Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 894: Chapter 895: Entanglement

Meng Xinian’s face darkened as soon as he heard that sentence.

He felt an immense relief that he had caught Zhao Erleng watching them or else who knows what trouble might have arisen.

”It doesn’t matter if you saw! But if you dare spout nonsense to your sister-in-law, I’ll skin you alive! Do you hear me?”

”Captain, I won’t tell sister-in-law, but,” Zhao Xin’s expression was somewhat conflicted, he looked quite disapproving, ”you are already betrothed to sister-in-law, yet you and Miss Xiao Du are still... all tangled up. Isn’t that unfair to sister-in-law?”

Meng Xinian: ”...”

Could he possibly throw this fool back into the furnace for a makeover?

”Which eye of yours saw me getting tangled up with someone else? Can’t you choose your words? If you can’t, should I sign you up for the literacy improvement class?”

The old camp area would run a literacy improvement class on weekends to help the team members enhance their cultural knowledge. He felt Zhao Erleng was exactly the type to benefit from a bit more study there.

Zhao Xin was not convinced.

”Captain, don’t think I can’t see what’s going on! Just now, Miss Xiao Du’s eyes were red. When you left, she even lowered her head and started to wipe away tears! If you claim there is no entanglement, then why did you make her cry?”

That girl had cried?

Meng Xinian cursed inwardly.

Where did all these crybabies come from?

And Zhao Erleng, what business was it of his if someone felt like crying?

This was becoming increasingly impossible to clarify!

Meng Xinian glanced at the stage and noticed someone waving at the side, indicating it was almost his turn. He took a deep breath and made a few empty motions towards Zhao Xin, ”I’ll talk to you after the fight! Just remember not to talk nonsense, that’ll do!”

”You’re making me complicit in deceiving sister-in-law...” Zhao Xin still grumbled dissatisfiedly.

Unable to endure any longer, Meng Xinian said, ”Go ahead, say it if you want to, I’ll explain things to her clearly!”

Having said this, he walked towards the combat arena.

Zhao Xin scratched the back of his head, ”I really do need to call sister-in-law later, this is on your head! Anyway, I have to tell sister-in-law to keep an eye on you.”

They had heard of some people who couldn’t resist temptation and messed up, ruining their homes and living in constant disputes. He was looking out for the captain, not wishing for him and sister-in-law to end up like that.

After all, Miss Xiao Du was truly beautiful. What if the captain fell for Miss Xiao Du before sister-in-law was fully grown? What then?

When it was Meng Xinian’s turn to go on stage, people like Gao Ming and Meng Chaojun had their own thoughts as they tensed up.

Meng Chaojun looked vaguely distracted and dejected.

As he watched his son walk to the center of the stage, he suddenly remembered that day.

It was the first and only time he had hit his wife, and he had regretted it ever since. The look in her eyes at that moment had been etched into his memory, impossible to forget.

It was also the reason Meng Chaojun no longer got drunk and was exceptionally good to Duan Qingqing.

After that incident, he swore to himself never to drink to excess again and to be kinder to the women around him.

Yet, why had he been unable to contain himself and hit Xinian’s mother that time?

Meng Chaojun was lost in his recollections, and while he was distracted, Meng Xinian had already knocked his opponent down on the stage among countless watching eyes.

The crowd erupted in loud cheers.

The man struggled but couldn’t get up.

Meng Xinian’s punch had been too heavy; he had initiated the attack a step ahead, but before he could make out Meng Xinian’s movements, his head buzzed, and he fell uncontrollably.
