Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1071: Still Knows to Keep a Secret

Fong Jianye was momentarily stunned before immediately pursuing her.

”Chiang Xiao!”

Meng Chaojun’s complexion looked terrible, almost grayer than yesterday.

”What’s the deal with Chiang Xiao? How did she get involved with Fong Jianye?”

”What do you mean ’get involved’?” Old Meng couldn’t help but bark, ”Which eye of yours saw them ’getting involved’? That’s all the Fong kid showing off, can’t you see? Little doesn’t pay any attention to him at all!”

It was enough to infuriate him to death.

He knew Meng Chaojun was a patient, but as soon as he heard him speak, he couldn’t help but want to yell at him.

Yet, even though he was shaking with anger, he still shoved the military canteen into Meng Chaojun’s hands, ”Drink water!”

Meng Chaojun had actually been waiting for the ’potion’ Chiang Xiao was supposed to deliver all day. The water tasted only sweet with a faint hint of tea, without any medicinal flavor, yet its effects were incredibly good.

He listened to Duan Qingqing crying all night long yesterday. Qingqing was constantly worried that if he died, there wouldn’t be a place for her in the family anymore. Her cries kept him from resting at all.

He had been incredibly hungry that morning, so he had asked her to go out and buy some food.

However, she had been gone for a long time and returned with a cold flatbread. After a few bites, he didn’t know why, but he vomited.

While he was eating the flatbread, Duan Qingqing insisted on lying on top of him and kept saying that he had to hold on and not die, and then he ended up vomiting all over her.

Thinking back to Duan Qingqing’s reaction at that moment, Meng Chaojun still felt a chill all over his body.

She screamed and jumped up, her first words being, ”Ah! Ah! Ah! My clothes are custom-made, they’re so expensive! They’re ruined!”

It seemed like only afterwards did she react, hurriedly asking him, ”Chao Jun, are you okay? I’ll go get a doctor!”

And then she ran off.

But as soon as she ran out, she cried out, ”Nurse! Nurse! Get me a clean towel, quick!”

In that moment, Meng Chaojun was reminded of Mother Xinian.

Once, when he was young, he got drunk and vomited all over the living room and himself. The next morning, he woke up feeling fresh, and his clothes were washed and hanging dry on the balcony.

His heart was in pain, and his body felt terrible, and he couldn’t help but think of Chiang Xiao’s potion.

Now, drinking the potion, he took a quiet breath of relief, feeling like he was still alive.

”Uncle, this water...” Meng Baoyuan looked at the military canteen in his hand and began to ask.

Before he could finish, Meng Chaojun took a few sips and then said indifferently, ”The boiled water in this hospital has a certain taste I can’t get used to, it’s water from home.”

Meng Baoyuan then realized.

”I see, I thought maybe there was something special about the water that needed to be brought in specially from outside.”

Old Meng glanced at Meng Chaojun.

Hmph, at least he knows to keep a secret!

Chiang Xiao, from within the Space, watched as Fong Jianye ran out, looking around.

She had no desire to waste time on Fong Jianye, so as soon as she emerged, she teleported to a corner and entered the Space.

Fong Jianye had even planned with Gao Wei to beat up Meng Xinian; she was already being lenient by not beating him up. As for the Fong Family’s intentions, she knew all too well; they just thought she had a ’treasure potion’ and coveted it.

”You damn girl, running so fast, are you lacking a man that much, eager to go and get laid?” Fong Jianye, unable to catch up with Chiang Xiao, spat out in frustration and cursed.

Chiang Xiao’s eyes turned cold.

This kind of person was nothing but a scumbag.

Waiting until Fong Jianye left, she emerged from the Space and took a bus back to school.
