Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2521 - 2457: Judging People’s Character

Indeed, the problem with Jiang Yingqiong lies in the fact that for two full decades, she has viewed Lu Shuangshuang as her sister-in-law.

Throughout those years, Lu Shuangshuang has truly offered her much solace. The pair of women frequently sat together, sharing memories of Jiang Liu to honor him.

Ultimately, Jiang Yingqiong avoided mentioning Jiang Liu around Old Master Jiang, as bringing him up always left the elder in poor health.

Therefore, within Jiang Yingqiong's heart, Lu Shuangshuang retains a vital place.

He could grasp this sentiment.

Yet, humans tend to be self-centered, and it's essential to prioritize what's primary over what's secondary, isn't it?

"You need to realize that your close bond with Lu Shuangshuang over the years stemmed mainly from seeing her as Xiao Sixth’s fiancée, or even his spouse. However, she has lost that role now. Your main focus should remain on Xiao Sixth. Without him connecting you two, your common ground isn't that deep, and it's not the free-flowing chats you share with your other confidantes. The connection between you isn't just straightforward companionship."

Li Hanzhong was already preparing the tea.

The tea's aroma appeared to ease the tiredness from his daily labors a bit.

He lifted a cup and set it before Jiang Yingqiong, inviting her to sip, while he himself drank from his cup.

"At this point, for you, Xiao Sixth must come first, and even Little should rank higher than Lu Shuangshuang. Consider what the father and daughter desire, rather than constantly worrying about Lu Shuangshuang’s views."

With the tea sliding past his lips, its full, crisp taste drew a contented sigh from him.

Suddenly, a thought struck Li Hanzhong.

The superior quality of Jiang Xiao’s tea makes it a candidate for exclusive supply.

Still, as an exclusive item, it wouldn't appear in regular markets.

Perhaps he should seek a chance to discuss with Little whether this tea could be available in tea shops?

Observing Li Hanzhong's pleased face as he enjoyed the tea, Jiang Yingqiong couldn't resist commenting, "Occasionally I think a single tin of tea leaves from Little might sway you completely. I notice you're forever anxious about upsetting her."

Li Hanzhong chuckled heartily.

"That kind of judgment you've only directed at me before." He grinned at her and added, "Just wait and see, Little’s prospects could rival the support Lu Shuangshuang gets from the Lu Family. She's just starting out young, but in a few years, you'll witness it."

In any case, he was confident in his assessment.

Jiang Xiao’s road ahead stretches wide open.

On the other hand, Lu Shuangshuang’s opportunities may not expand much more.

After a refreshing bath, Jiang Xiao napped briefly, emerging from the Space feeling at ease and serene.

The moment she stepped out of her room, the scent of cooking wafted toward her.

Her belly rumbled in response, prompting her to hurry to the dining area.

Meng Xinian had finished dishing out the rice and, spotting her, beamed, "You arrived right on time." He guided her to a seat, "Try out my handiwork. Though I haven't gotten full lessons from Grandma Yang yet, I did phone her for the recipe details."

Grandma Yang was Yang Zhiqi’s mother.

"You actually reached out to Grandma Yang?" Jiang Xiao showed mild surprise.

Glancing at the three dishes laid out, one seemed over-charred, another was hard to identify as veggies or soup, and the last one appeared somewhat presentable.

"Yes, ignore how they look—they may not be pretty, but I've sampled them, and the taste is really solid. It's a win in my book."

Noticing her dubious look, Meng Xinian quickly defended, aware she was mentally rating them poorly.

Jiang Xiao broke out in amused laughter.
