Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2478 - 2414: Don’t Let Him Get His Way
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Meng Xinian clamped his lips shut, staying silent.
Chiang Xiao felt like sighing as well.
What's going on here?
Thoughts of Nian Che flooded her mind, recalling his words to her in the hospital back then—perhaps he had already uncovered her true identity? Figured out her connection to Meng Xinian?
Back in those days, if he had pushed hard to split Meng Chaojun and Nian Chengcheng apart, would he now pull out all the stops to drive a wedge between her and Meng Xinian?
Could a man like him even recognize genuine love in others?
She absolutely loathed this individual!
"Brother Xinian, regardless of anything, we should head back first. We're not even sure if Grandfather is actually heading to Fuxi Restaurant tomorrow evening."
Who could predict Nian Che's next move?
Meng Xinian remained quiet, offering no words.
Chiang Xiao pressed on, "How about you enter the space first, and I'll activate the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram? That way, we can return straight away and cut down on time."
Driving through the night to get home would wear them out completely.
At last, Meng Xinian broke his silence.
"The distance is still too great at the moment; I'll drive a bit farther before we shift back so you don't pass out again." With that, he ignited the engine.
Chiang Xiao let out a quiet breath of relief.
His choice to return without resistance was a positive sign.
Meng Xinian's approach proved spot on.
Chiang Xiao slipped into the space initially to rest and restore her energy, as he steered the vehicle for more than three hours toward their home, reducing the gap between them, then he located a secluded spot where Chiang Xiao drew both him and the car inside the space; there, he caught some solid sleep, and afterward, Chiang Xiao triggered the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram, transporting them along with the car to the Capital City.
This method ensured neither faced excessive fatigue.
It had just turned early morning by the following day.
After a meal for breakfast and a short nap, rising near nine o'clock left them both vibrant and alert—who would guess they had covered thousands of miles?
On this particular day, Chiang Xiao continued her leave.
"Awake already? Want to head to the hospital?" Chiang Xiao gazed at Meng Xinian. "Dad's updated treatment schedule gets revealed today; let's check it out."
"No more hatred for him?" Then why the sudden eagerness regarding his affairs?
Chiang Xiao nearly blurted out that it was all for his sake.
That it stemmed from the fact he was Meng Xinian's real father?
With a light laugh, she remarked: "Brother Xinian, consider this—since Nian Che hopes to witness Dad pass away in sorrow and remorse, shouldn't we thwart his desires entirely?"
Meng Xinian paused in surprise.
Chiang Xiao went on, "I realize resentment lingers in your heart; if only he'd been sharper then, discerned the truth more keenly, stayed a tad more alert, none of this would have unfolded. Yet, Brother Xinian, anyone can get deceived by appearances, and traits don't develop in a flash—if all were as astute as you, the world would overflow with geniuses, but that's not reality."
A soft chuckle escaped Meng Xinian as he gently tapped her nose. "Quite the chatterbox, aren't you? Well, you've eased my mind considerably."
"I'm completely earnest." Chiang Xiao reflected on her previous life, where she had been just as naive.
Yet in moments of naivety, clarity escapes one's grasp; bystanders always spot the obvious with ease, but when it's personal, how few achieve the sharp insight of an omniscient view?
Besides, hidden forces were at play behind the scenes.
Meng Chaojun's naivety sparked those outcomes years ago, though he wasn't the sole factor involved.
"Okay, got more to add?" Meng Xinian had risen already, shedding his attire before heading to the closet to select fresh garments to don.
