Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2435: Chapter 2371: Don’t Waste Talent on Trivial Tasks

Did they finally get anything out of the interrogation? We still don’t know the result.

Meng Xinian said, ”We didn’t get much. That person’s very tight-lipped. However, I expected this. We certainly can’t learn much in just one day. Let him sit for a couple more days first.”

”Could it be that he has poison hidden in his teeth, and to avoid interrogation, he’d bite down on it to commit suicide?”

”Pfft.”

Meng Xinian couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

”I say, have you read too many messy novels, girl? How is that possible? The more skilled a person is, the more they cherish their life. He wouldn’t want to die that easily.”

Chiang Xiao felt a bit embarrassed at his laughter.

”And about that Hu Xiangyong, did Ding Haijing tell you he wants to ask Wei Yixi to investigate?”

”He did, and I agreed.”

”Huh?”

Meng Xinian glanced at her and said, ”What, you thought I’d be jealous again? I might not be able to investigate everything thoroughly on my own. This concerns your safety. Did you think I’d refuse others’ help just out of jealousy? Wei Yixi does have access to certain secrets others can’t uncover.”

If Wei Yixi can find out, that would naturally be best.

Chiang Xiao blinked and said, ”I never called you a jar of vinegar.”

”Hmm, I am not.”

Chiang Xiao silently retorted in her heart, it’s rare for him not to be; usually, he is.

”By the way, I called Meng Sheng to send someone to check on Deng Qingjiang.”

”Have him search?”

Chiang Xiao was quite surprised to hear this.

”Don’t underestimate Meng Sheng. He knows quite a bit of all sorts in the Capital City. Plus, it would be overkill to have Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng follow Deng Qingjiang.”

Hearing Meng Sheng being mentioned, Chiang Xiao remembered something she needed to tell him.

”By the way, Brother Xinian, Meng Chaojun, um, I mean, Dad is in the hospital.”

After saying this, Chiang Xiao observed Meng Xinian and indeed saw his grip tighten on the steering wheel.

Clearly, he still cares about his father.

Which isn’t surprising, considering he only has two close relatives left.

Fortunately, she didn’t disregard Meng Chaojun entirely. Otherwise, leaving aside Old Meng and Meng Chaojun, the person she’d let down the most is Meng Xinian.

”I happened to be at the Meng Family, and you mentioned before that I should change my name and ask Grandpa for help. So, I went to see Grandpa and just caught sight of the ambulance. Dad had fainted, so I followed to the hospital and arranged for him to be admitted. His condition has worsened, and the doctor said the treatment plan needs to be adjusted. But don’t worry, I’ve already given him some adjusted Spiritual Spring Medicinal Water.”

”I wasn’t worried at all,” Meng Xinian said with a cold face, indifferently.

He seemed completely unconcerned about Meng Chaojun’s condition.

Chiang Xiao pouted.

Just being stubborn.

However, she didn’t want to expose him.

”I just remembered, I was supposed to visit him at the hospital today.”

It seemed she truly didn’t care much about Meng Chaojun, having not remembered this to tell him right away.

Chiang Xiao inwardly reflected for a moment.

”A man like him isn’t going to die that easily,” Meng Xinian added.

”Yes, yes, there’s no way he’d die so soon. Let him live to ninety-nine, so you can have the pleasure of looking down on him later.”

Meng Xinian reached out and pinched her cheek.

This girl was teasing him.

However, he understood what Chiang Xiao meant about adjusting the potion’s ratio. She’d stepped in to save Meng Chaojun.
