Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2247 - 2183: Don’t Let Her See You

A sigh of relief escaped Meng Xinian as he watched Sister-in-law Chen finally depart.

"Little, that woman was Sister-in-law Chen, one of the family members living here. I have repeatedly informed them that I am already engaged, but they simply refuse to believe me..."

Chiang Xiao cut him off, "Oh, it sounds like they believe you just fine; they simply want to set you up regardless. That girl she mentioned sounds like a catch—a twenty-two-year-old graduate from Normal University. She seems like a perfect match for you. Are you planning to go meet her once we finish this call?"

"Chiang, Xiao, Xiao." Meng Xinian spoke through gritted teeth.

Did she really think he was that sort of man?

Chiang Xiao let out a quiet, dissatisfied snort.

"I thought you said your base was a Special Alliance? Didn't you claim that family members weren't permitted to visit casually? Why are there so many sisters-in-law wandering around now?"

"There aren't many, only four in total. Furthermore, our team utilizes a specific training camp that is strictly confidential; even the families are kept in the dark about its location. However, this particular section of the camp is different. If it weren't, how could I have arranged a dormitory for you?"

Whenever he was assigned training tasks, he moved to the Enclosed Camp, returning to this specific camp area only once those duties were finished.

The Enclosed Camp lacked telephone access, and maintaining total secrecy was mandatory; no outsiders were permitted, and contacting the world beyond was strictly forbidden.

Because of these rules, even Chiang Xiao had been kept in the dark until now.

"So you're saying all four of those sisters-in-law are trying to find you a wife? They certainly are enthusiastic."

Chiang Xiao had mentioned this offhandedly, perhaps feeling a flicker of jealousy, but her words caused a realization to dawn on Meng Xinian.

He also felt that the current atmosphere was quite peculiar.

It was definitely strange for all four sisters-in-law to suddenly become so persistent about matchmaking despite his constant rejections.

Normally, if he put on a stern face and spoke with a cold tone, people would lose their nerve and retreat. Even Sister-in-law Chen, who clearly feared him, had stubbornly pushed the issue just now. What could be the reason?

"Hey, Tyrant Meng, what's going through your head?" On the other end of the line, Chiang Xiao asked with irritation, annoyed by his sudden silence. Why wasn't he responding to her?

Hearing her call him "Tyrant," Meng Xinian realized she was truly provoked, so he moved quickly to comfort her. "Little, I am completely innocent here. You're right; this sudden meddling is suspicious. I intend to investigate it."

"And by 'investigate,' you don't mean having a pleasant conversation with that university graduate, do you?" Chiang Xiao bit her lip, showing a rare bit of temper. "I'm telling you right now, you are forbidden from meeting her! She shouldn't even be allowed to look at you!"

Meng Xinian could only manage a helpless, wry smile. "I certainly won't seek her out, but I can't exactly help it if she happens to catch a glimpse of me."

"I don't care. With a face like yours that just invites trouble, you shouldn't let anyone see you. If another woman starts pestering you, don't blame me for being ruthless."

With that final warning, Chiang Xiao slammed the phone down.

Hmph! She had been worried he was exhausted and overworked, yet people were actually busy trying to find him a girlfriend! That Tyrant Meng’s handsome face really caused too many problems!

It was infuriating!

Left standing there after Chiang Xiao hung up, Meng Xinian fell into deep thought.

What exactly was happening here?

Soon after, the retired team members Meng Xinian had reached out to arrived. Upon meeting them, Chiang Xiao performed brief interviews and decided to hire every one of them.

Though they had retired, the five men possessed impressive physical conditioning. Since two of them were married with families, Chiang Xiao discussed the matter with them before assigning them to work at the teahouse.
