Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 3140 - 3076: How Is He a Deadbeat?

Now it was Gao Ming’s turn for his face to darken.

Why was Jiang Xiao like a lingering ghost that wouldn’t go away?

She actually managed to get in here?

And why couldn’t she have been just one minute later?

"Officer Cui seems to have a guest, so once this is signed I’ll be on my way."

Cui Zhenyan raised his brows slightly.

He actually heard a faint tension in Gao Ming’s tone.

Up till now, Gao Ming’s attitude had always been lofty, with a kind of "everything under control" air, so even the slightest shift he could pick up on.

Did that mean Jiang Xiao’s visit this time had something to do with Gao Ming’s objective?

Cui Zhenyan was no fool; he thought of this right away.

He immediately put down his pen and said, "No rush, let’s see what this is about first. Come in!"

Before he even said "come in," Jiang Xiao had already pushed the door open. Behind her stood a guard with a helpless look on his face. He had seen Jiang Xiao last time, so he recognized her, and besides, he had just seen from afar that Jiang Xiao got out of Commander Cui’s car.

He had originally blocked Jiang Xiao, wanting to tell her there was still a guest inside and to have her wait a bit, but Jiang Xiao didn’t listen, and just went ahead and shouted a loud "reporting in."

So he didn’t try too hard to stop her.

"Officer Cui told me to go in," Jiang Xiao waved at him apologetically.

"Then go on in," the guard said helplessly, turning to leave.

Jiang Xiao walked in and immediately saw a sheet of paper in front of Cui Zhenyan, with a fountain pen pressing it down.

Could that be the application?

So Gao Ming really had come for this.

And it seemed he had actually managed to persuade Cui Zhenyan and was just about to get it approved.

"Jiang Xiao, what’s got you rushing in here like this?" Cui Zhenyan looked at her.

But Jiang Xiao looked at Gao Ming, waved her hand, and said, "Officer Cui, since I don’t often get the chance to run into Alliance Officer Gao, I’ve got something to discuss with him first."

Oh? She still had business with Gao Ming? Coming to settle another score, wasn’t she?

Could it still be about last time?

Sure enough, Jiang Xiao said to Gao Ming, "Alliance Officer Gao, have you been avoiding me lately or what?"

Gao Ming’s face darkened at once. How could he possibly be avoiding her? As if he needed to avoid her.

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

"Afraid I’d come to collect, right? But debts have to be repaid sooner or later. Playing deadbeat is really immoral." Jiang Xiao wasn’t afraid of Gao Ming at all; she said it outright.

What did she mean, playing deadbeat?

When had he ever been a deadbeat?

"I still owe you something?"

He kept his face stiff; he really couldn’t bring himself to smile.

Just now, talking to Cui Zhenyan, he had truly felt everything was under control, success within reach, and he’d been in an excellent mood.

But that good mood vanished completely the moment he saw Jiang Xiao walk in.

"Alliance Officer Gao, you really are so important you forget things. Your daughter-in-law almost drowned my cat. I had to take the cat to the vet, get medicine—doesn’t all that cost money? And after that incident, my Little Snowball developed a psychological shadow. For days her spirits were off, she couldn’t eat or sleep. That’s psychological trauma left over from brushing up against death. You’ve got to compensate for that, don’t you?"

Cui Zhenyan listening on the side almost burst out laughing.

Trust her to come up with that!

A cat with psychological trauma?

Not eating well, not sleeping well? And that needed compensation too?

Looking at Gao Ming’s constipated expression, he suddenly felt like he’d finally vented some of his own pent-up anger.

Cui Zhenyan was in no hurry anymore; he just sat to the side to enjoy the show.
