Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2466 - 2402: I Don’t Want to Mention Him Either

Fortunately, the vegetables sourced from the Space contain Spiritual Energy, making them highly beneficial for Meng Chaojun to consume. Old Meng can also rely on them to restore his health.

Old Meng, naturally, felt overjoyed upon hearing this.

After all, anything Chiang Xiao offers is always top-notch.

Moreover, with Chiang Xiao now ready to share items with them, it clearly indicates a major improvement in their bond, and her acceptance of the family. This naturally fills them with joy and eases their worries.

"Can you manage to carry it? If not, I can have Meng Sheng come fetch it."

Chiang Xiao intended to visit with Meng Xinian the next day, so handling it herself was no issue.

"I can handle it easily, and besides, I've purchased a car—I've got one now."

"Is that true?" Both Old Meng and Meng Chaojun showed clear astonishment.

For a young woman to own a car was truly impressive.

Chiang Xiao confirmed, "Yes, so things will be far more convenient from now on."

"That's fantastic, absolutely fantastic."

Meng Chaojun abruptly recalled the earlier visitor and couldn't resist inquiring, "Dad, who was that fellow just now? He mentioned inviting us to Fuxi Restaurant for a meal tomorrow to catch up. I don't know him at all."

Chiang Xiao turned her gaze toward Old Meng as well.

"Exactly, I spotted someone departing earlier too—is he some family relative?"

"He is... not exactly..."

Old Meng appeared somewhat uneasy.

"So, is he or isn't he?" Chiang Xiao arched an eyebrow.

Shouldn't it be straightforward if he's kin?

"That was Nian Che, Chaojun."

"What?"

Meng Chaojun stared in disbelief.

Nian Che?

Chiang Xiao inquired steadily, "Is he the uncle that Nian Mutong once mentioned?"

"Yes, that's him."

Meng Chaojun exclaimed in surprise, "But how does he appear like that nowadays? In the past, he..."

"You all weren't aware back then—he suffered an accident, caught in a blaze that left him scarred. Afterward, word spread of overseas doctors skilled in treating burn marks, so he went to great lengths to leave the country."

Meng Chaojun's expression turned sour.

Realizing it had been Nian Che visiting earlier left him feeling as if he'd ingested a fly—utterly revolting.

"So why has he returned?"

"We'll discuss that another time." Old Meng seemed reluctant to dwell on it.

Meng Chaojun grumbled with a dark look, "I don't want to think about him anyway. The audacity to invite us for dinner tomorrow and chat about old times!"

"That's enough—it's all in the past, no point rehashing it." Old Meng dismissed it with a wave.

Meng Sheng arrived home right then.

With Meng Sheng there to keep an eye on Meng Chaojun, Chiang Xiao suggested, "Grandpa, how about we take a stroll downstairs?"

"Alright, let's head out."

Old Meng was feeling a touch claustrophobic himself.

They descended the stairs, and Chiang Xiao matched his pace, noticing Old Meng's evident distress. She probed, "Grandpa, are you somewhat wary of that Nian Che?"

"Wary? What makes you think so?" Old Meng seemed startled.

Chiang Xiao admitted openly, "Truth is, I caught part of your talk with him earlier."

Old Meng's eyes widened, and after a prolonged pause, he released a deep sigh.

"Little one, since we're family and you're such a clever, reliable young person, I'll level with you."

They strolled a bit more until they arrived at a pavilion. Old Meng gestured for her to sit, gazed afar, and sighed once more before speaking deliberately, "If you overheard our exchange just now, you probably already pieced together the bulk of it."

"Did this Nian Che once harbor feelings for Brother Xinian's mother?" Chiang Xiao questioned.

Old Meng wore an expression that said she'd hit the mark.

"Indeed, I myself was in the dark at first—after all, they always addressed each other as brother and sister."
