently urged her to remain at home for a few days, but Jiang Xiao needed to locate Qingshuang, so she declined.

As she was preparing to depart, Meng Sheng emerged and followed her.

"Jiang Xiao, there's something I wish to discuss with you."

"Let's take a stroll then," Jiang Xiao suggested. She had initially intended to meet Meng Sheng tomorrow to talk, but seeing him emerge to follow her now sent a ripple of concern through her.

Could something have happened?

It must be something he found inconvenient to mention in the presence of the Meng family father and son, which was why he had followed her out.

Meng Sheng nodded, gesturing towards a section of the yard. "There's a small court over there; let's go there."

Upon arriving at the small court with Meng Sheng, Jiang Xiao found it to be a tranquil spot, complete with exercise equipment like parallel bars.

The steps bordering the court were remarkably clean, suggesting frequent use.

Two streetlights stood near the court, casting a soft glow, and a few individuals were still milling about the area.

"I’ve never been to this place before."

She realized there was such a court within the compound, indicating she hadn't thoroughly explored the grounds, having always confined her movements to the path between the gate and the Meng residence.

Meng Sheng chuckled, "Xinian used to spar here often when he was younger, or rather, he frequently brought other children from the yard here for fights."

A fleeting image surfaced in Jiang Xiao's mind: the young Tyrant Meng, fists flying, overpowering several other boys.

The undisputed tyrant of the yard, truly...

A smile touched her lips as she remarked, "I can only hope he's now delivering decisive blows to enemies, leaving them utterly defenseless."

"He should be in Kuli right now, shouldn't he?"

"Yes."

"You needn’t worry excessively. Xinian is incredibly formidable; he's always the one doing the beating, never the one being beaten."

Jiang Xiao nodded. "I hope so. Brother Meng Sheng, did you have something you wished to discuss with me?"

Meng Sheng had initially been somewhat hesitant to broach the subject, but hearing her direct inquiry, he quickly affirmed.

"Yes, I've visited Liuli Street several times, but you weren't present either time. Didn't I have someone tailing Nian Che previously?"

"Yes, grandpa mentioned it before you arrived today. I'll be returning to City M in a few days, but I'll have someone maintain surveillance at home. Should any issues arise, you can contact me at my City M number. If you can't reach me, you can also visit my residence; my bodyguard will be there, and you can inform him directly. He will find a way to manage it."

As Jiang Xiao spoke, she retrieved a piece of paper, jotted down her home phone number in City M, and handed it to him.

Meng Sheng accepted it, glanced at the number, and then put it away.

"Actually, there are some matters I haven't disclosed yet. Nian Che exhibits some unusual behavior."

Jiang Xiao’s eyes widened in surprise.

"What kind of behavior?"

Meng Sheng elaborated, "Although Nian Che seems to live in a place frequented by various individuals, those observing him have noted certain things. They reported that when Nian Che enters and exits, he encounters quite a number of people, appearing to exchange glances with them and occasionally making subtle gestures."
