Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2487 - 2423: Don’t Even Think About It

"So many years have gone by; looking into this would prove quite challenging," remarked Fifth Master.

"No matter the hardship, we have to probe it!" Fourth Master's voice thundered, "I won't quit until I drag that culprit out and wipe them off the face of the earth!"

"Fine, Laosi, you're advancing in age yet remain so fiery-tempered," Old Master Jiang commented. "Investigation is absolutely essential. What befell Xiao Sixth is an outrage we Jiang Family cannot simply endure; that's not our way. Yet with Xiao Sixth freshly back and unable to recollect those past events, we lack a starting point. Allow him to remain here at home, perhaps memories will surface soon enough, and then we can proceed."

While conversing, they reached Jiang Liu's courtyard.

A pair of bodyguards flanked the entrance outside the courtyard.

Upon spotting the two stern-faced, burly guards, Fourth Master couldn't resist commenting, "Big brother, do we truly need this in our own residence?"

"Why not? I'm wary," Old Master Jiang believed it was utterly essential.

What issue arises from being within these walls?

He no longer fully trusts even Laosi and Fifth.

This household leaves him feeling somewhat dejected.

He's toiled nearly a lifetime for this clan, but to what end?

The one who harmed Xiao Sixth lurks inside the Jiang Family.

Previously, he had envisioned that upon the eventual split of the Jiang Family's holdings and fortune, it would occur equitably, impartially, sensibly—with a touch of favoritism toward kinship.

After all, their branch doesn't require vast riches anyway.

Yet following the incident with Jiang Liu, rage consumed him.

Particularly as Xiao Sixth brought up his parents' affair once more, should his son and daughter-in-law have truly fallen victim to kin, what inheritance would there be to share? No more talk of it.

Regarding the Jiang Family's assets, even without heirs to carry on, he'd sooner give it all to charity than see them claim a single coin!

"Are Grandpa and Fourth Uncle here?" Jiang Liu's voice drifted from within.

Hearing him, Fourth Master and Fifth Master shared a look.

Fourth Master laughed, "Man, I was seething with fury, but Xiao Sixth's voice just soothed me right away. Is he lounging around carefree? His tone alone brings such serenity."

An odd calmness infused Jiang Liu's manner of speaking.

Listening to him evokes the image of him seated beneath bamboo groves, savoring tea amid rustling breezes.

What if two decades have elapsed?

What if he's over thirty, nearing forty?

A fellow like Jiang Liu could undoubtedly still stir hearts and blushes among numerous women beyond these walls.

"Xiao Sixth, your Fifth Uncle has come as well," Old Master Jiang announced, guiding them inside the courtyard.

Jiang Liu felt cheerful after his phone chat with his daughter.

Still, the welcoming grin on his face faded a touch as they appeared.

Yet it remained flawless.

"Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle."

Gazing at the figure poised beneath the veranda, far removed from the boyish visage etched in recollections. Sunlight spilled forth, bypassing his features yet illuminating his light beige cotton attire and one hand, casting a blend of light and warmth that highlighted his grin and sparkling gaze, as though time had gently carved him rather than eroded him.

Capital City, Meng Family.

Once the call ended, Chiang Xiao headed to the kitchen. She'd promised to whip up a simple meal today.

Old Meng was overjoyed.

He'd dreamed of such family harmony innumerable times, yet never tasted it through all these years.

This old Meng Family estate had turned ever more lonely.
