Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1642: Chapter 1644: One Against Two

Chiang Xiao met his gaze.

She saw determination and protection in his eyes.

She didn’t answer Cheng Cheng’s question, but instead asked, ”May I ask, what’s your relationship with him?”

Cheng Cheng’s lips curled slightly, ”Sure. Father and son.”

”Ha!”

Chiang Xiao almost spat out.

”Fa... Father and son?” she stammered a bit, ”Are you serious? How old is this person you’re talking about?”

Father and son?

According to Chiang Qingzhu’s description, Ah Liu was at most seventeen or eighteen at that time, so now he’d be thirty-five or thirty-six, definitely not over forty. Cheng Cheng seemed to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, could Ah Liu really have a son this old?

Almost instantly, Chiang Xiao felt disappointed.

She thought the person Cheng Cheng mentioned might just have the same name, probably not the person she was searching for.

Cheng Cheng continued calmly, ”He’s around thirty-five or thirty-six, I’m twenty-five this year, and he’s my adopted father.”

Adopted father...

Thirty-five or thirty-six...

Chiang Xiao felt her heart was bound to have problems sooner or later.

She couldn’t help but look at Cheng Cheng with a hint of resentment. Couldn’t he stop scaring people? Couldn’t he say at the start that it’s an adopted father?

Looking at her lively eyes, Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but let his lips curl again.

”Can I eat something before I continue? I’m starving.” He glanced at the breakfast on the table.

Steamed buns, soy milk, pickles, rice porridge.

It smelled delicious, and he was hungry.

Knowing Chiang Xiao was back, he didn’t even bother with breakfast and rushed over.

Chiang Xiao paused.

What kind of person is this? Knowing she’s anxious, couldn’t he finish speaking first?

However, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao, listening in somewhat dazedly, immediately invited him to sit down when they heard he was hungry.

”Have a seat, have a seat, we made plenty of breakfast, enough to eat.”

”I’ll serve you some porridge. Cheng Cheng, do you eat porridge?”

Cheng Cheng pulled out a chair and sat down, nodding to Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao, ”I’m not picky, I’ll eat anything, thank you, grandpa and grandma.”

Chiang Xiao: ”...”

How did they become his grandpa and grandma?

Meng Xinian gently patted her hand, ”You should eat too, we’ll talk after eating.”

Since Cheng Cheng said they’d talk after eating, he agreed, not wanting her to go hungry. She had come back from a morning run, so she must be hungry, and if they continued talking, breakfast would get cold.

Chiang Xiao felt a bit lamented.

Why did she feel like she’s outnumbered?

Finally finishing breakfast, they moved to the living room, Chiang Xiao sat beside Meng Xinian, with Cheng Cheng across from them.

”Can you talk now?”

Seeing her bright eyes, Cheng Cheng felt she resembled a little deer.

His heart softened, and he said, ”Where would you like to start?”

”From the time you met him, how did you meet? Is he from Province X?” She knew Cheng Cheng was from Province X.

Cheng Cheng shook his head, ”He’s not. His accent is a bit mixed, I’ve guessed he’s traveled to too many places, and he’s quite capable at learning, even mimicking how people from various regions speak, so his original accent is undetectable.”

Meng Xinian immediately caught the crucial point, ”Does he not know himself?”

Cheng Cheng looked at them and said, ”If my adopted father is indeed the person you’re looking for, you should know his intellect... is slightly limited.”

It’s really him, it’s really him.

Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao already confirmed that Cheng Cheng’s adopted father was definitely the person she was searching for.

However, Cheng Cheng continued, ”But it’s not congenital, as he has shown improvement over the years.”
