Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2432 - 2368: Don’t Attend

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...

Chiang Xiao recounted the suspicious encounter to Meng Xinian, who warned her against agreeing to paint the picture Hu Xiangyong requested, explaining it as a ploy to uncover if she had seen the scene firsthand through subtle artistic details. Alarmed by Hu's cunning and the ongoing threat to Meng Xinian's life, Chiang Xiao proposed eliminating him in the Space, but Meng Xinian refused, insisting she avoid such risks and bloodshed while he investigated Hu's background. He arranged for extra bodyguards to shadow her constantly, with rotations ensuring her protection. That night, they rested in the Space after she tended his wound, and by morning, it had scabbed over.

Thus, the enhanced spring had intensified every one of its effects.

Chiang Xiao shared the details about the D State situation with Meng Xinian, yet he opposed her heading back to reconnect with her family quite so quickly.

Still, following the initial strategy, Ah Liu should solidify her position at home first, and only once clarity settles in everyone's thoughts would she return.

"Yeah, head there over the summer break."

Naturally, the ideal timing would be after their wedding ceremony.

He had no desire for a crowd from the Jiang Family to show up at their wedding. Although he aimed to host a vibrant celebration for Chiang Xiao, having extra guests didn't always improve things.

He remained uncertain about the true intentions within the Jiang Family—who was sincere and who was not. Should they spoil his big day, he couldn't promise he wouldn't take action.

Chiang Xiao likely hadn't considered extending invitations to the Jiang Family anyway.

Aside from just a handful of close relatives.

He stayed silent, but Chiang Xiao could read his mind.

As a result, she intended to visit the Jiang Family following the wedding in late August.

That said, slipping away to visit her father and assess the circumstances beforehand would be fine too.

Come midday, Dai Gang placed a call.

Right as Meng Xinian chatted with him on the phone, a vehicle horn blared from outside.

A flutter stirred in her chest, prompting Chiang Xiao to dash out and check.

Whenever Meng Xinian was present, Ding Haijing and his crew typically paused their work.

Chiang Xiao swung the door open and spotted a shiny new vehicle parked just outside.

A stern-faced gentleman waited beside it; upon noticing her at the door, he approached.

"Miss Jiang, I'm Old Yan, sent to bring you the car."

"Did my aunt send you?"

"Indeed, Madam instructed me to tell Miss Jiang that she'll drop by for a meal this evening. It would help if Miss Jiang could prepare accordingly."

Was Jiang Yingqiong planning to visit tonight?

She tended to stay swamped with work. Did this mean some urgent matter?

"Alright, understood."

Old Yan passed the keys to Chiang Xiao and inquired, "Would you like a rundown? And who might be handling the driving, Miss Jiang?"

"No thanks."

She figured Ding Haijing or the others could manage it, and if not, Meng Xinian was an option since he knew how to drive.

Old Yan gave a nod, "In that case, I'll head out."

Chiang Xiao observed him departing, curiosity piqued, then strolled to the car and ran her hand over it.

In that instant, a rush of excitement and joy surged through her.

This marked her very first car ever, stirring emotions much like acquiring her initial home.

Now she owned a place to live and wheels to roll in.

Maybe she ought to persuade Meng Xinian to give her a drive around?

As she admired the vehicle, a voice called out to her.

"Chiang Xiao."

Recognizing Du Jinruo's tone, Chiang Xiao stood tall, hesitated briefly, and spun around.

Du Jinruo waited ahead, clutching a bag of items.

Chiang Xiao arched a brow, "You're not really here for me, are you?"

Du Jinruo shook her head, "No, just dropping off some stuff. Yun Xian's place is under renovation."

"So you two are seriously tying the knot?"

At that revelation, Chiang Xiao's pulse quickened.

Had Kuang Yunxian and Du Jinruo truly paired up?

This development genuinely caught her off guard.

She had assumed that even with a spark of affection between them, the Du Family would never approve.

After all, Kuang Yunxian's standing fell short in the eyes of the Du Family.

"Yes." Du Jinruo nibbled her lip before adding, "Truth is, I stopped by today to talk about something with you too. Would you and Meng... the officer mind skipping our wedding?"
