Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2483 - 2419: Why Haven’t You Left Yet?

Standing nearby, Sun Han paused for a second, yet he found himself unable to hold back from offering a reminder.

"Sixth Young Master, don't you think it's time to give Little Chiang a ring?"

Jiang Shiheng shot him a quick look and let out an involuntary chuckle.

"You're keeping Little's instructions in mind so closely, keeping an eye on me, right?"

"I wouldn't presume to do that. It's just that Little Chiang worries about you too."

"Fine, I'll dial her up right away. I'm not sure if she's back home or if she's still tied up at school." Jiang Shiheng shook his head grinning and headed over to the telephone.

Maybe it was that special bond between father and daughter, but right as he got close, the phone started ringing, and it turned out to be Chiang Xiao on the line.

"Daddy?"

The swift pickup caught Chiang Xiao off guard a little.

In truth, she had only intended to give it a shot, not certain whether Jiang Shiheng would even be around.

With everything that had unfolded since his return to the Jiang Family, still, she couldn't relax without placing this call. Suppose he tried reaching her while she was over at the Meng Family and she overlooked some crucial update?

Thus, the moment she reached the Meng Family, she picked up the receiver and called this line first thing.

"Little, I was on the verge of ringing you myself. Yes, per Xiao Sun's nudge, he just prompted me to get in touch."

Chiang Xiao grinned inwardly and silently praised Sun Han with a thumbs-up.

"So, sticking to our usual routine, allow me to exchange a few words with Sun Han—only a couple."

"Little, does that mean Sun Han ranks higher than your own dad now?" Jiang Shiheng remarked with a touch of exasperation.

"It's merely to check if you're only sharing the positives and skipping the negatives."

A short distance off, Meng Xinian caught Chiang Xiao's comment and couldn't suppress a smile, while he shook his head in a weary sigh.

Should Sixth Young Master Jiang truly aim to share just the upbeat parts, how would Sun Han ever hold his ground? No doubt, he must have been convinced to relay things just as Jiang wanted.

Sun Han excels in kung fu, yet when it comes to wits, he falls short of Sixth Young Master Jiang.

Therefore, Chiang Xiao missed the full story on this occasion.

Naturally, Meng Xinian had no intention of pointing this out to her on purpose; her happiness was what mattered most.

Sun Han shared a brief exchange with Chiang Xiao, and as expected, it eased her concerns a touch before she resumed her talk with Ah Liu. Ah Liu remained busy rebuilding ties with relatives, getting reacquainted with the Jiang Family Courtyard, as all the Jiang Family connections received word and came together to greet him.

This alone revealed the vast network surrounding the one at the helm of the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family itself, plus its web of linked kin.

Hearing about it all, Chiang Xiao sensed a wave of exhaustion in body and spirit, though Ah Liu assured her it was nothing major. He added that with his idle time, watching how folks reacted proved rather enjoyable, suggesting he could pick up useful details along the way.

He'd claimed the exact same before.

Chiang Xiao felt a mix of frustration.

"Dad, did you use up all the potion I handed you?"

"Yeah, just a bit remains. I've felt great over these last days, resting soundly as well, so don't fret."

"Whenever you've got a free slot in the mornings or evenings, have Sun Han show you some martial arts or basic self-defense moves. It'll boost your well-being and provide a level of protection you couldn't manage untrained."

As Chiang Xiao kept chattering away, Jiang Shiheng simply beamed and agreed with nods.

"I'm over at the Meng Family right now." Chiang Xiao went on, casting a look toward Meng Xinian: "Brother Xinian's here as well."

"You've returned to the Meng Family?"

"Not to settle in, only dropping by for the day." Chiang Xiao pondered briefly before inquiring, "Is Lu Shuangshuang lingering at the Jiang Family still?"

"Hmm..."

"What's keeping her there for so long? Is she aiming to lean on the Jiang Family to pressure you? With a stay like that, imagine the gossip that'll circulate out there?"

This very concern had been weighing on Old Master Jiang's mind back then.
