Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1308: Chapter 1309: Cannot Accept

”Yes, if Meng Chaojun and Duan Qingqing haven’t been living as a married couple for some time, then how did Duan Qingqing get pregnant?”

Chiang Xiao felt somewhat awkward discussing this issue with Meng Xinian.

After all, it was about his father and stepmother.

”There are only two possibilities.” She held up two fingers and said, ”First, Duan Qingqing isn’t pregnant and is indeed experiencing some kind of physical discomfort. The other reason is...”

That child isn’t Meng Chaojun’s.

Meng Xinian didn’t need her to say it; he knew it in his heart.

His face suddenly darkened.

Tolerating such a stepmother had already been a reluctant effort, moreover, it wasn’t something he could decide—as Duan Qingqing had married Meng Chaojun when he was still young.

Tolerating a half-sibling with the same father was already a matter of helplessness.

But how could he possibly tolerate an unrelated child being born into the Meng Family and assuming the identity of his brother or sister!

”Considering she’s unwilling to see a doctor now, the second possibility seems more likely,” Chiang Xiao added.

Meng Xinian scoffed coldly, ”What audacity.”

If Duan Qingqing wanted to make Meng Chaojun a cuckold, that was none of his business.

That was Meng Chaojun’s own choice.

But if someone tried to force a child, who had no relation to the Meng Family, into the role of his sibling, he would never tolerate it.

”Let’s see what she plans to do first,” Chiang Xiao suggested, also surprised to encounter such a melodramatic situation in the Meng Family.

”My vacation is almost over...”

Before he could finish, Chiang Xiao interrupted him, ”It’s not convenient for you to handle this, and it wouldn’t look good if word got out. So, about this matter... I will come up with a solution. You should go back when your vacation ends, and for the next couple of days, pretend you know nothing about this.”

She didn’t want Meng Xinian, a grown man, to get involved in such affairs, especially when it concerned his father and stepmother.

Besides, he might have his reservations, whereas she wouldn’t. Fortunately, she was still on vacation.

Meng Xinian responded with a heavy sigh.

Yet the matter continued to affect his mood.

Duan Qingqing, knowing they had returned, claimed to have migraines and hid in her room.

Nian Mutong also noticed the oppressive atmosphere at home.

She truly didn’t understand why her uncle insisted on sending her back to the country and demanded that she live in the Meng Family home.

Although Meng Xinian was exceptionally handsome, and she felt her heartbeat race at first sight, she soon sensed his daunting presence, not the type of man she preferred, because she knew the kind of man she could control, and Meng Xinian was certainly not one of them.

Moreover, she wasn’t foolish; she could see that Meng Xinian was truly devoted to Chiang Xiao, and she lacked the confidence to compete with her.

”Aunt Qing, I’ve brought you some lean pork porridge. Please open the door.” Nian Mutong called out at Duan Qingqing’s door.

Inside, Duan Qingqing felt nauseous once again at the mention of lean pork porridge.

She was having a hard time of it.

She had longed for a child and now that her wish had come true, it tormented her terribly. She remembered her sister-in-law, Kuang Hong, didn’t react this badly during her pregnancy. Now, Duan Qingqing couldn’t tolerate the sight or smell of food.

Feeling like she was starving yet unable to stomach anything!

”I don’t want it anymore, Xiao Tong. You can take it back down.”

With no alternative, Nian Mutong took the porridge away. Seeing Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao about to leave, she hurriedly bowed her head to make way, afraid that Meng Xinian might ask her when exactly she planned to move out.
