Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1286: Chapter 1287: More Beautiful than the Scenery

However, why was Old Meng so wary of the Duan Family?

”Even if the Duan Family found out, they couldn’t snatch it away, right?”

”Duan Qingqing’s father has always been ambitious, but he lacks the capability. He had hoped that Duan Feian would bring glory to the ancestors, but Duan Feian is even less capable than his old man. Therefore, Duan Qingqing’s father had plans to move out of the Capital City political circle and start somewhere else. The ancestors of the Duan Family were once Imperial Merchants and even Concubines, and at the beginning of the Qing dynasty, they even supported silver mines, but later on, the descendants of the Duan Family couldn’t keep the family business, and they lost it all.”

”Father Duan had hinted that he wanted the Meng Family’s help to return to the original family business. Although silver mines and jade mines are different, they are both mines. If they knew that the Meng Family still had such a mine, the people of the Duan Family would definitely cling on tightly like leeches. By then, to achieve their goals, who knows how many dirty tricks they’ll use.”

Chiang Xiao always found it strange.

”If Grandpa has always had such a poor opinion of the Duan Family and is so guarded against them, why did he agree to let your dad marry Duan Qingqing in the first place?”

Back when Old Meng was still in power, if he had been truly firm, Meng Chaojun wouldn’t have been able to marry Duan Qingqing.

The corners of Meng Xinian’s mouth turned up slightly, his face filled with mockery, ”Before getting married, when raw rice had been cooked into cooked rice, the Duan Family came knocking, and the Meng Family couldn’t afford to lose face or bear the blame of toying with a female comrade, so they had no choice but to marry her.”

So, why was he so insistent on waiting until after marriage to be intimate with Chiang Xiaoxiao? It was also because he disdained such men and such actions and refused to be a bad example.

Suddenly, Chiang Xiao thought of what Du Jinruo had said that morning and poked Meng Xinian’s chest with her index finger, saying, ”Why didn’t you agree to meet with Comrade Xiao Du this morning and listen to what secret she had to reveal about Duan Qingqing? She seemed to really know some secret about Duan Qingqing.”

”Hmm? Do you want me to go?” Meng Xinian said, his hands pinching her cheeks, his tone carrying a light threat.

Just as Chiang Xiao was about to speak, the car stopped.

Chen Yin said, ”They’ve stopped; they’re probably planning to rest here.”

Indeed, the people from the bus ahead had all gotten off and were waving at them.

Only then did Chiang Xiao turn to look out the window, surprised, ”Huh? When did we start driving up the mountain road?”

Outside the car window were already tall green mountains, a scene of beautiful scenery.

Chen Yin felt somewhat speechless and sighed, ”Sister-in-law, from the moment you got into the car, you’ve been in Xinian’s arms, your thoughts on him, never once looking out the window, right?”

This level of stickiness left him without words to say, no wonder Meng Xinian insisted on coming along for the trip. It was obvious that he couldn’t bear to be apart for a minute, wishing they could stick together twenty-four hours a day.

Chiang Xiao didn’t feel ashamed at all and boldly said, ”Yes, I just can’t get enough of my Tyrant Meng. He’s better looking than the scenery.”

She said this partly because she wanted to give Chen Yin a little wake-up and push, otherwise she would have been too embarrassed.

Yet Meng Xinian raised an eyebrow with a smile, reached out to stroke her head, and praised, ”My Kitten is so good.”

This was the first time Chiang Xiao had revealed her feelings for him in front of others like this.

Chen Yin shook his head, ”You two are really something.”

Annoying or not?

”Chen Yin, come over for a second,” Xu Yiqiu shouted at him from the other side.

Chen Yin immediately responded and turned back to say to them, ”I’ll go and see what’s the matter,” then walked toward Xu Yiqiu.

Chiang Xiao went over and hooked Wang Yi’s arm, ”Let’s go take a look too.”
