Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1340: Chapter 1341: This Matter is Easy to Handle

”Severing the father-son relationship?”

Chiang Xiao scoffed.

How could that be possible?

If such a thing were possible, she would also wish for Meng Xinian to place an ad to sever ties with Meng Chaojun.

But that would amount to nothing more than self-deception.

First of all, the law wouldn’t recognize it and secondly, if something serious happened and an investigation ensued, they wouldn’t be regarded as strangers just because of such a declaration.

Emotionally, by blood, and legally, their bond still existed.

So, Meng Xinian wouldn’t do such a meaningless thing.

”I also think it’s impossible, but some people are talking as if they’ve seen it with their own eyes.”

Chiang Xiao suddenly became vigilant and asked, ”What else did they say? Did they say why Brother Xinian wants to sever the father-son relationship with Meng Chaojun?”

Chu Liang hesitated for a moment and said, ”It seems to be because Officer Meng finds Meng Chaojun an embarrassment, and now that Meng Chaojun has a tumor, a serious illness, Officer Meng is afraid of being dragged down...”

”Bullshit.” Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but curse, ”I knew those spreading such rumors had ill intent.”

They were targeting Tyrant Meng.

Meng Chaojun was undergoing chemotherapy; his condition was clearly becoming difficult to hide, so it was also unlikely for him to return to his post.

He posed no further threat to those people; therefore, they were now aiming at Meng Xinian.

”I’ll go talk to Brother Xinian about this.”

She would not let these people slander Meng Xinian this way. Although they were indeed willing to care for Meng Chaojun, they would not allow others to maliciously tarnish his reputation.

However, before she could go to Meng Xinian, Meng Xinian had already come to her.

Perhaps due to many days of exposure to wind and sun, Meng Xinian’s skin had turned a shade darker, and when his face was stern, he was like a sheathed sword, sharp and gleaming.

”I’ll deal with this. Little, you’ve already done enough for the Meng Family. I’ll handle it from here; you don’t need to worry.”

Meng Xinian patted her head and said, ”Actually, this matter is easy to handle; I just need to go on an assignment. That’s why I’ve been waiting for this chance. Our unit is heading to the border, and the people we caught last time have unraveled some border forces involved in serious crimes, so we need to make another trip.”

As soon as she heard ’border forces’, Chiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be very dangerous?

”Brother Xinian, do you really have to go?” she said, her heart feeling heavy.

”Silly girl, why would you ask such a question?” Meng Xinian eased his expression and said, ”An assignment is a must-go. As for the danger, trust me, I’ll come back safely.”

For her, he would also come back safely without fail.

Although he hadn’t told her, it was indeed a highly dangerous mission.

That border force lived life on the edge of a gun, hardly distinguishable from desperados.

But even so, they had no right to express fear.

Supervisor Guards, like soldiers, needed to obey orders, unafraid of bleeding or sacrifice.

”How long will it take?”

”This time it will be quite long; at least two months, at most half a year.” That was why he had come to see her and to properly say goodbye.

It was the first time Chiang Xiao found it so hard to let go.

”Be good, go back to Huaming County for school. At the latest, I’ll be back to celebrate the New Year with you.”

”I’ll be seventeen by New Year,” Chiang Xiao looked at him.

”Mm, and then we’ll have just one more year until we marry.”

”Okay, then be careful,” Chiang Xiao caught his shirt collar, stood on tiptoes, and gave him a kiss.

Meng Xinian hugged her, his reluctance so strong it felt as if it would glue him to her, unwilling to let go.
