Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2501 - 2437: A Letter

Meng Xinian stayed calm upon hearing that, yet Chiang Xiao's emotions were roused. She sensed a kernel of validity in the statement.

Should Meng Chaojun retain his role, the Gao Family would at least hesitate before acting against them, making it far from straightforward for the foes.

Furthermore, should Meng Chaojun possess certain confidential details, they might ready themselves in advance.

"In truth, if Dad overcomes his ailment, reclaiming his post might not be out of reach, could it?"

At first, Old Meng only felt like heaving a deep breath upon catching her remark.

Could it truly be so straightforward?

"Should this sickness linger for several years, resuming duties would prove quite challenging."

"And if recovery comes swiftly?"

Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao rose together at those words, catching Old Meng off guard before his gaze brightened.

"Little one, are you suggesting...?"

"I mean to say, suppose Dad improves by year's end?"

"In that scenario, a triumphant return would be entirely feasible regardless! Chaojun hasn't reached his seventies or eighties yet. He could potentially hold that office for another decade or two, perhaps even more."

From his perspective, Meng Chaojun had suffered setbacks for years thanks to Duan Qingqing's endless whispers, rendering the already unwise man even more foolish.

However, with Duan Qingqing out of the picture now, perhaps he could sharpen his wits moving forward?

Providing support to Meng Xinian would certainly count as a positive development, at minimum.

Should father and son mend their bond, he could seek Meng Xinian's input on issues in the days ahead, with Meng Xinian offering guidance. That alone would alter everything, wouldn't it?

Well, the notion of a son counseling his father might carry a touch of awkwardness, yet it beats the current dismal state by far.

Should such an outcome materialize, he would genuinely find solace in his later years.

Chiang Xiao gave a nod, "In that case, let's aim to restore his health within the year."

Old Meng parted his lips, yet held back his intended response.

How could Chiang Xiao present it as such a breeze?

Still, a spark of optimism flickered within him. With the offhand manner in which she spoke, might she actually hold firm assurance?

Under those circumstances, he would harbor no further ambitions. Contentment would suffice. His sole lingering hope was to witness Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao wed and start a family, fulfilling everything.

"Little, will you two join us for a meal here this evening?"

No sooner had Old Meng posed the question than a guard entered to announce.

"A person surnamed Nian has arrived to escort Old Meng to dinner, claiming a prior agreement."

Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian both got to their feet at once upon that news.

Nian Che?

The audacity to show up here?

Evidently, he anticipated Old Meng might decline, hence his personal visit to fetch him.

Old Meng glanced toward Meng Xinian, then Chiang Xiao, "What's your take on this matter?"

What's your take?

Meng Xinian let out a cold laugh, "Simply refuse him entry." Addressing the guard, he instructed, "Inform him plainly that Old Meng will not attend."

"Understood."

Beyond the courtyard gates, Nian Che smirked at the reply before passing an envelope to the guard, adding, "Would you kindly deliver this note to Meng Xinian? Mention that I earnestly invite both of them to our gathering this evening. I'll await their arrival at Fuxi Restaurant."

Having said so, he departed promptly without lingering.

Meng Xinian's face subtly shifted as he examined the script on the letter delivered to him.
