Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3004: Chapter 2940: Stay Out of It

So after making the call, she immediately briefed Ding Haijing and the others about the trip to Huchuan.

She didn’t know Chun Hong’s appearance, but the people who were sent previously to watch her and Deng Qingjiang did know, so Ding Haijing decided to bring one of them along.

They approached Meng Sheng, and as soon as he heard about it, he agreed right away. He then found a young man named Si Huzi, who had been monitoring Deng Qingjiang, and Jiang Xiao promised to give him three hundred yuan for accompanying them, without needing to cover any expenses.

Just by tagging along, he could earn three hundred yuan without doing anything, just identifying people. Si Huzi was delighted upon hearing this and agreed right away.

They couldn’t get tickets for that day, so in the end, they bought tickets for early the next morning.

At this point, Jiang Xiao was left waiting for news from them.

However, the trip to Huchuan wasn’t quick; by the time they returned, nearly ten days had passed.

Jiang Xiao hadn’t expected them to be away for so long.

While waiting, Wei Yixi visited when Meng Xinian was on leave and returning home. Jiang Xiao followed Meng Xinian to the Alliance District and stayed for two days, specifically to thank Old Yang. After all, it was because of him that Jiang Xiao was able to investigate the First Science Research Institute and catch Dai Zhongwen.

There was no more news from Madam Cui. Jiang Xiao called once, but a woman answered, likely Madam Cui’s daughter.

Jiang Xiao asked her to relay the message, and the woman only responded with a curt acknowledgment and hung up. In the following days, Madam Cui didn’t return the call. Jiang Xiao suspected the woman that day, Ms. Cui, hadn’t passed on the message.

So, Jiang Xiao didn’t call again.

After all, Madam Cui isn’t too distressed now, having returned home. With so many people in the Cui Family, judging by that woman’s tone, Jiang Xiao realized she might not be very welcome there, so she decided not to cause any trouble for Madam Cui.

She decided to contact Madam Cui less.

Previously, Madam Cui had spent a long time in the sanatorium. Now finally at home, she probably needs to mend relationships with her family.

It’s best for Jiang Xiao, an outsider, not to get involved.

”Commander Cui must be especially busy these days.”

Recently promoted, Meng Xinian said while holding her, ”I met him once at a meeting. He seemed hurried, only managed to greet me, and didn’t say anything beyond that.”

What Meng Xinian didn’t tell her was that since Commander Cui specifically greeted him that day, people seeking him had increased.

Sharing these details with Jiang Xiao would only trouble her without any benefit.

”Is everyone this busy?”

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but gasp.

During this time, whenever she called D State, Sun Han on the other end would say Uncle Yang had something to report.

Or someone or another was looking for him.

When Jiang Shiheng spoke to her on the phone, it was strictly business with no time for casual conversation.

This is something Jiang Xiao could certainly understand.

Lately, the Jiang Family and Lu Family have been clashing, openly and secretly, and her great-grandfather wanted to gradually hand over Jiang Family affairs to her father during this period. In addition to internal matters within the Jiang Family...

Just imagining it, she knew how busy Jiang Shiheng must be.
