Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3012: Chapter 2948: Everything Is Predestined

Meng Xinian rubbed her hair and immediately saw the cup on the coffee table. ”Who was here just now?” It was obviously the look of having hosted a guest.

”Dad was here,” Jiang Xiao said. ”Look at that bag of apples, Grandpa Cui asked him to bring them for me. He went to see the Commander Cui. Said that engineering project he mentioned before will have him as the chief in charge from now on, and Mingtian he officially goes back to his post.”

Meng Xinian gave a faint ”mm,” and didn’t say much more.

Jiang Xiao knew that getting this kind of reaction out of him was already pretty good, so she didn’t push it further.

Eating tomatoes, she brought up the matter Ding Haijing had talked to her about before.

”Brother Xinian, what do you think?”

After listening, Meng Xinian pondered for quite a while.

There was one thing he was very sure of.

”You are not going over there. I’ve looked into the situation in Huchuan recently—it’s really a mess, and not something one person can stand against. Old Ding’s right, this should be left to the military. They’re already getting ready to hit crime hard over there. Just wait a bit. I’ll have people on that side keep a close watch on Chun Hong. As long as she doesn’t leave, she won’t be able to get away in the upcoming operation.”

Jiang Xiao nodded.

”Once they’ve caught her, I’ll find someone to bring her to you.”

”Alright then, since you’re all saying that...”

Jiang Xiao sighed. They all thought she shouldn’t go to Huchuan, so she might as well listen to them.

Sometimes when a city has rotted down to the roots, ordinary people can’t even imagine how chaotic it can get.

They had a point; she really didn’t need to take that kind of risk.

And besides, she didn’t want anything happening before the wedding. If something did and they couldn’t get married as planned, Tyrant Meng would probably tear her apart and swallow her whole this time.

”I’ll wait. When are they moving over there?”

”It’s still confidential for now. But don’t worry, we’ll definitely have people watching Chun Hong. We won’t let her slip away.”

”Okay.”

Meng Xinian touched her face and praised her. ”My little wifey is so good, so obedient.”

Jiang Xiao: ”...”

So she’s supposed to be a little pet dog?

She naturally told Jiang Shiheng about this as well.

Knowing that they’d already dug up a lead about finding Shi Xiaoching, Jiang Shiheng felt his heart ease a little.

”Little, don’t get anxious. Remember what Dad told you before? We’ll find her. It just won’t be that fast.”

In that dream of his, it should have been winter.

It’s only summer now. Even if it’s this year’s winter, there’s still half a year to go.

As long as he knew that in the end they would find her, that was enough.

”Okay, I’m not anxious. It’s been so many years already, I don’t care about this bit of time. But, Dad, aren’t you actually the one who’s more anxious?”

Jiang Shiheng couldn’t help but chuckle.

”I really am not that anxious, Little. Everything has its destined course.”

”Dad, don’t you go seeing through the dust of the mortal world and running off to become a monk.”

”Haha.” Jiang Shiheng burst out laughing.

Since they’d decided to wait on this matter, Jiang Xiao no longer felt so impatient. Anyway, she had Meng Xinian and Ding Haijing helping her keep watch.

And just like that, time slid by until it reached Chen Yin and Wang Yi’s big wedding day.

Jiang Xiao was still the bridesmaid.

Speaking of this, she felt she’d gotten the short end of the stick.

Only unmarried women can be bridesmaids, so whichever of her and Wang Yi got married first, the other would be the bridesmaid.

Now what’s giving Jiang Xiao a headache is: when it’s her turn to get married, who is she going to ask to be her bridesmaid?

She only has Wang Yi as a close girlfriend. As for bridesmaids, she really doesn’t want to ask someone she’s not that close to.
