Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2507 - 2443: Fool for Life

The woman who bore her has passed away...

A cold dread settled into Chiang Xiao's heart.

Exactly how did that woman perish?

Could it truly be mere coincidence that her death struck immediately after childbirth?

Nian Che seemed utterly terrifying to her.

"Brother Xinian, let's go." She tugged Meng Xinian to his feet.

They had arrived solely to obtain Nian Chengcheng’s letter and discover its contents. With that accomplished, what reason remained to linger?

"Departing already?" Nian Che's voice abruptly sharpened, "Don't you wonder who my bride might be?"

Chiang Xiao came to a halt and pivoted back.

"Nian Che, perhaps your condition has deteriorated so much that you're oblivious to it. Still, I recommend seeing a psychiatrist; something feels amiss up here."

She tapped her temple before adding, "That being said, I doubt you're salvageable anymore, since your ailment is evidently in its advanced phase and probably beyond cure."

"Hahaha," Nian Che chuckled, "You're quite the jester. Yet my intended wife must have reached here by now."

No sooner had he spoken than the door burst open, admitting a lady dressed in a plum-toned gown.

Chiang Xiao glanced over and confronted her.

Likely thanks to her prior mental preparation, she displayed remarkable composure at the woman's appearance.

Chen Zhu—it was none other than Chen Zhu.

The woman absent for so long now materialized before her in this manner.

An unexpected urge to laugh bubbled up within Chiang Xiao.

Why did this Chen Zhu strike her as so laughably pitiable?

What defined the sum of Chen Zhu's existence?

Is it possible for someone to err in foolishness just once, or persist in idiocy forever?

Clearly, Chen Zhu had embodied foolishness throughout her life, and she continued to do so.

Meng Xinian gripped her hand tightly.

Chiang Xiao harbored no rage, but he certainly did.

He had restrained himself earlier, yet now endurance failed him.

Nian Che must never, in any scenario, seek to injure Chiang Xiao.

Wasn't his intent in wedding Chen Zhu to provoke Chiang Xiao and ensnare her thoughts in knots?

Nian Che continued, "Incidentally, Zhu’er and I expect to have children shortly. Zhu’er spoke of her prior daughter, but it doesn't trouble me. With my own daughter, our forthcoming son with Zhu’er would gain two sisters. How splendid!"

Was he purposefully entangling Chiang Xiao, Nian Mutong, himself, and even the offspring Chen Zhu might produce?

Though he avoided direct harm, these tactics repulsed others, evoking the disgust of swallowing flies, didn't they?

Chen Zhu gazed vacantly at Chiang Xiao, starting to utter, "Little..."

Before the word fully escaped, Meng Xinian bellowed.

"Ding Haijing!"

Ding Haijing emerged without warning.

Meng Xinian declared coldly, "This woman faces prior reports of suspected fraud and theft; as upright citizens, shouldn't we aid the Public Security officers with this righteous act? Haul her to the station!"

"Yes!"

Unaware of the full circumstances, Ding Haijing nonetheless detected the odd tension in the space and the seething fury along with lethal intent in Meng Xinian’s stare. He grasped the situation at once.

Thus, wordlessly, he approached, seized Chen Zhu’s arm, wrenched it behind her back, and thrust her savagely toward the exit.

Nian Che pounded the table and leaped to his feet.

His earlier smile evaporated.

"Halt! What is the meaning of this!"

Ding Haijing spared him no glance, shoving Chen Zhu straight out the door.

"Brother Che!" Chen Zhu cried out in panic.
