Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2376: 2312: If You Need Anything, Come to Me

“By the way, Little, is your dad returning to the Jiang Family today? Have you contacted him? What's the situation like?”
This issue weighed heavily on his mind.
Earlier that day, the thought had prompted him to hurry downstairs and phone Meng Xinian for an update. In his haste, dizziness struck, leading to his sudden collapse.
Should Jiang Shiheng face any trouble, Chiang Xiao would be devastated.
Noticing his immediate worry about it upon regaining consciousness, Chiang Xiao felt a touch of warmth.
“Yes, he came back to the Jiang Family this morning. I talked with him right before he left, and everything's proceeding well so far with no problems. I also reached out to Brother Xinian.”
Then, recalling a detail, Chiang Xiao added hastily, “Oh, Brother Xinian mentioned he's heading into the Enclosed Camp soon, so you won't be able to contact him. If something arises, be sure to call me instead.”
Was she offering to handle their concerns too?
Old Meng and Meng Chaojun gazed at her in astonishment, puzzled by her abrupt shift.
Observing their lack of concern over Meng Xinian's entry into the Enclosed Camp, Chiang Xiao understood they had no knowledge of the troop movement, so no anxiety showed on their faces.
After a moment's thought, she chose to keep the information under wraps for now. With the outcome still unclear, there was no point in causing them needless distress.
“Dad, I've got some potion here—drink a bottle to start.” Chiang Xiao slung off her backpack, set several bottles on the bedside table, and uncapped one.
Old Meng swiftly assisted Meng Chaojun into a sitting position.
Meng Chaojun continued to eye her with surprise before glancing at his father.
Old Meng gave his shoulder a reassuring pat and explained, “Little's being thoughtful. She planned to deliver the potion home regardless and simply rode with the ambulance.”
Meng Chaojun, still dazed, accepted the bottle and took a few mechanical sips.
He hadn't intended to squander Chiang Xiao's kindness, figuring a couple of swallows would suffice. Yet, the flavor hit him, and he hesitated briefly before downing the whole thing uncontrollably.
Only Chiang Xiao could brew a potion this delicious.
Finishing it off, he sensed a surge of vitality right away.
Still, considering his poor health, he regretted using the potion on himself.
“Little, no need to make this potion for me going forward. Save it and maybe sell it for some cash later,” Meng Chaojun suggested.
Chiang Xiao blinked in surprise.
“Why not?”
Hadn't he always desired the potion in the past?
Besides, didn't it provide excellent relief from his pain?
Though Meng Chaojun once harbored some bitterness toward Chiang Xiao, viewing payments for the potion as mere upkeep of ties, he now sincerely wished to spare her the expense on him.
“My condition appears to be in its final phase—medicines won't help anymore,” Meng Chaojun admitted gloomily. “I say, don't bother wasting it.”
His words brought tears brimming to Old Meng's eyes once more.
Would he truly outlive someone from the younger generation?
Chiang Xiao hesitated before responding, “Who claims it's wasted?”
A spark lit in Meng Chaojun's gaze, his pulse quickening; he turned to her and asked, “Little, are you saying my illness might still have a chance?”
In the past, Chiang Xiao hadn't been certain, as she refrained from sharing her Pure Spirit Spring Water with him.
