Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2298 - 2234: Always Settling Things by Force
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Biting her bottom lip, Long Xiaocai spoke up, "I realize this entire situation is just a huge misunderstanding. When Sister-in-law Chen offered to introduce me to someone, I had no idea that you were already engaged..."
Sister-in-law Chen: "..."
No, that wasn't the way it happened at all!
You were the one who approached me and requested a setup. I even explicitly mentioned that Great Officer Meng had a fiancée, and you claimed you were already aware of it!
She truly felt like she was being framed.
Caught under her husband's piercing stare, Sister-in-law Chen wanted to weep, yet no tears would come.
Whether she chose to explain or remain silent, she was trapped in a miserable position.
She lacked the courage to offend Meng Xinian, but she couldn't afford to get on Long Xiaocai’s bad side either.
At that particular moment, her only wish was for a hole to open up in the ground so she could crawl inside and hide.
Suddenly, Chiang Xiao let out a soft laugh.
"Actually, I suspect this big sister here is fully aware of everything."
This big sister?
Big sister?
Long Xiaocai had always believed that Chiang Xiao’s youth was a flaw in her relationship with Meng Xinian, but being addressed as "big sister" caused her expression to darken instantly.
"I believe I am the same age as Great Officer Meng," she said, emphasizing each word.
Chiang Xiao cast a glance toward Meng Xinian and remarked, "Oh? If that's the case, Brother Xinian has certainly aged well. I'm always teasing him about being so much older than me, but looking at us, we still seem like a well-matched couple. This big sister, however, looks like she’s at least three years older than him."
Long Xiaocai was so furious she felt as though she might cough up blood.
"Chiang Xiao, are you aware of how incredibly disrespectful you are being?" she snapped, unable to restrain herself.
Chiang Xiao simply chuckled.
"Isn't it ironic for a woman plotting to steal my man to lecture me on manners?" She fixed her gaze on Long Xiaocai before letting her eyes drift toward Sister-in-law Chen as well. "I think you both have a fundamental misunderstanding of who I am."
Hmm?
A misunderstanding?
The room went still as everyone wondered what she meant.
Chiang Xiao stepped toward Long Xiaocai, a radiant smile on her face. "I am hardly some soft, defenseless little rabbit! When it comes to annoying flies who refuse to buzz off, I prefer to settle things with brute force!"
As she uttered those final words, she seized Long Xiaocai by the collar and dragged her violently toward the exit.
Long Xiaocai was completely powerless to resist the strength of the pull, watching in shock as she was easily hauled out the door.
With a final shove, Chiang Xiao released her grip.
Thump, thump, thump...
Losing her balance, Long Xiaocai stumbled backward several paces until she collided with the railing, finally steadying herself.
She stared at Chiang Xiao, her eyes filled with a mixture of disbelief and rage.
Chiang Xiao brushed her hands together as if she had just handled something filthy. Then, tilting her head, she said, "See? If you're unhappy about it, feel free to challenge me; I've never been one to back down."
Dai Gang couldn't help but rub his nose.
The Sister-in-law was becoming increasingly formidable.
Chen Yujun, Zhao Ren, and the others shared a similar look of shock.
Their eyes were wide and their mouths hung open, their jaws practically hitting the floor in surprise.
They stared at Chiang Xiao, unable to believe what they were seeing.
They really had misunderstood her!
Chiang Xiao was actually this fierce?
Old Yang struggled to suppress a laugh.
He had heard stories about this girl from Yang Zhiqi. Apparently, when she visited their Alliance District in City M, she had taken on six of their best fighters simultaneously and left them all sprawled on the ground—she was incredibly skilled.
Witnessing it firsthand gave him a much clearer impression.
It was obvious now that Meng had a taste for someone unique.
He clearly admired women who possessed such strength.
In his mind, he decided this girl was a perfect match for Buddy Meng.
After all, that kid possessed a very similar temperament.
