Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2348 - 2284: He Cannot Let Her Down

Early the following morning, Chiang Xiao snapped awake and sat up in her bed immediately.

She was suddenly reminded of the slightly envious remarks Meng Xinian had made the day before.

What was it again?

Her brother-in-law had given him instructions?

It seemed that out of sheer jealousy, he was even prepared to acknowledge Cheng Cheng as his brother-in-law.

Heh.

That man truly becomes childish whenever he gets jealous.

Nevertheless, Meng Xinian had finally provided her with Cheng Cheng’s contact details last night. She hadn't even had the chance to place a call when Cheng Cheng’s call reached her first.

It wasn't hard to guess that her line had been busy with Meng Xinian, as he had attempted to ring her several times without success.

Chiang Xiao felt a sense of relief wash over her after finishing her conversation with Cheng Cheng.

Knowing he had been deployed to D State for a specific mission, Cheng Cheng had given his absolute best in every regard since his arrival.

He had first secured the loyalty of his subordinates before extracting all the necessary intelligence, gaining a comprehensive understanding of D State in the process.

Simultaneously, he had arranged for trustworthy individuals to assist him in monitoring Lu Shuangshuang.

The most crucial point was that he would be escorting Ah Liu directly from the inn to the Jiang Family today.

As he described it, D State was currently in a state of total upheaval.

Word that the Sixth Young Master Jiang was alive and preparing to reclaim his identity within the Jiang Family had spread everywhere. From government circles and business guilds down to the common citizens, everyone had been buzzing about the Sixth Young Master Jiang for the past two days.

Crowds were even gathering outside the inn, desperate to catch a glimpse of what the Sixth Young Master looked like now.

Many still held memories of the Sixth Young Master Jiang from twenty years ago—a youth as elegant as fine jade.

Rumors of all kinds were circulating among the populace.

Some claimed he was deathly ill and had only returned to draw his final breath on his native soil.

Others speculated that he had encountered great peril during those turbulent years, suffering various injuries. Some suggested he was disfigured, while others guessed he was disabled.

Naturally, there were more gentle theories as well.

For example, some thought that after drifting for so long, he might have married a village girl in some remote place, living the life of an ordinary farmer for over a decade and losing all the refined airs of a Young Master from a great aristocratic family.

There were also whispers that his return was intended to spark a fight over the family inheritance. However, since he had been missing for twenty years while other masters helped Old Master Jiang manage the estate, many felt the Sixth Young Master Jiang would no longer be qualified to take control of the Jiang Family.

Speculations were flying in every direction.

Chiang Xiao had emotionally braced herself for this, so the news didn't strike her as odd.

She harbored great confidence that Ah Liu could manage these situations on his own.

To be honest, aside from that hidden enemy lurking in the shadows, Chiang Xiao wasn't particularly worried about anything else.

As for Lu Shuangshuang...

Cheng Cheng informed her that Lu Shuangshuang had already reached the Jiang Family two days prior.

When Chiang Xiao asked if he had seen her, Cheng Cheng replied that he hadn't.

Since arriving at the Jiang Family, Lu Shuangshuang had not stepped out again, as she was currently the focal point of the surrounding storm.

The Lu Family’s Shuangshuang had waited with unwavering devotion for the Sixth Young Master Jiang. Previously, people viewed her as a fool for wasting her life in a futile wait, never expecting her to actually endure until the clouds parted to reveal the bright moon and the Sixth Young Master Jiang returned.

Now, the residents of D State were gossiping over their meals, wondering just how moved the Sixth Young Master Jiang would be by Lu Shuangshuang’s loyalty and when their magnificent wedding would take place.

Cheng Cheng told Chiang Xiao, "Everyone believes that regardless of whether Godfather married while he was away, he cannot treat Lu Shuangshuang unfairly."

"Whether he married or not? If my father truly did marry, how could he possibly not wrong her?"

Chiang Xiao’s expression darkened as she asked, "Do they mean to imply he should divorce his wife just to marry Lu Shuangshuang?"

A sense of foreboding gripped her. Although she had anticipated this, it seemed the weight of public opinion would be even more oppressive than she had imagined.
