Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1570: Chapter 1572: Not Worried About Him

”Tell that punk Meng Xinian to come up and pick up the phone. Just tell him it’s me calling!”

Deputy Du hurriedly put down the receiver, ran to the hallway, and shouted downstairs, ”Little Meng! Come upstairs and answer the phone—it’s Great Officer Yang!”

Downstairs, Meng Xinian didn’t even lift his head. Walking toward the training ground with Cheng Cheng, he simply waved his hand at the words and responded, ”Tell him I’ve got no time. I’m getting ready to beat someone up.”

Deputy Du: ”...”

Cheng Cheng looked over and shouted, ”Deputy Du, pass along my regards to your Great Officer Yang. Just tell him I’ll leave Meng some strength to pick up the phone later. He doesn’t need to worry.”

Deputy Du: ”...”

Why does it feel like my head’s about to explode? What on earth is going on here? These two don’t even have a grudge, so what’s their deal?

Chiang Xiao and Wang Yi had just walked a short distance when a car horn sounded behind them.

They moved to the side of the road, but the car stopped right next to them.

Dai Gang poked his head out, looking extremely excited, and said to Chiang Xiao, ”Sister-in-law! I purposely chased after you to ask if you wanted to head back first!”

Head back?

”What’s the matter?”

”A big-shot arrived at our camp—an elite from Pioneer Team A of Province X. He challenged our Great Officer Meng as soon as he got here! They’re getting ready to face off. Want to go back and cheer for our Great Officer Meng?”

Chiang Xiao froze for a moment.

”Someone formidable?”

”Yeah, definitely. We’ve all heard of his reputation.”

Chiang Xiao exchanged glances with Wang Yi.

”Forget it, I think I won’t go. Your Great Officer won’t lose anyway.”

Chiang Xiao shook her head. She was extremely confident in Meng Xinian’s skills. In the past, hearing about something like this might have made her a little worried, and she’d have wanted to watch—but now Meng Xinian had already consumed so much pure Spiritual Spring Water.

His physical abilities had been optimized to their peak. Combine that with his skills, and there really wasn’t anyone who could beat him.

The only possible exception would be if weapons were involved, but that didn’t count.

Besides, if she headed back now, and Meng Xinian won the fight, what if he got carried away in his good mood and kissed her in front of everyone? That guy had been a bit dangerous lately; his self-control in this area was somewhat deteriorating.

”Sister-in-law, you really don’t want to go back to watch?”

Chiang Xiao shook her head. ”Nope, I’m good.”

Dai Gang looked a bit disappointed and asked again, ”Then, should I drive you back to town?”

The two of them had been walking to get back.

Chiang Xiao saw his expression—clearly eager to return to watch Meng Xinian’s showdown—and smiled, saying, ”There’s no need. Wang Yi and I feel like walking back leisurely—it’s fine.”

Dai Gang turned the car around and left, while Wang Yi looked at Chiang Xiao with some confusion. ”Xiao Chiang, aren’t you worried at all?”

”Worried about what?”

”He just said that person is really skilled. Aren’t you worried about Great Officer Meng losing or getting hurt?”

Chiang Xiao laughed.

”Why would I worry? That’s not an enemy. It’s not a dangerous battlefield—it’s the camp Meng Xinian knows best, the training ground. There’s no danger involved. Besides, even if that guy is good, Tyrant Meng is also great. If he’s accepted the challenge, it means he’s confident. I’m not worried.”

Wang Yi looked at her serene demeanor and couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

She truly envied the relationship between Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian.

Once they returned, they tidied up a little, and Chiang Xiao took Wang Yi to Huali Tea Garden.

It had been a long time since she’d last gone there. Uncle Huo, Big Master Huo, and Aunt Ah Yu were all overjoyed to see her. They prepared an incredibly rich spread of food to treat them at lunchtime.
