Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2036: Chapter 1972: What Manners

But he thought, if I haven’t tried, who knows?

So, today he came over.

With a bag of oranges and a bag of candies in hand, here to give New Year greetings—surely Chiang Xiao wouldn’t turn him away, would she?

Who knew the door would be opened by a man like this.

Beside him was another man of similar age.

Which one of these two men is Chiang Xiao’s fiancé?

”Who are you? Who are you looking for?”

The moment Meng Xinian saw Chen Liting, he instinctively felt repulsed.

Even though this young man looked decent, he just felt distaste through every pore.

”Hello, is this Chiang Xiao’s home?”

Chen Liting asked.

Since he couldn’t tell which one was Chiang Xiao’s fiancé, he thought he should still maintain a good attitude; he couldn’t haphazardly identify the enemy, what if he made a mistake?

”I asked, who are you?”

”My surname is Chen, Chen as in ’Ear East Chen’, I’m Chiang Xiao’s cousin, here to give New Year greetings...”

”Get out.”

Before Chen Liting could finish, Meng Xinian coldly spat out a single word, ”Get out,” and then slammed the door mercilessly.

Bam.

Chen Liting’s high nose bridge was nearly hit.

He stepped back abruptly, almost falling to the ground.

What kind of person is this?

”Hey, what kind of manners do you have?” he angrily shouted, jumping in frustration.

He felt his attitude was good enough, his tone was fine, nothing was wrong!

Even if the person was Chiang Xiao’s fiancé, he hadn’t shown any signs of being a romantic rival yet, what’s this about?

Slamming the door right in his face like that?

If this man is really Chiang Xiao’s fiancé, then he’s really not worthy of her!

Such an ill-mannered and rude man should be dumped by Chiang Xiao! Anyway, they’re not married yet, only engaged; totally possible to call off the engagement.

Cheng Cheng watched the tightly shut door, raising his eyebrows slightly.

”Who was that person?”

Meng Xinian coldly said, ”Don’t know, never met him.”

”You don’t know him and you directly slammed the door in his face? Didn’t he say he’s Little’s cousin?”

”When did Little have a cousin?”

Meng Xinian glanced at him, as if he was looking at an idiot.

A Chen...

The only thing he could recall was Chen Kaijin, the wife of Deng Qingjiang, having a slight connection.

Thinking of this, Meng Xinian’s face darkened a few more shades.

Could it be that Deng Qingjiang still wasn’t giving up, still thinking of getting something from Little?

Chen Liting called out a few more times outside, but nobody paid him any mind, so he had to leave with a belly full of anger.

Now in winter break and being New Year, he hadn’t returned to his hometown in Z province but stayed at the Qingjiang Family’s home.

When he returned, Chen Kaijin and Deng Qingjiang were arguing.

”On the second day of the New Year, why aren’t you at home with us, where are you thinking of going? Deng Qingjiang, be honest, do you have someone else out there?”

”I’ve told you, it’s a business meeting, can’t you stop picking fights all day?” Deng Qingjiang said impatiently, putting on his socks.

Chen Kaijin clenched her fists, ”What kind of business absolutely needs to be discussed during the New Year? On the second day, who talks business?”

”Why can’t business be talked on the second day? The people want to talk on this day, what can I do? I’m exhausting myself every day, working like a horse to make money, just wanting you all to have a good life, to eat well, dress well, hold your head high before others, let you enjoy the feeling of being a dignified wife, instead of appreciating me, you keep looking for trouble, making things hard for me on purpose, I say Chen Kaijin, what exactly are your intentions?”

”Don’t try to sound so grand!”
