Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2271 - 2207: Visiting the Bully

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Chiang Xiao prepares a special tea leaf pillow for Li Hanzhong to treat his insomnia, secretly planning to enhance its effectiveness with a Calm Spirit Talisman. Ying Qiong offers her expert needlework to assist, leading to a plan for several custom pillows filled with medicinal tea and fragrant dried flowers. As Jiang Shiheng prepares to depart, Chiang Xiao packs a car full of supplies and Lingzhi, strictly instructing his companion to ensure these gifts remain only for her father. The farewell is emotional as Chiang Xiao says a tearful goodbye to Ah Liu before his journey.

"Dad, you absolutely must be careful; if anything occurs, you have to call me. If I can't answer, contacting Brother Xinian or the school is also acceptable. But you absolutely mustn't remain silent, okay?"

Jiang Shiheng experienced a sensation akin to a son embarking on an extensive journey, with his mother meticulously reminding him of every detail.

This feeling prompted an involuntary chuckle from him.

Nevertheless, his heart was heavy with reluctance at the prospect of parting from Chiang Xiao.

"I understand; you should follow the same advice. Remember to call me if anything happens, and I'll contact you once I'm home. Promise me, wherever you go, bring someone with you, and also exercise a bit of caution yourself, alright?"

He was concerned because danger seemed to lurk around her.

However, perhaps a shared trait between father and daughter was their resolve to confront whatever came, rather than recoiling from peril and retreating together, afraid to act or venture anywhere.

Whatever tasks required completion, whatever challenges needed facing, they would address them.

Before danger manifested, they had to exert their utmost effort.

By that point, perhaps they would become a source of danger for others?

Chiang Xiao acknowledged this with a nod.

"I know."

"Alright, dad is departing now. You need to prepare and go see Xinian."

Her father's words caused Chiang Xiao's tears to recede.

She burst into laughter.

Tyrant Meng should express gratitude to her father, who consistently reminded her to visit him.

She observed Ah Liu entering the car, which then drove away, disappearing down the alley until it was no longer visible. Only then did she sniffle and re-enter the house.

Indeed, she needed to make preparations for her trip to Anbu Town.

Humph, she had to ascertain whether Tyrant Meng was genuinely meeting with some affluent girl!

Even if he wasn't looking, she found it displeasing when other women stared at him!

Luo Yongsheng remained at home to manage affairs, while Chiang Xiao was accompanied by Guan Tiezhu.

However, they did not walk side by side; Guan Tiezhu simply followed at a moderate distance, with neither of them uttering a word.

Regarding the teahouse, Chiang Xiao had already briefed Old He and Old Lee.

They understood their instructions.

This marked Chiang Xiao's inaugural visit to Anbu Town.

Fortunately, a direct minibus service was available.

Although the minibus's scent was not particularly pleasant.

Yet, it wasn't overly crowded.

Reflecting on Tyrant Meng taking this minibus repeatedly, she couldn't help but ponder if he found it bothersome?

Nevertheless, whenever he had leisure, Tyrant Meng would hasten back to the Capital.

In the future, she would acquire a car and transport him herself when he needed to return to Anbu Town.

Guan Tiezhu knew how to drive, so she would have him drive from then on.

Following an hour-long journey, Chiang Xiao felt a slight dizziness from the constant jostling.

Perhaps knowing Guan Tiezhu was also on the bus offered her a degree of reassurance.

Even though she had mentioned on the phone previously that she would arrive after Ah Liu departed, she hadn't specified a time, nor had she informed Meng Xinian in advance on this occasion.

Consequently, when she stood at the camp gate and was halted to inquire about the person she sought, she felt a little flustered.

Suddenly, she recalled something Tyrant Meng had said before.

She still owed him an unfulfilled task.

The guard maintained a very serious demeanor, not treating her any differently due to her appearance. He even seemed quite vigilant, as if prepared to apprehend her without mercy should she exhibit any suspicious behavior.

"Comrade, I'm asking you, are you here to find someone?"

"Yes," Chiang Xiao quickly affirmed with a nod.
