Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1051: Chapter 1052: Not Presentable

Chapter 1052 Unfit for Public Display

Upon hearing Duan Qingqing’s account, Kuang Hong immediately pinned the blame on Chiang Xiao.

”I think it’s no coincidence that Chao Jun collapsed when that wretched girl first entered the house; he must have been angered by her! She should bear most of the blame for this incident! Perhaps it was just a minor issue initially, but it worsened because she infuriated him!”

As Duan Qingqing already had this in mind, she asked an aunt who went with the Duan Family to stay at the hospital while she hurried back home with her elder brother and sister-in-law.

She feared that Chiang Xiao, feeling guilty and scared, might have left the Meng Family early.

However, she thought too much; how could Chiang Xiao possibly feel guilty and scared?

There was not only her sister-in-law rushing towards Duan Qingqing but also a man who looked to be just over thirty, very fair-skinned, tall, and slim, dressed in tight black pants that accentuated his shapely legs and buttocks.

He helped Duan Qingqing up quicker than Kuang Hong and anxiously asked her, ”Are you alright?”

Duan Qingqing gently freed herself from his grasp.

This scene might have seemed ordinary, but Chiang Xiao slightly frowned. The man gave her an uneasy feeling, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on what exactly was strange.

He glared at her and yelled, ”What is the matter with you, girl? How can you be so rude? Can you afford to compensate if you hurt someone?”

Compensate for a fall?

”Excuse me, who are you?” she coldly stared at the man.

The man paused, angrily responding, ”I’m her cousin! A relative of this family!”

Her cousin, huh...

Calling his cousin directly as ”Qingqing”? She hadn’t misheard, had she?

Before Chiang Xiao could speak, Kuang Hong swung her hand, and Chiang Xiao thought she was aiming for her face again. However, her gesture changed midway and struck the thermos Chiang Xiao was holding.

The thermos filled with porridge was knocked out of her hands and crashed to the ground, the lid popping off and porridge spilling all over.

An irresistibly sweet aroma of porridge instantly filled the air.

This inadvertently caused them all to swallow their saliva.

In their rush to intercept Chiang Xiao, they hadn’t had breakfast yet. Particularly Duan Qingqing, having stayed all night at the hospital, was now so hungry she felt dizzy and light-headed, which caused her fall earlier.

Chiang Xiao’s expression immediately darkened.

The porridge she prepared contained Spiritual Spring Water!

”You really don’t consider yourself an outsider! Staying here overnight, and even cooking porridge to take with you when you leave?” Kuang Hong, fighting the urge to swallow, scornfully gazed at Chiang Xiao. ”You’re truly a hillbilly unfit for public! You even steal porridge! I wager in the countryside you struggle even to find enough food, don’t you?”

Kuang Hong truly believed this.

She never considered that Chiang Xiao’s porridge was intended for Meng Chaojun; she thought Chiang Xiao planned to flee with it.

Having visited very poor and backward villages, where children would choose a plain bun over any attractive toy you offered them.

It was laughable!

How many buns could the money for a toy buy, yet they didn’t understand, didn’t know.

In her eyes, Chiang Xiao was exactly that kind of country girl.

No matter how handsome she looked or how well she dressed, it couldn’t disguise the fact that she was just a country bumpkin, a poor peasant girl who didn’t belong on the public stage.

As Duan Feian observed Chiang Xiao, he couldn’t help but say, ”This girl is just taking advantage of her looks, probably having both Meng Xinian and Chen Yin wrapped around her finger, right? No matter what, we must clarify this with Uncle Meng and also talk to Chao Jun, lest Meng Xinian be foolishly deceived.”
