Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 721: Chapter 722: Incitement

”Exactly! Fong Jianye and Gao Wei have been close as brothers since childhood, but now they’re about to fall out because of that brat Meng Xinian, causing both families to be on the brink of a fight!” Meng Chaojun’s face was as dark as can be, ”No matter how the Fong Family and the Gao Family fight, they’ll both have a huge mess to clean up afterward! By then, they’ll only blame the Meng Family together!”

Duan Qingqing covered her mouth with her hand, and her eyes widened in alarm before she asked somewhat indignantly, ”How could they blame the Meng Family for this?”

”Why do you think? Of course, it’s because of Meng Xinian! They’ll definitely take their anger out on us. If it weren’t for him, would their two families ever have come to such a state?”

Duan Qingqing’s face showed her worry, ”But you can’t blame Xinian for this, it was Gao Wei who started the trouble against him first. They really are something else. Even if Xinian really did fight and bully them in the past, isn’t that all water under the bridge? How can they hold a grudge for so many years and come seeking revenge?”

”Who could forget being beaten up so many times after just a couple of years? Whose fault could that be?” Meng Chaojun said angrily, ”Meng Chaojun is known for being fair and not playing favorites! Now that it has come to this with the three families, Meng Xinian must take the lion’s share of the responsibility!”

”Alright, alright, don’t be too angry. I’ll call Xinian back first, and we can ask him what’s going on before we jump to conclusions.”

With that, she went to make the call.

Standing by the phone, she blocked the receiver with her hand, turned back and glanced at Meng Chaojun, who was angrily gulping down more water from his cup, clearly not paying attention to her.

She pretended to dial a number, but didn’t actually connect the call. After a moment, she said in a gentle and tender voice, ”Hello, is this Chen Yin’s Mother? I was wondering if our Xinian is at your place? Oh, he’s not? I...”

Meng Chaojun looked over at her, and Duan Qingqing, holding the receiver, looked back at him with a touch of hurt in her eyes, ”Chen Yin’s Mother hung up on me.”

”Outrageous!” Meng Chaojun slammed down his cup, his face darkening again, ”That Chen Yin is nothing but trouble! If he keeps hanging out with Chen Yin, what good can come of it? I keep telling you there’s no need to be so polite to that kind of person!”

”Chao Jun, you can’t speak like that. The Chen Family used to be respectable, and it’s rare for Xinian to have a good friend. If Chen Yin can lead him into business to make some money in the future, that wouldn’t be a bad thing,” Duan Qingqing put down the receiver, sat down beside him, and gently soothed his back with her hand.

”Narrow-minded woman’s view! Why get involved in business when he’s fine in the Alliance District?” Meng Chaojun snorted dismissively, his dissatisfaction with Meng Xi climbing to new heights, ”Now he’s even mingling with a disreputable young lady, is he trying to drag his old man’s reputation through the mud for others to trample on? Enough, Qingqing, leave this to me, I’ll have someone check things out thoroughly.”

Old Meng has also been busy coming and going early and returning late these past few days, not even having a chance to face his son, totally unaware of his plans.

He and Meng Xinian have been busy lately.

Meng Xinian had already received the tea snacks sent by express delivery from Peace Town.

Chiang Xiao had each type sent in three boxes to her grandfather.

This was no small amount of money, and her grandfather had sounded somewhat reluctant over the phone. If it were for Old Meng and Meng Xi to eat, he wouldn’t mind at all and would even make a few extra boxes.

But hearing they were to be given to others, he felt uncomfortable about it.

This was spending Chiang Xiao’s money, after all.

After listening to Chiang Xiao explain what necessary advertising expenses were, he finally came around.
