Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2317: Chapter 2253: Three Rumors

Now it’s twenty to thirty thousand, but this bracelet is definitely worth more than that. Is it really okay to give such a substantial gift as a meeting gift?

Meng Xinian raised an eyebrow, waved her over, signaling her to come.

Chiang Xiao walked over to him.

Somewhat unclear what he meant.

She walked up to him, and Meng Xinian held her face, asking seriously, ”Chiang Xiaoxiao, tell me, why can’t you accept a meeting gift worth twenty to thirty thousand, acting like it’s worth hundreds of thousands?”

After all, she herself could sell a painting for thousands, so logically she shouldn’t regard twenty to thirty thousand as such a big deal.

Uh...

Chiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat, and then she immediately said, ”I heard that jade, like gold, retains its value, no, jade is even more valuable than gold. Isn’t it said that gold has a price, but jade is priceless? So I think if this is kept, its value will keep rising in the future.”

Meng Xinian nodded.

”Take it, at most... you help him prepare a bit of ointment. Old Yang had a back injury before, and it aches whenever it’s windy or rainy.”

”Well... Grandpa Chen actually taught me a recipe, and I have all the ingredients.”

Using Chen Baoshen’s recipe, along with her ingredients, the effect would indeed be quite good.

”Then make him a few batches, and bring them over next time.”

Chiang Xiao glanced sideways at Meng Xinian, immediately understanding his meaning, ”You just want me to come over again next time, don’t you?”

Meng Xinian hugged her, letting her sit on his lap, rested his chin on her shoulder, and laughed lightly, ”You worked hard to create that green rooftop garden, you can’t just abandon it. You can come stay for a couple of days now and then, come on the weekends.”

”I fertilized the garden, even if I don’t come, it’ll grow just fine,” Chiang Xiao said, ”Don’t be too lazy, remember to pick some vegetables now and then and cook for yourself.”

What she meant by fertilizing was spreading a thin layer of Spatial Black Soil.

Moreover, those vegetables were definitely more nutritious than the ones in the cafeteria.

”I won’t cook; I’ll pick them and take them to Aunt Yang to cook. I’ll just go over and eat; I’ll wait for you to come cook.”

Chiang Xiao burst into laughter.

”You might not know, if it’s for Uncle Yang’s ointment, I can actually finish it tonight.”

”You are not allowed to stay up late tonight, keep me company to sleep.”

”Tyrant Meng, that’s enough!”

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but give him a pinch. When he said sleep, it wasn’t just sleeping, it was exhausting.

It’s been two continuous nights, what more does he want?

”I heard that for the past couple of days, there’s been a rumor in your camp that I’m a tiger-woman, right?” Chiang Xiao suddenly thought about this matter.

Since she arrived, she hadn’t been to the cafeteria, rarely went out, only took a walk with Meng Xinian after dinner, making a big loop.

Because it was cold outside after dinner, not many people were out like them, so they didn’t meet many people, but they did bump into some.

They all greeted, and Chiang Xiao felt their gazes were a bit odd but not malicious.

It wasn’t until this afternoon when Dai Gang came over and whispered a few words to her that she learned within just two or three days, three versions of rumors about her had already spread.

The first was saying that on the day she arrived, Meng Xinian closed the door and scolded her to tears.

The second said that after she came, she caught Meng Xinian with a blind date and caused a scene, making Old Yang have to step in and mediate.

The third said she was a tiger-woman, and even Tyrant Meng didn’t dare raise his voice to her.
