Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2345 - 2281: How Is That Unethical?

It was no exaggeration for Chiang Xiao to say she would prepare a hundred Peace Talisman diagrams if Meng Xinian was eventually deployed.

She was even contemplating whether she could accompany him on his mission.

However, upon further reflection, she knew Meng Xinian would never agree to such a thing.

"Brother Xinian, what exactly did you do to them?"

Chiang Xiao was genuinely intrigued, dying to know how Meng Xinian had dealt with those individuals.

With an indifferent shrug, Meng Xinian replied, "It was nothing major. There is a long-abandoned septic tank in the town. Today, I simply organized the men into teams for a competition; the losing side had to clean it out. Additionally, a village under Anbu is attempting to start a mushroom cultivation industry this year. Since the location is remote, they must transport cow dung from other villages to prepare the soil. During the transport, someone always manages to flip the carts, spilling manure everywhere. Our team is helping clear the roads, and the losers are tasked with continuing that work."

Pfft.

That certainly sounds... pungent.

Chiang Xiao could almost smell the overwhelming stench just by listening to his description.

She couldn't help but giggle, "Isn't that being a little bit mean?"

"Hmm?" Meng Xinian’s voice dropped an octave, his expression turning solemn, "How can you call it mean to serve the people and perform good deeds? They should be throwing themselves into such activities with absolute enthusiasm."

"So, did your team come out on top?"

"Have you ever known me to lose?"

How arrogant.

Recalling Ding Haijing’s words from earlier, Chiang Xiao immediately questioned, "If you were to go head-to-head with Wei Yixi, who do you think would win?"

"Wei Yixi?" At the mention of that name, Meng Xinian’s expression darkened instantly. Why was she suddenly bringing him up?

"Don't act like you don't know him. I've heard there’s a saying in the Alliance: Wei of the Sea and Meng of the Land."

Meng Xinian narrowed his eyes, asking, "Who told you that? Has Ding Haijing arrived?"

"Yes, I met him just this afternoon."

"That kid certainly has a big mouth. You don't need to pay much attention to what he says."

It appeared that Meng Xinian was indeed well-acquainted with Ding Haijing.

Chiang Xiao briefly considered mentioning that Ding Haijing felt strangely familiar to her, but she decided against it. If he was someone from her previous life, she couldn't risk a slip of the tongue in front of Meng Xinian.

However, she needed to confirm if the man was reliable.

"There isn't any problem with him, is there?"

After a brief pause, Meng Xinian answered, "There's no issue; he is trustworthy."

"Oh." Chiang Xiao realized he was dodging her earlier question, "You still haven't said who would win between you and Wei Yixi."

"Why are you so interested in him?" Meng Xinian’s face grew even gloomier. He had no desire to discuss Wei Yixi with Chiang Xiao. Among their peers, Wei Yixi was the only one he truly respected and viewed as a formidable rival.

Furthermore, Wei Lengmian had previously made the shocking suggestion of introducing Chiang Xiao to Wei Yixi, which had put Meng Xinian on high alert.

According to the rumors, Wei Yixi had already broken the hearts of countless young women—

It seemed every girl who met him fell under his spell, yet he remained cold and merciless to them all. So many hearts had been shattered by him.

In contrast, Meng Xinian’s social circle had never allowed any girls to get close.

Yes, thinking about it that way, he was clearly a much better man than that fellow.

"Didn't I say it already? You are both famous—Wei of the Sea and Meng of the Land—so I'm naturally curious." Chiang Xiao suddenly let out a soft laugh, "Brother Xinian, could it be that you're afraid you can't beat him, which is why you won't talk about it?"
