Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1055: Chapter 1056: Not Quite to My Taste

”Who are you?” Sister Lian couldn’t help but retort, ”Aren’t you just that country girl who annoyed the Alliance Officer Meng into the hospital?”

”Get out.” Chiang Xiao ordered coldly.

She was already quite upset about having to take care of Meng Chaojun, even though she did it for Xinian, but nobody said that taking care of someone has to be done with tenderness and whispers, right?

She would do whatever made her most comfortable.

Sister Lian was startled, set down the glass of water, and hurried out.

After all, she was just a helper, how dare she truly confront a client like she would with Chiang Xiao? Besides, the look in Chiang Xiao’s eyes just now really scared her.

”Chiang Xiao, you’re so rude and impolite. Does Xinian know?” Meng Chaojun’s face darkened.

This was definitely not the daughter-in-law he had in mind!

”Uncle, I’m really sorry, Brother Xinian treats me very well, so I’m not at all rude or impolite in front of him,” Chiang Xiao gave him a fake smile. She put down the bag and took out a thermos.

This thermos was, of course, the same one from before, scavenged from the Meng family’s kitchen.

But its outer shell was plastic and had cracked upon impact.

Meng Chaojun felt a tightness in his chest from anger.

”What are you here for?” he said irritably.

Old Meng had first gone to find a doctor and let Chiang Xiao come to the ward first; now that he had arrived, he just heard Meng Chaojun’s question and said coldly, ”If she didn’t come, would you have water to drink, porridge to eat?”

”Didn’t Qingqing go back? She will naturally come to take care of me.”

Old Meng laughed at this, ”You know the character of your little wife, don’t you? She abandoned you at the hospital early in the morning, brought Duan Feian, An Kuanghong and that Gu Xin with her to pick a fight with Little at home! After I said a few words, she ran away crying!”

Meng Chaojun was stunned for a moment.

He remembered what Sister Lian had just said, was it Chiang Xiao who annoyed him into the hospital?

How he got to the hospital last night, although he was somewhat aware, was now a blurry memory that he couldn’t quite recall.

Even if he didn’t like Chiang Xiao, he still had a basic sense of right and wrong.

”I’ve had a headache for a few days now, it has nothing to do with this girl.”

Could Qingqing really go back and cause trouble over this? Meng Chaojun couldn’t quite believe it. Besides, he himself didn’t like Qingqing’s sister-in-law that much either—loud, narrow-minded, and gossipy.

Meng Chaojun really didn’t like the fact that Qingqing often hung out with her.

However, she got along well with his older brother, and although Duan Fei didn’t have much capability, he often listened to his wife in big and small matters—Meng Chaojun still thought of him as more honest.

As for Gu Xin...

Meng Chaojun frowned; he disliked Qingqing’s cousin even more.

Seeing the cracked thermos, he didn’t speak.

Old Meng added, ”Little got up early to make porridge, just filled a thermos with it, and your little wife came with others and started a fight, spilling the porridge! Little had to re-cook more.”

”Qingqing wouldn’t hit anyone,” Meng Chaojun couldn’t help saying.

Chiang Xiao’s motions halted, and she looked at him, ”She wouldn’t hit anyone? She just missed me and then swung into thin air and fell to the ground by herself. Do you want to bet on whether she will have tears in her eyes and a pitiful look on her face when she sees you, as if she’s implying that I hit her?”

Meng Chaojun’s face darkened.

He never thought there was anything wrong with Qingqing’s usual behavior.

Aren’t women supposed to be like that? Delicate, touching, crying when wronged, and then seeking comfort from their man—isn’t that right?

But for some reason, after being described by Chiang Xiao that way, he felt that something was off.
