Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2352 - 2288: Heated Discussion

With an event of this magnitude occurring within the Jiang Family, the crowds were determined to witness the spectacle while turning a profit.

Beyond the curious onlookers, members of the media had also gathered; such significant news was an opportunity that no reporter could afford to miss.

Initially, the air was filled with a chaotic buzz of conversation, but the moment the Jiang Family’s heavy gates swung open, a sudden hush fell over the assembly.

"They’re coming out! Look, they’re here."

As the figures began to emerge, anticipation grew that the Sixth Young Master Jiang would soon make his appearance.

Chen Baoshen and Chen Yiping remained close to Old Master Jiang. Given his advanced age and the severe hardships he had recently endured, they were on constant alert. Although Chiang Xiao’s medicinal potion had aided his recovery, the physical toll of his years remained; they feared that the overwhelming excitement of the day might cause him to lose consciousness.

Furthermore, they needed to monitor the Sixth Young Master closely upon his arrival.

It hadn't been long since the Sixth Young Master had undergone a major surgical procedure.

Inside the residence, the sheer majesty of the Jiang Family had been stifling, yet stepping outside to see such a massive sea of spectators was even more jarring.

It was no wonder the Sixth Young Master had cautioned Chiang Xiao against arriving first.

Public opinion held that the Sixth Young Master could not possibly let Lu Shuangshuang down. If he suddenly appeared with a grown daughter, some loose-tongued individual would surely utter something tactless, which would only cause Chiang Xiao pain.

Additionally, given the existing prejudices, it was impossible to predict how the Jiang Family would truly receive her.

Consequently, the decision for the Sixth Young Master to return alone initially was the correct one.

The silence of the crowd lasted only a few brief seconds.

The moment Lu Shuangshuang was spotted, the crowd's instinct for gossip took over, and the chatter resumed with vigor.

"Look quickly! The lady in the white cheongsam is Miss Lu."

"Where? Oh, I see her now!"

"Miss Lu is genuinely stunning. Isn't she already thirty-six or thirty-seven? She looks as if she is barely twenty-five. A young lady from a prestigious family is truly on a different level compared to us."

"Indeed, look at how fair her skin is—it's as if she has never touched the sun. We work outdoors every day, but she is so pale her skin practically reflects the light. Tsk tsk, none of us could ever look like that."

They could never compare to the daughters of the wealthy, whose skin remained fair and hands remained soft, never having to endure the harshness of the elements.

"Still, I heard from my father that in his youth, the Sixth Young Master’s appearance was peerless. They say he was even more attractive than Miss Lu."

"That was a long time ago. I also heard he was one of the most handsome gentlemen in D State, but many years have passed. Had he remained with the Jiang Family, enjoying fine food and silk clothes, he might have maintained his looks. But he has been missing for years, wandering the world; who knows what he has turned into?"

"Exactly. Two decades in the outside world, facing such turmoil... he could be scarred, sickly, or weathered by the sun. No one can say for sure."

"Think about it—if the Sixth Young Master has truly become an unattractive farmhand, would Miss Lu still be willing to have him?"

This speculation immediately sparked even more intense debate among the onlookers.

"You're right, Miss Lu might not want to go through with the marriage in that case. Besides, the Sixth Young Master might have already started a family of his own out there."

"If he returns broken or ill, it would be a terrible loss for Miss Lu to marry him. She is still remarkably beautiful and comes from a prominent background; she could still choose a fine husband if she wanted."

"Precisely. The Sixth Young Master was originally meant to lead the Jiang Family, but if he has spent these years plowing fields like us, how could he possibly manage such a massive business empire now?"
