Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2265 - Capítulo 2265: 2201: I Want to Get Married

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Du Jinruo publicly defends Kuang Yunxian’s virtues to ward off Gao Wei’s interference, leading to a swift and unexpected escape from the teahouse. Despite their lack of familiarity, Kuang Yunxian finds himself moved by her praise and agrees to help her navigate the social fallout of their perceived relationship. Concerned about Gao Wei’s potential for retaliation, he offers his support, only for the situation to shift when Du Jinruo suggests their partnership might not be a joke. Faced with the pressure of her age and family expectations, she finally asks Kuang Yunxian if he is already involved with someone else.

Kuang Yunxian gave a blank shake of his head.

“Is there a person you hold feelings for?”

Someone he liked?

Kuang Yunxian hesitated for a moment before shaking his head once more. “No.”

Du Jinruo bit down on her lower lip and spoke up. “In that case, could it be me? I have a desire to get married, and once wed, I will do my utmost to be an excellent wife. Are you willing to marry me?”

“Comrade Du, we... we have only been acquainted for a handful of days...”

“We have known of each other for a long time,” Du Jinruo countered. “Even if we weren't close, haven't we heard stories about one another indirectly since we were children? Furthermore, our families are well-acquainted, aren't they? I am aware of your personal circumstances, and you know something of mine as well, don't you? Taken that way, we aren't truly strangers.”

Kuang Yunxian found himself at a loss for words.

“Besides, if you are still hesitant, why don't we grant ourselves a few days? We can go on dates during this time to clarify anything we're unsure about. What are your thoughts?”

“Are you being serious?”

“I am.”

Kuang Yunxian observed her, pursing his lips before saying, “Then... I shall come for you tomorrow afternoon. We can start with dinner and then catch a movie. Does that suit you?”

“It does.”

“What sort of films do you enjoy?”

“Anything is fine, though I might walk out in the middle if it’s boring. Would that bother you?”

It wasn't until the following day that Chiang Xiao learned of the disturbance Gao Wei had caused at the tea house.

Furthermore, it was Liu Guoying who delivered the news to her.

That morning, after attending a session at the art academy, she requested a three-day leave of absence. In response, Liu Guoying made a playful motion as if to strike her with a book.

“Neglecting your duties! Utterly neglecting your duties! A student of painting runs off to open a tea house, and then fails to even manage it properly after the doors are open!”

“Sir, is it necessary to scold me every time we meet?” At first, Chiang Xiao was confused by the outburst, assuming he was simply feeling protective of his wife’s hard work in managing the establishment.

But hadn't she already dispatched Old He and Old Lee to assist there?

They were more than capable of lightening the teacher’s wife’s load.

“What do you mean, 'nothing'? How could you say that? Are you unaware that someone came to trash your shop yesterday? I suspect you haven't heard a word!” Liu Guoying huffed, his beard puffing out as he glared at her.

Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao felt her heart sink.

“Another person came to cause trouble? Is the teacher’s wife alright?” Chiang Xiao could no longer remain calm.

She would never forgive herself if any harm had come to the teacher’s wife.

“She is unharmed. That individual merely smashed a cup and later broke one of your teapots. He claimed his name is Gao Wei and said that if you have the nerve, you should go to the Gao Family to demand restitution.”

Liu Guoying gave a sharp snort. “The youth of today are truly something else. Even your teacher’s wife couldn't restrain him, so I advised her to leave the matter for you to handle.”

“Gao Wei.”

Chiang Xiao whispered the name to herself.

The Gao Family—how very formidable.

That teapot was a custom-made piece, a genuine Purple Sand Teapot.

She was merely operating a tea house, wasn't she? Between her high-quality tea and those rare delicacies, even if her prices were steep, did the patrons truly lose out?

Not in the slightest!

By consuming those items, they were nourishing their bodies and improving their health over the long term. Wasn't their physical well-being worth such a price?

Chiang Xiao never believed she was unfairly seeking wealth.

If she had used those same ingredients to craft medicine instead of tea, increasing their potency slightly before selling them, the cost would have been many times higher.

Honestly, she had only opened a single tea house, yet so many people were offended, showing up one after another to provoke her?

Do they honestly believe she is incapable of fury!
