Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1057: Chapter 1058: Utterly Unlucky

”Chiang Xiao, this medicine...” He looked at Chiang Xiao and asked, ”Did you also give this to Fong Jianye before?”

Chiang Xiao blinked, ”He had it before, but it was just a coincidence at that time. Fong Jianye happened to be about to wake up. I originally thought it would take at least a few days for there to be a glimmer of hope.”

Of course, Fong Jianye wasn’t just about to wake up; it was because of her Spiritual Ginseng Water that he regained consciousness, but Chiang Xiao left herself a way out.

Even if it was just a coincidence, her potion was precious enough.

Meng Chaojun blurted out, ”Such precious potion, how could you give it to Fong Jianye?”

He had not been good bringing this up; as soon as he did, Chiang Xiao was filled with indignant rage, which she couldn’t suppress.

She stood up and looked at him coldly.

”Why do you think? It’s because if Fong Jianye didn’t wake up at that time, Brother Xinian’s situation would have been very difficult! His difficulties came not only from the Fong and Gao families, but also from his own father! As his biological father, you don’t understand what kind of person your son is, you don’t believe what your son says, neither being fair nor protective, only blindly accusing him!”

”What do you know! That good-for-nothing Meng Xinian caused me so much trouble from the day he was born! He’s a troublemaker through and through! Where do you see me misunderstanding him?”

”You understand him? He causes troubles?” Chiang Xiao grew even angrier, ”What troubles has he caused? If in your eyes, incidents like that time are his fault, then let me say, being born your son, he really is utterly unlucky!”

Meng Chaojun’s face went ashen with anger from her merciless accusations and scolding.

Was Chiang Xiao truly intent on being Meng Xinian’s partner?

Rather than trying to ingratiate herself with her future father-in-law, or at least putting up a good front, she dared to point at him and curse like this!

Where on earth did she get the gall!

”Chiang Xiao! You have some nerve!”

”I’m not finished yet!” Chiang Xiao retorted, ”At that time, Brother Xinian hadn’t done anything; it was Gao Wei and Fong Jianye who sought him out when they learned he had returned to the Capital. Have you ever thought about who brought the nunchaku? Gao Wei admitted at the time that the nunchaku were his!”

Chiang Xiao truly felt for Meng Xinian, ”If it were me, just hearing that much, I would know someone deliberately went to beat him up, and no matter what happened afterward, the first thing I would do is seek justice for him! Even if in the end, he really did beat someone to the ground or to death, it would have been self-defense! It would be the other party’s own fault!”

Meng Chaojun looked at her in shock.

He had never considered the situation in that light.

”What if he had killed someone?”

Chiang Xiao scoffed, ”Then, if he had to go to jail, I’d visit him every day, bring him food, and wait for him to come out. If money was needed, I’d sell everything I have to make up for it. But if the other side wanted his life in return, I would hire the best lawyer to defend him. All that talk about a life for a life, nonsense! They came looking for trouble, who can they blame if they find it?”

”You, you...” Meng Chaojun was so shocked he found himself at a loss for words for a moment.

He had truly never heard such an argument before.

”What does this have to do with Brother Xinian? How can you be so sure he was causing trouble?” Chiang Xiao grew more incensed as she spoke, ”Besides, it was originally Gao Wei who wanted to hit him but accidentally struck Fong Jianye! What did you think when you saw Fong Jianye lying in the hospital bed?”
