Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2958 - 2894: I Really Do Want to Beat Him to Death
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
But if all those situations he dreamed about were related to himself, or to the people around him, what meaning would that have for them?
Besides, since they already had such formidable high technology, couldn’t they do something else instead? What use was there in researching dreams like Jiang Shiheng’s?
No matter how she thought about it, Jiang Xiao just couldn’t figure it out.
"Are you done asking?"
Meng Xinian looked at Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao nodded.
The next second, Meng Xinian swung a vicious kick straight at Dai Zhongwen.
This time, the force of his kick was much greater than the one before.
Dai Zhongwen, chair and all, was sent flying by the kick. When he crashed to the ground, his body smashed the chair apart with a bang.
Lying on a pile of splintered wood, Dai Zhongwen coughed up a mouthful of blood and immediately passed out.
From that one kick, it was obvious he was already badly injured.
Meng Xinian was about to go at him again when Jiang Xiao quickly grabbed him.
"Alright, Brother Xinian, he’s already unconscious. Are you planning to beat him to death?"
"I really do want to kill him."
Meng Xinian was icy from head to toe, the look in his eyes toward Dai Zhongwen sharp as a drawn sword, as if he wished he could just plunge a blade straight into the man’s heart and finish him off.
This bastard.
Not killing him hardly even began to ease the fury in his chest.
"You know perfectly well you can’t kill him."
Jiang Xiao tugged him toward the bedroom. "Come on, go take a shower first. I’ll have someone come handle it. Just don’t look at him anymore—the more you look, the angrier you’ll get."
Meng Xinian drew in a deep breath and pushed her aside with a reversed hand.
"Let me handle it. You go inside first."
How could he possibly let her stay here?
Jiang Xiao looked at him, a bit worried. "Then don’t lay a hand on him anymore, okay?"
"Don’t worry."
Jiang Xiao went into the bedroom, looking back over her shoulder every few steps.
But since she had already decided to leave it to him, she naturally trusted that he’d be able to control himself.
When she came out after her shower, Meng Xinian was sitting in the courtyard, long legs stretched out, hands braced behind him as he tilted his head back to look at the sky.
Jiang Xiao couldn’t help lifting her head to look as well.
In this era, the air in the Capital City wasn’t that bad yet; you could still see the stars twinkling.
The broken chair in the courtyard had already been cleaned up, and that pile of wood splinters had likely been taken out and thrown away by Meng Xinian. In any case, the courtyard was very clean.
Dai Zhongwen was nowhere to be seen.
"What are you looking at?"
Jiang Xiao brought out a cup of Spring Water and walked over to him, handing him the glass.
Meng Xinian took it and drank, then looked at her and said, "The stars."
"Admiring the moon and the starlight? How come I never noticed you were this romantic before?" Jiang Xiao blinked.
Meng Xinian chuckled softly.
"My wife is an artist, after all. I have to learn to have a bit of artistic flair too—romantic and poetic—so that you won’t just see me as some roughneck and look down on me."
He honestly felt that Jiang Xiao was too good for him, that being with him was an injustice to her; what did he really have to offer?
Jiang Xiao was stunned.
When had he ever belittled himself like this?
"You think you’re not good enough for me?" She blinked and said, "Then maybe I should go find someone who is good enough for me?"
The words had barely left her mouth when Meng Xinian ground out through his teeth, "You try it!"
Jiang Xiao burst out laughing.
"I’m not that great either, but unless you never get married in this lifetime, you’ll just have to settle for marrying me, because someone like me is already the best there is in this world."
Jiang Xiao: "..."
She admitted she was wrong and took back what she’d just said.
